Not to be outdone by their Demo.
cratic brethren, the Republicans OF
town turned out enmasse at their
party caucus held in the Town Hall
Saturday night. There was no
friction Of any kind, neither was
there any contests, save for the
councilmanic nomination, and even
in this the two defeated ones took
their medicine gracefully and with
becoming respect, so that every
thing passed off smoothly. Not a
single d ssenting voice was raised to
any of the motions, and the meet
ing was really too tame to be inter-
esting.
The machine had been we'll oiled
and an organization was perfected, +,
and ticket placed in the field in
almost less time than it takes to tell
it. Republican County Chairman
A. w. Duy called the meeting to
order. II. A. McKillip was made
chairman, and II. J. Achenbach
aud w. +. Rinker secretaries, and
then the caucus was ready to re-
ceive nominations for Mayor. Only
one maine was given, that of c. c..
Yetter Esq. He was nominated by
Prof. G.. +. Wilbur. Instantly
there was made a motion that the
nominations be closed, which was
seconded and Mr.. Yetter was de-
clared the nominee,
Usually there are a number of
declinations when it comes TO plac-
ing men on the ticket for council
men, and it not unfrequently hap
pens that the caucus experiences
considerable difficulty in securing
the requisite number of men who
are willing to accept. Not SO i'll
this instance. There was an abund-
ance of material. They were on
hand, five of them, all equipped
with printed ballots, and the way
they fitted around among the
voters distributing the paper slips
and scattering kind words and
pleasant smiles left little doubt but
that they were sincere in their decis-
ion and really wanted the nomina-
ton.
The candidates were Charles
Culp, John Deily, c. Frank Deter
ick, Daniel Sterner Sr., and Theo-
dore + Conner. AS tellers to
count the vote the chairman ap-
pointed B. w Hagenbuch, John
Scott and Jacob Stiner. After few
words from Mr.. McKillip, explain
ing the method of voting so as TO
keep out any repeaters, the vote
was taken and the result was an
nounced as follows: c. Frank
Deiterick, 100; John Deily, III;
Charles Culp, 81; Theodore F.
Conner, 60; and Daniel Sriner Sr.,
26. The first three were declared
the nominees of the caucus.
For Justice of the Peace c. w.
McKelvy Jr., was given unani-
nous vote as was also Jas. c.
Brown for school director.
Joseph L. Townsend and Chas,
II. Kline were nominated for Town
Auditors and Eugene Whitenigh'
for constable, after which motion
was made and carried empowering
the president and secretaries of the
meeting to fill any vacancies that
may occur on the ticket This
concluded the business of the caucus
proper, and the representations ol
the four election districts were as
signed to the different corners oi
the room, where they made the
I following nominations:
