Mr.. Benjamin Harrison, the people OF

with the conduct OF your postmaster-
general. Ii fills them with a sense of hui

republican as well as democratic, and
the universal conviction is that you will

utter lack of an ordinary sense Of proprie-

Deerlng Town Meeting.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
In this mornings paper. in an article un-
der the above heading, "Annexationist"
says the ''annexationists are in no way re-
sponsible for the call which was wholly in
the interest of city charter"
Assuming that the writer is both an hon.
est and an honorable man, he will, of course
be glad to be corrected if, through misinfor-
nation. he, in that article, is not only mis-
leading, but misstatlng facts.
AT the last annual town meeting of Deer
ing, the town, as such, voted emphatically
against taking any steps toward attempting
to annex to Portland. At that same meet
ing the town raised committee to present a
bill to the present legislature looking toward
a change in the municipal government of
the town. Members of this committee early
began Investigations, and when formerly
called together, the majority, from their own
manner of reasoning and enquiry on the
subject, had reached the conclusion that a
modified form of city government would
best meet the wants of the town. Hence
they proceeded carefully to draw such city
charter.
In the meantime, citizens of the town pre-
pared an enabling act and presented it to the
legislature, and it was referred to the judici-
airy committee.
In due process of time, the committee also
presented the charter prepared by them, and
that document was also referred to the same
committee.
On examination of the enabling act for an
nexation. in the judgment of some the bill
70 fona Afn a "a
would place Deering in a false position. And
for these reasons, at the hearing given by
the judiciary committee, the passage of the
act was opposed No one opposed the char
ter as presented, and it still lies in the hands
of that committee.
At the hearing on the enabling act, state
ments were made by gentlemen favoring the
bill which, If true, would place different
aspect on the whole question. In tie opin-
ion of many. these statements were over
drawn.
To test this question. and to see if the
the whole object of the call for the special
town meeting. Hence, if there is any
blame to be attached, or aspersiOns to be
cast upon those petitioning for this meeting,
1t rests entirely on those making statements
for facts which the town alone can decide
In relation to the insertion of article four
in the warrant there was no self.defence
about 1t whatever.
The petitioners thought they were cover
ing the whole ground in article three, and if
not there was not the slightest objection to
the insertion of article four.
Three questions are before the town of
Deering: First, to remain as now; second,
to adopt a city charter; third. to annex to
Portland. The first two the citizens of Deer
ing must decide. The third must in
fhn and ha n nfd A6
Before attempting to lose our own iden-
tity ought we not carefully to study our
present system, the system proposed by the
town committee, and also the condition of
affairs in Portland, and the position we shall
occupy when once annexed.
Respectfully, yours.

The Holman Pictured .

Arrangements have been made for
unique and deeply interesting exhibition and
service in the New Jerusalem church, We'd
nesday evening, Feb Goth.
A series Of beautiful pictures from draw
ings by the Artist Holman illustrating the
earthly life of our Saviour will be. exhibited
by the stereopticon. accompanied by read
ings and sacred music, under the direction
of Mr.. Charles A. Nussbaum, of Paris,
France. rs pA JHi
These pictures have been exhibited in Eu-
rope and in the leading cities of America to
delighted audiences, who are most enthus-
iastic in their praise. One who saw them in
Europe writes: 'If you have seen them am
sure you will say that what Handel has
done through the music of the Messiah,
Holman has done through these pictures. l
cannot describe to you the hush, the rever-
ence that filled the audience; and as the
story went on, aud the scenes we've repre-
senting the persecution and crucifxion of the
Lord. there we're few in the audience who
were not moved to tears"
