MR. SPURDLE'S TRUMPETER.

jWe do not suppose tljafc 1/ir | Spurdle holds a certain newspaper on the same terms that : Mt Tasker , reckoned he did, but we do know that the kind of trumpeting he is getting is likely, to damage his chances of being elected to the vacant .gee^fc pn the Education Board. Mr Spurdle Jifus jb claim to the seat, in tbat ho seekd tcj rep^sent the town oa tfce Board, bnt his cb^tiQeg mil certainly not b,e jLmprayed by jfche levelling of insults afc aij the members of the body be seeks to, joinOnly a week, or two ago* the committeees throughout the length and breadth of the education district returned three old and tried members jto jtjje Board, an4 rejected the only new 'jca#4idate who was brought forward; and • jnefc now, with a fatuousness that invites /j^feat, the committees are invited to vote for Mr Spurdle because he represents "new blood." They are told that they " would be doing a very un{fffse thing if they neglected the pyesep^ pnportunity of infusing some bacfiy ya^tp^ new blood into the Board, which ho^ to a great extent a happy family sort of affair, which badly wants reorganising." If. this is the false, and stupid, and boastful line on which Mr Spurdle seeks to ,a.unport his candidature, then wa tiope fee may 'be rejected. If it is not— as we'baJieyp it is not — then we hope he wil) tafee p^opipt steps to repudiate it, bdfope it has tjm? pq do him much harm.
