His Ticket Elected by a Plurality
of 4o in a Big Caucus.
Delegates Understood to Favor e. F.
Brownell for Sheriff-Foster Dele
gates Elected to District Con-
vention.

| A crowd of seethng, surging and sway
ing men filled the City Hall Friday night at
the republican CAUCUS for the election of
delegates to the district and county con-
ventions and elected delegates supporting
G. w. Brownoll for senator and Il. +.
Brownell for sheriff by a vote of Sol to sos
and unanimously elected delegates to the
district convention favorable to Hon. ID.
j. Foster for member of Congress from
the first district.
The caucus was one of the largest ever
held in burlington and although the check
list was used it was practically impossible
to make 1T effective ON account of the
crush. The ballot boxes opened at s
o clock but long before that hour crowds
of men began to gather and it was not UNI
til IL O'Clock that the last vote was cast
and the boxes closed. The caucus was
called to order by $. NJ. Flint, chairman of
the city committee. Hon. T.. II. Taft was
elected chairman and c. Il. Allen was
chosen clerk.
| 1t took over half an hour to count the
votes and from the first returns it was
impossible to determine whether G. W.
Brownel or f. f.. Burgess would be the
victor. Each candidate for senator made
out his own list of delegates, taking into
consideration the contest for sheriff, and
attempted to make it as strong as possible
d number of the names being the same ON
each list Mr.. Brownell carried every ward
a maJorlty of T. votes.
Tho vote by wards was as follows:
! Ward one ami three-Bi ownell 30S, Bur-
CESS 25i.
Ward two-Brownen ISL. burgess $50
Ward four-Brownell Isl, Burgess 1856
