There was q large attendance at the
democratic rally Saturday evening. The
speakers were J. P. Pigott and NJ. O. Nc
Getterick of Vermont. The committee had
bad luck in its choice for presiding officer.
as at first. g. s. Yale was advertised as
chairman, but he declined the honor and
q. 81. Tbbitts was announced to be the
opened B. A. Treat appeared as chair
man and announced that owing
to an unexpected summons away
Mr.. Tibbitts would not be able to preside.
The best of the story is that Mr.. Tibbitts
was in the hall at the time, but wisely pre-
ferred to remain near the entrance for the
short time he remained. The meeting
lacked the old time democratic enthusiasm,
although the speakers received some sp-
plause at different points of their speeches.
The meeting will not tend to increase the
democratic majority in this town or in
crease Pigott's chances for election to con-
| gress.
