S. c., Woodstock, Vt.
The members of the Cleveland and
Hendricks Club are requested to meet
at their room Saturday evening next
at Z o'clock to close the business Of the
Campaign. The treasury is full o.
and the dividend among the members
will be immense; consequently we
expect a full attendance.
Running a campaign is not as easy
or as safe as sliding down hill on o
Goldfish, yet the campaign in Woodstock
has been run very successfully, and we
return sincere thanks to all who con-
tributed in any way to make it SO.
There is one young man,. Mr.. Amos
Head, an officer in the club, who is
soon to take up his residence in Boston,
which we regret very much, to whom
the Democracy of Woodstock are in
debted for their beautiful flag which
has been the admiration of all who
have passed under it, as it waved
gracefully across Elm street during the
campaign. Mr.. Head, rs a member
of the executive committee of the
Cleveland and Hendricks club, took it
upon himself-nO small task, either
to solicit subscriptions for the same.
He went about it in such quiet and
gentlemanly way that he was successful,
with liberal donation from his owD
pocket, and we all had the proud salts
faction of seeing the handsomest flag
during the campaign that ever hoated
in the breeze in this place. The De-
mocraty of Woodstock will long re-
member Mr.. Head for his efficient
service in this campaign, and we hope
his lines in the future will fall in pleas
ant places.
The Cleveland and Hendricks club,
at meeting Wednesday evening, voted
to celebrate the election of Cleveland
aud Hendricks by salute of PIC guns
one for each electoral vote received
and supper at Eagle Hotel, Friday
evening. Consequently preparations
were made to ''paint the town red,
and it was done in fine style, consider
ing the short time. At three o'clock
p. m, the flag was run out across
Elm street, Il Bridgewater gun, loud
speaking piece, borrowed for the occa.
sion, opened fire from Church Hill, un-
der experienced gunners, and continued
until SO were fired Then recess OF
about an hour was taken, when firing
was resumed again, with the addition
Of another good-sized gun from Tatls
vile, in charge of Mr.. Bugbee, and by
others from that hamlet. Then the
boys Of the village organized com
pany with a small gun, and the three
guns made the welkin ring without in
PERMISSION until three o'clock Saturday
morning. AT $50 o'clock the spaciou:
dining-room of the Eagle Hotel wa
thrown open and goodly number o
the old and young democracy of tn
town set down to an excellent supper
such as this house is famed for undo
its over quarter Of century landlord
G.. A. Fairbanks. There was no for
mality about it, all joked, told thei
queerest stories, and had a good time
The Woodstock drum corps, assiste
by musicians from other towns, fur
nished music on the occasion, and it i
needless to say that it could not b
beat. After one o'clock brigade {
men and boys took one of the guns an
'serenaded'' several Democrats an
Republicans. Cheers for Cleveland
Hendricks, cheers for each man the
visited, and cheers for this and tina
were given, and they were not col
sumption cheers either. We canno
say that all were pleased with the cele
bration, but we can say that all demo
Gratis were, and no accident occurre
to mar the hilarity and festivity of tn
occasion. t.....s
Somebody in the town of Cheste
has started weekly paper. We ar
glad it is no worse, the man might b
dead, you know.
Some republicans-and even dem'
crats-thought we had our celebrate
rather early. We knew it was earl.
but we have lots of it to do.
