"wE TOLD YOU So 4"

1--WE TOLD YOU sO,"
Well, are the ringsters satisfied
now Months ago when told that
Fuller was an unfit and unpopular
candidate, and warned not to force
him on the people, the professional
bosses chinked his money in their
pockets, grinned and went on with
their caucus-packing work, as per
contract and pay, regardless of the
plainly foreseen and foretold conse-
quences. And now they've got it in
the neck, and no mistake !! 1t is a
shameful record for Vermont to make,
and done in sheer recklessness and
wantonness. Instead of an example
and encouragement to other states, it
is an ice cold wet blanket that sends
cold shivers down the back of all hon
est republicans, and makes the work
of electing Benjamin Harrison ten
times harder all over the country.
Today, republicans all over the land
are damning Vermont, instead of
singing her praises, as usual. And
all because Levi Fuller with the
money that Deacon Estey (may his
weary bones rest in peace) made for
him, and by the aid of hirelings, has
forced himself into place he is in
every way unfit for, in spite of the
protests of the great mass of the
party. The result is small vote and
a much smaller majority as compared
with Dillingham's four years ago.
Why right here in Brattleboro, which
has been raked with fine tooth
comb as never before, there are from
800 to 400 good republicans who
could not be coaxed nor hired nor
driven to the polls to vote for Levi
Fuller, and more than as many more
that did vote for him who shut their
eyes and held their noses while doing
the disagreeable act. They know
him There are 1850 to 1900 repub-
licans in this town, less than 800 of
whom voted for Fuller for he got,
"by ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, as many as seventy
five democratic votes. Dillingham;,
stranger, received 1902 votes in
Brattleboro, all republican, four years
ago, while Fuller, not a stranger
(more's the PITY gets less than 800
republican votes And so in this
county, aud apparently all over the
state, there is net loss in the republi-
can majority of 80 per cent or more.
A pretty showing this, and all to
force an unworthy and unfit man in
to the governors chair Why, with
the same relative loss elsewhere, the
republicans cannot carry single
state in the Union for Benjamin
Harrison ! And this after pouring
out money and the importation of
distinguished orators as never before
A fine inspiration to other states
truly ! Why there isn't a hardwork-
ing republican in the close states any.
where, if he understands the cause Of
our disaster here, who isn't cursins
Levi Fuller today But the cause
must be explained, and the least pos
sible excuse made for our humiliatine
position. Vermont is as strongly re-
publican today as ever, and with
suitable candidate would easily have
given more than 0,000 majority yes
terday. Too much money and tot
much bossism has foored us; ant
either bossism OF the republican part,
in this state must die. Which shal
it be ? Another dose as nauseatin;
as that we have just gulped dow
would be fatal, and Vermont woult
cease to be republican state an(
don't you TO get it
PEEPING Tom.
