MAINE LEGISLATURE.

Mr.. SIMPSON,: What state was he Il
resident Of four years ago.

Mr.. SIMPSON: What state was he Il
resident Of four years ago.
Mr.. CLARKE: do not know.
Mr.. SIMPSON: He was a resident of
the State of Florida at that time. This
is his profession going around through
the states and raising money for these
purposes.
Mr. CLARKE: Why then is he not a
good man to represent US if he is an
honorable man and accustomed TO that
business" Have you heard a word rails
ed against that mans character, ability
or integrity. For several years he has
been a resident Of my county, and is
chairman of the Board of Trade Of DAM
ariscotta and Newcastle and he is 4
man who receives at the hand of every
citizen of the community the highest
possible respect and esteem. l think
your question ought not to be raised
until you can show that his character
and integrity are in question. When
you impeach those, then you have
grounds for opposing for personal rea-
sons. but until then, l think that you
have pretty narrow grounds on which
to base your proposition.
