THE KLFCTORS OF THE CITY OF CHILLIWACK, Ladies and Gcntleme: I wish to state briefly the reasons for my withdrawal from the Alder manic contest: After the withdrawal of Alderman Barber, it left but six candidates for five vacancies and as there was neither a moral prin ciple or any great economic issue involved, it seemed absuru mac six en should engage in a contest ior five seats, especially as the Mayor, School Trustees and Police Commissioners had all been elected by ac clamation, and that the logical course was for one more candidate to drop out, and allow the other five to take the seats, tnereny sarins the city the expense of an eles Uon.

And concluding further that under the ci.cumstances, the Interests of the city would not thereby be adversely affected, 1 accoraiuB'y from the contest.
