STOCKTON. At the election. on Monday, VIM.
Griffin was chosen Moderator; Edwin ecgur,
Clerk; Alexander Staples, Oliver Fletcher. and +.
IL. Crocker, Selectmen; True Green, Collector and
Treasurer; John q. Bowen, and Lyman Partridge
School Supervisor; VIM. Hopkins, Town Agent.
The first three officers named are republicans-thc
rest are Democrats. Party lines were drawn and
Il square fight had. But for the detection OF por-

been chosen. We feel certain that on reflection
these gentlemen will regret their course. The
spirit, determination and thorough organization OF
the Democrats of Stockton has always been admir-
able, and we have often alluded to them is models
their opponents.
