was filled with the representative men
of the State, and their work was done
in a manner that reflects high credit
upon the gathering. and the great par
ty whose sentiments it voiced. The
caucus WIS marked by an exceptional
display of party loyalty and harmony,
by unusually eloquent and brilliant
nominating speeches by the ablest men
of the two bodies. and by the selection
of men in every instance eminently
qualified for their respective positions.
The 10Th Legislature will do itself hon
or. today, to endorse the nominations
made, last evening, for the important
State offices.
Following the custom which has
made Maine so potent in the councils
of the nation, and which has so well
protected the best interests of the
State in it's administrative depart
ments and office, the caucus honored
with retention in office or with promo
ton. our faithful public servants. No

treasurer, as councillor and in other
positions of honor and responsibility.
Hon. Oramandal Smith. as State treas
urer will have the confidence of every
citizen, for his integrity and ability
have been amply demonstrated in nu

liant member of the Cumberland bar,
Hon George NJ. Seiders, as attorney
