DEMOCRATIC CAUC USES.
Delegates to Three Conventions Elected
Last Evening.

Last Evening.
The Democratic ward caucuses were
held last evening to elect delegates to
attend the district convention to be held
at Alfred next Tuesday, the county con-
vention to be- held in this city on Tues
day. and the legislative convention to be
held at a date to be later fixed.
Considerable interest is manifested
over the result of last nights caucuses
ON account of the bearing that the Demo-
cratic delegates OF Portland are likely to
have on the nomination. Some of the
delegates favor and others oppose the en-
dorsement of Rev. S. f. Pearson. the
prohibition nominee. All indications are
that by the time the convention is held
there viii be lively contest over this
question.
Ward showed little excitement.
George L. SWEET the postmaster, made
a motion that committee be appointed
to choose list of delegates. But this
motion was voted down at the suggestion
Of Enooh w. Hunt, who favored the en-
dorsement of Rev. S f. Pearson as can
didate for. sheriff. Mr.. Hunt moved chat
the delegates be elected from the floor
and his motion prevailed. The delegates
win probably support Pearson.
