Malicious Reports Of Mr.. HaskelIs $
Speech Of Acceptance.

Echoes of the Democratic Convention

poned-Work On Cape Cottage Cafe
Items of Personal Interest, Society
Items, Etc.
Reports are being industriously and
maliciously circulated in different sections
OF this town, notably SO in the Pleasant
dale district, that I. B. Haskell, candi-
date for selectman ON the Republican
ticket, in his speech of acceptance before
the convention referred to the Democratic
party rs "party Of mobs and rioters. !"
Mr.. Haskell made no such statement. He
did say in substance, however, that he
could not lend support to that plank in
the Chicago Popocratic platform that pre-
vented executive interference in the sup
preston of mobs, ETC., nor to that other
plank, which endorsed flat money !"
That man of Mr.. Haskell's great ex-
perience and knowledge Of town affairs is
no longer an available candidate before
an ont and out Democratic convention
obviously goes against the grain Of many
of his former political associates and in
their desperate efforts to defeat his cleo.
tion they seem to be resorting to any
thing but fair methods.
