has caused a great deal of uncertainty about
some tbe offices. In the matter of the con
gressional light, or rather tbe contest for
control of the delegation from tbls county
to tbe district convention, there was-much
bad blood stirred up. Captain Hull, tb
present congressman received a small ma
Jorlty of the popular vote in th county and
got 1S5 delegate while bla opponent, Judge
S. F. Frouty, secured 106 delegates. But
the Prouty people have been declaring that
they were cheated out ot tbelr right by
fraud and hav been threatening to divide
the convention unless tbey were given a
chance to prove tbelr claims or have them
disproven. Tbe Hull men were in full con
trol of everything. y.
Frosty Is Defeated.
Tbere were two reports from tb commit
tee on credential, tb majority report
stating that It would be Impossible to In
vestigate the accusation of fraud at the
primary In that It would be Incompetent
to go back of tbe return of the Judge. A
minority report wa presented which In
cluded a letter from Judge Prouty setting
forth specltto claims of fraud, to asking a
postponement of the convention for one
week to allow an Investigation. Tbe report
set forth many claim ot fraud on wrong
doing In th primary. Ex-Senator Cheshire
moved the substitution of the minority for
the majority report and this precipitated
a direct conflict. The discussion waxed
warm for soveral hours, and tbe utmost
excitement prevailed. Th convention ball
wa packed to suffocation as tb partisan
of Hull and Prouty were enthusiastic and
dsmonstratlve. Tbe committee rejected the
minority report and adopted the majority
vote.
After the minority report ot credentials
committee bad been been rejected and ma
jority adopted seating tbe Hull delegate
In convention, the delegation to congres
sional wa selected and county ticket
named. Judge Pronty who friend bad
talked of bolting the convention, wa
called befor the convention acknowledged
defeat and pledged support to th ticket,
at th earn tlm declaring h would be on
band tomorrow.
