Mr. c. N. Trefethen, the Republican town
committee met Saturday night Fat 8. 80
in a room in the Union Opera house,
and the following members were present.
c. N. Trefethen, chairman: Geo. f. Hen
ley, Capt A. d. Boyd, III. e. Cash, J.
T. Chaplin, A. A. Cole, W. L. Brad
ford, Fred HI. Loveitt and Freeman Jose.
Mr.. Trefethen called the meeting to or
der, and referring to the last Republican
in the Town hall, reiterated his
statemen contained in recent issue of
the Press, and dwelt upon the unfair
method which had been resorted to in the
selection of delegates and thought that
it was the duty of the committee to take
some action in the matter.
A discussion followed which was par
in by Capt. Boyd, Mr.. Bradford
and several others, in which particular
stress was laid on the practice of four
years ago, and which was in vogue at the
last convention, of allowing Democrats
to vote at a Republican caucus, which
threw the door open to the Irregularities
of by Mr.. Trefethen.
This seemed to be the unanimous opin.
ion of all present and it was the sense
of the committee that measures be taken
to prevent a recurrence of the methods
which have OF late prevailed in Republican
caucuses in South Portland.
1t had been rumored before the meet
ing of the committee that its action
would result in the calling of new eau
Gus, but such was not the case
