THE VACANT STAR IN THE BOROUGH COUNCIL.

As there are three candidates in the. Hold this soat is likely to be (he object of keen competition, if the slightest reliance is to be placed on common rumor. That steps will 1)3 taken by tlieir supporters to canvass the ratepayers is more than doubtful if we are to judge by past experience. Yet if the friends of one candidate begin the game, it may be taken up by those of the other, and an interesting contest ensue. We would like to see this, in order to remove tin impression that is growing on the minds of outsiders to the effect that Feilding ratepayers do not care a straw who represents them in the Borough Council. In Mr 11. Worsf Id the workman will be represented. I and the same may be said of Mr S. Daw. Mr C. Koe will represent the interests of the Licensed Victuallers, generally a powerful body, and if his confreres support him his return will be almost certain. ' As Worsfold and D;iw both represent the same, class and will be supported by the same votes, it is probable the spilling of rotes will have the effect of returning Mr Eoe. It will be the duty of each party to poll to a man in order to secure the return of their favorite, and we hope to see a fair contest. We presume each candidate will take an early opportunity of expressing his views in public to the ratepayers, before the day of electiou.
