motions PLAYED the bones with a great

Reception 10 MIR. Lewis.
On Wednesday evening the towns
people gathered at the Methodist parse
mage to celebrate the election of Rev. S.
6. Lewis, republican candidate for the
legislature. The house and grounds had
been very prettily trimmed with flags
and bunting and were well illuminated
by a bonfire, numerous lamps and japa-
nese lanterns. The Marshfeld orchestra
furnished very acceptable music through
out the evening. When all were gathered
DR.. c. L. Libbey with few words in
PRODUCED Mr.. Lewis who said in part:
Fellow citizens, ladies and gentlemen:
1t is with great pleasure that greet you
here tonight, and desire to express my
profound gratitude to my fellow citizens
for the great honor that you have seen
fit to confer upon me, and consider the
move remarkable when | think of the
short time that | have been a citizen of
your town. There are two or three
things that | want to say in regard to
the present canvass for your representa-
tive which in some respects | think has
been unique one. First it has been
pleasant canvass from beginning to end.
Second, it has been a clean canvass and
one in which your candidate has been
elected, without his having asked man
for a single vote or expended a cent of
money. Again, have not for a moment
lost faith in my fellowmen. When great
questions are at stake | have always
found that the people of Vermont have
been ready to speak, and without casting
any reflection on the candidate of the OPP
posing party, the voters of Danville said
and said it with emphasis, we do not
want to see the open saloon on any
street in any town in our nation.
Harvey Burbank then made a very
pleasing speech on the issues of the ma
tional campaign illustrating his remarks
with pointed anecdotes after which all
were invited to partake of the bountiIul
that had been provided.
Danville is noted for its hospitality and
on this occasion under the experienced
direction OF Charles Thurber it did itself
proud. One hundred cakes, 1900 sand
witches and barrel OF hot coffee served
on the tables under the trees presented a
most pleasing appearance. The best
estimate obtainable placed the number
present at 500. After some time spent
in listening to the orchestra and in social
intercourse, all went home, thus closing
one OF the great political campaigns for
which Danville is noted.
