stated that his town had not mad a
representative for the past 10 years
and thought that next year 1t would De
the right thing to give an Auburn man
a show. A motion was passed to the

tel. Landlord T. ]. Cotter served one
of his celebrated turkey dinners. At
ter dinner the company adjourned to
the parlors. Here the work of the
campaign was discussed until o'clock.
The Douglas delegation denied the
truth of an article that appeared in a
Worcester paper, not The Spy, some
time ago, stating there was dissatis-
faction in the ranks of the Republicans
in Douglas. They mentioned that at
the caucus SO votes were cast and that
the delegates elected were unanimous
ly instructed to vote for Schuster.
That does not look as though there
was dissatisfaction in the ranks.
The situation in the different towns
was thoroughly gone over. All felt
confident that although this an off
year, the Republican candidate would
win.
The nominee of today is a prominent
business man of Douglas He is a
member of the firm of w E. Hayward
& Co., wooden manufacturers who give
employment to $50 hands.
