A very large Chamberlain meeting
was held in Portland on Friday evening |
last. The object was to further the inter |
ests OF the Governor for L. S. Senator.
Hon. J. B. Brown was chairman, A. j. |
Chase and ID. p. Baily, Secretaries. Hon.
g. W. Woodman was the first speaker. |
The meeting was success as to numbers |
and enthusiasm.
In our opinion Governor Chamberlain
has stronger hold on the affections of the
thoughtful and progressive people of
Maine than any other public man within
her borders.
