Morris, who has always un- til the present time been known as a l republican, but apparently is a. recent convert to democracy, and like other cases in the past the old standbys ot the party were ignored and the new t convert given the highest position or the ticket. The name of R. $. Austin who for years has been on the ticket as collector, was dropped and $. J - Hall substituted. The attendance was < not as large as is usual at the demo. - cratic caucus, the votes numbering about 100.

 Burgesses-G. W. Backes, J. T. Kim berly, P. J. Darrigan. l Cocococoooccoooooooooooop
