There Were Lively Times at the DEM
ocratfc Cnucus-The Ticket rs NOM
tnated-Personal Notes.
The democratic caucus In the town hall
last evening proved TO be one of the old
fashioned kind, and at times Hight have
been more properly termed "a oireus,"
with N O. Csllahagn as ring master and @.
E Smith as clown. There was q very
large attendance, and at 8 O'Clock the meet
ing was called to order by B. A. Treat and
Michael o. Callahagn was chosen chairman
and ]. G. Phelan clerk. 1t was voted that
the nominations be made by reclamation,
aud the plan was carried out with success
until 1t came to nominate for assessors,
when Charles E. Smith wanted to nemi-
Fowler presented the name of W. B. Hall
and F. F. Youpgs the name of J. a. Fran
els. Judge Fowler thought as there was
60 many candidates thst ballot would be
the fairest way to decide the business. @.
E. Smith made speech and a motion to
rescind the vote taken ut the opening of
caucus to nominate by reclamation. This
he vigorously opposed the motion. The
motion was put and lost, and Thomas
Doonan was nominated for first assessor.
Judge Fowler presented the name of W.
B. Hall, which was seconded, and O. E.
Smith added an amendment that 81. f.
Halls name be substituted for W. B. Hall.
The amendment was put and overwhelm-
ing defeated, aud w. B. Hall was nomi-
mated. When the nominations for the
board of relief came in order g. Z. Smith
was on his feet again and began a TRADE
of abuse against the present board of re-
lief, which he termed the most despicsble
and contemplate board of men ever got
together, and wanted an entirely new board
nomin Rted. There WAS some lively skirm-
ishipg between Smith and F. f. Young
and others, and for time there was per-
feet bedlsm of voices, come calling on
Smith to shut up, sit down and other
wholesome advioes. After awhile he was
called to order and business again resumed.

town.
About 900, feet of sewer pipe has been
laid In Valley street.
Some of the residents were predicting q
frost for this morning and were preparing
for the same last evening.
A small paper called The Citizen and de-
voted to the temperance cause and more
especially to "no license" was scattered
about the borough yesterday, q copy
being left at every house. Rev. F. E.
Marble is back of the movement
and with other temperance advocates is
working hard to carry no license at the
election on Monday. There are many who
believe in temperance who do not believe
In voting no license, as they honestly be-
lieve that If the town should vote against
license it would not stop the sale of into1-
icatipg liquors here, and that the town
would be out over So, 900 that is now re-
oeived for Licenses each year. Some of the
saloonkeepers openly assert that they shall
vote no license and hope that 1t will pre-
vail, as they can pay several fines for sell
ing without license and then not cost
them as much as it does to pay $500 for a
license. Me1iden tried no license for one
year and never wanted another year of 1t.
