The Republican convention which
takes place tomorrow in Providence will
be well represented from here, as large

rangement TO attend it. There seems to
be unusual interest taken in this cam
paign. Harmony reigns along the entire
line.
Mention has been made OF great deal
of kicking by the citizens in town, caused
by the re-apportionment bill in the Legis-
lature. There nay be without doubt a
feeling which cannot be helped, but the
blame cannot be attached to anyone,
although in the estimation of many
there was a discrepancy somewhere,
but allowing that in taking the census
there had been an additional 1000 to our
numbers we would then been subject to
the same loss, as that would not allowed
us our usual number. We are unfortu-
nate aud it comes in a year when the party
needs full representation in the halls of
our LEGISLATURE, but with a smaller rep
resentation the interest of the State and
the town will be well taken care OFF.
Also mention has been made of great
deal of feeling regards the dropping off of
one member. The present gentleman

ing office and they gracefully accepted the
situation without the slightest feeling.
