Cork Correspondence: The municipal munici-pal campaign has reached the opening stage, and from this to the polling day, on the 16th of January next, we are sure to have a busy time. The situation situ-ation here with regard to these elections elec-tions is unique in so far as this is the one city in Ireland, perhaps in the kingdom, where five distinct parties are to be found appealing for the suffrages suf-frages of the electors. We have here the nationalist, labor, conservative and commercial parties, and the fifth party consists of those who decline to go under un-der the wing of any party, and who seek election on their own personal merits. It will therefore be observed that in the matter of candidates wo will not be at all short, and the citizens citi-zens will have a charming variety from which they can select their representatives. representa-tives. The labor party have already put their nominees in the field, and appear ap-pear confident as to the result. Th3 nationalists are not letting the grass grow under their feet, and they have chosen their candidates for two of the seven wards of the city, viz.. Northwest North-west and Northeast wards. It need scarcely be said that they propose to contest every ward, and they are hopeful hope-ful of winning a substantial number of the seats. There will be in all forty -nine vacancies, and of these the nationalists nation-alists are certain to capture a good majority if they only succeed in out-ting out-ting forward men whose nationality and influence are recognized and esteemed. es-teemed. The other parties mentioned above are at present fishing for candidates. candi-dates. By the death of Mr. N. W. Keller, solicitor, Kanturk. the North Cork division di-vision has lost one of its best nationalists. nation-alists. Of the deceased gentleman it can be truly said that he was an unswerving un-swerving and consistent nationalist. During the hot days of coercion, ind this district got plenty of it, Mr. Keller Kel-ler played no unimportant part on the side of the people, and many occasions could be recalled when he defended the sturdy campaigners of North Cork vith striking skill and ability. |
