The sensation yesterday in the first

charging Gov. Page with spending too
much money in the campaign and
criticising his political methods which
he says "are perverting the moral
sense of our people,"
Politics are pretty lively in Orange
county, If not quite up to the stand
ard heat in the first district. Wall
men charge trickery in the Braintree
caucus and George w. F'lagg, the old
veteran war horse, retaliates by
charge that 10 democrats voted the
Wall ticket and that he shall contest
the election of delegates, claiming his
ticket was elected. The Watchman
says:
Mr.. Wall appears to have taken
Braintree by the aid of his old demo-
cratic following. The highest repub-
lican vote in the town has been about
$50. At the caucus on Saturday af
ternoon l46 votes were cast, of which
SO were for the Wall delegates to
county convention, 60 for the Flagg
ticket. 1t is charged that from 30 to
40 democrats voted on the Wall tick
ct, and that Mr.. Flagg will put up a
contest for the seating of his dele
gates on the ground that his defeat
was caused by democrats who had no
right to vote in a republican caucus
1t is evidently war to the knife in
that county. If Mr. Flagg can prove
his charge his delegates will come
nrettv near being seated.
