The nomination of Keeve and Coun- cillors for Markdale village took place on Monday last in Haskett's Hall, Mr. W. L, Young, Betuming-Officer. The attendance was not large yet considerable interest was manifested. W. J. McFarland was elected Beeve by acclamation. The following were nominated for the offic j oi councillor â€"Messrs. S. Hill, Wm. Lucas, E. S. Kae, Wm. Brown, John Lyons, C. W. Kutledge, G. M. Haskett, Thomas Mathews, Wm. Jackson and W. A. Brown. Mr. McFarland, Beeve, on taking the platform was heartily applauded, and in a neat speech reviewed the rise^ and progress of the village during the twenty-five years which he has done business in the place, and which dates back to its infancy. He was followed by Wm. Brown, Esq., who confined bis remarks more particularly to the circumstances which brought about this election. Other candidates brief- ly addressed ihe audience, and the meeting adjourned to meet at 7:80 in the same place in order to, if poseible, make the election throughout by ac- clamation, three of the above candi- dates having already withdrew from the contest, viz., C. W. Butledge, W. A. Brown and Thos. Mathews. EVENINO UEETINO. The adjourned meeting was well attended and an amicable decision ar- rived at by which Messrs. Jackson, Lyons and Haskett gracefully with- drew from the list of candidates, leav- mg Messrs. Wm. Brown, B. S. Bae, Wm. Lucas and S. Hill, who were declared elected by acclamation. The new council are all men of large stake in the place and each have been euccessful business men, and we may reasonably expect a wise and Judicious management of municipal affairs at their hands. The Standabd heartily congratulates each and all of them on their election by acclamation to the honorable position. basing, that the United States had Uyer known, was being begun by a general bombardment of abuse. Now a presidential campaign that is to be fought out on a prmciple. and that alone, is being begun by sober argu- ments and calm statement of facts. Truth, Toronto. Whatever politicians and protriot* may say, people in general are choos- ing farms and houses for themselves in all parts of this continent simply from considerations of soil, climate, c.. and not much on account of the particular kind of government that may be recognized. 11 it suits him- self a Canuck has no hesitation about pulling up stakes and going to Florida or California, and a Yankee will "change his sky" without much ado if he is convinced that there is money in a change, and why should it be otherwise A man would be a fool if he persisted from sentimental reasons in remaining in a certain country or under a certain flag while he thought he would be better every way by mak- ing a change. These are not the days for such santimentalism. By all means if a man thinks it best to live in Canada let him do so. But if he does not what is the use of whinging about his native land and making himself a martyr for a whim These are days of railways and rapid locom- otives. In nine eases out of ten a man is better to sit still than to be continually on the move. But if he dont think so why by all means let him move about till he is actually satisfied or is made at least glad to rest. A man with weak lungs would be a fool indeed who should presist in staying in Canada while Florida is at the door, and a genial climate can be reached by a few houra' or days' sail.
