ministered on Sunday and collec-
ton taken for district EXPENSES

Iministered on Sunday and a collec
ton taken for district expenses.
The town hall was packed on
Thursday evening, when the Republi.
can caucus was called to order by
Geo. NJ. Powers, of the town com.
mlttee. This, in spite of the inclem-
ent weather, went to show that there
was live canvass for Town Repre-
sentative, especially as two-thirds OF
those voting were from outside the
village. 1t is safe to say that NOT
one-quarter of the village voters
were present and voting. Hon. G.
W. Hendee was made Chairman, and
Geo. M. Powers Clerk. 1t was pro-
posed to take an informal ballot.
The suggestion was made that the
hats be passed, and four tpllers were
appointed. 1t became evident that
no fair ballot could be taken bv
passing the hats and the voters
were instructed to form in line and
pass by the box. The result of this
informal ballot was:-Whole num-
Der cast, 2SS; necessary for choice,
$40. f. Is. Living ston had 1; A. A.
Niles, 10; A. o. Gates, 46; C. H.
Slocum, 76, and W. S. Cheney, 145.
Mr.. Slocum moved to make the nom
nation of Mr.. Cheney unanimous,
and it was seconded by the other
gentlemen having been voted for. A
Justice ticket was put in nomina-
ton. Mr.. Cheney was called for, and
in the confusion of dispensing
crowd accepted the honor.
