Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 1892. The result of the Poll.

We are bound to congratulate Mr Nye on his return at the head of the poll yesterday. It was a compliment that his attention to the work of the Borough deserved, and had nofc his opinion, as to the inadvisahility of raising a loan been so pronounced, one which we could feel really pleased at. The election, we may here remark, was wholly unnecessary, as hail Mr Nye announced his intention of again seeking office no one would have opposed him, as all recognised that he had given a very large amount of time to the supervision of work, which however the Borough has a paid officer to attend to. Whether it was necessary, under these circumstances so to trespass upon the Mayor's time, is a question, but there can be none as to the good nature that prompted this sacrifice at his hands. We do not think Mr McMillan need be annoyed at the result, as he polled remarkably well, and from promises made to him he should have been returned. That Mr Nye is mayor for another term will not offend him, as had not Mr Nye definitely announced through our columns that he would not seek reelection, Mr. McMillan would not have put himself in the breach. There cannot be a doubt but that a number of promises then made to him were broken when Mr Nye reversed his decision. This is of course very unfair, and causes unpleasant feeling. Those who supported Mr McMillan may fee! pleased that though they failed to. raise him to the highest position in the Borough they still retain hiservices at the Council table. Thus we view the purely personal aspect of the election. Pnblicly ii seems to have been pretty clearly expressed that the ratepayers wil have no loan, if they have to pay interest upon it, therefore of course, there will be no loan. The Counci' will have to endeavour to make bricks without straw and as the Mayor declaied he had a plan o doing so, we ask him to phow to thBurgesses, whose chief officer he has again become, how he is going t< metal the Motoa road to the bound ary of the Borough out of tin ordinary income within the nex three years ? Two horses are in the pound and will be sold on Saturday week if not sooner releisi'd. j Mr Nye thanks the el i tors for the result of the poll. Mr Robert.
