CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PILOT

WASHINGTON, May 9TH, 1910.
Gen Green-With something of surprise, and
with much of regret, perceive in the columns
of your paper an intimation that the Old Demo-
cratic Wing State, Vermont, will give one thou
sand majority against the present all-destroying
Administration Sir, this is downright SANDER
upon the fair fame of the Green Mountain Boys
unintentional on your part, know-but never
theless it is SANDER, which, a representative
in part of the Young Wings of Vermont, feel it
my duty to correct. 1t was my anxious desire to
do it in convention, that the thousands and tens
of thousands there, might all carry home to their
constituents testimonial to the political integ-
rity of Vermont Disappointed in this, | seek
your columns, as the next most appropriate place
to do justice to my State, and use the first OPP
portunity that has occurred to me to perform this
duty. When the men now in power were seek
ing the confidence and support of the people, by
holding out system of public policy as brilliant
and propitious in promise, as it has been dis
graceful and destructive in practice-Yermont
refused to trust them. In every contest since,
she has borne her part. The arm of Executive
power has been uplifted against her the seduc-
tive power of patronage has been tried upon her;
and the army of federal office-holders have made
many and furious onsets. Vermont has resisted
them all; like the gallant hero, under whose glo-
rious banner the nation is about to achieve an
other noble triumph, in the name Of the Consti-
tuition and of Liberty, the Wings of Vermont
sehave never suffered defeat" In this she
stands alone among her sisters in the Union
When many mighty have fallen, she has wept
for them, but she has not been paralyzed by their
fall; when State after State has been restored to
its integrity and wiped off the stain of former
defeat, she has rejoiced-but never has she been
lulled to slumber by too much confidence in sue
cess vermont has never bowed the knee to
Baal;" and she never will. Into the present
mont, first in New England, and second only in
the Union, was the standard raised on which was
inscribed the watch-words, in the name of which
the great victory is to be won:-HARRIsoN AND
REFORM Under that banner the Wings of Yer
mont gave about 1000 majority in 1886; under
that same banner will they give from 1000 to
10, GOO in November next. She is pledged for it
she has accepted the challenge to give the largest
majority, in proportion to her aggregate vote, of
any Wing state in the Republic. In these cir
cumstances, the Wings of Vermont will feel that
the account you have been so unfortunate as to
give her, is reproach to their state; and in their
name, venture to ask you to do the justice to
correct the record.
am, with respect,
oa Yours in the cause,

THE FELL spIRIT oF pARTY.

We would ask the original jackson men; the
men who respect the laws and love liberty, to re.
fleet for moment on the condition of parties in
this city. We have stated the manner and cir
cumstances of the murder of the unfortunate
Laughlin. We learn that person, with Wing
badge, much mangled on the face as by blows
from heavy instrument, was found floating in
the Dock and there were rumors that one OF the
New Jersey and one of the Massachusetts
Delegation were missing. The facts which we
are about to state, are from source entitled
to the fullest confidence, and leave no doubt thai
there are men, who for no other than political
consideration, will perpetrate cold blooded MUIR
ders, and that there are others who in cold blood
justify it.
A friend has just called to say to us that mem
Der of the administration party said in respecta-
BILE private circle that they had killed three wings
and there fore there scolld be three U0tes less"
We also learn that on Tuesday night last, as
MIR. Waterman, of the respectable firm of Watch
man s Bratt, was returning home from Charles
street, he was met by two men at the corner OF
Lee street and asked ''are you wing p SupPos-
ing them to be friends, he replied eyes, and a
good one )" whereupon one of them struck him
blow on the head, with what he believes to
have been piece of iron in handkerchief. He
Immediately rushed at the assassin, who fled, and
he was soon so blinded with blood that he could
not follow them He is greatly injured, and our
informant, who saw him, says that the blow was
such that the person who gave it must have in
tended to kill him, or was Indifferent to whether
ii was mortal or not.
Are not these things the natural fruits of the
constant inhamatory publications issuing from tie
Globe and its affiliated echoes' And do ttt.ey not
admonish all rejecting persons that measures
which bear such fruits are dangerous to public
liberty

The Election in Albany on Tuesday, for the
City Officers, has resulted in the success of the
whole Wing Ticket Mr.. Rath5o,,e, the Wvhig
candidate for Mayor, and the Wing candidates
for Aldermen, in every Ward in the city, have
been elected
The Albany Journal of Wednesday says
SsThe Wings of Albany have gone triumphant
ly through with their Charter Elections. The
Capitol Of the Empire State stands proudly erect
There is WING MAJORITY for ALDER
MEN IN EVERY WARD IN THE CITY
Every ward in the city has increased its wing
majority since the last Charter Election. We
have carried the city by over one hundred more
| majority than we had in the spring Of 1889.
This is great triumph The Old Regency
made their last expiring effort. They knew and
felt that unless they could make show of
strength here--once the seat OF their power-here,
where they once had every thing their own way;
that all was over with Van Buren,. This, too.
was the crowning Spring Election. The s1ast
gum was to be fred here They therefore
brought every influence to bear. But it was an
impotent eaort-an unavailing struggle. The
indomitable Wing Party, without Organization,
but in high spirit and enthusiasm, rushed to the
Polls, and sessred victory worthy ofthemselyes.

Yesterday afternoon an examination of large
number of witnesses were subpenaed bytThomas
H. Belt, Justice of the Peace, to appear at the
City Police Office to testify in respect to the
death of Mr.. Thomas III. Laughlin, carpenter, Of
the Sth Ward, killed during the Wing Conven-
tion's procession on Monday last.
The examination was accordingly held before
his honor, the Mayor, T. H. Belt, and Henry
Snyder, Esqrs.
Witnesses were examined not only in regard to
the death ofMr L., but also in reference to other
disturbances during the day. Nothing, however,
was elected worthy of particular note, except
that the unfortunate man was undoubtedly killed
by blow and that the efigy, or ''paddy" was
made at the yard attached to the New Market
The Great Western sails from New York to-
day, We understand that the agent has been
compelled to refuse about 100 applications for
passage. The Packet Ships are also all filed
Fire Engine House. Some collision of testimony
took place among the witnesses as they were ex-
amined without hearing each other, having
been by the Mayor, ordered into room by them
selves, during the examination.
The lateness Of the hour at the close of the ex-
animation, forbids further particulars.

The people of various sections of the country
had appointed yesterday, the sth of May, for the

military achievement. In the city of New York,
the most extensive arrangements have been made

count of the proceedings at Niblos. 100 guns
were to be fired at noor--in the evening Niblo's

their defeat in the Capitol of tho Presidents own

s'Whilst the Republicans with no expectation
of success in scarcely any Ward in the city, did
not poll their full vote the Federalists were never
more active and inscriptions"
This is rather too strong. There is an abun-
dant quantity of gulibility and credulity in this
goodly land, Mr. Argus, but in these times of high
political excitement, when we are on the eve of
one of the greatest contests that this country
experienced, it is too late to resort to stale allega
ions of inertness causes of defeat.
