with large audience more than half of

called to order by G. II. Jenness, who

them.

The editor of the Press desires to
thank the voters of Pleasantvllle for the
magnificent compliment paid him ut the
polls. Without personal solicitation,
without the expenditure OF dollar to
corrupt the suffrage Of a single voter,
with party lines tightly drawn in a
presidential year, he has overcom' an
adverse majority of al last year and
changed it TO majority OF ~ in his
favor. This is not party victory In
the general meaning of that term, but a
rebuke to ring methods on the part OF
the Republican party that found vent in
voting for the editor OF this paper.
The s.sell OUT OF l.. ii. Barrett at the
Republican County Convention was re
sented by multitude of his friends who
would listen to no compromise but
voted in spite of every entreaty for
Jenness and Barlow. The following is
