 Politics in Norfolk are becoming very interesting. There are three Republi- can factions, each working for a differ ent candidate for governor; and the To- cal postm astership Is also bone of con- tention. If the NEWS was political paper we would furnish it spicy dish of politics to set before it's readers, but while such an article could be chased as legitimate item of news neverthe- less some would undoubtedly kick and claim that the NEWS wac dabbling in politics. hence we refrain from writing up the different phases of local politics On last Thursday evening the Republi- cans held their caucus at the Town Hall and elected delegates to the various conventions. Out of compliment to the Hon. James D. Dewell some politicians endeavored to work up enthusiasm for the Dewell boom when at heart they were Lounsbury men. But the would be managers run up against snag for two delegates were elected who heartily wish to see Mir Dewell nominated and if he stands no show, are anti-Fyler men who will vote for John Addison Porter. The Hon. Joseph Selden acted as mod orator, and Robbins Battell Stoeckel. clerk. The following delegates were elected: State Convention-Leo Jour tiss, Robbins Battell Stoeckel, Geo. T. Johnson and Joseph Selden. Congress sional-Winthrop Cone, Eugene Oar row, A. P. Atwood and R. I. Orissey Oounty-P. J. O'Connell. Stephen Sel. den, Thomas Carroll and Seth Brown. Senatorial-Benj. Brown, J ID. Bassett. Dr J. O. Kendall and NJ. N. Clarke, Town Committee, J. D. Bassett, chair man; Thos. Carroll, G T. Johnson, R. I. Crissey. J N. Cowles, Seth Brown and A. P. Atwood. On Monday the political pot" again commenced to boil for the town honored by visit from the Hon. E. J. Hill For nearly two years ex-Senator J. N. Cowles and ex blyman A. F. Atwood have striven to obtain the post office, and both have had good packers. Mir Hill of course is not pushing the mstter-it is good politics to wait till after election. All these events are being discussed from A to 2 by the people. Although early, the question of who will be the nominees for Judge of Probate and Rep resentatives in the Republican party is being discussed.
