MAYORAL ELECTIONS.
The four chief cities of New Zealand have unceremoniously rejected the Social-Democrats who offered themselves for the position of Chief Magistrate. The Christchureh Press comments upon this fact in the following. terms: — "In every case the verdict is so clear and emphatic thai there is no material for the usual post-bellum sophistries of the defeated ; and the verdict is a condemnation of the extreme views which have made the pre&ent 'Labour movement' so unrepresentative of the ma as of wageearners, who'are safe and moderate in their views. It was not 'Capital' or 'Toryism,' or any of the other bugbears and bogies of whe LabourSocialists that protected the Mayor- ' al chairs from the extremists; it was the sanity of the whole community. The results are very gratifying for their evidence that the Red Feds, and their allies have a following small out of, proportion to their violence and energy."
