Fairfield Whigs Triumph Before Dimocratic Festivities
In Reflector from Hiinfield dated Nov 30 1844, a long critique declares the 1844 election a Whig defeat but not a collapse. It blames Locofoco tactics for Polk’s victory, mocks Democratic revelry in Fairfield with "Dimocratic Gun" and lavish toasts, and asserts Whig resilience. It also notes carpet weaving tech and loom innovations, and reports the Shelby county prize banner for Whig vote gains.
