THE ELECTION RESULT. Ox various grounds tin1 communit y of j Aberystwyth are to ba cor.liallv congvat u- IaÙ"f 0:1 the result ot' JI md av's v<>ting. ] First of all, they are to be e.mgr.ih'.hite 1 on the selection o? Couneil'ors t h.*r have j L made. OL the five c^iuli'late.s M r. EDV-'TV MOKTIIS has Wen dropped, but in hU address of thanks to the oh;tors Mr. j Mourns has signified his intention of again i entering tho Municipal arena. in November j 'ext. Of the remaining four cnndi- j 'ites, Chi otain FOSSKXT >I:KIJTS has !)-) aeed at the head op the ])'11] with a ;markabh.; vote. This is a high coinpii- j a e 11 t to the CAI'TATN, but it- is ;iis > one that I reflects most creditably up >n the (doctor. r It shows that the wis. business-like. j enlightened municipal policy wirh which Captain Fos^eti- Ib.iuELT.s has identified himself is one that most strongly com- mends itself to tho g >od sense of the community. li- progress— reform in such mat); -rs as vrork- men's housing, water supply, financial administration: progress in rise direction of the increased attractiveness of the town as a seaside resort and <>f the adva»ic.» of the borough's rep'; Litem and good name. I Captain ROIU:R.T- has been less than a yeai in the Council, but there is not an item of this municipal programme of his which he has not promoted with ability and earnest- ness as well as with a most promising measure of snceesand tlr» cip icitv aiel zeal he has shown has on me 1 and has been justly rewarded with th.e signal token of confidence which the community.paid him on Motulav. We believe that confidence absolutely to bo well-place 1. Mr. D. 0. ROBERT- was given SECOND ph-.E-> ON the poll. This is a tribute io I he character he enjoys in the community for abiii; v and aptitude in pllIJli(. service, ami it is one | which It wen merited, His municipal policy is closely akin to that of Captain EOS.SEIT Ron BUT. and .as lie joins with that element which iias held such baneful rule in the Council so lone-, we shaii look to him to bend his energies exclusively to realisation of that policy. Mi\ JOHN EVANS'S refarn AS third on the poll must be taken largely as a personal compliment to him, for the community has had no past, experience of Inn in punii ■ work, and his residence in the town is of com- paratively recent date. Mr SA.MXKI, is a sound and tried Councillor whom we could have wished to have s" m hL-he:* on (he poll. Hut the Let that he has been IVI ui ncd fourth is to be taken as marking no diminution ot the public confidence in him, t lie general bodv ur ratepayers regarding him as a represeiualive-of ability and of honest Judgment. Bur v.'hilo the commuuirv are to be con- gratulated on rhe men of th'-ur election, they are still more cordial! v to be congratu- lated on tho judgment i hey have conse- quentially passed on the disgraceful tactic* that wore employed to defeat certain of the candidates. On Safurdav night tliere was hm-ir-hcl on the town an anonymous pamphlet, the design of which was to turn the el ectors against Oapt. FOSS::TT f(,):; iI: and Mr SAMUKr,. ft, wits a pamphiet thai simply rocked with falseho.) 1 and mis- representation. There is not an item of it that was not capable of complete refutation, and Capt. EOSSETT Ronnirrs and Mr SAMC^I. did not miss the opporfunify of Sntnrdnv night'3 meeting —restricted as that oppor- tunity necessarily was—to nail as many of tunity necessarily was—to nail as many of its 1 ie.s to the counter as possible. But mark the stage of the contest at which this malicious and Ivnig canard was sprung on the candidates agains! whom it was aimed. ft was a st;)g<> that permitted of no thmongh ami elective reply being uttered and publislied—late on I Saturday evening- with Sunday to follow during-whifditite pamphlet's gross misre- presentations might he expected to pervert --In, minds as did not at once detect their read character or the muddy source of their inspiration. Who was their inspiration r Mr SAMrs:r, said on Monday night he did not believe the ratepayers needed to go as far as to Scotland Yard for a detective to discover the author. The name of the author indeed springs to minds, but the community have the right to have him dragged from behind his anonymity into the daylight, lie signed the cowardly pamphlets as being- by a burgess," but we believe with Capt. FOSSETT ROBERTS that the author of such despicable tactics is unworthy of the name. The ratepayers have emphatically signified their condemnation of such low-down tricks by their handsome return of the candidates who were assailed.
