be seen, by reference to the notice of the
town officers elected in Montpelier yester-
day, that l.. Bart Cross was chosen by a vote
of 1877 to l4l for A. l.. Carlton. In justice
to all parties word of explanation may be
proper. At the temperance caucus Saturday
night. Clarence II. Pltkin was selected for
the office of town treasurer, by the commit
tee Of thirteen appointed to present nomina-
tiOns. This same committee was subsequent
ly authorized to fill any vacancies occurring
in the ticket. Monday Mr.. Pitkin declined
to have his name used for the proposed office

filling the vacancy. 1t is understood that
the thirteen were divided, majority think
ing it impossible to nominate a man that
could make a successful run against Mr.
Cross, who has proved himsel: most accept
able and competent treasurer, and has about
him probably more elements of personal
popularity than are common to men in this
community. Tuesday morning few friends
of Mr.. Carlton, without his knowledge or
coneent, procured votes printed for him

town meeting Tuesday, Mr.. Cross was nom
mated by Samuel Wells, E g., and the nom

A. c. Brown, and the unexpectedly large
vote it called forth must be taken as an ev-
dence of the esteem and confidence with
which Mr.. Carlton is here regarded, or OF
the deepseated hold the temperance move
ment has secured in the heart, of the voters
of the town
