We Have Met the Enemy and They
Are Ours.
Victory Perches Upon the Ban
ners OF the Loyal and True.
Honest Democracy Captures a Re-
publican STRONGHOLD and Half
the Enemy.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WooDv1LLE, M. T., Nov. 5, 1884.
We have met the enemy and they
are Ouls!
As I have predicted time and
again, the Democracy of Jefferson
yroved loyal and true and have
worked for victory. There are some
political asplrants in the county un-
princip'ed enough to attempt utter
annihilation to those who do not and
will not favor the narrow-minded
schemes and earnestly support par
ty bred and nurtured in the v:lest
trickery, outrageous frauds and un-
derhanded villainy. They are few,
but persistent in obnoxious writ
ings of good men and their followers.
These cancer spots are not con-
tagious; they are too easily poisoned
and exterminated from political So
ciety by the last contact with truth,
manhood and loyalty.
So tar as heard from the county
has stood faithfully by Democratic
principles, voted honestly for good
men and elected them.
AT WOODVILLE
over one hundred men cast their
votes yesterday and nearly one
hundred more would have done 80
had they any means of reaching the
town without walking.
Outside OF the usual strife to secure
votes for friends the election was
quiet. Very much excitement was
manifested in a halt serio.comic way
but no puailistic demonstrations
marred the harmony of the sensible
and we'll behaved people.
Excepting one cons table and the
road supervisor the entire Democrat
ic ticket was elected.
RADICAL STRONGHOLD
This was the more remarkable as
everv Republican had stated, re-
marked, iterated and swore il was
Republican camp by three to one.
I acknowledge it and vii! endorse
the assertion but with the gratifying
knowledge that major portion of
them are intelligent, conscientious.
and scrupulously honorable men who
cannot longer endure the stigma of
reproach cast upon the leaders of Re-
publicanism and knowing the inn
purity of every motive. the Unfair
ness of every action and the contami-
nation attached to this lately powerful
army of perfidious cOrmorants, these
men of noble thought and pure am
bition cast their votes for flawless
men of integrity, thus forever throw
ing off the yoke of an unmanly and
unbearable bondage. This act in
itself is a bitter rebuke and scathiDg
repr0ach to the party SO leng in
power but now passing into the dim
past, leaving naught but sorrc wful
and humiliating memory.
WOODvILLE IS REDEEMED

ognized as bright star in the great

racy.
