Burlington's Verdict.

The republican city caucus held Friday
vening for the purpose OF electine dele
ates to the congressional district conven-
ion was unquestionably the largest gather
ng of the kind ever held in Burlington,
he contest having been conducted on both
tides with unusual vigor and determna-
lion. While the issue involved was the
control OF the delegates to the congress
ional convention, a strong local feeling
lerved to add intensity to the contest.
The ticket headed by Hon ID. j. Foster
tor Congress received a total of 1918 votes
while the unpledged ticket had SO, making
the total vote 1897. The interest manifest
ed can be seen from comparison Of this
result with the total republican vote Of
$3.50 in the city election of last March, but
It is to be borne in mind that neither
party cast it's total vote in that contest.
The right of challenge was exercised by
both sides last evening and twenty votes
were thrown out because those Offering
them were not entitled to vote in a repub-
lican caucus.
Judge Powers having carried out in this
county his policy of not making a con-
test whore there is a local candidate, the
Powers men divided between the two tick
cts owing to local feeling, but knowing
that the second choice of the delegates
on the Foster ticket was for Congressman
Powers in recognition Of the strong Pow
ers sentiment in this city, the friends OF
Ex.-Gov. Page supported the unpledged
ticket. SO far as this city is concerned
therefore. Mr.. Page is eliminated from the
contest and the chances are that the re-
mainder of Chttenden county will also
refuse to give HIM recognition following
the lead of Burlington.

The determining factor in the canvass
IN this city was the attitude of Judge
Powers, freely expressed to HIS friends,
in favor of Foster ticket. Many of his
supporters in Burlington did not feel at
liberty to disregard his wishes in this re-
spect, and his preference was worth prob
ABLY four or five hundred votes to Mr..
Foster Those who found themselves UNI
able to share Judge Powers confidence in
that gentleman, respected his wishes by
not placing formal Powers ticket in the
ucld, although in the opinion Of the best
Judges among them such a ticket, brought
out sufficiently early, could have carried
the day against all opposers. The politl-
cal wisdom or unWsdorp of the policy
which has thus prey allied in this city, and
Viii probably prevail throughout this
county. will be determined by the final
result. If that should be the denomination
Of Congressman Powers, by the aid of
Nho have assisted the latter will be en-
titled to claim that they knew what they
we're about and that the end has justified
lie means. If the result should bc the
lefeat OF Judge Powers, by NJ Foster
n the convention, some six hundred good
republicans in this city viii derive some
consolation from the reflection that they
we're in no way responsible for such an

How few women know what 1t is to

Amid the violets, half asleep with purple
