We.are asked to believe that there has been, no municipal deadlock, and yet less than three montlis.agu we were given to understand'by our contemporary. himself that such a deadlock really did exist.

Are we to understand from the abovo extracts that there has or has not been a deadlock ? That the occupants of the 'municipal dove cot are the same, we all know, but still there is a change, and apparently that change is in our contemporary himself. Wo all remember how vigorously at one time he assailed a certain veteran councillor, but his Worship the Mayor j has been fishing" and has in some way kited Jiis hook to catch this JBno fish, aiid our contemporary,' iis' in duty, bound, is beginning; to chant the praises of. men whom whilom he! blamed. The Doyo Chief of the dove cot has not' only conciliated ail old bird, who it was known would not be caught with chaff, hut he has also, it is said, got his .bjllintoalledgling.
