Town Meeting.

The annual town meeting was hcll
in Coburn hall. Monday. The meet
ing lasted nearly all day and much
interest was manifested throughout
the whole affair. a considerable eX
citement was caused over the election
of town officers for the ensuing year
There seemed no reason for this eX-
| cept that any town sometimes likes
the idea of change and will, there
fore, have one. The meeting was pre-
sided over by L. L. Walton. DE-
Charles V. Richards was chosen town
clerk in place of George 5. Webb. who
has filled that position for the past l.
year. Levi {. Emery was elected first
selectman, having served in this ca
pacity 10 years. A movement was
made by the Democrats to depose Mr.
Emery and John r. Gage was opposed
to him. The vote stood 307 to 296 in
favor Of Mr.. Emery. For some years
there has been but little party feeling
in selecting man for this office, but
now that this spirit is revived there
is sure to be an unusual excitement in
this respect for some years. Ordina-
rily there has been little opposition and
some POO or 800 votes only would be
cast in selecting the selectmen. This
year, however, the COS votes cast rep
resented the largest vote for the office
that has been cast in many years.
Nearly as much excitement was caus-
ed by the selection of the second Sc
lectman. There We're three candidates
John II. Gage, Il. f. Parker and George
L. Nay. The first vote failed to elect,
but a second gave Mr.. Parker the posi-
ton by a small majority. William d.
Bradbury was choen third selectman
on the first ballot by large majority.
He had two opponents. George f.
Sampson was reelected town agent.
The meeting was then adjourned un-
til afternoon. At 80 o'clock, the meet
ing was re-opened by Moderator Wal
