A fair-sized crowd Of democratic voters
assemble at the democratic caucus In the
City Hall Thursday evening to elect delegates
to the State and district convention to be
holden at Montpelier May 5. e. NJ. Sutton
of the city committe raped for order, read
the call and nominated as chairman Joel II.
Holton, who was unanimously elected. Be-
fore Mr.. Hoton reached the platform, nj.
f. Sullivan arose and moved that Mayor
Haselton be instructed to appoint demo-
cratic chief of police. Mr.. Sutton SAID that
he was no longer chairman and when Mr..
Holton had taken Off his overcoat he an
noupced that the gentleman was out OF or
der. Business proceeded then and j. X.
Kelley was chosen secretary. Mayor Hasel-
ton explained what the caucus was called
for and moved that the chairman be ON
powered to appoint a committee OF three to
prepare list Of names to be presented to
the caucus for delegates. The motion was
Immediately seconded but before the ques-
ton could bs put j. w. Daley moved to
amend by having the delegates chosen from
the floor of the caucus. The proposed
amendment was defeated by a large MAJOR
ity and tie original motion was carried.
Chairman Holton appointed as such COM
mittee Mayor Seneca Haselton, j. a. Brown
and George l.. LaFountain.
While the committee was deliberating,
Mr.. Holton addressed the caucus. He spoke
OF the aggressive campaigns made by the
young democrats Of Massachusetts, and he
thought if the old men were relegated to the
rear little more in the democratic party
of this State there would be great gains in
its ranks in the next few years. The demo
cratic party should be growing party, and
Mr.. Hoton then spoke of national issues,
referring to Grover Cleveland, whose name
was fesbly cheered.
There were calls for j. J. Enright and
Joel Linsley, the organizer of the club, but
they would not say word for the cause.
At this juncture the committee reported
that they had finished their work and Mayor

According to advices from Ottawa, lumber
men are opposing reimposlton Of the OK
port duty on logs exported 10 tho United

reduction OF tho duty imposed on lumber

her exports last year increased over one
million dollars. It is also claimed that if
an export duty is imposed Canada will have
to pay an increase of $1,000 900 duty on
