not be said to be representative of the feelings of the majority, whose object in coming to the meeting was to get acquainted with the exact situa- ton so as to be prepared to go into the adjourned meeting and vote in lclligently.
 The vindictive spirit which per meated the atmosphc ere of last nights meeting was engendcred by the stor- ies which have been told of the meet ing held in the court room a week ago. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it was a star chamber session. There were those who were offended, feeling that a select few had no right to get togcth CT for the alleged purpose of railroadinG through q number of obiectional measures.
 As far as the Herald was able Co ascertain, the meeting in question was called with a view of getting matters into such a shape as to avoid mix-up at tho town meeting. The following attended,: Colonel Charles M. Jarvis. Major Frank l.. Wilcox Representa- tive Roger M. Griswold, Selectman William H. Gibney, E. w. Mildrunl, Francis Deming, cx-Scnator Claude w. Stevens, A. A. North, R. o. Clark, Edward l. Clark William H. Web ster, John T. M Olumphy and Sidney M. Cowles.
 A number of those who attended last nights meeting were reticent when questioned this morning, but the Herald was able to learn from Secretary Emerson that the follow ing were present: Theodore M. and Willis l. Savage. William Brown, IT. H. Spooner, Prank P. Day, C. E. Baldwin, Judge. Willard l. filling, Charles GulIong. Joseph Wilson, Har- old UpsOn, George Sullivan, William Hyde, Thomas Emerson, J. Emerson, William Smith. John Moore, Jr., and Harry Taylor. There were a few others, who desired to withhold the publication of their names and suC- ceedcd in keeping them from in un : der the reporters pencil. Fl. IT. Spooner was tho presiding officer Of the meeting.
 This afternoon, ono of those who were present came out point blank with the statement that it was be- cause many voters became indignant about the politicians meeting that the session was held He said that the new faction does not want any public matters muZzled anC, inasmuch as the special committees" report had been made public, they felt that they, as voters of the town, have a right to see things through to a finish.
 Attention is called to the fact that none of the town officials or special committee mem bcrs attended the session last night. They were not invited.
 So now. the "PcaceftT' and "Oppo- stion" meetings have been held. The result is obyious'- Unless we are vcry nuch mistaken. the meeting Monday night will not be as quiet and acrene as somc of Enc politicians would depict it. Tvj rival factions have now stopped into the fields; one practically chal!cngin tho other. [: appears that there will De az battle royal at the much n,ootcd meeting if inc resolutions Of the factions con- flict..
