4 Republican Riot.
rHE RIpGEwAY CAUCUS.

RIDGEwAY, Sept ia wild caucus
was held ST Jennieton, Saturday after
noon. Preceding the calling to order of
the caucus, a tumultuous, riotous and
vltuperative combat snsued between the
Hazelton clique and anti Hazelton. 1t
was charged by Hon. ex-senator Camp
bell that the Hon. Geo. C. Hazelton
had his agents and pap suckers travel
ing under pay though the township at
least month ahead, working up a
boom in his own interest, and that it
was evident that the caucus was going
10 be a packed concern IN Georges
favor. 1t was also charged by Mr..
: Campbell that Geo. c. had hired
agents to induce parties in the towns of
Moscow and Wsldwick, TO call secret
caucuses in ont of the way places
without notices, and thus get solid dele
cations for himself 1t was also charged
that one party i'll Waldwick got SO for
his time in attending the caucus. Mr..
Campbell asserted that he could
substantiate his charges with positive
| proof. After the caucus was called to
order by Mr.. Campbell, chairman Of
the republican town committee, he
openly declared and took cath before
God and high heaven, that an agent of
Geo. c. Hazelton's had come to him
and offered him clerkShip in the
census office, AT 81 400 per year, or if
he did not want il himself, for his son
or any friend he might name, the
same place, Mr.. Campbell said, that his
cockleeyed friend from Mitliin,
(Rewey) now enjoyed, all for his inilu-
ence in fixing mp the Ridgcway caucus
SO rs to get solid delegation for Ha-
zelton.
But Mr.. Campbell Indignantly re-
fused to accept the hrihe, and asserted
that not through his influence would
Geo. c. be nominated. He further de-
clared, and made oath to the same,
that on the morning of the 9th of
September, 1882, an agent Of Hazeton
came AS the sun was Just peeping over
the hills, and opened his pocket book,
offering to pay him cash down if he
would only use his influence TO corral
the grangers in this little caucus to be
held that day. Campbell admitted that
ON one condition he had promised $.
W. Reese, Of nadgevilic, TO support
Geo. C, and that was that they
should first have the editor of the
hronicie hanged by the neck until he
was dead.
Senator Metlert, from Arena, was
also i'll attendance. and 10 Poor In
diar, the mighty George c., himself,
was located i'll little country black
smith shop about forty rods away from
the caucus room, waiting TO get his
solid delegation which was, considering
the ribald jests and enthusiastic rah-
bic, voted him.
The caucus was very largely attend
Ell, and at the same time was one of
the most disgraceful meetings ever held
