evening for the purpose chiefly of
nominating the best possible man to
represent the town in the next Gen.
eral Assembly. The interest that
was felt was clearly shown by the
large attendance, all portions of the
town being well represented.
At 8 O'Clock NJ. p. Cheney of the
town committee called the meeting
to order, made few appropriate re-
marks and without reading the call
announced that nominations for
chairman were in order. w. G. Bas-
sett was nominated, chosen and took
the chair. N. G. Wood was made
secretary. r. W. Hulburd, Gov.
Page and Col. Sawyer made a few
remarks, touching the Importance of
of placing on the Republican ticket
the strongest possible man as a can
didate for Representative, and stick
ing by that man without regard to
personal likes or dislikes. On mo-
tion of Col. Sawyer an informal bal
lot was taken, which resulted in 92
votes being cast, of which j. S. Sco-
field had 35, G. E. Mudgett %, H.
G. Lanpher II and scattering 16.

ed the name of Mr.. Scofeld, placing
him in nomination as a candidate.
The nomination was seconded by G
S. Page, and no other name being
presented, Mr.. Scofeld was declared
by acclamation to be the choice of
the caucus.
MIR. Scofield accepted the honor in
a few well chosen remarks, thanking
the Republicans for the confidence
shown and promising if elected to
act to the best of his ability to faith
fully attend to the interests of his
constituents.
A committee was then appointed
to make up justice ticket, after
which the meeting adjourned.
John S. ScOfield is a man of more
than ordinary ability-a level-head-
ed, upright, straightforward busi-
ness man, in whom all confidence
, may be placed. In him Hyde Park
| will find an able Representative, one
| who will reflect credit not only on
, himself but also on his party and the
town. 1t should now be the duty of
every Republican voter to see to it
that he attends the polls on Tuesday
, next and helps elect the nominee of
his party.
The justice ticket is made up as
follows Geo. E. Mudgett, Geo. B.
Allen, Volney A. Gilmore, J. C. Crock
er, Frank IL. Strong, Harvey d. w.
Doty and Orson Hadley. The first
three are out-and-out Republicans,
the next two straight Democrats,
and the two latter are put down as
Farmers League; although Mr..
Doty has considerable Democratic
tendency and Mr.. Hadley is more at
: home as a Republican than anything
5 else. Notwithstanding all this, how
+ ever, the ticket is strong one and
all the parties named will make good
J Justices.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

Gus. He thanked them for the honor
conferred upon him; had not thought
of it, and stated that his business
was such that he could not leave

can put more work into it than [

! his remaining in the field and after a
little meditation the boniface decided
so to do. F. L. Grimes, G. ?. Ran

town committee. After appointing a

Johnsbury, at present national bank
examiner, who was in town on Off
ClCbl DuSlhSSSJ Nuo cClU IOl anu lu-
r dressed the convention. OF course
r Mr.. May exalted the President and
made the best apology possible for
f the mongrel tariff bill. He believed
2 there were better times in prospect
for the Vermont farmers and the
country generally, but failed to har-
3 monize this statement with the low
: price of farm produce and general
2 stagnation of every industry. He
: put especial stress upon the state
ment that wife and children could
; now wear suit of "wollen" clothes
something they could not do for the
past fifty years, but did not state
that the farmer for this privilege
must sacrifice the hitherto prosper
GUS business of wool raising. He
concluded with an urgent appeal to
the party to stand by the President.
, The caucus then adjourned.
