Jackson Campbell, one of our most

health for some time, he was able to
be about until within a day or two.
Mr.. Campbell was IA years old and
has lived in this town nearly all of
his life, coming here from New Hamp-
shire when a child. He has held va
rious town offices in all of which he
faithfully and conscientiously per-.
formed his duty. He is survived by
several brothers and sisters and two
children, the latter being Herbert
Campbell, of st. Johnsbury, and Mrs.
Alma Campbell, of New Hampshire.

The result of the election for Rep
resentativein this town is as follows
Whole vote, 361; V. d. Fitch, 224;
VA. Gilmore. 1872; L. E. Harrington,
2: A. p. Smalley, l; c. E. Billiard,
i; Lizzie Fitch, /. From this it will
be seen that Mr.. Fitch is elected by
large majority. Mr.. Fitch has been
one of the most ardent Republicans
and ultra Prohibitionists the town
ever had. The Farmers League NOM
mated him and our high-license Dem
ocratic friends, knowing they could
not elect a man of their own stamp,
endorsed the nomination. Many OF
the Old-time Republicans in the town
felt entirely Indifferent as to whether
Gilmore or Fitch won and staid at
home Forty-two less voters came
to the polls than in 1886. OF course
the Democrats made the most of their
opportunity by trading Democratic
votes for Fitch in exchange for Repub-
hcan league votes for Brigham
1t was exceedingly amusing to see
the hob-nobbing between Prohibi-
ZIONIST Fitch and our high-license
Democrats on Tuesday last. OF all
the men in town whom they have
hated with a sincerity and heartiness
for % years Fitch took the lead.
Verify the stone which the builders
rejected has become the chief of the
(Democratic) cornerw We have no
doubt but that Mr.. Fitch will vote
right upon all the questions at issue,
and unless he forgets himself no man
will be surer to vote against Demo-
cratic measures this fall than he. He
is a good farmer and a good citizen
and when the new-fangled political
ideas that are now rampant shall
with greenbackism, prohibitionism
and other isms have passed away, he
will undoubtedly find his old-time an
imosities to Democracy and Demo-
cratic ideas will as naturally as the
sparks fly upward carry him back to
his Republican moorings.
There was a good attendance at
the Republican caucus, Friday night,
and much interest was manifested in
the selection of candidate for Rep
resentative. The informal ballot
showed Al votes cast, OF which l.. b.
Harrington received 81, V. A. Gil
more 10, and the rest, eight scatter
ing. On the next ballot 90 votes
were cast, Harrington receiving II,
