1t is rare thing in any town to have
town representative chosen by unan-
imous vote, but our representative D. G.
Curtis received a unanimous election in
this town, which, this year is struck with
the greenback mania, and has live
ly sprinkling of democrats.
Some of our late converts in the Bar
low, rag money party, fearing that they
had not faithfully earned the greenbacks
they had already received, sent one of
their number to st. Adams, for further
orders. On his return, glazing posters
were put up in every available place,
announcing that celebrated orator from
Boston, Mass, would give a lecture on
the financial issues of the day, on Mon
day evening. Sept. 2. The popularity
of the speaker brought a large crowd
from this and surrounding towns; but
when the curtain rose the Boston orator
appeared in the guise of Rev. o. S. Bas-
ford, of the Lamoiue Nea0s. The weight
of his argument went to show that rag
baby was better than a genuine article.
because it was easier to take care of, and
cost nothing to feed; but he never once
mentioned the political issue. Basford
was followed by BENZ. Scott of Eden, a
Democrat, who, after unseating President
Hayes and slashing right and left at the
= Republican party, came down with a
grand crash on the head of Geo. w
Waterman, Democratic nominee for con-
gress. He said he was both knave and
fool and did not know enough to do or
, binary business, and ended by exhorting
his Democratic brethren to vote for Bar
low. The Rev. Basford, fearing the
gentleman had over-acted, succeeded in
getting the floor second time, and
dwelt for few moments on the good
time coming when greenbacks should be
flush and Democrats and Republicans
q lions and lambs, should dwell together
in peace.
