 In April, 1888, he came. east and went to work as a baggagemaster for the N. Y.. N. H. & H. R. R. Co, and by his strict attention to duty and his ability to learn railroad work was ad- vanced rapidly from one position to another until at the present time he holds the position of fire claim agent for Connecticut and New York states, His long term of service with one company indicates that his work and ability were valuable and appreciated by his employers.
 There is no doubt but that he has the ability aand qualifications which would insure the capable handling of the affairs of the SherifFs office in Windham county and if elected there to. he will devote his time to the du- ties of the office and he should receive the support of the electors of the county because the office sought him, he. being the free choice of the con- yention which nominated him with out his having done any campaign work for the place, and while he is a staunch republican, he is broad minded and has the welfare of all classes at heart and has always been noted for his willingness at all times to assist anyone deserving thereof. He is highly respected throughout the county for his sterling qualities, pleas- ing personality, genial and charitable disposition. He is and has always been a strong republican and has for years worked hard for the success of his party and his labors have done much to help the party to it's many past suc- cesses and this should if for no other reason, merit him the solid support of all republicans.
