NEWMARKET MAYORALTY.

Mr Suiter Before the Burgesses. Mr Scitbb, a candidate for the Mayoralty of the newly-constituted borough of New market, addressed tho burgesses at the Newmarket Public Hall last evening. There were about 300 persons present, and Mr McNeill was called to the chair. Mr Suiter, who on coming forward was received with long and prolonged applause, having mentioned the fact of his candida ture, proceeded to summarise the objections his opponents had to his taking the office of Mayor. Gentlemen, on behalf of Messrs Clayton and McColl had told him that he had been energetic, and had done much for the district, but that Newmarket required a man who had plenty of money, could drive a carriage, and entertain right royally—in fact, that he was not in a position to uphold the dignity of the office, and on these grounds they would oppose him. Though ho could not promiao, if elected, to enter tain right royally or to drive a carriage, ho could servo them faithfully and well. Ho did not know how these gentlemen knew tho state of his finances, as they had not seen into his books, and if they could tell him bow he stood that was more than he could do. The speaker then tnontioncd that Mr &. Buckland had been askod to stand, but had declined, not having the time. Mr Jagger was then asked, but thought it beneath his dignity, and roferrod the deputation to Mr Clayton. That gentleman knowing that he would havo no chance if lfo ran alone, at first declined, but when Mr McColl came out Mr Clayton changed his mind. He accused Mr Clayton of countenancing tho writing of a scurrilous letter regarding himself in tho newspapers, in which he was characterised as an advoaturer. He gave a sketch of his career in the colony. He had been here 22 years, and had been con nected with local politics since 1869. He sketched hia public and private career since ho had came to the colony to dispel the idea that he is a " here to • day • and - gone -to • morrow man." He had ontered the Kewmarket Board because he had urged the members to provide drainage and water, and had been poohrpoohed by them. He stood against Mr Clayton and Mr Walker on theso matter*, and was returned at the head of tho poll against them. He had been accused by his opponents of being given to reckless expenditure, and of spending the money on private streets. He quoted from the balance sheet of the district for last year to refute this statement. The second charge arose out of a grant of £6 worth of road metal for a road on Mr Sutton'e property. That gentleman had spent £2,400 in build ings on his property, and £128 on forming, metalling, and channelling tho road. He accused Mr Clayton of having favoured his friend, Mr Buckland, by allowing him to.cut up a paddock with a narrow street through it and then sell it. Subsequently Clayton told the poor men who purchased tho allotments that they must give 5 feet on each side, otherwise the Board would not keep the road in repair. When the Railway Department granted the land for the widening of the main road, Mr Clayton, who owned 125 feet fronting the Btreet, refused to con tribute the Is 6d per foot necessary for making the road. He (the speaker) paid Clayton's share out of his own pocket. Mr Clayton claimed to have done good to the district by the opening of Park Avenue. All tho work in the matter was done by Mr Graves Aickin, and all that Mr Clayton did was to append the signature to one document. Mr Clayton told them that ho was the cause of the erection of the railway workshops, whereas they all knew that to Mr Tola credit was due, if it was a ciedit. Ho denied that the existence of these work shops in our midst was an advantage, and thought they should have been erected be yond fillers-lie. Mr Clayton took credit for erecting the Wesleyan Church hero. That might be so, but he was informed by the members of that body that whenever a col loction was taken up ho was absent It was a wonder that Mr Clayton did not take somo credit to himself for the erection of thoftewmarkefc Hall, as ho had subscribed xo towards it, on the condition that he was made a life member, and asked the trusteeß to take out his subscription in scoria ash which was done. (Laughter.) He was ac cused by Mr McColl of taking too much on to vis own shoulders, and not consulting the members of the Hoard ; the cole reason being that on one occasion be had deputa tionised the Minuter for Public Works with Mr Moes, he not being able to get any other members of the Board to go with him. Messrs Clayton and McColl declined to bo and he could not find Mr Keetley. At that deputation, however, he succeeded in getting £700 spent on a water supply for the railway workshops. Referring to the reserve, lie said ho believed that a revenue of £350 per annnm could be obtained from it if used as a market This would pay the interest on money it would bo necessary to borrow without increasing the rates. Were the market established here instead of at Durham street, branches or the banks would be established, and the value of property would be increased. He then referred lengthily to an address to the burgesses issued by Mr J. McColl. Ho thought it bad taste of Mr McColl and Mr Olayton in opposing him, as he had been at great trouble and oxponso in bringing about the formation of the municipality, in conclusion, he mentioned that if elected, he would only occupy the seat in tho mayoral chair for four months, and 1 c promised, if elected, that ho would not dis grace them. f^lr Go° r-?° Bisho P moved a vote of thanks to Mr Smter for his past services, and a Pledge to support his candidature. He deprecated McColl's candidature, as it *ould perhaps allow Clayton to slip in. and he would regard that as a calamity. Mr Keetley, who seconded, eaid that surprise had been expressed that he, a teetotaller, shouldjaupport Mr Suiter, a brewer. He supported him because

Having witnossod nn exhibit of your "Climax Hand Fire Grkkaub" and its efVoctivo work, I elieerfully give it tho recommendation of being tho moßt efficient 1 iro Extinguisher and comrLKTK Hand Grenade that I liavo ovor scon. With tho Climax there is no clangor of it not bracking when tin-own into the iiro, as tho cartndgo novor fails to break tho bottlo.

Wishing you success, lam very rospoctfully yours, Capt. RC. Guest. The following lettor slioww tho great valuo of tho Climax Fihe Bxtinouishkh in time of need : — Martinez, Cal., Dec. 25, 1884. Mb A. l'\ Spawn, Manatror of tho Climax Finn Extinguisher San Francisco. Dkak Sin,—At tho tiro which occurred nt my mothor's dwelling, your "Climax, ownod by Mr S. J. Bonnott, of this placo, was tho mouna of Baying tho property. Tho firo was iiotwoon tho studding about tho chimney. By putting the nozzle through a hole mado in tho wall tho "Climax " was put into oporation, and in a few seconds the firo was completely subdued. Thoro was no maans of getting to tho firo with water, and it was no doubt tho only thing that saved tJio proporty. Tho valuo of tho " Climax " as a tiro extinguisher can hardly bo estimated. Mr Bennett is deserving of great praiso for his promptitude in responding to tho " Call of Fire," and tho ollioiency with which ho applied tho " Climax ".to its propor uso.—Vory respectfully, Geo. A.
