THE ELECTION OF MAYOR.
HAMILTON BOROUGH COUNCIL.) There was more than ordinary excitement yesterday over the election of Mayor. The confidence of their supporters m the success of either candidate was unbounded, though the constant pricking of the card was saii to give the prospect of a very close run. The run, however, was far from being so close as was expected, as the event showed. At the close of the poll, the numbers were for Whyte 9S Gvrynne ... ... 70 Majority for Whyte 22 The number of votes polled, shows how great an interest was taken m tha election. Deducting absentees from the roll, it is doubtful whether both parties, had they had another day to do it m, could have brought ap another dozen burgesses to the poll.
