mayoral

Relating to a mayor (or the office of the mayor).

The mayoral seal was applied to all official correspondence of the mayor.

Let’s have a quick recap of some of Han’s more rational campaign pledges during last year's mayoral campaign to see how he has performed in his current position. We will leave aside things like building a Disneyland, drilling for oil off the Taiping Islands, constructing an F1 circuit, and turning Qijin Island into Taiwan’s Las Vegas — after all, these sorts of things take time to deliver.

A Spanish-speaking overseer of a bull ranch.

A thrust of the lance, and the mayoral says bullring or slaughterhouse.

The mayoral was dressed in much the same fashion as the other men but instead of a lance he carried a short braided quirt to emphasize his almost feudal authority. As overseer of the ranch, his commands were limited to monosyllables; more frequently, he merely gestured with the quirt.

A Spanish-speaking overseer of an estate’s slaves.

The mayoral who oversees the band, / Before me now is standing, whip in hand, / The straw-hat slouching o’er his olive face, / Sturdy in figure, active in his pace; / Nor coat nor waistcoat incommode his breast.

All mayorals of this country, wear a sword about four feet long; and ride about the estate on horse back. […] The counter mayorals are only allowed a whip. They, too, as soon as promoted, with whip in hand assume a bearing and deportment towards their fellows that are cruel and sometimes barbarous; always singing out at the top of their voice. ‘Apresuran! Apresuran!’ (hasten, hasten,) and afterwards laying the whip on the backs of those that do not work as they think they ought.

A surname.
