Hon. Taos BARTLETT JR., FOR FRE-
MoNT.-Among the prominent Democrats in
this County who have left the ranks Of hnn-
kerism, we are glad to announce the name of
Hon. Thomas Bartlett, Jr., of Lyndon.-
Mr.. Bartlett represented the Fourth Dis
trict under the old apportionment, in Congress,
10 1882. He was elected over Bliss N.
Davis. Esq, the regular Wing candidate by
about one 1000 majority, and while in Con-
gress supported the measures OF the demo-
cratic party. But the Democratic party at
that time, in the North, was playing coquet-
ny with the free sellers, and took almost the
very ground now occupied by the Rapubi-
can party. But having got all that it need
cd by such bargaining it kicked overheard
its free-soi professions and joined hands with
the South nd Slavery. Mr.. Bartlett is one
of the many thousands in the Free State who
would never take that track. He believed in
the resolutions passed by the coaitonists in
1870 and 81, as good Democratic doctrine.
and adheres to them yat. That same doctrine
he fluids in the Republican platform, and
hence takes the only course consistent
Democrat can take, and signifies his inten.
ton to labor and vote for the candi date
Of the Democratic Repubicans-JoHN G.
Fremont. Mr.. Bartlett will speak publicly
at several places in the County before the
September election, and will do effective ser.
vice in rhe cause. Turn out, one and all
) and near his remarks upon the repeal of the
NJ ssouri Compromise, and the rascality anG
inconsistency of the Bogus Democracy geu
eralIy.-Ca1edonian.
