The election. of Mayor Goodeve and the city council yesterday is a cause of congratulation to every friend of good government in Ross- land. The mayor went before the electors on his record for the past year and the renewal of his pledges for the year just opened, The peo- ple have re-elected him on this plat- form by a decisive majority and have elected men to co-operate with him as aldermen, the majority of whom are-in agreement with him on municipal affairs and who. are distinguished by unusual ability and public spirit. The election was tought out solely on the merits and fitness of the candidates, despite efforts to mix party and class prejudice with the real issues. The claim that Mr. Goodeve was the candidate of the Conservative party is proved baseless by the presence on his com-. mittee of aZnumber of active Liber- als and by the fact that Mr. Mc- pherson is also a Conservative. It was also claimed that Goodeve. was the candidate of the capitalists and McPherson of the workingmen. The election returns prove this false,for Ward 2, where there is the smallest proportion of workingmen, is the only one which gave Mc- Pherson 4 majority, and Ward 3, where there are most workingmen, gave Goodeve his largest majority. The mayor represents the whole city, without distinctionof party or class and the’ people voted for him because he is so thoroughly cepre- sentative. Everybody recognizes this except the sore-headed Miner, which has been consistent only in being contemptible and cowardly. It practically admits the validity of the objections to Mr. McPherson . Which have been published in the REcorD and theréby it convicts it- self of having been‘blinded to the public interest by the merest pre- tense of party prejudice. It goes further and tries to rob Mayor Good- eve of the credit of having won a decisive victory after a hard fight with the spoilsmen, who were bound together by the cohesive power of — public plunder. The did their best to defeat Mayor Goad- eve, These men: sacrificed.. their selt-respect and everything that an ordinary man holds dear to him to vent their spleen. | We might as well be quite frank and outspoken while we are on this subject and ex- press our ideas fearlessly, If noth- "| ing else prompts us to this course it is the hypocritical trash dished up by the Miner this morning. To be- gin with, we now know where the Miner's editor is and what his poli- tics are. We also know the true reason for his supporting Mr Mé- Pierson. The editor of the Miner is a Grit—not a Liberal but one of the Dr. Sinclair type of hide-bound Grits—the men that fought protec- tion for 18 years and then swallow- ed it; the men who were free traders and are now ardent protectionists; men that. will swallow. Tarte and Sifton, in fact swallow. anything for party reasons. Now, while there are such men in the Liberal ranks in Rossland, we are glad to saythat there are liberal Liberals also. The liberal Liberals supported’ Mayor Gooveve and failed to find any poli- tics in his candidature. It was left, therefore, to the Sinclairs, Forins and Martins.to smell out the, poli- tics. We are safe in saying, and. tion, that the only politics imported into the late mayoralty contest,. were brought into it by Dr. Sin- clair, Editor Kerr, Peter. McL. Forin, and William Martin. Mr. Goodeve had on his committee many good Liberals, and we are sure he is most, grateful to these gentlemen for their support. On our part, we admire them for their manliness in resisting the approach- es of the wily doctor. While pro- fessing friendship and support to Mr. Goodeve, Dr. Sinclair was going about like.a wolf in sheep's clothing. His favorite phrase was, ‘*ve must clip his wings, Goodeve is soaring too high.” Every Lib- eral supporting Goodeve was ap- proached and canvassed to see things in the light of party poli--} tics. How far this’ plotting and scheming and knifingwas carried is evidenced by the vote in Ward 2. The Grits in this ward polled their whole strength against Goodeve, hence McPherson's majority: Now we unhesitatingly deny that there was anything political in Mr Good- eve’s candidature, and we defy the Miner to prove the contrary. His opponent is a Conservative. We repeat the’ only. politics imparted into the campaign were brought in by Dr. Sinclair:and the other hide- bound Grits-we have named. To show the utter insincerity and hypocrisy of these men, we. cannot do better than refer to the Miner editorial, The Miner, says: ‘Mr. Goodeve has been mayor of the city standing in the.community, a man possessed of large interests and one who, so far as his personal charac- ter goes, has the unquestioned re- spect of all classes.” . And yet the Miner did not endorse the candida- ture.of Mr. Goodeve. Knowing Miner’s course has throughout shown the friends of good govern- ment that they need not reckon upon its support in any future con- test with the‘spoilsmen. that he pos: d_ these ..qualifica- tions and that he was eminently more fitted for the office than his opponent, the Miner pre- ferred subordinating the good of The Recorp claims no credit for having pursued the only course open to a newspaper, the success of which is bound up with the well-being and progress of Ross- land. The people may depend upon always finding. this journal on the side of good government and they may be sure that, when a clear is- sue is joined, it will not hesitate to declare itself and give the grounds on which, to take a decided position. It will not straddle the fence and snarl at both parties toa public controversy. —_—_ YESTERDAY'S LESSON. As we have said elsewhere, the result of the municipal contest yes- terday is,a. matter for congratula- tion all around, the most regret- table feature. being the defeat of Ross Thompson. This defeat of Mr. Thompson was occasioned by the number of plumpers that were polled for ‘Mackenzie. The same 1 tt who. plumped for Mack gie in Ward 2 plumped for’ Robin- the ity it is supposed’ to serve as a publicjournal to the party spleen of the editor. Mr. Goodeve is a conservative. That is enough in the eyes’ ot the Grit Miner editor, and the Sinclair ilk, to. damn him, ‘nothwithstanding his fitness for the office. Could there be greater hy- pocrisy? The city’s good could go to hades, morally and financially, for all these men cared, so long as they got their political knife into Govdeve.. We ask the Miner to state, openly and frankly, the why and the wherefore that occasioned the impression that Mr. Goodeve, “4n standing for the mayoralty, had in mind, another object than filling the position of chief magistrate.” If, outside of his own Grit clique, the editor of the Miner can find any one who harbored such thought we will reward him. The fact is, that the ideas expressed in the Miner editorial existed alone in the politically diseased brains of the clique he helongs to, We say there was no clique in this election except |- that to which the editor of the we say it without fear of contradic- | « one year; he is a merchant of high | ROSSLAND BVENING .GCORD, JANUARY ra, 1om, son in Ward 1. The sme Miner belongel, No politics were introduced or thought of except by this clique. This clique was ‘‘the public mind in which these ideas took root.” ‘It is to be regretted that party, politics were introduced. We have named the men who in- troduced them. Their machinations have failed; they have received a di- rect slap in the face. The election of Mr. Goodeve is a vindication of his private and public character and the fact that he has been elected by such a-handsome majority in’ spit2 of all the discreditable methods that were used against him is the. best answer that can be given to his slanderers and traducers. Further than this, it is a warning to the Grit clique who introduced party politics. into this campaign, that the people will not suffer dictation from party wire pullers.

Moving Machinery to the Mud Dyke in the’ Crosscut, The hoist, boiler and pumps of the Tamarac mine on Wild Horse creek, are being, moved from the mouth of the shaft to the head of the winze which has been sunk on the mud-dyke in a crosscut from the adit tunnel. This tunnel was driven from the surface to. procure ventila- tion and drainage, and it connects with the shaft at'a depth of 180 feet. Crosscuts were run from it at'two points to explore the adjoin- ing ground and developed a body of. ages about $15. * It is in one of these. crosscuts that the ore body. is cut: by a soft mud dyke, in which a winze has been sunk for 50 feet. Sinking goes on.at the.rate of four feet a day in this soft material and for this reason the machinery is being ce- moved fur use in going down It is the intention then to drift on the ore shoot its whole length, the belief being ‘that: its grade improves with depth.
