The Chairman then invited the electors to ask any of the candidates any questions they wished, and in reply to motor, Mr. Price, one of the deputation appointed to see Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P., with regard to the Cilsamvs Mountain, explained the action he had taken, which appeared to give satis- faction. In accordance, with Jaw, five minutes were allowed any of the candidates to withdraw, and before the expiration of the given time Edward Lewis (Xo. 11), and William Williams (No. 28) withdrew their candidature. A considerable time was then taken up in counting votes by dlOw of hands, the proceedings lieing more than once interrupted with cnes of Let's go to the poll," "Let's have it fair and square," the Chairman remarking that the votes must be taken first. After the counting of the votes, the result was made known as follows :-1, William Hughes 2, D. W. Davies; 3, Richard Price, Abermorlais: 4, Matthew Owen 5, John Rogers; 6, Watkin Meredith 7, James Parry 9, John Morris 9, David Williams; 10, W. B. Griffiths; Rev. W. Silvanus: 12, Rev. Thomas Salathiel; 13, Watkin Williams; 14, Jos. Llewelyn; 15, Thomas Morris. Messrs. Lewis Harris and Richard Pond then demanded a poll, and it was accordingly decided to allow the election to be fought in the usual way. The 26 candidates will therefore go to the poll. Sin,—I dare say your reporter will give a detailed account of the above meeting held on Monday night. I wish, however, to express my regret at the action of these persons who have invoh cd the parish in an expensive and unnecessary election. It is more than probable that the constitution of the next Parish 't Conneil would have been amicably settled except for the unwise interference of three persons who must be held responsible for this extra burden. And who are these ? Cefn people are well aware that rates, bo they light or be they heavy, are of very secondary consideration with them. Of Mr. Lewis Harries and Mr. Joseph Llewelyn, who were loud in their demands for a poll, I ask how much of this unnecessary expense will devolve upon them ? Mighty little. Mr. Llewelyn, as a member of the School Board, ought to know that the rates of the parish are already exorbitantly high, owing mainly to the heavy precepts issued by the Board, and yet he has the effrontery to demand a poll, in order to satisfy the whim of a few irresponsible persons whom he thinks he lepreKeits. Ratepayers of Vaynor Will you allow yourselves to be led by the no<e by tactics of this sort ? Show your strong disapproval of such methods by bidding these would-be candidates turn- about-face. The laIJt Council was a splendid one. Are the new candidates proposed at the meeting superior to the old members ? I trow not. 1 tm: t, therefore, that the old members? will be triumphantly returned.—Yours, &u., BKTCHAN.
