Silly Twaddle

country delégales during the se33Íon of the late Repubücan county convention that Mfcssrs Barrt and Grisson wère not residcnts of this City, and that the City was entitled to tbc candidatos for Register, Sheriff, etc. The Local News of Tuesday foolishly adnpts this twaddl e as its own, and announces the candidato for Clerk thus: "For Clerk, Robkrt J. Bariiy, of Pitteüeld.'' It would havo probably put down Giussox as a resident of Frecdom, had not the nomination of McLean for Ragister blocked that raovo. Will the Local ífctól teil us by what right .Mr. Baury presumes to hold the office of Mayor of this City if he is a resident of Pittsfield? Even the sovcreign voters have no right to cloct non-residents to City offices.
