CaueusNs Tomorrow.

Calls have been issued for caucuses
to be heid to morrow. The republi-
can caucus will be held at Hancock
hall at 2.30 p. m, to nominate a can
didate for mayor, and immediately
following this the ward caucuses of
wards /, 2, and will be held at the
same place.
The caucus of ward will be held at
Agricultural hall, North Ellsworth, at
Sp. m.
The democratic caucuses will be
held at Hancock hall tomorrow
evening.
The board of registration will begin
its sessions next Tuesday. Evening
sessions will be held Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday to accommodate
voters who cannot present themselves
during the day.
Up to date but little interest has
been manifested in the coming NUM-
cipal campaign, but after the caucuses
tomorrow the fight will be ON in
earnest, the lines drawn, and the
issues discussed.
It is probable that the republicans
will renominate the present board,
with possibly change or two in the
list of aldermen. But If any change
is made, it will not be because of any
lack of satisfaction with the retiring
members. The present board has
worked throughout the year in the ut
most harmony, and the results of their
work are, in general way, already
well known; the printed report, soon
to be issued, will simply confirm this.
The present administration has
given the city of Ellsworth a clean,
vigorous and economical years work.
With the funds it has had at it's com
mand, it has done all that could be ex-
pected, and has done it well.
The matter of collections has
been feature especially deserving of
commentator.

A Unique Record.

The terms of service of Names
senators are unique. On March both
will have completed thirty three years
in Congress, both Senate and House,
Mr.. Hale entered the House March
4. 1869, and Mr.. Frye was elected and
began service in the House March 4,
1871. Mr.. Hale was not a member OF
the Forty sixth Congress, but Mr..
Frye was.
Mr. Hale succeeded Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin in the Senate March 4, 1881,
but Mr.. Frye continued to be a MEM
Der of the House till March IS of the
same year, when he succeeded Mr..
Blaine, who entered President Gar
fields cabinet as secretary of state.
Mr.. Hale, therefore, has had four
teen days. more service in the Senate
than has Mr.. Frye, and Mr.. Frye has
had fourteen days more service In the
House than has Mr.. Hale, but the
aggregate service of each is the same
to q day.

LOYAL to the President.

Those who for some months past
have been using the name of the late
Senator Hanna to conjure with, as a
weapon for the discomforture of pos
sible defeat of the nomination of
President Roosevelt for the Presi-
dency, now declare that the senator's
death was "inopportune", which is
virtually confession of their intsn-
tions and wishes.
1t is now known that Senator
Hanna was loyal to President Roose-
welt, as he was to all of his friends,
although he may have doubted the
wisdom of some of the Presidents
policies, just as Senator Hoar did not
always agree with President MoKin-
ley.
The death of the great Ohio senator,
so widely lamented, has hushed all
opposition to the President, at least
within his own party, and he has little
to apprehend from democratic oppo-
sition since that party is all at sea for
issues, rent by many assures, with no
policy and no candidate.
Thus far, out of some forty dele I.
gates chosen for the convention at
Chicago, thirty-six have been in
structed to vote for President Roose-
welt. The suggestion that Robert T.
Lincoln may be candidate for the
vice presidency is merely the after
glow of admiration for the great Lin
coin.
Nor is it at all likely that any mem
