NOT In many years. II Is shh, mas
there been so little interest shown IN
county politics as there is this year.
One Of the county officials who had oc'
casion the early part of this week to
visit every town in the county, came
back with the report that nowhere did
he hear anything mentioned about poll
tics; the people did not seem to take any
interest in the subject. There seems to
be general feeling that Z. g. How
land OF Barre is the only sure man OF
the Republican nomination. Reports
from different section vary as to who
will be his running mates. Some appear
to think that it win be Messrs. Hill and
Bates, but this hardly seems possible,
although one cannot tell what will hap
pen in primary elections, and 1t is more
probable that the north and south sides
Of the county will be represented with
Mr.. Rowland. Those running betide
those already named are Messrs. Dwinell,
Pitkin and Walker. and from what can
be learned they have as good chances of
being nominated as the Messrs Bates or
Hill.
A session Of United States district
court, with Judge H. B. Howe presid-
ing, will take place in Montpelier Sept.

will be held in Barre the Goth, when
first papers will be granted and appli-
cations for second papers received.

that It is expected that about $50 OF
