The Democrats of Woodstock made
gallant fight yesterday and are de-
serving of all praise Their devotion
to their candidate for Town Repre-.
sentative surpasscs anything ever
known in local politics. This is the
way to have party. When You set
up man for office stick to him to the
last, and invite your opponents to take
hand with you. In this way. if you
arc not successful, you command re-
spcct, and are better prepared 10 cope
with the enemy next time. As the
late Horace King said about the fox, if
we didn't get the enemy, 1--WE gave
him IA good doggiug," and consider it Il
victory for our side. On Tie start
there were three candidates for Town
Representative in the feld-George w.
Paul, William +. johnson and Charles
II. English, and had they not changed
to George b. French on the 9th ballot
we would be voting now. All honor to
the Democrats, Independents and
"kickers." for the "sand" they showed
on this occasion. 1t is u victory for
the Democracy.
