LOOK TO THE PRIMARIES.


To the Editor of the Free Press;
Please allow me word of warning
through the columns Of your paper to the
republicans of Chittenden county.
AS the time for the state and county
conventions draws near we are again re
minded of the necessity of looking sharp
to the make up of the primary meetings
not only to the sOuudness of the delegates
as to their being good Edmunds men, but
also to the way in which they are elected.
We all understand perfectly well that the
disatfected republicans who are seeking
his defeat are relying largely upon the
democrats to aid them in their uefarious
work. | do not know how it may be in
other towns but here in WillistOn, demo-
Gratis have been allowed to vote in our
primary meetings, and not only so, but in
more than one instance within the last
few years lave actually been sent as dele
gates to the county conventions. Now
tins, as 1t seems to me II all wrong and
especially SO IN this test year of loyalty to
the best Interests Of the republican party.
DO not care what any republican may
say, or think, in regard to the course of
senator Edmunds two years ago in NOT
taking the stump for Mr., Blame, any alli-
ance such as have referred to, to accom-
phsh his defeat Is treason To the IurtN
and il successfully carried out would be
an everlasting disgrace to the state and n
calamity to the whole nation.
can not, and Will not believe that the
republicans of Vermont Will be guilty of
any such folly.
But, as | sad before let us all look well
to the preliminary meetings, keeping
check list of voters and challenging every
man who offers to vote that is not known
to he Il genuine republican.
If we were going TO have funeral"
for heavens sake let it be all orr OlrH that
the disgrace of it may rest where it be
longs. But we aren't going to have any
this time sure. Yours truly,
f.. WHITNEY.

The republican convention of this cOun-
ty is called for Saturday, the seth inst
That convention will name the senators
for Chittenden county and one of the
most important public duties of those
senators will be to take part in the cleo
ton of a United States senator There
has been plenty of preliminary discussion
of the senatorial question. The time for
action is now at hand and the first place
Tor action Is the town caucus. Let the re-
puDllcans of each town see to ii that their
delegate represents HCH, and not some
clique or managing politician, who may
have purpose quite at variance with the
wishes of the majority. The senatorial
question Is now the one of chief interest,
and on this especially the republican
voters should take care that they are not
misrepresented. Let them attend the
primaries, and see that the rlght kind of
delegates are selected. 1t is no time to
entrust the interests of the party to trim
mers or undecided men, Pick out square
and trusty Edmuuds men, and instruct
them if you feel like it, The idea that it
l. III the slightest degree derogatOry to a
delegate, to be restricted by vote or reso-
luton, on important issues before the peo-
pie for settlement, is absurd. The dele
gates are chosen 10 execute the will of the
majority Of the voters, on such questions
as the voters commit to them and it is
perfectly proper and III accordance with
longtime precedent for the town caucuses
to indicate TO the delegates, and for the
county convention to Indicate to the can
dldates for the senate the wishes of the
people on such important matters as the
choice of a United States senator. Let
the republicans of Chittenden county look
after the primaries, and see that no sly
games are attempted, to defeat the will Of
the majority.

The Republican City Caucus.

The city caucus Tuesday was fairly
attended, and any larger attendance would
only have made its result more decisive.
The choice lay between two tickets,-one
prepared in the interest of Mr. Batchelder
for governor, and composed in part of ex-
cellent Republicans. committed to the
support of Mr.. Batchelder-and who are,
of course, perfectly entitled to their pre-
ference-and in smaller part Of excellent
Republicans who were not committed to
Mr.. Batchelder the other an "un.
pledged ticket" acceptable both to Mr..
Ormsbee's friends and those who as vet
have not declared any preference between
the two leading candidates acceptable
because composed OF square and trusty
men, who can be trusted to faith
fully represent the Republicans of
burllhgt0h IN the convention. The
latter ticket was elected by about two
TO one. Both tickets were composed with
scarcely an exception Of gentlemen favor
able TO the reelection of Senator Ed
munds, though that question only Incl
dentally entered into the canvass-the diff
ference between them, If there was any
on that score, being that the successful
ticket contained more names than
the other, OF men well known as earnest
ana prominent friends of the senator.
and no name of any man not known to be
IN entire harmony with the mass of the
Republicans of Burlington on that point.
me Republicans of this city evidently in
tend that no man shall represent them
| TINS year who is not known to be right ON
the senatorial question. An attempt to
carry the Batchelder ticket by means of n
counterfeit of the other ticket failed
and indeed, perhaps, helped the latter: for
the Republicans Of Burlington, as a rule
IKE square dealing, and do not intend to
help the side which resorts to tricks of
that sort.
1t should be said that the delegates on
the Batchelder ticket are not chargable
with any responsibility for the fraud. Ii

