There was only one booth, which was situated in the council chamber, th,. presiding officer being Mr H. L. Evans, with Mr Charles Massey as poll clerk. Mr W. H. Palmer, mayor, acted as returning officer with Mr A. J. Hughes, town clerk, and Mr Davies as Mayor's clerk. The candidates seeking election were Mr John James, the retiring member, and Mr W. H. Wemysg, who sought the vote of theratepayera for the first time. The polling opened at eight in the morning, and re- mained open urtil the same hour in the evening, but the polling up to mid-day was very scarce, the bulk turning up after four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr William Edwards, mason, and Mr James Minton. auctioneer's elerk, acted as personating agents for Mr James and Mr Wemyss respectively. The Mayor baving declared the poll closed at eight o'clock the formalities prior to the counting were immediately attended to, and in the course of some twenty-five minuteBthe result was ascertained. The officials then adjourned to the large hall to declare the result of the poll, the public in the meantime being allowed admittaace. The Mayor declared the result of the poll as under- Mr John James 141 Mr W. H. Wemyss 129 Majority 12 I He then formally declared Mr John James, duly elected as a County Councillor for Division 3, amid loud applause. Mr James then stepped forward to thank the electors for the honour they had done him. and in the course of his remarks he said he thanked them very much for the honour they had done him by again electing him as their representative for the ensuing three years. Hehf-dtriedto do his duties in the past, and would continue to do so in the future, and he promised them that he would look after the interests of their town as well as he possibly could. With those few remarks he again begged to thank them for electing him as their representative (applause). Mr Wemyes on appearing' before the crowd was received with tremendous cheering. He said he was extremely obliged to his brother electors for the kind way they had rallied round him and supported him that day (applause). He had never offered himself for election before, and be was perfectly contented with the way they had supported him, especially when fighting a, man of great popularity, in fact one of the most popular men in Cardiganshire. He thought he had polled exceedingly well, only being' beaten by the small majority of twelve votes, and he could see that in the near future he would become one of their public servants. He could see something looming in the distance (loud cheering). By the poll that day he could see that such was the case, and he could assure them that he felt proud of it. This was the first time that be offered himself, and he really did not expect to receive the support which he had had that day. He again thanked them for the generous support they had given Mr James and him- self, and he hoped ere long to have the pleasure of appearing before them again (applause). Mr James, in propesing a vote of thanks to the returning officer (Mr W. H. Palmer, mayor), said that he did not think they should part without pass- ing a hearty vote of thanks to the Mayor for the very able way that he had conducted the election that day, and also to the Town Clerk, both of whom performed their duties in a fair and honourable way. He did not think it was possible for any persons to have discharged the duties in a more creditable manner. With regard to the Town Clerk, bethought he could justly say that no town could wish for a better man than their Mr Hughes (hear, hear). He had rendered every service he possibly could to all of them, and with those remarks he begged to move a hearty vote of thanks to the Mayor and Town Clerk for the way they had oonducted the election. Mr Wemyss briefly seconded the vote, which was carried unanimously. The Mayor, in acknowledging the compliment, said he thanked them for the vote, but at the same time he thought be must say that Mr A. J. Hughes did the work.
