ut was a regrettable incident, that

INDUCED in by one or two Republican
gentlemen, who desired to see me de-
feated, but 1 am glad that over ten
thousand voters of Middlesex County

surfing my election. / might add at
this time, that / did not indulge in
personalities during the campaign, de-
spite the assertions made by Republl-
can orators, whose remarks were pup
lished in the county newspapers. we

Quoted our campaign on the record we
made last winter.
Now that the election Is over, n
pledges or promises can not secure

sung and the guests who attended the
bazar last night are already ac-
