Out of the whole 1,500 voters ju Stratford not one man comes forward to substantiate the statements hinted at by these paltry cowards. Mayor Butler has resided here since he was lU or 11 years of age, and there are hun. dreds residing here now who knew him 35 years ago, and who know that his name has been and is the same that it was previous to locating here.
