ed and resulted in Amos Davis secur-
ing nine out of the eighteen votes
cast, the balance going to VIM. Man
ming, Nj. Gould and H. Hurlburt.
4 second ballot gave Mr.. Davis II
votes and the nomination, which at
the suggestion of the secretary was
made unanimous-or nearly so. The
caucus then adjourned sine die. Mr..
Davis is chairmen of the Board of
Selectmen and good citizen. Ordi-
narily he would make a fair Repre-
sentative, but we do not think on
this occasion he is the man to send
to Montpelier.
The call for the Republican caucus
is published in this issue. Undoubted-
ly there will be a large attendance,
as there always is at a Republican
caucus. Who will be the best man to
send to Montpelier is the question
that will be settled at that time. As
we have before stated many good
names have been suggested, and we
give here the list as far as we can
learn. They are:-Geo. Mudgett, Z.
G.. Sherwin, John ScOfield, w. G.. Bas-
sett, L. p. Butts, N. G. Wood, II. NJ.
Mcfarland, Col. E. B. Sawyer and H.
c. Lanpher. From among this num-
Der a good man could be selected
and doubtless the lucky person will
be one of these, although there are
many other capable men besides the
above. 1t is the duty of every Re-
publican to be present at the caucus
and there express his preference and
then abide by the will of the maiori-
ty. To take part in a caucus and
then "kick " against the nominee is
not good Republican politics. Let
all who intend to vote for the nomi-
nee of the caucus be on hand next
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.
w. L. Bennett of WOlcott sent a
note for $35 to the Savings Bank at
this place last Saturday and asked
the treasurer to forward him check
for the same. The note, which was
dated Wolcott, Aug. II, was drawn
by Bennett and was payable at the
Hyde Park Savings Bank ninety
days after date. 1t was signed by
Bennett and had the names of "H.
B. Bundy" and "L. A. Tilson"
Imeant for Tillotson) on as endors-
ers. The bank being acquainted with
Mr.. Bundy's signature at once recog-
nized forgery and on Monday morn
ing the necessary papers were made
out and Officer Waite went to VOL
colt and arrested Bennett, who ad-
mitted the crime but excused himself
by saying he thought it would be all
right if he paid the note before it
became due. This is the second note
forged by him. Another for the same
amount and on which he forged the
same names was worked on the
Hardwick Savings Bank some three
months ago. To meet this note
which had become due he made the
one on this bank. Benefits a young
man about thirty years old and has
a wife and child. At a hearing be-
fore Justice Gilmore Tuesday he
waived examination and was bound
over in the sum of $500.
