Repre.en.a.ire Nomina.ion..

The Republican caucusss ia the several Rep
resentative Districts of this city were held on
Saturday evening and notwithstanding the Sc
verify Of the storm, THE PEOPLE we're there in
full force, prepared to indicate their will and to
cause it to be respected This demonstration was
very significant, inasmuch as it has proved
what some had begun to doubt-that intelligencs,
elsracter, consistency, integrity, and fidelity,
have not become disquaihcatisns for Office in the
view OF the people of Worcester, and that, what.
ever temporary success may attend the combina.
tions Of individuals to pervert the organization Of
the party to their own selfish purposes, there is
too much intelligence in the community, TO al.
low Of the permanent triumph of any such
scheme.
The nominations were OF character that in.

Tolman, Esq, is nominated, and will be elected
Mr.. Tolman is man of ability and integrity, a
well informed practical working mechanic; one,

tion for office and who has not the bad taste to
make parade of his occupation every time he
speaks in public Mr. Tolman has twice repre-
sented the city in the Legislature with credit to
himself and advantage to the public. He is a

and no man ever has doubts where to find him.
