Editor of the Monitor-We notic'
in the last issue of the Essex County
Herald, in the East Charleston items
that DR. Cushman has recently be-
come democrat for the purpose O.
getting the Post-office of this place
and that he has always voted a re
publican ticket in both state an(
presidential elections has attended
republican caucuses and was at ont
time candidate for delegate to the
state republican convention, etc
The facts are this, that he has never
attended republican town caucuses
never carried republican state o.
presidential ticket in his life; or ha:
ever heard the name of delegate
from the republican party in his be
half, but has for the past three
years advocated democratic princi
piles and is sound democrat to-day
The lamentations are from the few re-
publican friends of the ex-postmastel
here who sympathize with him in his
sad loss, and, as last resort they
force into the printing press faults
and scandalous reports thinking per
haps it may benefit him in the future
