I quick, for 50. 10. Democrats will h. used

Albert r. Thompson of So. Barton,
who is 80 years of age and almost blind,
had interest enough To come down here
on election day and cast his vote for

the democratic friends.
During the shower on Tuesday night
the large and beautiful democratic flag
which was suspended over the park, fell
to the ground and lay in the mud and
water all night. 1t was in a sorry con-
dition. We learn that the democratic
flag at Newport and the democratic flags
at St. Johnsbury and Bradford met with
the same fate. 1t almost seems that the
flags were conscious of the fate of the
party leaders.
Some weeks since, a certain friend of
one of the parties came into this office
and besought US with great persistency to
publish a report that reflected on the
character OF one Drew and Mrs. Ernest
Partridge of Glover. Now some of the
citizens of that town, on whose state
ments we have right to rely, inform US
that they know nothing against the char
acter of Mrs Partridge, land they think our
informant was laboring under a great
mistake, or a certain condition of feeling
which made the report wrong and scan
dalous.

airs, and the cannon was loaded to its
loudest.

engagement with the Cong. church yes
terday, preaching a very able sermon on
the Fatherhood of God, which, like so
many of his sermons, showed his
broad and progressive views. Mr.. Gates

Bailey c.. Miles has been one of our
most enthusiastic republicans, but-a
little deaf-has not always been able to
defend himself in talking politics. When
he thought his enemies too obstreperous
he has silenced them by offering to put up
money on the result. Several of them
have bet him and are now regretting
their folly. If you see Bailey round with
Il plug hat you may know how it happened.
