The Democrats Hold Their Town Conven-
Notwithstanding Items About Town.
The Democratic convention for the
nomination OF an Assembly ticket was
held last evening in the Town Committee
rooms after the Town House was visited
and found locked up. F. T.. Fitzsimmons
was chosen Chairman and Fred A. Mann
and j. j. Riley Secretaries.
Several Of the delegates were not pre-
sent and substitutions were made.
On motion OF Mr.. Quigley, the tcmpor-
ary organization was made permanent.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons said that I'm his opin-
Ion the best way to proceed would be TO
confine themselves 10 discussing the time
and place to which they should adjourn,
when they adjourned, and To go into ex-
ecutive session when that point was set
tied and consider the question OF candi-
dates.
T.. L. Taylor, though not a delegate,
asked for and was given permission to
speak. He said h thought IL was his duty
to say anything that was for the interest
OF the Democratic party. He said gen.
tleman had been substituted as a delegate
from No. 9 district who was a representa-
tive of paper that had abused the party
shamefully, regardless OF truth, and that
the delegate was now engaged in that
work.
He alluded to l.. q. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips jumped up and said he was
a Democrat, always had been, and always
would be; that he was willing to sacrifice
anything for the party and concluded, ad-
dressing Taylor: ~ was flghting the par
ty's battle before you were ever thought
Of"
The chair said that "a Mr.. Phillips was
willing to sacrifice his personal interests
for the good OF the party and was man
OF honor he saw no objection to him as q
delegate.
The matter was then dropped.
1t was argued that the convention be
held In Temperance Hall Monday evening

form of Il rally.

THE SECRET CAUCUS SLATE
Aldrich Compels the Delegates to Put

The omported enthusiasm is just about

Years, suddenly Disappears.
SKowuEGAN, Me. March l9.--Two weeks
ago Skowhegan did not contain more re-
spected citizen than Edward Il. Coffin,
junior partner in the firm of Merrill g.
Colin, attorneys and counselors-at-law
Today the where abouts of the junior part
ner are a mystery. and the scandal con-
nected with his name is on every lip.
Everybody supposed that Coffin was a
single man, of a character above reproach,
and he was paying marked attention to
some Of the best young ladies Of the town
The public, therefore, was astonished
when il was announced that for seven
years Coffin had been n married man and
that mis- wife lived on the same street with
himself, with not n single outside party to
even suspect the relation existing between
them.
The denouement came early last week.
On Tuesday Coffin told his law partner,
Mr. Merrill, fhc story of his marriage. Be-
fore he left the Office the firm partnership
had been dissolved. On Saturday Coffin
left town, and not word has been heard
IA to his whereabouts.
Ii is said that he offered his wife 5000 to
consent To the indefinite concealment OF
their true rela tions, but to no purpose
Since Collins departure she has made no
move
Amid all the talk that is being made
over the affair, rumors are thick that
various transgressions can be laid at COT
fins door Of questionable habits that have
involved him in several serious situations.
That Coffin will never appear to prove the
. falsity OF these statements Is the belief of
the townspeople whom he has so uncere-
moniously left
