For Constab les--
VIM. Murphy,
Jim Cavner,
J. j. Roderick,
For Justice Of the Peace
0. B. Moon,
n. M Emmons.
j. F. Bradford, Mart Hirzel and Mat
Scheribel were appointed the Caucus
committee for the ensuing year.
AS we supposed. the present Chair
man Mart Hirzel was nominated on
tle first ballot by very large ma
jority, the only other candidate Mr..
Mcintyre, receiving but thirty-eight
votes.
Mat. Scheribel was also nominated
for Supervisor by practically unani-
nous vote, while the contest for the
other Supervisor was very close. The
vote being:
Amos Radcliffe, 60,
VIM. Pershon, Sc,
Mat Kramer. 81,
Robt Felt, II,
VIM. West, 8.
The vote for Clerk was as follows:
John Diamond, go,
J. B. Cook, 60,
H. M. Walden, 80.
AS usual William Tellefson for As
SCISSOR and Fred Morey for Treasurer,
were nominated by reclamation. 1t
is not likely that there will be the US
ual number of independent candidates
running at the Town Election. Chas.
Slattery, as appears from his an,
nouncement in another column de-.
cided to run for Assessor, and calls
attention to the fact that if elected be
III discharge the duties Of the office
and not turn it over to some one else
as has been generally understood.
This fact will doubtless make some
difference with his support when it
comes to the annual Town Election.
William Pershon has also informed us
that he will run as an independent
candidate for Supervisor. Jay Cook
has also made his intentions know
that he will be an independent candi-
date for Clerk.
All of the gentlemen who have
been nominated are we'll qualified to
perform the duties of the positions
for which they have been respectively
nominated. Mr.. Hirzel who will
doubtless be reelected without SER
ious opposition. served the town as
Chairman during the past year and
his services in many respects, entitle
MIN as special candidate. He sup
ervised the treatment of the non-resi-
dent smallpox patients in tine tow"
in such a manner as 10 be able to es-
force collection from the County of
81, 1853, while other towns in the
county were unable to do SO. He
also secured for the town the fairest
apportionment of the State and Coun-
ty Taxes that the Town of Eagle Riv-
err has ever had. Mr.. Hirzel has also
shown great deal of commcndable
energy, perseverance and skill in deal
ing with the institutions that have
to determine where the proposed new
railway is to be built and the manu-
featuring plants of the Wisconsin Bark
& Lumber Co. are to be located. The
best proof Of his success in dealing
with these people lies in the statement
of Mr.. w. A. Phelps, President of the
Wisconsin Bark & Lumber Co., who
attended the caucus and stated to the
writer that he was very much pleased
to see Mr.. Hirzel nominated by such
large majority of what appeared to
him to be representative gathering
of the tax payers of the town. We
now re-affirm what was said in these
columns last week, that this is an in
opportune time for Mr.. Mcintyre or
any one else to undertake to defeat
Mr.. Hirzel for reelection as Chairman.
Every voter should turn out on Elec-
ton day to show their interest in the
town by voting for the candidates and
attending the Town Meeting.
