Hill takes the same course that he did in

made a mistake at that time. Had he
not done as he did in '96 he, himself.

Mr.. VerrilI Makes Few Remarks

Quick and decisive was the action of
the Joint caucus of the Democrats of
South Portland and Cape Elizabeth called
for the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for the state Legislature.
The caucus was held last evening at
the hose house in KnightviIle and was
called to order by Hiram Dyer, with
George II. Weeks as secretary.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and nominations were then
order. Howard E. Dyer presented the
name of EIgin G. Verrill, and Mr.. Weeks
seconded the nomination. There was
no other name offered and Mr.. Verrill
was unanimously nominated.
Mr.. Verrill, who was present, accepted
the nomination and IN his remarks said
that he esteemed il an honor TO be the
standard bearer of Democracy, for he
thought this was u Democratic year. He
criticized the administration of President
Mckinley and was of the opinion that
the seeming prosperity of the country was
fictitious in that all the money was drift
ing into the hands of the few. Instead OF
looking out for the interests of our peo-
pie the tendency was to hunt up barba-
rians in remote lands and inf1ict upon
us a system of militarism not in accord
with the spirit Of the our Constitution.
Mr. Verri1ps speech was well received
and at its close the caucus adjourned.
