There was a row at the hotel Saturday night between a young man from Gloucester and a young man by the name of McGuigan, from Cedarville but they were parted before anyone was seriously hurt and the crowd soon left for fear of being arrested.

A special train left this place Saturday night at 9.30 to take the Democrats who were to speak here, to their homes, but when the time came to start not a Democrat could be found to go on it. The trouble seems to have been a misunderstanding between the committee and the Railroad company. No place could be secured to hold the meeting and the railroad company was not notified of this fact.
