ST. ALBANs.-The Transcript speaks
Of the annual town meeting in st. Adams
as follows:
The old board of Selectmen. consisting
of Victor Atwood, Daniel r. Potter and
S. II. Boynton, were reelected, but not
without considerable opposition. The
contest was, however, principally on the
election OF Mr.. Atwood. Opposed to him
was Mr. A. o. Brainerd, who was plainly
and strongly favored by gentlemen con-
nected with the Railroad. We were sor-
ry to see the issue made, for there was no
occasion for it, and the stories gotten up
and industriously circulated that the
ticket on which Mr.. Atwood's name was
placed, was copperhead ticket, had no
foundation in truth. The old board of
Selectmen have given pretty general salts
faction, and we are free to say that the
best interests of the town will not be jeop-
ardized by their reelection. On the
other hand we are equally free to say that
such rows as that on town meeting day
are not creditable, gotten up by whomso-
ever thew may be-
