Our eitizens should show their interest in public matters, by not only attending the meeting and seeing that suitable nominations are made for the various oflices, but they should be anxious to hear discussed any question relating to the welfare of our people. Wheth- er the offices are filled by accla- mation or not every person accept- ing a. position should be prepared to express himself on past events and fu ure prospects. And as has been pointed out on former occasions ev- ery municipal officer should attend the nomination. Then, if any com- plaints are to be made the officers can receive them in person. Those rate-payers who do not attend the‘ nominations at all, or who run away as seen as the condidates are pro- posed, are generally those who do the most grumbling. \VEST YORK CONSERVATIVES. fiICHMOND HILL, Oh:- ‘Syiw if’iiam‘éi.
