According TO the best evidence to be Oh
tanned the local Democracy are entirely of
their base when they claim that DR.. Charles
Chaplin WAS the last Democratic representa-
tive elected from Brattleboro." The fact Of
it is that until this year there never WAS any
last or first Democratic representative
sent TO the Legislature from this town. DR..
OOnland Is the first one ever elected and will
undoubtedly be the last one II Is true
that Dr. Chaplin was elected to represent the
town IN s33 but be was chosen as = Wing and
served TIN town az a Wing and it was not
till 1896, in the Van Buren, campaign, that he
went over 10 the Democrats In that year
there was a sort Of landslide" of prominent
Brattleboro Wings over to the Democracy,
and Dr. Chaplin, Joseph Steen, Asa Keyes,
Paul Cnase, Mai Smith and Capt. Samuel
Root we're among the number. DIR. Chaplin
and some Of the others Btaid in the Demo
cratic ranks while they lived, but Mr.. Steen
and some others came back in 80 IN the
Harrison campaign, and Asa Reyes and the
rest we're never thorough converts and came
into the Republican ranks rs war Demo
