pyoed the truth of what we said
This refusal e. heed our warning and
follow suggestion made wholly in the
interests Of our party, has resulted ia
| this: The Republican candidate who,
within three years, has been an ayowed
enemy Of the Republican organization
has been elected; while the Republican
candidate who was nominated by accla-
nation without dissenting voice, and
against whose political aud personal
character not al objection has been
made, has been defeated The Demo,
cratic candidate who, Of all the leading
Democrats in this County was the least
Objectionable 10 the Republican party,
has been defeated; while the Demo
cratic candidate who was certainly far
less entitled to the consideration Of our
citizens, has been elected. If our Re
publican friends are satisfied with the
result, we can stand it, But they must
bear us witness that every word we
have said concerning the intentions,
plans and hopes Of Mr. Gardner S
friends, has proved true,
/ We have opposed Mr. Gardner to
the best Of our ability, and having been
badly beaten, we propose to accept the
result with as good grace as possible.
We have at least the consolation Of
knowing that we have made him fair
and an open fight. We have not at
tempted to deceive him by putting his
name at the head Of our columns, and
worked under cover to defeat him.

reasons for our course have from the
very beginning been fully and freely
laid before the people Of this County.
In conclusion, we cannot refrain from
offering a word Of sympathy to oul
former opponents, who doubtless feel
very badly about the election Of Dem
ocrat TO the Vermont Senate. Only {
few days ago, Mr. Gardner's spokes
man was shedding a food Of tears be-
cause there was prospect that the he
publican party would be ruined by TIN
election Of Democratic Senator W.
can at least console ourselves with tn,
reflection that if the principles Of til,
Republican party" have been over
turned aud its flag trailcd in thu
dust" by sending Democrat to th
Vermont Senate the responsibility rest
with the friends Of Mr. Gardner.
