Republicans Think They Are Sure of All
| but Two of the Wards.
The municipal election in ID eering this
year promises to be the most exciting and
in many ways the most complicated one
ever held by the citizens of Deering. This
year the Republicans have political OPP
ponents in the field and the Democrats
claim they will make good showing.
Deering however, has been SO strongly
Republican the last few years that Ire
publicans predict victory for their ticket
by good and substantial majority
AS the matter stands it is difficult to
predict with any degree of certainty the
result of the vote on annexation. The en-
thusiastic supporters of annexation, how
ever, are confident of success even though
they admit that the majority may be
smaller than it would have been had the
question been settled aside from the
municipal election. On the other hand
the anti forces are claiming the battle,
although their former prediction of being
able to carry the question by majority
oil. 5 to has been narrowed down now to
claim of mere majority.
With reference to the candidates for
I1lQiiiCtpfhl OllCC IL CftI tSliAOSb bc pE6QlCu-
ed that the board this year will be an en-
tirely new one, unless the friends of
aldermen Lane, Republican, of Oakdale
and Seal Republican, Of Deering Center,
are able TO return them. There is hot
fight on in both these wards. The bal
anoe of the board will probably be elected
as follows: , .a
Ward one. John J. Frye, Republican,
nominated on an independent ticket and
endorsed by the Democrats,
Ward two, Simeon Tracy, Democrat.
Ward three, doubtful.
Ward four, George Smith, Republican.
Ward five, hanson S. Clay, Republican.
Ward six, doubtful.
Ward seven, Walter Pickett, Republi-
can.
Of the aldermen at large, Messrs. e. II.
Hanson, Elias NJ. Jacobs and George I'll.
Wyman Republicans, and Chas. Dunn, Jr.
Democrat, are looked upon as winners.
For school committee the Republican
nominees, Rev. E.,P. Wilson, George B.
Jacobs and George W. Grose are practi-
callv sure of an election.
The balance of the ward tickets with
the exception of ward two, the only Demo-
cratic ward in the city, will doubtless re-
main Republican by large maJorities.

THE LATE PELATIAH II. WHITE.
HOUSE.

4
HOUSE.
At meeting of the Portland Wholesale
Grocers and Flour Dealers association
held Saturday afternoon the following
preamble and resolutions on the death of
Pelatiah H. Whitehouse were unanimous
ly adopted:
Portland, Me-, March 5, 1885,
But little more than three years have
passed since this association assembled in
remembrance, and to do honor to the
memory Of III. Ell. Nevens, manager of the
H. III. Nevens company. Today, we are
again called together to perform the
same sad Office fo> another member of the
same house, Pelatiah H. Nhitehouse,
who succeeded the late FL. II. Nevens as
manager, and who passed away yesterday
afternoon, after an illness of several
weeks. A man of quiet habits and unos-
tentatious life, some among US may not
have had that intimate acquaintance
with him that we might have had, and,
perhaps should have had under different
conditions. Those who enjoyed an inti-
macy with the deceased bear unsolicited
testimony to his sterling worth and high
integrity rs q man in his social and bust
ness life, qualities which leave a lasting
impression on the minds of the associates
of one who has gone before. When the
final call has come there is but little we
can do further than to put ourselves on
record as witnesses to worth, and it is
therefore resolved:
That we are mindful in the death of
Pelatiah H. Whitehouse of the loss Of a
good citizen, pleasant companion. and
worthy member of our body.
Resolved, That the business corporation
with which he was connected, and of
which he was the executive officer, has
our sympathy in the removal of it's asso-
ciate.
Resolved, That we extend to the family
connections of the deceased our sympathy
in this hour of their sorrow.
Resolved, That copy of these resoiu-
tions be transmitted to the family connec-
tions, and to the corporation. and that
they be spread upon the records.
