A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
On Saturday evening the local Times urged '"'the ratepayers to vote against the Council's scheme "by a large majority." Showing how completely that unhappy journal has lost its influence m the district, the ratepayers by over two to one voted the" other way ! This is what is achieved by a time-serving journal. It is therefore no wonder it is becoming the laughing stock of the district, and that its former supporters ire deserting it on all sides, Its influence for good or evil is now nil,and it may be left to linger till the ' end m peace. It has proved itself false to the 1 bfest interests of the town, and already it has experienced a foretaste of popular indignation and popular, contempt. . ; . . . ■■ >