The Shermans gave their first open air
concert in the City Park Tuesday in the
presence of a large throng of people, who
occupied the walks through and on all
sides of the park. The band was in excel
lent play and the programme was sufli
GENTLY varied to show to the best advan-
tage the fine points of their taste and exc
cution. All the selections were rendered
with admirable taste, but "a Hunting
Scene" was the gem of the evening. In
this number are faithfully depicted the
preparations for the chase and afterward
| the varied scenes on the trail. One hears
the baying of the hounds and the CHATTER
of the horses hoofs and then again the
| huntsmen break forth in song. The vocal
as we'll as the instrumental parts were
well taken and the piece evoked the heart
lest applause. The Shermans are con
stantly improving and some fine music is
promised during the season.
There was very pleasant strawberry
supper and musical and literary enter
tainnent at Odd Fellows hall, Thursday
night, given by Hamilton Lodge, No. H.,
The attendance was large, the refresh
ments elegant and very gracefully served,
and the musical and literary programme
was highly enjoyable. In the musical
programme some of our best local talent
was represented, including Miss Castle.
Mrs. Sibley, Messrs. Shaw and Rose, Mr..
H. f. Nye, the accomplished violinist, and
Prof c. w. Davis, accompanies Mr.. w.
H. Hopkins read some delightful selec-
tions in his most pleasing manner. Among
the finest numbers on the musical pro
gramme were the opening quartette,
stars are in the Quiet Skies the duet,
"Maying," by Miss Castle and Mr.. Shaw,
Mr. Nye's violin solo and duet with piano,
Mr.. DAVIS, pianist, and Miss Castles solo,
"Within a Mile of Edinburgh" Messrs.
Shaw and Rose also sang solos which
were warmly applauded. The occasion
was avery pleasant one for all present.

THE U. v. MS AT PLATTsBURGH.
They are Defeated by Score OF Twenty.
one to Nine,

The L. V. VI. nine went to Plattsburgh
Wednesday and suffered defeat to the tune
OF - 10 ., but ii by no means DISCOURAGED
the boys. Draper won the toss and sent
his men to the bat. Whalen waited Tor
oalls, got ms base, stole second. also third
by a beautiful slide, and came home on a
muifed ball by the third baseman. The
SIDE was then quickly put out and the
Plaltsburghs went To bat and scored
but one run and things began to
look interesting. After the second
inning the PlattsOurghs began to
nhd Johnson and had it not been for
good ueldlng would have scored many
runs. This fact may be attributed TO an
accident that happened when Hackett
TOOK me bht IN the first inning. The Platts-
bIrgh pitcher threw sharp n-shoot
winch Hackett struck at, but he mis-
Judged it, and il hit him on the hand al
most disabling him. He continued, how
ever, and caught till the sixth inning
when Morgan relieved him. In conse,
quence of this accident johnson
could not pitch with his accus-
toned effectiveness when Hackett
was close to the bat. The college team
played with less fielding errors than the
nome cluD, ms may be seen by the score.
ana II earned more runs off Campbell than
any team that has faced him this season.
W halen distinguished himself by his fine
playing as usual making a number of
brilliant catches. Halves also caught a
difficult fly in the left field 1t is claimed
that the umplring of DR. browne was par
tai and that by his decisions he gave
the Plattsburghs at least seven scores and a
numberof Plattsburghers admitted IT, III
but falr to say that the umpire apparently
meant to be'fair, but he is SO near sighted
that he is unable TO fill the position. The
boys say when the Plattsburgh bows come
to Burlington the people may look for the
most exciting game of ball that they have
yet seen.
