Do the 500 taxpayers Of this town ap-
preciate the worth, wisdom, and erudite
oflciousncss of that organ2 I think not.
Didn't the sage editor Of that "great
moral sheet" condecend to tell 500 legal
voters, without being asked, and without
compensation, who they must elect for
first selectman, il the gentleman holding
that office should resign? Didn't he
farther state, "there was no one that
could I'LL that place, and it would be very
detrimental and hazardous to loose the
services of that board-especially the
first officer" where SO many thick.skulled
ignoramouses were allowed to talk and
vote
Since the election hasn't the wiseacre
Of the Standard voluntarily and without
compensation, told the stupid legal voters
how "unwise and discreditable" they
acted In town meeting-how very au-
dacious and presumptious they appeared
before him, to even talk upon establish
ing a fixed price that the officers should
receive hereafter
Oh We perverse, foolish, stif-necked
legal voters of Woodstock, why don't ye
heed the wisdom and warnings proffered
through my Oracle "Great is Diana,
