The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1888. The Defeat of the Renallite Party.

The defeat of the Eenallite Party is if anything, more complete than we anticipated, The anti-Eenallites put up seren candidates, and returned the whole of their men. The two other seats were left for the Eenallite Party to do whatever they liked with, but the latter were not strong enough even then to fill them with the candidates who wero nominated by Messrs Recall and Hogg. These unhappy aspirants were left out in the cold, and two ex-councillors, Messrs Carman and Cullen, took the seats which the auti-Benallites did not claim'. It will be seen by the return that for the ami-Renallite party 1882 votes were recorded as against 889 for the Eonallito candidates. The remarkable feature of the election was the return of every ex-Councillor who was put in nomination, We should not have regretted seeing a little more new blood in the new Council, though it has a fair representative in this respect in Mr E. J. Fitton, but the nature of the contest was such that candidates who did not take sides had .a poor chance of being returned, and those who favored the Eenall combination were in a considerable minority, We Blioulil not liavo objected to have seen either Mr Mackay or Mr Bawson in the Council, but it would have been a distinct loss to the town had Messrs Gapper and Heron been replaced in the new Council, as was intended by the other side, with Messrs Broom and Eton. The declaration of the poll is an unmistakable vote of censure upon Mr EenaH'sadministfationofthe Mayoral office, Personally, Mr Eenall enjoys a considerable degree of popularity in this town, and it is only his oondupt as the head of the Borough Council to which the ratepayers take exception. He, in conjunction with Mr Hogg, forced an ejection on the burgesses in order to get rid of a Borough Council which disagreed with him, ai)d to pbtaina new one , which would support his views. The ratepayers, however, liayo sent back :

into powor tlio men whom he wished thorn ■to discard, and absolutely rejected the men he brought forward for their approbation. He asltetl for a vote of confidence and has received one, of censure. The old Borough Council is again in power with an emphatic support from the burgesses, which should inspire members to aot fearlessly and unresistingly as becomes men in jyhoiu 9, jfojl measure of trust is reposed. During the. past twelve I

months municipal government 'has been a perfect farce in Masterton, owing partly to the eccentricity of Mr Eenall and partly to a certain amount of vacillation amongst , coun-

cillors, 4%' the 'vote of yestorilay we trust''Mr Rpnall fill it' is not to the interest or the advantage of the town to further pbstruet'the will of (he Councillors, and Ik latter, while paying due deference to the office still held by Mr Eenall, aii'd 'displaying all due courtesy to the venerable occupant of it, ml) feel that full powers arovested in tueni, and jyjj} get upqn: tjiem firmly and wisely. A year ago, wlien Mr Eenall came forward as a, canclldato for the office of Mayor, we wrote:—

Wo ..wonder jvbetlier Mr Eenall really thinks that 'tho fiomisg Masr "should b?in Ulead oyjiosition lo tho .QQ.viictl '.p.vor nhifl) IfO Whfe to' jsesids., Does lie

Our prognostication of "hopeless discord" has', we , believe been verified, and the only way of terminating the deadlock, was for Mr Eciiall or tlio Council to go out of office. Tlie people, it appears, are at the back of the Council, and have given•' Mr Benall his dismissal.

A Fronch Viscountess, tho fashionable canon of a largo parish, an unfrocked prießt, and tho natural son of this last, aro the actors in a curious scandcl that is bein® talked about in France.

In the pamphlet issuod by the Governmejit on {ho dairy factories of New Zealand Mr McCallnm gives a short account of tho factories in the Wellington district from which we take tho following extracts: Greytown.—The cheoso here Ims been mado on the American principle, the quality being generally good, though more suitablo for tho local and Australian markets than for export to London. I found the buildings and machinery in good condition. Featherston.—Mr James Donald's private factory:—Ho understands his business thoroughly, and there should be no question of his success" Taratahi.— The plant is first-class af its kind, but there seems to me to have been unnecessary expenditnieon buildings andfittings. Cheese is made on tho English Cheddar system, The quality of milk used in this factory appeal's to bo poor; it only shows 8 pur cent of crcntn. Dalefidd near Carterton.—This institution lias already made its mark, both in London and local markets, and has proved a success. Tho cheese, which is made on the Cheddar principle is very good. " I Don't Wash That Stuff,ls what a lady of Boston said to her husband when lie brought home sumo medicine to euro her of sick headacho and neuralgia, which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At tho lirat attack thereafter it was administered to lior with such good results, that she continued its use till cured, and was so enthusiastic in it 3 praise, that sho induced twonty-Kvo of the best families in her circle to adopt it as thoir regular family medicine, That "stuff" isDr Soulo's Amorican Hop Bitters. Standard " Women JNkver Think.'—lf tho crabbed old .bachelor who uttered this sentiment . could but witness the intonse thought, deep study and thorough investigation of women in determining the best raedioines to keop their familios well, and would noto their sagacity and wisdom in selecting JDr Soulo's American Hop Bitters as the best, and demonstrating it by keepiug their families in perpetual health, at a mere nominal expense, ho would be forced to acknowledge that such soutimonts aro baseless and false.
