TURNED OUT
OFFICIALS
Mortified Village Meeting
Animated Affair
IN SESSION FOUR HOURS
Village Clerk ]. H. Talbot, Succeeded
BY M. D. Smith; Trustee Holden
by +. A. JosIyn--Business
Not Completed.

Mortified, April s-Four hours Of
such heated and animated discussion as
that Of last evening, a Mortified village
meeting has rarely heard. From 1880
70 1880 the battle Of words was waged
and after throwing two men out d Office
the meeting adjourned to Tuesday, April
ia, when an effort will be made to clear
up tho work Of the village. The meeting
was held In village hall.
j. H. Talbot, who has been town clerk
for ten years, was one Of the deposed
officials, being supplanted by Nj. D.
Smith, and George Durham was the
other his place as trustee being filed
by the election Of r. A. Joslyn after
three very close ballots. II. G. Cady
was succeeded as village treasurer BY
g. Z. Morse, but the change was due
to no dissatisfaction with Mr. Cady. He
had accepted the position temporarily
during the past year when the treasurer
resigned.
The principal contest centered about
the election 0f a trustee for three years,
George Dunham's term expiring and he
being candidate for reelection. The
opposition to his reelection took up the
cry Of Turn out the ring and went
into the battle. There were some rather
bitter things said and ugly innuendors
started over the annual village reports
Others say that there was no cause for
the latter at all But the party which
styled itself the Reform party won
out in the end and succeeded in eleeting
Mr. Joslyn as trustee.
H G. Cady was chosen moderator Of
the meeting There was very large
attendance of citizens. The annual re-
ports were taken up for discussion, and
after four hours, G. A. Edgerton moved
that the acceptance of the reports be
set aside 50 that the meeting could elect
officers, as there was q great deal Of
Yillag business that must be attended to
within the next three weeks, and the
village needed officials. His counsel pre-
vailed, and the meeting proceeded to the
election, which resulted as follows;
Clerk, A. D. Smith
Treasurer, G. L. Morse
Trustee for three years. r.. Al. JoslYn
Fire wardens, IT. e Smalley, Edward
ConneIi. George Cady ana w, T. Kerr.
Auditors, II. w. 0ser, L. j. Taplin
and Edward Connell.
1t had got SO late at that time that
the citizens decided that it would be
better to adjourn for week, "a that
action was taken. Another warm ses.
sion Is expected at that time.
