The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-09-09

taken to his home. The physicians, after
consultation, decided that the only hope of
saving his life was to remove him to the
hospital, which they did on the first train
TO Hanover. He was so badly injured that
all help was past, and he died the next
morning. His remains were brought to
Bradford and placed in the tomb on the
Upper Plain on Wednesday. The funeral
and interment occurred on Thursday.
Tuesday, September 1, was day that
will be long remembered by the people of
Bradford, yet the votes showed that large
majority were in favor of moral honesty.
A careful observer could plainly see de-
picted upon the faces of the voters de-
termination to vote as their common sense
and better judgment dictated. One old
voter said: :" do not believe in repudi-
alton, and shall vote as / think best for the
good OF our country, rather than be re.
stricted by party ties or clques who are
trying to control the Bryan party for reve-
nue. only" He thought the wisest course
to pursue was to follow the example of the
republicans when they voted for Hubbard
Wright, the democratic nominee for repre-
sentative. At that time, which was during
the war, Hon. Horace Strickland, radical
republican, rose to his feet at the republican
caucus and nominated Mr.. " right, saying
he knew him to be an honest man, loyal
and true to his country, and he hoped
every voter would support him. With but
few exceptions his party followed his lead.
In L. A. Chase we had a candidate like Mr..
Wright, in many respects. Mr.. Wright,
however, was a wealthy man, while Mr..
Chase works early and late to support his
family. Mr.. Chase was member Of the
legislature from the town Of Jay in 1869,
1870 and 1872, and from Bradford in 1894.
His record shows him to be good and
careful legislator The town committee
deserves credit for the discreet, prudent
and thorough manner in which its men,
bers performed their duties. Although
criticised by few, they kept moving
steadily on. The vote stood 234 for r. A.
Chase, republican, 1876 for Barron Hay, the
Bryan candidate, IL for G.. W. Martin, pro.
hibitionist, and one scattering Mr.. Chase's
majority was &c. The republican justices
were elected by large majority Wedues-
day evening, Co. G Military Band, with
many friends and neighbors, gave Mr..
Chase serenade at his home near the rail-
road station. The grounds were beauti-
fully lighted and decorated with Chinese
and Japanese lanterns, bunting and flags,
and large framed picture of Mckinley oc-
cupied prominent position near the front
entrance. The music and speeches were
enjoyed by the large number present who
gathered to congratulate the successful can.
