The following town officers were elected ;

The republicans were divided in regard to
supporting the old board of Selectmen which
were put in nomination. The feeling with
very many was strong, and they voted the
ticket put forward by the greenbackers AMI
democrats Us non-partisan. For many
wears past there has hcen q demecra. 81; ;ssid
board. This election, through division of
the republicans. places on the board demo-
crat and greenbacker, or two greenbackers
or two democrats, we can't say which, and
we know of no one who can inform us or
make the distinction any way clear. Report
has it that one of our young democratic rel
resentatives says he is II greenbacker on all
except the money question. In these day
of reform, there are nice shades OF distinction
which only those seeking nomination for
some Office can appreciate. In fact il :here
were none of these places to fill, we SHOULD
hear nothing about greenbackers.
