-ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS.
ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS. The election of Commissioners for 1888 is over; the ratepayers have made their choice of seven gentlemen to represent them in the local parliament for a term of three years. Of the contest itself there is not much to be written its principal features are noticed in the report of the day's proceedings to be found m another column. But the result has been a considerable surprise. It was the almost general prognostication that the place of hon- ?^r ^blsT year woul(? be sained by Mr L1- ™ °?r' T an(i this proved to be correct. • r Williams also the prophets assigned a high place. Both these gentlemen denisA fJe^kln^ unmistakeable evi- in them C0I1fideace the ratepayers repose also ratftinoJ ^u6- more the old members them on the fact* But8 '1 T C0^r.atuIft? the roan 1+ before intimated, great anrVll had in elements of H of these that Mr J. foil It t i i?limW so h"gh 0° the would L ?aTBZ "ipakd that he would be one of the elect- bnt most sanguine of his friends and supporters hardly expected hjm to be third on the list. Me fellow fCft°ngrat*Iate 0,lr »ad ami- thfll T 8man on his access, and us!fnl °an doubfc 4hat he win1 make a useful representative. But the greater sur- prise of all is that Mr Wm WilE 1 We beea ,eft oat. We 0^ liwflStT#?7 fr'ipp0inted and we be- eve that is the feeling expressed cenerallv throughout the tom. Vrt fro^S i that MR Williams has already served the town faithfully fOR tWelve years in succession, HIS undeniable abilities claimed for him a more generons treatment. We do not regard Mr Williams as a defeated candidate and there are considerations which furnish a sufficient reason why he received so few votes. Owing to circumstances well-known to our readers he was unable to take a personal part in what may be termed the preliminaries to the con- test. He did not canvass the electors. Whether canvassing is a right thing or not, there is no doubt that it tells a great deal in favour of the candidate who practices it when the day of polling comes. Then again Mr Williams had no conveyances at his disposal, which was another disadvantage. Without disrespect to either of the successful candidates, we venture to assert that their success is to no small degree traceable to the fact that they were plentifully supplied with carriages to convey lukewarm and unwilling householders to the poll. And last of all, there was, undoubtedly, a determined effort made by a clique to keep Mr Williams out. His opponents worked silently, but diligently, during the week; and they have succeeded. But not altogether. He being the eighth on the list, will, if the Board act upon the un- derstanding come to at the last meeting, be at once elected to fill the vacancy caused through the resignation of Mr Go S. H8zle- hurst. Thus Mr Williams' valuable services may still be retained for the town and t is to be earnestly hoped he will con- sent to act. The loss of his services would be no loss than a calamity to the town. There are matters to come before tbotoard, to deal with which he is eminently qualified. Now that the contest is over, let us hope that the new Board will devote themselves with greater energy than ever to carry out all needed reforms and improvements with des- patch and economy. There has sprung up of late years among the ratepayers, and even some ex-commissioners, a practice of decry. ing the Commissioners and all their doings. Nothing they do is right. Whatever they do, or leave undone, is a subject of complaint. Such a spirit cannot be too strongly con- demned. Only recently we heard of one ratepayer, who happens also to be an owner, saying he would not disgrace himself by joining the Board; and yet the very same individual was willing to be elected through the" back door," as it is termed. He had not the courage to face the ordeal of an elec. tion. This continuous depreciation of the ser- vices of the Commissioners is neither fair nor generous. The members of the Board give their valuable time and their abilities to the service of the town and the least they can ex- pect in return is an acknowledgement that they do their best. Judging by the tone of the talk of some people, and the articles in some news- papers, one is led to ask-can there be any good or redeeming feature about the Commis- sioners ? To err is human. This is as true of corporate bodies as it is of individuals. The Commissioners no doubt have erred n the past; and infallibility cannot be looked for in the futuie. But then, it is really too bad to run them down on all possible occa- sions. To say the least they carry on the business of the town as well as any 21 gen- tlemen who might be elected in their place and very likely much better than if it were entrusted to those who are most prone to find fault.

His Honour Judge Horatio Lloyd, com- menting on the Local Government Bill at the Cheshire adjourned Quarter Sessions, said it was a bold and comprehensive measure, and created quite a revolution in the management of county matters. Having had thirteen years' intimate experience of county govern- ment, he did not think it was possible to de- vise a board which could honestly, economic- ally, and judiciously manage matters as had been done in the past. ¡

