ties are getting ready for the struggle.
Notices OF the district meetings were
posted yesterday by Town Sergeant Keene
and the fight will be in earnest in a day
or two.
The Republican hustlers and wire pull
lers are at the preliminary work In ear
nest. The present conditions OF the party
are such that considerable extra work will
have to be done to reunite, IL possible,
the rank aud file of the party. They re-
alize that the thinking element are not
inclined to swallow the statements that
they have been living under a business
administration, especially during the past
year.
There is a change since a year ago
brought about by the actions of the
Town Council, and the leaders are not a
little disturbed that many OF the leading
Republicans OF the town are far from
pleased with the manner in which things
have been run during the past twelve
months.
They are determined to put their pro-
tests in proper form and the Council will
be called to account most effectually for
the fiagrant abuse OF power In more ways
than one. The attempt to throw away
the rights OF the people In the street rail-
way matter showed how much regard the
aggregation bave for the taxpayers inter-
ests.
The French element OF the party claim
that the pie Is not evenly divided and will
insist that there shall be at least two
Frenchmen nominated this year. IL is
stated that there will be no French coun-
Gilman from Manville and this will leave
a vacancy to be filled from the lower dis
trict.
The Council ticket is the bone of con-
tention at the present time and II Is rather
trying ordeal to place seemingly win
ming ticket In the field and at the game
time satisfy the demands OF all the cliuues.
According TO the call the final canvass
OF the voting lists will be held on Friday,
June l, at the Town House.
