1t is amusing to Randolph people to
read OF the sexciting caucuses" held In
other towns during the recent Congress
sional canvass. For instance, Barre dis
patch said that an unusually hot fight had
been waged there and the greatest interest
evinced. The size of the vote, however,
So to ST. hardly bore out this assertion,
considering that the city OF Barre has
some 5000 or 1000 population. Why,
even a recent school meeting In this vii
lage brought out over 200 voters, W lille the
total voters at the Grout- Read caucus was
436 and a rainy day at that. This was the
largest caucus held in the state this year.
Barre is not so warm, after all.

make him drop 1t. By this time pas

without having secured penny for their
pains. Mr.. Leonard held on TO one OF
them, stripping his coat of, but the fell
low got away. The parties have not been
arrested.
