The Hayes & Wheeler Club OF this
ming, believing thar Hayes and Wheeler
Were honestly and legally elected. they
met 10 express their qualification at the re-
suit. II. \. Trip, the President. called the
meeting 10 order and made neat speech,
wherein he showed how the Democrats
practced honesty and reform in the late
campaign, and how near they came TO
cheating the Republicans out of a Uiotory.
He was followed by Hon j. +. Hinckley
who said that the Democrats claimed all
the way from lsj 10 20S votes, but never
the-less they were hunting the country ov.
er for one. He also told how they stuffed
the ballot box in this town; eight were
caught trying TO put in twin and triplet
votes and then they finally got in,soine and
they were there when the box was opened
and were folded so it lef no doubt but
what they were put into the box by one
man. He said the Democrats never have
done one good thing since the Republican
party was formed. and think the meeting
fully agreed with him. with the exception
of Eli Blagdon, who thought that they had
exhibited lot OF first class ROSTERS and
that chicken pie ought to be cheap in con-
sequence. He also thought If the Demo-
Gratis were allowed to come into power for
four years there would not be enough left
OF them for seed in New England.

said that with all the faults of the Repub-
lican party, he loved il still, and that he
stood on the declaration of Independence
