 Judd Wins.
 Less complaisant than MT. Shaw, Mr. Barnett declined the proffe d terms, and so it came about at Mon day nights caucus his insurgent can About 100 men and about one-half the women voters attended. Judd won against Barnett by 60 to 40 and all the other Mackenzie selections went through without semblance of opposi- ton.
 The other representative nominee is Hull Bartram, leader of the West Side faction, which has fought their East years on the score that the latter were 8 stuck-up and less controlled crowd. One of the alleged bosses they went gunning for was Attorney Shaw, with whom they are now in sweet accord, thanks to more pronounced eXhibi- tion of ibossism than has ever been known in the towns political history.

Evidently he considered the present political machine. of which he is so conspicu- ous an agent, as something safe guarded by what may be compared 70 the laws of entail or grants in Darpetuity, more or less circumscrib- ed, and all this when, apart from the and uncertainty pertaining 0 all mundane affairs, the really wise guys should know that few things are .eany less foundation1ess than com oinations of men built upon selfish ad- 'antages.
