| In Lincoln as was shown by the disgrace.
ful AFFAIR called a caucus, held last evening
In the Town House. In days gone by the
members of the &. o. p. have smiled at the
lively contests sometimes seen in Dem
ocratic gathering, but the latter can now
laugh to their hearts content at the tur-
bulent racket OF last evening.
The court room and the Council cham
Der were packed, as we're the entrance
ways In front and In the rear. The crowd
came In moving vans from Manville, car
riages and farm wagons from LIMERICK,
horse and electric cars from Lonsdale.
There was fight on for every place on
the Council, and there were several candi-
dates for some OF the places.
With little difficulty Henry Thresher
was elected Chairman and Charles +.
Easton Clerk. q. Fred Crawford was
nominated for Town Clerk and Charles p.
Moies for Town Treasurer without OPP
position. The next business was the
nomination of man for FIRST Council
man.
John Il. Goldsworthy nominated JabeE
Follett, John Dennis nominated William
Comstock, John Barber named Jethro
Baker and George Dalton suggested Peleg
II.
Barber, who nominated Mr.. Baker, with
drew the name and Mr.. Goldsworthy
withdrew his candidate. On the remain.
| ing two everyone voted as many times as
he desired and handfuls OF ballots were
thrown toward the hats. Those that went
| In were all right.
II looked as though every hat In the
| room would be needed to hold the ballots
when Mr.. Wilbur announced that he had
no intention OF running against Mr.. Com
stock and that all the trouble had been
for nothing. Mr.Dennis denied the right
OF Mr.. Wilbur to decline to run at that
stage OF the game. But Mr.. Wilbur had
said he would not run and that settled
1t. Mr.. Comstock was declared the nom
| inee for first Councilman. Mr.. Dennis
| was bound To get in his work early on the
next one and nominated Charles II. Saw
age. He was surprised TO fnd no counter
nominations.
For the third member OF the Council
Lawrence A. Lockwood and Thomas l..
Jollie were named. Alexander Leslie de-
manded a check list. The ballot distrib-
uters commenced to pass around the slips,
and cry out like hucksters. The Lock-
| wood men took up the cry and shouted
/ for their man. The Moderator announced
that a check list would be used. There
are seven voting districts In the town, and
seven clerks we're appointed.
Then there was such voting as was never
Seen boforeG Men became dlsgusted and
| declined to vote, and after a wrangling
that lasted over an hour Mr.. Lockwood
was declared the nominee by vote OF 271
| to 100. Three members OF the town COM
mittee took positions on the large table In
| front OF the Moderator and finished the
business. They nominated the remainder
OF the ticket, and the crowd shouted their
approval and their disapproval.
But every nomination was declared
made and the caucus was adjourned. No
one out the clerk knew who had been
nominated, ana he would not have known
OF his knowledge obtained by listening to
the nominations presented. But he knew
what the slate was, and those names Will
