The question has been asked, when
was Stafford represented on the state
ticket? 1t has never been represented
by the republicans. It has been rep
resented twice by the democrats-in
1850, when Rufus G. Pinney was
elected comptroller, and in 1867,
when Ephraim 81. Hyde was elected
lieutenant governor. The custom. fol-
lowed in other towns, by both repub-
licans and democrats, of giving COM
plimentary vote to candidate of the
opposite party, will doubtless be
recognized to some extent in the case
of Candidate Freeman f. Patten for
the important position of state treas
urer. Stafford should be proud Of a
representation on the state ticket. In
matters concerning the towns growth
the last year the candidate in question
has rendered valuable assistance.
