participar nunha campaña electoral

EN It is true, an old farmer, who had been down to New York on a visit several years after, and from whom this account of the ghostly adventure was received, brought home the intelligence that Ichabod Crane was still alive; that he had left the neighborhood, partly through fear of the goblin and Hans Van Ripper, and partly in mortification at having been suddenly dismissed by the heiress; that he had changed his quarters to a distant part of the country; had kept school and studied law at the same time, had been admitted to the bar, turned politician, electioneered, written for the newspapers, and finally had been made a justice of the Ten Pound Court.
GL Cómpre dicir tamén que un vello granxeiro, que estivo en Nova York uns cantos anos despois, e por quen se coñece esta historia fantástica, volveu á casa traendo novas de que Ichabod Crane seguía con vida; que marchara da aldea en parte por medo ó espectro e a Hans Van Ripper, e en parte tamén pola humillación que lle supuxo o feito de o rexeita-la herdeira de Van Tassel. Dicía tamén que se trasladara a un lugar afastado da rexión, que traballara de mestre e estudiara Dereito ó mesmo tempo; que se licenciara e que despois exercera a política, participara nunha campaña electoral, escribira para algúns xornais e, finalmente, fora elixido xuíz dun modesto tribunal administrativo.
