additional delegates to attend the Young Mems Wing
Convention at Baltimore the 4th of May next
As it will be necessary for the delegates who may be
appointed to leave here as early next Monday,
they should be appointed this week. The notice
however is SO short that presume but few will at
tend from this part OF the State.
When we received the annexed communication
from one of our distant correspondents, intended
to accompany it with few remarks but is tocr-
ably plain and explicit-and, as far as our knowledge
extends, in the main corrective for the present for
bear-giving just was received. Mr.. Beers we
presume, from the confident boastings of the Times
and Register of this state, and the N. Evening Post
and Globe, abroad was induced to believe that Con-
necticut would be revolutionized to ocofocoism-
hence he must do something proptate the favor of
the powers that (would) be-"
SALISBURY, April %. 1910.
Mr. Editor-1t is said in this section that Mr. Seth
T. Beers, the School Commissioner of this state,
openly active during the late election in your town.
tits further stated that he present during the
tire day the Thursday previous TO the election, at
the meeting for the admission of reemen, and that
person, excepting the Post Master, (whose duty
Amos Kendall's hireling it isl active in
getting admitted every thing who prepared to
the loco foco ticket. He is also stated to have
been very Zealousy engaged in the mornings Of both
your first and adjourned meetings; expressing pub
NCy jill HpdCdUS OppcSitltH ~ your wing Tep[eSeH-
tave nomination, and declaring, in substance, and
that too with strong emphasis, that the wings should
not carry their representatives..
Now, Mr.. Editor, our School Commissioner has
der his control about two millions Of dollars, the pro-
pery of the people of the state. Much of this money
is invested in bonds and mortgages and we all know
the controlling influence which creditor, especially
mortgage CREDITOR has over his debtor If an active
and unprincpled loco foco has lien the farm Of
wing, depend upon it that influence will be felt even
if no direct understanding takes place, still the infu
encc of his example and the hope of indulgence, if
subservent, the par. of the debtor, will act fearful
" against the independent exercise OF the elective
franchise.
That man to whom entrust the control of two
millions of the public money of this state, which is
the common property Of all parties. ought not to be
parzan leader; let him, if he pleases, deposite his
vote in the ballot box for whatever candidate he plea
ses but do not let hear his voice raised in fierce
support Of loco oco and in still 6ercer denunciaton Of
wing principles.
assure you the honest people of.hs section of the
state are prepared to suffer the commissioner of
zeal in our political affairs. We wings have put him
in Office Tor the benefit Of the whole people. not for the
benefit of the loco foco party, nor is it proper that the
school fund should be made the instrument Of oppres
We have fortunately wing legislature, and if the
present commissioner does not satisfy US, it is very
easy 10 select another who will and not only very
easv. but, if the reports true, very necessary.
Ill and others in this section are mistaken in sup
posing that Mr. Beers was active during the late cleo
ton, for the sake of truth and Justice wish you to
correct the impression but 1t we are not mistaken,
please inform and we shall regard his interference as
sufficient explanation! Of the re- mystery as it has
party in this county have been, as it were, thrown
away this alone off the counties of the state having
been barely able to hold our old majority, while the
wing vote Of all the other counties has been greatly
increased A.
P.S. I have heard il said that two of your wing
voters came to the polls the day of your first meet
ing, and one OF them at least, after crowdng up al
most to the ballot box near which the commissioner
had taken his stand. rereated, and neither of them
voted That the same persons came to the polls, on

was ascertained that these voters lived school
farms, and it was remembered that Beers watch

NO! NO.! s..
I'VE agree with our correspondent, that he is "a
plain man. and not only plain, but blunt: he tells
right out what he wants. and what he does not want;
what, under some circumstances he will do, and
what he will not. But he should remember that
Ltchfeld alone, whatever may be her wish, can do
but little without the aid of her sister towns, and in
one respect without her sister counties. We think,
however, she will meet with a ready response from
other sections of the state.-Ed]
1t has become quite of late for the locofocos
to give chapters of what they pleased to call
"whig expressions" "whig interference with the
freedom of electors" &c. to show that had it not
been for this wing influence they might stand much
better in public estimation than they appear to do
Just at present. We might enter into this bust
ness-though not for the same reason-we might give
sundry illustrations of loco foco tactics, if were
dsposed-we might tell how elector OF this town
was threatened with being turned out of the house
