He suggested that the officers elected at the previous meeting take seats on the stand. The chairman gave the invitation, and Messrs. W. D. Cassin, Joseph L. Simin’ and James Goddard, viee presidents, took seats on the platform. Mr. Joseph L. Simms was called on, and expressed himself in favor of the movement, and charged that the valuable water power here Low going to waste, and said that capitalists would not invest w: they wonld have no ybiee in the government.
