of G. c. Sargent. The kickers' candidates
for delegates to the county convention were

The West Newbury Drum corps went to
Camp Pineton Saturday evening after the
caucus, and gave Horace handsome sere-

Both the above items establish the
fact that E. w. Smith is not candi

Sargent and Bailey-they are both
members of the Orange County Re

Quarrel over so trivial matter.
The Wells River items in the Yer
mont Union size the matter up as fol-
lows:
Once more Wells River republicans came
home from one the Horace Bailey caucuses
taught the lesson for the third time that a
majority of the republicans of NeWbury
stand by Horace. The question to be decid-
ed was whether Newbury would send
delegation to the county convention that
would favor the nomination OF Horace for
county senator or not. Horace got there.
They teach hard, mighty hard in fact
they refuse to be taught, twice have
they offered up the republican party
as a sacrifice rather than to be taught
from such a source. 1t may be said
by way of explanation that all Wells
River republicans do not wear blood
in their eye.
Fourthly and lastly we clip from the
West Newbury news in the last issue
of the OPINION the following:
Saturday evening, June 10th, the West
\ ewbury Drum Corps visited Camp Pine
ton and rendered our friend and townsman,
Horace w. Bailey, cOngratulat0ry sere-
made. Not on his nomination as Senator,
which is yet to be determined, but for the
complete support he received from his par
ty at the caucus held on Saturday AFTER
noon. 1t is indeed victory of which our
friend may we'll feel proud. The members
of the Drum corps are staunch friends and
supporters of Mr.. Bailey, and their music
did not lack enthusiasm. 1t was wholly I'M

and equal to any occasion, and Will make as
big Senator as any two men inthe county

Bailey, and is glad to know that his fellow
tewnsmen have at last acknowledged his
ability to serve them.
The first and last itemizer show the
extreme view, while the intermediate
items draw milder picture of the
situation. The above item says,
"Horace will make as big Senator as
any two men in the county," that
probably means in avoldupolse, at
least we hope so. The political situa-
ton in Newbury has been, and is be.
ing looked upon with interest through.
out Orange County, and the result of
the Newbury caucus watched for with
anticipation, hence the propriety of
republishing the obove items; pick out
which ever one suits you best. The
County Convention of July Sd, will
settle this matter and the next issue OF
I OPINION will report the result. If it
is neighbor Sargent well and good, the
republican party of Newbury will
support him, and there will be no
wailing nor crashing of teeth, nor
