WEDNESDAY EVENINGS CAUCUS


The call for a meeting at Academy hall
Wednesday evening, for the alleged purpose
OF nominating "a suitable person as candi-
date for town representative. WA not largely
responded to, and nobody WAS nominated.
Only about 20 persons were present of whom
but three or four were from the cast part OF
the town, and if any person present knew
for what particular object tho meeting was
called he did not make it manifest. Rev.
Lewis Grout called the meeting to order and
assumed the leading part in its direction.
Upon his motion Prof. II. IL. Shaw was
chosen chairman, and ID. b. Stedman secre-
taryi aud he then moved that the business of
the meeting be left in tho hands OF a CON-
mittee of five TO report at an adjourned
meeting TO be held at the Same place on Sat
urday evening, Aug. 30, at half past o'clock.
After some scattering remarks from Mr.. w.
ii. Alexander, this motion was carried and
the chairman named as such committee
Messrs. ?. F. Perry, Dwight Goodenough,
Jared Holbrook, L. D. Thayer and Henry
Clark. motion for adjournment was then
carried. It is generally understood that the
purpose OF those who have this movement in
charge is TO endeavor to elect somebody to
the legislature who will favor the repeal of
the present law which permits towns to bond
in aid Of railroads, with the special purpose
of putting final quietus upon the Brattle-
boro and bennington railroad project.

Ben Butler has this week made public q
very long and decidedly breezy lottor accept
lug the Greenback Labor and Anti Monopo-
list nominations for the presidency. The
lettor deals with large variety Of topics,
and inevitably reminds one Of the general 8
own description of himself us being like a
widow, because he knew what he wanted and
was not afraid to ask for it. In his address
his characteristic impudonce never deserts
him. With the skill Of a pettifogger, and
tho audacity which is peculiarly his own, he
assails the record Of both great parties and
points to himself with both hands as the
Moses who is to lead the laboring man out of
the Egypt of monopoly into the promised
land Of Greenbackery. His plan, in brief,
is fusion everywhere with the supposed mi.
nority, on the understanding that If the fu.
sion ticket prevails, the electoral vote of the
state shall be divided between him and his
allied candidate in that state in the ratio OF
their respective votes at the polls-a plan
which no one knows better than Butler il
imprncticable.

In his speech at Drattleboro last Tuesday
evening Hon G. Is. Eddy of Bellows Falls
frankly told his audience that when Mr.. Blaine
wasnomipatedfort the presidency he had grave
doubts whether he could support him, and he
also told how he had come to be q firm be-
lever in MIR. Blaine lie said that q friend
begged Of him, before he should declare him
self against tho ticket, to take oil the evil
denoe, sift ii as in case on trial, and SEQ
what conclusion he came to. Mr.. Eddy did
this lie spent several days in going over
everything which the congressional inyesti-
cation brought out-tho Mulligan letters and
the Littlo Rock ~ Fort Smith railroad trans
action included, he examined MIR. BlRine's
whole record and every attainable scrap Of
evidence, he tried. It as though he was the
referee in on important case and the result
was that he became thoroughly convinced, in
spite Of his prejudices, that James G.. Blaine
is an honest man, and that the attacks op his
character arose solely from Democratic Ia
tired Of him. So strongly did he feel this, Mr.
Eddy said, that no would be willing to take
- honest, intelligent Democrats for a jury,
and present the whole case to them with full
assurance that their verdict would complete.

man of Mr.. Eddy's we'll known ability and
candor, this testimony ought to havo great
weight with every candid, Independent mind.

to such convention should il be held
The following resolutions were adopted
Re.olrsd That Whilo Wa recall with nr1e tbe pIor
Mr.. scMnIl,a LeIter.

When Rev. ]. L. SowalIs open letter to
the Brattleboro Independents reached us we
had pencil in hand to state the reasons why
the course of those who call themselves indie
pendents in this campaign seems to us unwise
and likely to be productive of positive mis-.
chief and of no tangible good. But the let
ter rendered any such work on our part un-
necessary. 1t covers the whole ground. It
is conceived in absolute good temper, and
shows the same sympathy with the underly.
ing feeling of the Independents which we
ourselves entertain. We regard it as one OF
the brightest strongest and most readable
campaign documents of the season. As such
