NAMES WITHDRAWN.
Leicester Men Who Will Not
Submit to Dictation.
Propose to be Consulted When They Are
Named for Public Office by
Anybody.

Leicester, March 2.-The town caucus
of Tuesday evening chose men to fill all
the positions named in the town war
rant, but whether their ticket as chosen
will be printed on the ballots is ques-
tion. The Irish element, which forms
large factor of the voters in the town,
are greatly dissatisfied because no man
from their number was chosen for select
man; also because James L. Gallagher
was cut from the board of assessors,
and that NJ. J. Shaughnessey of the
school committee, whose term expires
this year, was put off to fill an unex-
pired term of one year, and because he
was not nominated for the fall term.
The following letter expresses the idea
Of the dissenters:
Leicester, Mass, March 2, 1898.
To the Editor of the Spy
Dear Sir-The undersigned notice by
the papers OF today that we have been
named as candidates for town officers
at the caucus Tuesday evening. We beg
to state to the people of Leicester that
our names were used without our know
ledge or consent, and we positively re-
fuse to be candidates upon that ticket.
We are in favor of the present board of
town officers in Leicester, who have
shown themselves to be able and honor
able officials, serving the interests of all
our people rather than a select few.
Yours respectfully,
John P. Lee,
James NJ. Butler,
Hugh J. Rice,
A. B. Kennedy,
Michael j. Shaughnessy,
NJ. ]. Rice.
The gentlemen who have signed the
letter will leave several vacancies on
the ballot. A. B. Kennedy, from the
overseers Of the poor; Michael j.
Shaughnessey, from the school commit
tee, and John p Lee, James NJ. Butler,
Hugh J. Rice and W. j. Rice, from the
constables.
This is enough to make one of the
worst muddle which have ever per
picked the politics of Leicester, but this
is not all.
Rev. John F. Redican has sent letter
to Clarence w. GrosVenor, chairman OF
the CAUCUS, and Charles L. Davis, sec
retary, saying That his name was used
without his consent, and informing them
that he will not be candidate for trus-
tee of the Public Library on that ticket
There will be bean supper and enter
tainment in the vestry of the First Con
gregational Church, Thursday evening
at 6 80. The entertainment promises tC
be very interesting, and includes ma
tional flag drill, with national songs
sung by young ladies in costume and
selections by a male quartet.
Some of the gentlemen present at the
caucus Tuesday take exceptions to the
statement that there were only 40 pres
ent, and say that 10 voted for select
men.

founded statement would DO to the local
business men. Mr.. Bradley has also in
