The Republicans of this town as
sembled Monday night, and headed
by the Morrisville Cornet Band, !
marched to the place where the Blaine '
and Logan flag has floated through !
the campaign, and amid rousing '
cheers for Blaine and Logan the flag
vas lowered, the band playing appro- il
pirate airs, after which, headed by cit d
isens carrying the flag, the procession Ii
visited many places in the village, a
cheering their friends and their old L
leaders to the echo, followed by deep !
and heartfelt groans for ST. John. J.
Although acknowledging defeat and t
lowering their flag at the will of their
country. they contend that the princi- l
pies for which they fought still float C
onward, and deiantly fling back the {
rebel veil at the south with q good, {
solid, earnest hurrah from the Republi- v
cans of Lamoille. !
MoRRIsvILLE, Vt. Nov. 10. 1884,. :
1t is a self-evident fact that the Prohf- Il
bitiOnists in Morrisville are thoroughly
disguised with themselves. They declared I
the day of election that they were not :
going to throw away their votes; so they =
cast them solid for Blaine, showing clear l
ly to any observing man that tEeT do G
not believe in what they preach. they c
are in favor of having prohibition for .
their neighbors, but none for themselves. .
AS the outlook is to-day, they have not 5
ONLY thrown their votes away, but they
HAVE IlSO EiilONh ~ al NhS q
that the order might have had on future
generations.
The low mu,terings heard i'll the at :
mosphere would indicate that the prOhi- :.
bitiOnlsts were going to retreat into their i.
cellars. place their naked backs against I
the northern wall, and hate themselves |
to death. P. N.-Argus and Patriot. c
sit is a self-evident fact" we think, s
that the majority of Morrisville Pro- [
hibitionists, instead of being ''thor- I
oughly disgusted'' with themselves, {
are only chagrined that a few of their j
number should blindly throw away t
their votes for a candidate who had s
no chances and had been thrust upon {
them at an inoportune time, by unwise t
and injudicious leaders. The few
who voted Cor st. John, contributed,
By example, at least. 10 the downfall
of the Republican party, and can now
ioin hands with their New York and
other brethren who made the work
complete, and draw consolation from
the result if they can. But the ma
jorty of the temperance people Of
this place, moved by wise cOnsidera-
tons rather than blind prejudice, stood
firmly oN the principles anu parry IllaG
has ever encouraged and substantial

and will have the approval of their
friends and co-workers. Had they
taken a contrary course they might

s.P. N" is no doubt a Democrat, and
such a result is doubtless what he
PRAYED for. 1t did not occur. howev-
kr, and we believe instead of haying
thrown away their influence on future
generations, they are in better posi-
ton 10 do efectual work in the future.
They are an element in the Republi-
can party, and wisely saw that they
could ill-afFord to sever the connec-
lion. Had the Prohibitionists through
out the country exercised the same
wisdom and discretion, no st. John
would have been hung in efflgy, no
rebel yell would have come up from
The South, and no Grover Cleveland
