THAT CAUCUS.
ga wounded bird always futters." Here is
also an adage of our own, The pinched cat
always spits and scratches. Our innocent
remarks about that caucus have elected much
90 huftering" and much venimous splttlng
and scratching from gentleman? who signs
himself " One of Town Committee, evidently
lacking the courage or manliness to sign ms
true name. He pronounces us either : 1901
or kTave." Of course he is the embodiment
of wisdom and virtue, or he would not hurl
insulting epitbets toward decent citizen for
an honest criticism stated in courteous Ian
guage. Now we dare not protest against TINS
| stigmatization for this gentleman? says We
| must be- and of course he can lie; yet we
submit we find ourselves in good company
! and plenty of it, as the following gentlemen
declare they had no intimatlon OF a caucus
| on July 5-either written, oral, or otherwise
| until the hour arrived: l.. l.. Camp, III. D.
| Cook. W. B. Harris r. W. Tucker, Heber
| Wood. Harold Wheelock, d. K. Stone; all
of them residing in the village and visiting
| the post-office daily for their mail; and
moreover. most of them are active Repub-
| LEANS In fact, we have been unable to lind
| single person who was cognizant OF this eau
! Gus in the community with the possible excen-
ton of Postmaster Camp. So we have an
| entire community of fools or knaves VINO
must feel eomplimented by the designation
and must also admire the brillianey, tact, and
| courtesy of q One of their town committee
| As to notice being duly posted at this
| Office, we must decline to accept the Ipse dIXIt
of this man against the evidence OF an entire
| community The writer of the East Gilmore
locals may be sincere in his statement, but
this supposition and taking things for granted
amounts to nothing in a case like this, and
until reliable men who are not ashamed OF
their own identity testify to reading notices
duly posted shall assume there were
| none given. 1t is certain there was no notice
in the press where all other caucuses have
been announced. This caucus was certainly
held at place where. in our Is years resi-
dence in town, we never knew one to be helo
before 1t is certain that so Jealous and act
i've a Republican as l.. l.. Camp only knew o
| b,yb at hn of transact Otlpl
business So much for educ notice"
