ABERDARE URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTIONS. Of the four wards in Aberdare a contest will only take place in No. 2, where there are two candidates nominated, viz., Mr. Griffith George, J.P., and Mr. D.Tudor Williams. Mr. George is the retiring member, and is the nominee of the Liberal and Labour Association. Meetings are being held in all parts of the ward, and by the end of the week everything will be in full swing. In No. 1 Ward the retiring member, Mr. Owen Harris, grocer, was the only one nominated, and he is, therefore, declared elected. Three candidates had been no ninated for No. 3, or Town Ward, viz., Mr. J. W. Evans, solicitor Mr. Thomas Thomas, Graig House and Mr. Lewis Noah Williams, lamp manufacturer. Mr. Evans and Mr. Thomas have withdrawn, and Mr. Williams has been declared elected. He is at present the High Constable of the town. No one w;\s nominated to oppose Mr. John Howell, Aberaman, the retiring member in No. 4 Ward and he will, therefore, retain his seat on the Council for another three years. A meeting of Mr. Tudor Williams' supporters was held on Tuesday evening at the Election-rooms in Whitcombe-street. There was a large number pre- sent. The chair was occupied by Mr. E. Shaw, Glan-road, who, after a few introductory remarks, called upon the candidate.—Mr. Tudor VVilliams at the outset dealt with the charges which appear in this week's Tarinn. Having replied to them, he summed them up as a tissue of falsehoods. With reference to the taxation of royalties which his opponent made a great deal of, he said it was an old thing so far as he was concerned. He had been in favour of it for many years, and about 12 months ago he voted in favour of the resolution at the Board of Guardians. He thought it was a shame that in a town like Aberdare, having such a large population, there was not a free library. If he was returned he would do his utmost to have onr,and that as soon as possible. He had been charged that he was not a Lilieral as he had stated in his election address. He would very easily satisfy them upon that. Last election he sup- ported Mr. Pritchard Morgan, and he at the present time held a trophy from that gentleman in recogni- tion of the services rendered by him. In conclusion, he asked them to remember him on the election day. -The committee brought in their canvassing books with favourable results. -An unanimous vote of con- fidence was passed in Mr. Tudor Wuliams.—Mr. J. D. riavies, suttvf pv.j meetinir hrtanv. An enthusiastic meeting in support of Mr. G. George's candidature was held on Monday night last, at Salem Vestry, Robertstovvn. The chair was taken by Rev. J. D. Rees.—Mr. G. George, who was well received, said the promises he had made to them 12 months ago he had endeavoured to fulfil He thought that during the last 12 months No. 2 Ward had had their proportion of the rates. His opponent, Mr. Williams, stated in his address that he was a Liberal. He had known Mr. Williams for a, good number of years, and had never known him to be a Liberal.—Mr. Walker having addressed the meet- ing, urging those present to support Mr. George, a unanimous vote of confidence was carried, and the meeting terminated.
