Pledged to Him With Many Towns
Missing, While DIR. Mead Has 242
Up to Date-Unpledged Delegations
Almost Unanimously Opposed to
Rutland Mans Candidacy.
At an early hour Wednesday morn
ing returns from the caucuses held in
all parts of the State show 242 votes
for Mead 1877 for Fleetwood, 206 anti
Mead and uninstructed, and 10 votes
missing. A large part of the unin-
structed delegates appear to be anti
Mead and the probability is that no
candidate will enter the convention.
with a clear majority, $50 votes being
necessary for a choice.
One of the surprises was the large
number of anti-Mead delegates elect
ed in Rutland county, Mead's home
The strength shown by Mead in Chit
tenden and Franklin counties was
greater than had been expected by
his opponents.
The result of the caucuses through
out Washington county shows that in
| all probability Mr.. Fleetwood will re-
ceive the majority of the votes of
the delegates chosen, although a
large portion of them are uninstruct-
ed. Most of these uninstructed de-
legations are composed of strong an
ti-Mead men and may be depended
upon to vote for Mr.. Fleetwood when
it comes to a showdown.
DR.. Mead carried Barre only after
the hardest kind of a fight, the final
ballot showing him victor by the
small margin of votes. Montpelier
merely went through the form of a
caucus. as a list OF delegates pre-
pared by the anti-Mead faction was
unopposed by the Mead forces. North
field turned the same trick, while
Waterbury elected a Fleetwood tick
