The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1888. The Municipal Election.

A few more than half of the burgesses of Mastovton recorded their votes at the Mayoral election yesterday, very many of thorn .refusing to b4. persuaded .or driven to tho poll. They did not care two pins who was returned, and their interest in the result was almost nominal.. What we feared has come to pass, Mr Eenall is ouce morq elected Mayor of Masterton by a considerable majority. The people of this town like a Municipal chief hot and strong and there is a popular idea that Mr Renallhas"go" in him. The "go" did nothing for tho town during the past "twelve months, an|l' lye shall be agreeably ..surprised if it' cfoes (inything for Mnstevtoiv during the ensuing tern). We have to thank .Mr Feist for coining forward imd giving those burgesses jn the town who' prefer sober pulling at the collar to pantomimio prancing an opportunity pf recording t]}6ir yotes. Personally we congratnlatp Jilr ijenall on his victory, Ijtit we cannot' accept it as 'being'in the test interests ofthe town. If Mr Renall can carry through to a successful issue a water soheme or any other project for the benefit of the town, we will candidly admit twelve months hence that we are wrong iii t|jj! ssfinmtp \y<s jiayg formed of his administrative' powers, If Jjo 'will only lead the Counoil instead of driving it he will find no unreasonable obsti'uetionrouiuUheliorae-alioetable, Cr Carman at last Tuesday's meeting moved tnat it would be quite possible |o lpjfg jjdyftijtageous arrangements i» this town, ptti ; ti|uiar.scheme its defined by liim Ms qnp or- two imjirnctioftbletispeofsfbut It tellies material out of wiiiqli ft pvojoot suitable'to tho requirements of the •Borough may bo matured, If Mr Renall devoted-a.little of his leisure to planning improvements in tile direction indicated by Cr Cannon, jiiifl then worked harmoniously with tho Counoil tg carry them out ho could do good service , la lli§ town because his influence with the ratepayers would pfobabjy, be' sufficient fo induce tlieni to assent tp any wellconsidered proposals of |ii.cli tt pliarftcter.''
