Republican forces this year, he hasn't 1
any heutenants in Randolph. Saturdays

decade-proved this conelusively. The !,
people turned out in great numbers and
stayed until the band played the last
time, giving the speakers, who occupied
nearly three hours time, the closest atten- |
ton and frequently responding with APP
plause. The beautiful weather helped TO
make the event the success il was.
Previous to the speaking, handsome
new Roosevelt and Fairbanks nag, lsx27,
was swung out over Main street in Depot

II got hold of the Boston papers yester-
dav and read with surprise what ex-
senator Hill had said concerning Presi-
DENT Roosevelt. Hill called him fraud
because he had accepted a denomination
after promising not to do 50 when ne
took the oath OF Office at Buffalo following
McKinley's death. Now ! was present
