'7nr FAYE SolLERs-THEIR CANDIDATES
rt:iR PoLicy.--When a few scheming and
i.saonest demlgogues got together and laid
ta2 political egg that was Matched at Montpe
iar on the famous, or rather infamous, "3lst of
May" there was great rejoicing among them
selves, and others, who believed that party
could be successful in Vermont with no basis
at principle, and bound together by no motive
bat the mcrcenary one of cheating the Wings"
The BARRIERS, and Stansburvs, and Eastmans,
and Vllases who projected, and brought into
a,',Yity the vile and disgraceful coalition which
WIS chr Stoned Free Democracy, exhibited
gross ignorance of the real character of the
People of Vermont. Y cy insutcd the honest
and intelligent voters Of the State by assuming
that they could be deceived into lending them
selves to q jugge that had neither honesty of
intention nor dccency of management, to rec
om,ncnd it to the popular favor. The end
crowned the work. Both in 1919 and 80,
,lNse unp'inciplcd schcmors were badly beaten,
and the last year the Wing State Candidates,
Tor the first time in some seven or eight years
were elected by the POPULAR VOTE ! thus ad-
mnsterng rebuke to these small-potato pol>
iticians that ought to have satisfied their hopes,
if not their cravings for Office The people of
Vermont repeatedly declared to Messrs Barrier,
.>idnsbUy, Eastman s. Co., that they wanted
noich,Hge. and, least of all, such change as
THEY would bring!
49, But the schemers were neither content
ed nor discouraged. "Spoils., was their object
and they deemed the Spolls worthy another eff,
ort. So they again nominated LUcIUs B. PECK
for Governor, and went into extravagant lauda-
tons (see Burlington Courier and tile rest of
the affiliated press on his character and quail
Gcations. But Mr.. PECK declined. lie repu-
daed their Resolutions and their PLATFORM
lie was an "Old bunker Locofoco" and would
hive nothing to do with them. And so they
nominated Mr. REpFIELD, also an old Line Lo-
cofoco,-being careful to keep as close al tn
could to that class Of politicians who voted for
me Annexation Of Texas, "Polk, Dallas g.
Victory" in lS48, and defeated HARRY CLAY !!
Dir. Red6ed accepted their nomination. II
was a member OF their Convention, and, AS
chairman ofther Committee on Resolutions had
the astounding impudance TO report the follcs.

I'D Of the views and opinions of Mr.. Prck's
letter of declInatIon, and challenged denial in
a.y authentic form The ou.ier denied it, as
we expected. But tins was not enough The
Coprj'r is well known to be an "old line Loco

"Dd line Locoioco' candidates for office, last
year, and does the same nor. Its denial, there
fore amounted to thing.
We waited for an authoritative exposition OF
Mr. REDFIELD's views, and we have waited in
vain. Mr. Redfeld DARES NOT deny what
we have said lie was once sort of truck,
JHl-lickcr Senator from Orleans County and
the OriennS County Ga,etic in an able article
oyposng the tergivnrsatons and trimmings by
which he secured an election, emphatically
says:--

TINS lr precisely what we said mmediatel,
after the nomination of this truck and dickc

wonder in Orleans County, of which Mr.. RED

the nomination. Of party which Mr.. PECK AM

Now, freemen of Vermont, Just look at it!
Mr., PECK is too honorable man to accept tn
nomination of IA party whose Resolutions h
could not endorse, and Mr.. REnFIELD is jus
honorable enough IN accept the nomination q
o.. same party while he agrees at tn
