ATTLEBORO.

The political season in Attleboro may
be said to have begun with the late social
of the Prohibitory Club, in which the
temperance Tam Thumb party advocates
were SO incorporate in language, and in
which Chairman Horton OF the Republi-
can Town Committee so effectuaiiy
wound up State Chairman Partridge.
The next notable political event will be
the address tomorrow evening, before
Company O.. of Hon. +. 4. Greenhalge.
1t will be in the company's spacious
rooms, and there will be a large gathering
OF the faithful. The new Republican
Association of North Attleboro will be
guests of the company. The Republicans
of this and of our sister town are thor
oughly awake. and will attack the enemy
from this time on. 1t Is early Tor any de-
cided action upon candidates, but the fact
that owing TO the apportlonment both
Attleboro and North Attleboro will have
a representative will cause early discus
sion Of who they shall be. At Attleboro,
Mayor Horton will succeed himself 'or
third term, if he desires.

rons for the Senatorial seat when tn Q
political ~atefs-a -ase-stifea- A.
North Attleboro there are several capable
men for the position. but as yet there Is
no one prominently probable. Fred
Byram would not obiebt to serving the
people L. r. Guild would like to add to
cupying seat under the gilded dome,
and there are others who are posed, all
ready, in cas61She legislative mantle hap
pens to fall upon them Ed. Whitney's
friends think he ought to have a second
term, which he would have had II that
order arranged had not deprived North
Attleboro OF man when the time for 1T
occurred.
The Young Mems Republican Associa-
tion is pretty live body. It's members
say they are not to be managing but work
ing Republicans Still it is not unlikely
that some clean, active, young man may
be found in their ranks who would make
"a good representative.
Our Democratic friends are not idle but
they are not very active either They
know it is u feFleFa- hope with them but
later they will bestir themselves, SO that
the general result for their party may be
as favorable as possible Philip +. Brady
will attend the National Democratic Con-
vention as an alternate.

There is ripple in business presaging
more activity. The statesmen are one by
one going away, aud in IA few days the
most of them will have departed. Then
will begin to come i'm the orders, followed
by the usual rush, increasing until every
body is driven into all the energy they
