HERE'S A BIG CATCH!
Too Good to Support
Republican Nominee.
CRAWFORD IN A CORNER.
Tale of Two Conventions Held in Lin
coin Last Night.

The town caucus OF the Republicans
was held last evening in the Town House,
and large number were present. There
is lots Of dissension in the party, and 1t
was shown several times last night.
Councilman Roberts was knocked out
of water by Joe GrenaD, and he will now
have to prefix an "ex" to his name. This
will make Roberts friends wild, but he
has carried things with too high. a hand
and deserves to be ousted.
Councilman Manchester is not in II this
year. He was around making a canvass
Monday, but ii amounted to nothing.
William II. Comstock beat him 100 to ia.
There is a vacancy caused by the death of
Mr.. Harris that William Bridgehouse
hopes to I'LL, but those that know say his
chances of election are far from being
good. The rest OF the ticket is the same,
but all have their opposing factions.
The climax was reached when Chairman
Littlefield asked for nominations for
Town Clerk. John Black thorough arose
and said he hoped that all candidates for
Office would leave the hall as he had some-
thing to say that the candidates would
not like to hear. No one went out and
then he continued:
az am one, and have a few followers 5,
who will not support such men as c. Fred
Crawford, Hector Schiller and Richard T.
Keene. I don't see how any Christian
gentlemen can support them. They are
members Of an association that aids and
promotes gambling, and for other reasons
we cannot vote for them"
However he had not enough followers
to carry out his ideas, and the following
are the officers OF the caucus and tho
ticket: Chairman, A. II. Littlefield;
Clerk, Samuel Fessenden.