The North Wales Society for the Utilisa- tion of the Welsh language held their first annual congress at Bangor on Thursday, when addresses were delivered urging that the pre- servation of the Welsh language was a most worthy object, and that it had claims upon public as well as private support. It was also urged, that all acts of Parliament affecting Wales ought to be published in Welsh as well as English, and that more facilities for teaching Welsh ought to be afforded in coun- try schools. The report showed that the society had now 900 members.
RHYL DISTRICT WATER COMPANY.
RHYL DISTRICT WATER COMPANY. ANNUAL MEETING. On Taesday afternoon the proprietors of the Rhyl District Water Co. held their annual general meeting at the offices in Paradise Street, Rhyl, Mr R. J. Sisson, J.P., presiding. The attendance £ as £ arge; lb mclud ed Dr. Turnour, J.P., Deukgh Dr.; Davies, J.P. Bryndulas; Mr R. M. Preston, Chester; Mr S. Perks, J.P., Mr W. Wynne, J.P., Mr Oliver George, and Mr Thomas •Jones. 1 he proceedings were piirely formal. The twenty third annual report of the directorate, together with the statement of accounts, submitted ? i s £ arehol(lers' was very satisfactory. It showed the net earnings of the company for 1887 amounted to zC2450, being a slight increase on the previous year. The Water Rental, too, had increased by close upon £ 80. The report also contained a reference to the loss thr undertaking had sustained by the death of Mr W. M. Clarke, .Y Hendregyda, one of the oldest directors of the concern, who rendered most valuable service. The adoption of the report was moved by the Chair- man, seconded by Mr George, and we need hardly say, was unanimously accepted and adopted by those present. Di-vidends of 5 and 6 per cent. on the preference and preference shares, and of 2 per cent. on tie ordinary shares, free of income tax, were declared, which would absorb something like £ 1176, and leave X22 to be carried forward. Mr W. Bell and Dr. Davies, J.P., the retiring directors, were unanimously re-elected, as also was the auditor, Mr Partington. On the motion of Mr George, seconded by Mr Wynne, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the chairman and board of directors for their gratuitous services in the past year. A similar vote was accorded Mr Bayliss for his continued good and efficient services as secretary of the company. A donation of X5 5s towards the funds of the National Schools was likewise voted unanimously. The chairman having been thanked for presiding, the meeting dispersed. In his report the auditor has the following The voluminous books and accounts of the company are very neatly and accurately kept by Mr Bayliss, to which I have the satisfact- ion of again bearing testimony."

ABERGELEfHIGHWA:Y- BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Aborgele Highway Board was held at the Justices' Room, Abergele, on Saturday, the 7th inst, when there were present —Messrs T. Owen (in the chair), Edwards (Sirior Hir), W. Evans (Llanelian), Kerfoot (Hendre- bach), Roberts (Llanfair), D. Vaughan and D. Wynne (Bettws), with the Clerk, Mr Wm. DavieBj and the Surveyor, Mr Williams. THE ESTIMATES. The Surveyor read the estimates for the ensuing year, which amounted to 187,5 7s. 9d. The Chairman asked if they were below or in excess of last year's estimates. The Clerk replied that they were about L46 less. Mr Kerfoot called attention to the defective con- dition of the old Gwrych road. The Surveyor said that the foundation of the road was bad, and unless there was a good found- ation to a road, it did not matter how much mater- ial they would place on it, there would always be tracks in it. Mr IKerfoot maintained that the old Gwrych Castle Road was one of the best in the district, and suggested to the Surveyor the desirability of in- creasing his estimate, so that2it might be put in thorough good repair. The Chairman said if the estimate was increased they would have to add another halfpenny in the £ to thp rates. A Member: What was the rate last year ? The Clerk Five penoe in the X. The rate from 1885 to 1887 has been between 5d. and 51 in the £ Mr Edwards: We had better not increase the rate this year. It was then unanimously resolved that a rate of 5d. in the X, being the same amount as last year, be imposed. ""is was all the business, _n.o "'t. r

♦— The North Wales Conservative Demon- stration at Carnarvon on Tuesday last was, from a party point of view, undoubtedly a success i and very fully represented the strength of Conservatism and Liberal Union- ism combined in the six northern counties. The oratory, however, fell somewhat fiat. Why was not Mr P. P. Pennant appointed to speak at the evening meeting ? Perhaps the local managers of the demonstration did not know, as we do in Flintshire, of his powers as a platform speaker; he would certainly have done better than the gentle- men who preceded and followed the Premier. Lord Salisbury spoke for upwards offan hour buihis speech was notthe sort to rivet the at- tention of a Welsh Q,udience. He, knowing vefy little, or Perhaps cariLL, less, about thoso which are primarily aj^1^ tho Xpt-Fi!eofWale8'leftth8m The tithe question he did touch t I upon slightly; and we venture to say that the remedy proposed by hiti8 not such as will meet with the approval of the tenant- farmers of the Principality. With the quest- ion of local option he dealt more fully and hia utterances on this question, are not likely to meet with the ^approval of the licens- ed victuallers as a body. Bat on the quest- ion of Intermediate Eduoatioo, and above all, the question of the Disaatablishmeat and Disendowment of the Church, be said nothing. On the whole, the Premier's speech was a disappointment; and the demo-istration will have no lasting influence oa the electorate of North Wales.
ALLEGED TAMPERING WITH' VOTING…
ALLEGED TAMPERING WITH VOTING PAPERS. A SCRUTINY THREATENED. It is one of the great evils of the sys- tem of election by open voting that it allows so much scope to all unscrupulous officer to manipulate the votes to serve the interest of any candidate be might be in fav- our of. At Thursday's election, after the voting paper was delivered across the table to the returning officer, and so had left the voter's hands, it was in more cases than one tampered with by a paid official. We make this serious statement with a full knowledge of the weight of the responsibility attaching to it and we farther say that we believe if a scrutiny were demanded-and we hope it will-it would be found that Mr Wm. Will- iams, and perhaps Mr Wm. Davies also, have been duly elected by the ratepayers. Alleg- ations are also freely made that a person appointed to assist the illiterate voters used his influence with them in favour of a certain candidate, who was his employer.
