ReDubiicnn Caucus in Milford.

In response to a call to the republican voters
of Milford, a large number Of our citizens as
sembled in the town hall, this evening, to elect
delegates to the several conventions. The meet
ing was called to order by Bainbridge Hayward,
chairman of the republican town committee.
After the call was read, T. G. Kent, Esq, offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, that all persons who will agree not
to vote in opposition to the republican state
ticket TO be nominated at Worcester, Sept. 9th,
and who have not voted in opposition to the re-
publican state ticket for the last two years, shall
be entitled TO vote; and no other persons shall
take part in this meeting.
Thereupon a discussion ensued, which lasted
more than an hour aud half, and the resolu-
ton was voted down. 1t was freely admitted
that more than an hundred persons present
would be prevented from acting in the caucus,
if the resolution should be adopted. Speaking
within bounds, one-sixth of the persons present
were recognized democrats, and at least one
third labor reiormers; and large number were
those who voted against the republican nominal
tiOns last year and in favor of Phillips 1t was
openly asserted by G. W. Stacy, the sell-consti-
tuted leader of the political odds and ends who
had taken possession of the hall, that he would
vote for Butler, whoever might be nominated
at Worcester on the 9th.
As soon as it was ascertained that the caucus
was packed by a majority of persons not repub-
Leans, the chairman of the town committee,
Mr.. Hayward, called upon all republicans with
in the meaning OF the resolution stated above,
| to adjourn to Irving hall, which was promptly
| done. In pursuance to this request the repub-
Hcaus of Milford who were in favor of the origi-
nal resolution offered at the town hall, upon its
rejection retired TO Irving hall, and were called
to order by cambridge Hayward, chairman of
the republican town committee. The original
resolution referred to above was then passed by
chosen chairman and 5. c. Sumner secretary OF
said meeting. The following persons were chos-
en- delegates TO the state convention:
A. C. Mayhem, cambridge Hayward, T. G.
Kent, II. Z. Fales, VIM. F. Draper
We understand, that, after the republicans
had left the town hall, meeting was organized
by those remaining, and a list of delegates elect
ed who were in favor of Gen. Butler Previous
to adjournment the republican caucus voted
that the secretary request the Hon. A. G. May
hew to indorse the doings of the meeting as the
regular caucus of the republican voters of Mil
ford. Mr.. Mayhem is one of our most reliable
and stauuch republicans, and was one of the
large number who adjourned to Irving hall, and
it is needless 10 state how he will answer the re-
| quest.

We count the five anl-Butler delegates from
Milford, because they were elected by the regu-

*Of this number eight only were killed in the
cars.
OF this almost Incredible number of passen-
gers transported in the cars, more than five
times the whole population of the United States,
eight only have beecn killed inside the cars,
less than one in each year. OF the other eight
hundred and ninety-two fatal casualties a large
number occurred to persons passing from one
car to another, attempting TO enter or leave the
cars while in motion, or walking upon the
track, in violation of law. That the safety of
passengers has on the whole been well and sue
cessfully cared for by the managers of the roads,
these figures seem to prove. 1t is curious, but
perhaps not specially significant, that for the
five years ending with 1865 the per-
centage Of fatal accidents to the whole
number of passengers slowly increased,
and for the next four years gradually dmn-
ished, while for the ten months embraced in the
last annual report, the increase over the preced-
Ing year was very Marked the number of casu-
altes being thirty-fve per cent greater, though
the number of passengers was about twelve per
cent less. In 1860, the number killed was, to
the whole number transported, as / TO 234, 439 !;
in 1866, the ratio was / to 191 BOP; in 1869, it
had reached the low rate of to 299 1928; and in
1870, it suddenly rose to l to 1874, 657. For the
year now closing, with the Revere victims to be
counted, the ratio will not probably he less,
very likely greater, than for the last If these
figures have any significance, they mean that
railroad management in this state has been
much less successful in providing for the safety
of passengers during the last two years than

