Circulars, headed Democrats At
tenIion," were scattered broadcast
throughout the village last Friday, by
parties evidently ashamed of their
occupation, for they worked under
cover of darkness. These circulars
were pasted on TO houses and stores,
and We're evidently gotten up to create
and engender i'll feeling and strife in
the post Office contest, and unfortun,
ately, succeeded only too well. 1t was
a cowardly and despicabIe thing to
do, and we hope the perpetrators, be
they Republicans or Democrats, will
yet be found out, and if they are, the
ladies who had their houses plastered
over with the bills will see that they
get their just deserts.
