active, and
The Leaders of the Caucus
are jealous workers. On last Tuesday
evening public meeting in the interest of
temperance was held at Liberty Hall when
1t was resolved TO petition tho council to
submit the proposition of license, or no
License, 10 the voters of the town at the
next municipal election. Committees
were appointed in each ward to obtain sig
natures to the petition, and already great
many names have been obtained; in truth,
the number indicates that if each and
every one who signed the petition will
vote for no license, the measure will
carry. But be it as it may, the fact is ap-
parent that in the event the council COM
plies with the request in the petition, and
let The voters decide 1t, the contest will be
a most spirited one.
