 I have always declined using your valuable space for political purposes, but feel inclined to say few words just now. Since "Floe" has given vent SC forcibly to his wrath and takes on SC furiously that I am alarmed at his con- dition, my friendly advice to him, as well as to several other Republicans here, is to apply at once to Dr. Cham plain, of Otis. Mass, who IS extremely skillful in that peculiar disease. We were told many things last week that were truly new and of deep interest te many of us. But if MT. Crissey is proud of his popularity in town, I am sure nc one envies him his friends. MT. Sey mour and his numerous friends will doubtless live out their appointed time, at least this is the calculation now, un- less some of the ring leaders rise III and smite us out of existance-a deed, judging from their long faces election day, they would have liked to accom- plish. Though decidedly doubtful, can say most truthfully to ''F1oe" tha the less he stirs up the Republican camp here, the less disgusting odor he vii get. The returns show that the party has made themselves equally obnoxious all through the country. It is no simply personal feeling and jealousy but our situation can best be described by the following clipping from lead ing republican journal in the southern part of the state. It says: ''In place like this, where the nomination of ont of their number for any office is equiv alent to an election, where any ma1 they put up for any place is sure to win however unfit for the place he may be the rule of rotation in office should pre- vail. They say that when Q man ha been sent to the Legislature once h. should not want the honor again, no should the party allow him to have until all others who are willing to talk the position have been similarly honor ed They say that their party leader in their selfishness are wholly unmind full of the practice of rotation in office which they have been brought up t.
 believe is cardinal principle of thei party, and that the nominations are de cided upon by half dozen who have n
 more right to dictate to the party tha others have. AUREvOIR MILTON.
