Faxon’s Movements Hint at Campaign Strategy

Henry H. Faxon has not visited his Boston headquarters since last Saturday. Friends say he is recovering from regret over a failed Ward 11 resolution, while enemies speculate his absence masks a strategic retreat until the Republican convention. A Brackett nomination could trigger a warlike campaign move with rumors of a $5000 spend, though sources disagree on how it would be used.

Republicans tighten access to convention amid county races

The Republican State central committee voted to admit only delegates with clear credentials to next week’s convention, aiming to prevent packing. Berkshire county split over sheriff nominees Henry Manning and Hiram B. Wellington with Wellington a former sheriff and Manning a county commissioner. Democrats expect Senator John C. Crosby to land the second state ticket spot, risking a fierce Republican fight in the senatorial district. Others mentioned include E. D. Jones and Thomas H. Post for nomination, with Fassett likely renominated in the southern Berkshire district. Prohibitionists nominate W. H. Woodwell for Cape district senate. Barnstable Prohibitionists back Crowell, Baker, Bradley, and Chipman for specified posts. An Epcartown caucus on Sept 18 declared for Crapo, choosing delegates Richard Holley, Cornelius E. Marchant, and T. R. Holley, C. H. Pease.
