"IF YOU WOULD BE WEALTHY, THINK OF
SAVING AS WELL AS GETTING." ui Franklin.
O. W. Cherrington, for Presi
dent of Council, and Six
Members Named.
H. G. Suppleo, for Director.
Pursuant to a call, the faction
designated on the posters as the
citizens party, convened in the
Town Hall Tuesday evening, fcr
the purpose of nominating a ticket
to be voted for at the election to be
held on the 21st ol this mouth. The
posting of the bills about town an
nouncing the meeting came in the
nature of a surprise to a great many.
Even some of the party leaders
were unable to comprehend the
significance of the move. Numer
ous Inquiries of men, who are
usually supposed to keep tabs on
things political, did not reveal who
the sponsors of the move were.
Well, the meeting was held, and
a lively meeting it was. It simply
knocked the spots off the two
caucuses that preceded it. Among
those who attended were lellows
who were dissatisfied with the other
two meetings, and who desired the
nomination of men more to their
individual liking, others were there
who thought there was an oppor
tunity to display their leadership,
while not a few were attracted by a
curiosity to see what would be done.
There was considerable delay in
calling the meeting to order. Chas.
Rabb finally took up the scopter of
authority and an organization was
effected. IS. F. Carpenter was
elected chairman and Chas. K. Kes
ty and G. E. Lewis secretaries.
At this point in the proceedings
Mr. Carpenter asked tor some in
formation. He desired to know I
whether it was proposed to endorse
either of the tickets already named
or to nominate a whole new ticket.
A spirited discussion ensued and de
veloped the fact that a majority fa
vored lhe latter course and accord
inly nominations for President of
Co.incil were asked for. C. C.
Yetter, the Republican nominee
was named but as the caucus had
voted against endorsing any other
candidates, his name was with
drawn and O. W. Cherrington aud
William Chrisman Ksq. were nom
inated. As tellers to count the vote
the chairman appointed C. M. Hess,
J. E. Fidlerand B. W. Hagenbuch.
The vote was taken and resulted
iu a majority for Cherrington, he
receiving 84 to 34 for Chrismau.
Mr. Cherrington was declared the
nominee.
Then there was another hitch,
occasioned by a division of senti
ment regarding the number of can
didates to be nominated for council
Some favored the naming ot only
three, while others insisted on six
or none. The chairman, desirous
of ascertaining the wish of the ma
jority, hit upon a novel idea, that
of dividing the house, requesting
all who favored three candidates for
Council to take the right side of
room and those for six the left side.
The result was an overwhelming
victory for the former, alter which
the following gentlemen were
placed in nomination : Fisher, Geo.
D. Hartman, C. M. Eittenbender,
W. L. White, William Huttou, C.
W Runyon, W. B. Ferguson, C.
B. Robbins, W. II. Hassert. and
W. R. Ringrose. Pr. I. L. Rabb,
Bart Pursel and Will Eastman wee
appointed tellers and they an
nounced the result as follows:
Runyon 81, Hassert 63, White 53,
Bittenbender 34, Robbins 34, Fisher
37, Ferguson 19, Hartman 18 and
Hutton 12.
Nominations for school director
was next taken up. The names
submitted were those of Jas. C.
Brown and II. G. Supplee. The
first however was out of order, he
being the Republican nominee, and
Supplee was nominated by accla
mation. At this juncture some one moved
for adjournment which was carried
and the meeting broke up in con
fusion. The offices of Justice of the Peace
and Constable were apparently for
gotten and an adjournment was
taken without any provision having
been made to fill any vacancies that
may occur.
Mr. Cherrington and C. B. Rob
bins have declined to run and it is
rumored that some others will decline.
Caucus Attracts Large Attend,
ance but Enthusiasm Was
Lacking.
A FULL TICKET NAMED.
Not to be outdone by their Demo
cratic brethren, the Republicans of
town turned out enmasse at their
party caucus held in the Town Hall
Saturday night. There was no
friction of any kind, neither was
there auy contests, save for the
councilmanic nomination, and even
in this the two defeated ones took
their medicine gracefully and with
becoming respect, so that every
thing passed off smoothly. Not a
single d sscnting voice was raised to
any of the motions, and the meet
ing was really too tame to be inter
esting. The machine had been well oiled
and an organization was peifected,
and a ticket placed in the Geld in
almost less time than it takes to tell
it. Republican County Chairman
A. W. Duy called the meeting to
order. II. A. MeKillip was made
chairman, and II. J. Achenbach
aud W. E. Rinker secretaries, and
then the caucus was ready to re
ceive nominations for Mayor. Only
one nam; waa given, that of C. C.
Yetter Esq. lie was nominated by
Prof. G. E. Wilbur. Instantly
there was made a motion that the
nominations be closed, which was
seconded aud Mr. Yetter was de
clared the nominee.
Usually there are a number of
declinations when it comes to plac
ing men on the ticket for council
men, and it not '.infrequently hap
pens that the caucus experiences
considerable difficulty iu securing
the requisite number of men who
are willing to accept. Not so in
this instance. There was nn abund
ance of material. They were on
hand, five of them, all equipped
with printed ballots, and the svay
they flitted around among the
voters distributing the paper slips
aud scattering kind words and
pleasant smiles left little doubt but
that they were sincere in their decis
ion and really wanted the nomina
tion. The candidates were Charle?
Culp, John Deily, C. Frank Deiter
ick, Daniel Sterner Sr., and Theo
dore F Conner. As tellers to
count the vote the chairman ap
pointed B. W Hagenbuch, John
Scott and Jacob Stiner. After a few
words from Mr. MeKillip, explain
ing the method of voting so as to
keep out any repeaters, the vote
was taken and the result was an
nounced as follows: C. Frank
Deiterick, 120; John Deily, in;
Charles Culp, 97; Theodore F.
Conner, 60; and Daniel Stiner Sr.,
26. The first three were declared
the nomiuees of the caucus.
For Justice of the Peace C. W.
McKelvy Jr., was given a unani
mous vote as was also Jas. C.
Browu for school director.
Joseph L. Townsend and Chas.
II. Kline were nominated for Town
Auditors and Eugene Whitenight
for constable, after which a motion
was made and carried empowering
the president and secretaries of the
meeting to fill any vacancies that
may occur on the ticket. This
concluded the business of the caucus
proper, and the representations of
the four election rtistncts were as
signed to the different corners of
the room, where they made tue
following nominations:
' First District Judge of Election,
John Scott; inspector, F. B. Rupert;
registry assessor, Edward Myers.
Second District Judge of elec
tion, Joseph Garrison; inspector, C.
T. Hendershott; registry assessor,
Robert Morris.
Third District Judge of election,
William Webb; Inspector, Roy
Ralston; registry assessor, Calvin
Girton.
Fourth District Judge of elec
tion, Daniel Stiner; inspector,
Edward Gearinger; registry assess
or, Wilbur Fisher.
Bear in mind the Wheelmen's
big minstrels which, if plans don't
miscarry, will be given the latter
part of February. The perform
ance will be superior to that of last
seasou in some respects, and the
stage setting which will be new and
novel, will also be the finest ever
seen in the local playhouse.
