Mr.. EDITOR Again after lapse Of
few weeks | come to greet YOU and your j. .
tslligent readers. | am encouraged to note
the thrift, and progress here as we'll as
elsewhere. In almost every branch of
trade never have l witnessed the time
where individuals OF all classes were so
happy and conlented aud when there was
50 little complaining about the weather,
the crops, the government, and the hund
red and one vexations 80 inciden: to man
kind, and we'll may we take upon us re-
newed courage and spirit Of contentment
when we consider how very near we are to
the time when the old time love and kind
ness will return to many sorrowing fami-
lies and the vines of peace will Chamber
over lately troubled homes. Joy will sing
in all hearts; the mead oi plenty will
crown all worthy endeavora, and religion
Righteousness and virtue will possess the
land.

case are these: Mr.. S. became II candidate
for trustee decidedly against his own wish
es and was not beaten by members of his
own party or by any degree Of fairness by
those OF other party compilations, but by
| the means OF II fusion ticket. To he better
understood will state that there are four
separate and distinct political organza-
tiOns in Webster twr., namely, Republican,
Democrat National and Prohibition. The
two latter, with but few exceptions, were
drawn from the ranks of the Republican
party, hence that party became materially
weakened. Through these causes, coupled

silion on the location Of Town Hall, or

port will have no bearing against Mr.
Stewart, coming as il does from a political
