Harmonious SessiOn-A Full Town
Ticket Nominated-The Republican
Caucus This Evening - Philander
w. Hall Dying-The Game Law or
"A SILK Mill One OF the Possibilities
OF the Near Future.
There was large attendance at the dem
ocratic CAUCUS in the town hall last evening.
with R. D. Perkins as clerk. The work of
the caucus was unusually harmonious and
the hall was cleared before 9 O'Clock. A
little ripple of excitement was caused when
in making the nominations for constables
]. J. Myers arose and presented the name
of Luke Martin, who he stated had been
converted to democracy and had expressed
his determination to support and vote the
democratic ticket this campaign. George
n. Reilly was on his feet at once and OBJ
jected to the nomination, saying that even
If the sudden conversion to democracy
was sincere he objected to giving him an
Office when there were others in the party
who were tried and true and had never
faltered in their allegiance to the party.
The speaker was applauded and the name
of Martin was not further pressed. B. A.
Treat nominated most of the principal
candidates and with Michael o. Callagbau
did nearly all of the "orating" during the
evening. After the ticket was all filed out
there was call for speech from B. A.
Treat, who responded and made few
stirring remarks, among which was the
statement that he believed that Grover
Cleveland would be elected president of
the United States in November and that
the country would flourish under demo-
cratic rule. The ticket nominated is as
