CORRESPONDENCE.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
[To The Editor.'] Sir, — From a recent article in your paper it would seem as if you were under the impression that the town would' go to perdition, or Hongkong, unless the ratepayers and the "goslows" are placed in charge of our municipal affairs. I. beg to' differ. The Legislature, in its wisdom, has said that the man who pays rent and the man who works 011 the road or in the shop has as much right to live, move and have a being as the man who rides in his carriage or his motor-car. If a working man is capable of voting, he is also capable of administering the affairs of the Council. We have too long been governed by the "go-slows" and the puppets of wealth. Let us have a change, and give the workers a chance. — I am, etc. WORKING MAN.
