a SFEC1MEN CAUCUS
Those who attended the Republican
caucus for Worthington Village, on
Saturday evening last, saw:a good spec
linen or Ring caucus. It was all ar
ranged before hand in the interest Of +.
A. Town. J. A. called the caucus to
order, J. A. moved that the delegates
be voted for in a body and J. A. made
all the motions, except one or two
when, it we mistake not, s. f. Chand-
Ter nominated A. e. Robinson for some.
thing. j. A. moved also that the polls
be kept open one hour. There was not
a single nomination made, but those
who were willing to be run by the Ring
walked up, like sheep to the slaughter,
and voted a printed ticket all made up
before hand. A good many men left
in disgust and refused to vote at all.
Others made out full ticket for them
selves and Il few scratched the printed
ticket. When the vote was counted
and the Ring hangers-on saw that some
Of the tickets were scratched, they were
offended, grossly offended, sir, that any
man in Worthington would dare to
have the temerity to scratch a ticket
made up by J. A. Town and the Ring.
But as they didn't know who to lay
hold of there was no blood-shed, and
they inwarlly resolved that they would
take out their spite in bulidozing the
ADVANCE.
The Ring ticket having been voted
through, the next business was the Sc
lection Of village committee. j. A.
Town, or some one to whom he sug-
gested it, nominated J. A. Town, and
it was done. S. E. Chandler, we be-
lieye it was, nominated A. g. Robinson
for the 9,999th time. And Robinson
was put on the committee.
Then Daniel Rohrer, controlling ed
itor of the Ring organ, clapped his
hands and cried out, "Good-by, Colony
Ringl''
And this is the way caucuses and
Conventions are now, always have been
and always will he, managed by the
Ring.
