inindedness happened at our late town
meeting. The subject was the republican
nominee for supervisor, who, Otis report
ed voted for, and favored the opposite
ticket instead of using his influence in
favor of the party that had houored him
with place at the head of their ticket.
and the party to which he claimed allegi.
ance. The unfortunate gentleman had
no opposition or he certainly would have

dcnce of the republican party Of our town
towards the gentleman referred too

omething to do with their death.