The general horror and anxiety caused by the
late 6irhtful slaughter at Revere, and the dis
nosition which it provoked, to require Of all
railroad managers a strict performance of their
dutv to omit no precaution TO insure the safety
of the lives entrusted to their care are only rca-
sonable and proper. The management under
which such disasters are possible will GER
tainly bear to be scrutinzed, and prob
ably can be improved in some respects.
1t appears to be true that fewer fatal
accidents to passengers occur on railroads
in Massachusetts in proportion to the whole
number carried than on those of European
countries whose railroad administration is gen.
orally supposed TO be more thoroughly exact and
systematic than cur own. This fact is gratifying
so far, and crcditable to our railroad managers
who, we have reason to believe, are, with few
exceptions, careful, vigilant and consci-
entious in their duty to their stockholders,
and not regardless of the welfare of in
terests of the public. sill the resources OF hu-
man ingenuity are not yet exhausted, and ii is
possible thar valuable devices, to secure great
er degree of safety to railroad travellers, already
exist, but are not brought into use, and that

The public has right to require that those to
whom these immensely lucrative franchises
have been granted, should be constantly on the
alert to inform themselves of every improve
ment in the manner of conducting their bust
ness, in which the whole people have such
great interest, to test thoroughly and without
prejudice, such as are at all promising, and to
make use of all which give reasonable assur-
ance Of increased security to life. Absolute Sc
curity is unattainabIe, but it is possible to APP
proach it more nearly than they have yet sue
ceeded in doing.
1t is common to hear after every great railroad
disaster frequent illusions, half serious and
half grimly jocular, to the dangers of railroad
travel. 1t is natural for an unreaecting person.
with such an occurrence fresh in his mind, to
imagine that these perls are considerable. The
following figures, compiled from the annual off,
cial returns of the Massachusetts railroads, will
show that the proportion of fatal casualties to the
number of passengers is astonishingly small

carried on the cars Of the several railroads in

Mr.. WAsHBuRN FOR GovERNoR-The fol-
lowing letter addressed to the editors Of the
Boston Journal was published last evening,
The letter of Mr. Hoar, referred TO by Mr.
Allen, is that which we published few days
ago:
Some persons appear to be taking pains to
spread abroad the impression that the friends of
Mr.. Washburn in western Massachusetts are
not in earnest in pressing for his nomination for
governor, and do not intend TO adhere to him
strongly. This is an entire mistake. The
friends of Mr.. Washburn win press for
his nomination Just so far as may be
common cause. They believe him TO be the
best man now before the public for the office
and that he combines more elements OF success
in the approaching contest than any other. The
only suggestion made against him is that he is
so useful in congress that he ought TO remain
there. The people of his district had some
natural reluctance to spare him from congress,
but they appreciate that the need of the state is
greater than their own need, and have made up
their minds to nominate him for governor,
if possible. 1t is very good argu-
ment in his favor, when all that
has been or can be said against him is that he is
exceedingly useful IN congress. The republic
cans of western Massachusetts know that the
more Mr.. WashburnS merits are investigated
the higher he Will stand as a candidate. They
are almost unanimous IN MS laNOr- Inc uele-
gates from all of the western counties will go
for him almost to a man. Some have repre-
sented that Mr.. Dawes and his friends are not
cordially supporting him. The very contrary is
true The writer of this has letter from Mr..
Dawes expressing the most hearty interest in
Mr.. Washbun's success; and it is within my
that he has written numerous such
letters to gentlemen in various parts of his DIS
trict. Wherever the strongly expressed wishes
of MIR, Dawes will have weight Mr. WaShburn
will be supported. The opinion of Mr.. Hoar of
Worcester, another of Mr.. Washburn's col
leagues in congress, is also shown in the follow
ing letter from him, in which some of Mr.. Wash
burns qualities are set forth with singular fe-
licity ofeXpreSsiOn. CHARLES ALLEN.
