ticeable that the general run of the
voters care but little who is elected
for the full vote is never polled and
very frequently not one-half of it,
showing conclusively that the voters

no difference. There was time,
years ago, when a township caucus
was an important and animated event
and almost one-half of the voters in
the town would be there, but nova
days it is frequently difficult to get
enough voters to attend one to nomi-
nate candidates.

ed by large crowd of merry people,
