Bucksport and Verona, county of Hancock. State

ic manner the appointment of Joseph L. SWaZey
as deputy collector of customs for the port OF
Bucksport a man who has never been known as
Democrats has always voted the Repunncan m mean
sons, and illuminated his dwelling in honor OF Re
publican victories. Said appointment was made
through the efforts of Thomas a. Swazey and
small clique of Republicans. We regard his ap-
pointment as a Republican triumph and crush
ing defeat to true and faithful Democracy.
Therefore we pledge ourselves to each other
never to vote Democratic ticket at any future
election as long as Joseph l.. Swazey remains IN
said office.
