The Green Mountain State holds her
Annual Election next Tuesday. We be-
ieve the candidates for State Officers are
all good men, as the Republicans surely are.
We hope the Republicans will poll out their
full strength for Gov, Fairbanks, while we
would have the Democrats equally jealous
and active for SAKE. Vermont has rot one
less than Sixty Thousand legal voters--in
fact, New Hampshire, with scarcely a
larger population, of late polls considerably
more than that number--while Vermont
usually polls considerably less than Fifty
Thousand, and has rarely exceeded that
number. Republicans of Vermont it de-
wolves on you TO inaugurate the series Of
Republican triumphs in free States since
the Chicago nominations. We ask you to
do it by polling at least Forty Thousand
votes next Tuesday. Speak to MAINE SC

The New York AMERICANS IN CouN-
CIL.-The New York American council
met at Schenectady, on Tuesday. The
meeting attracted attention from the fact
that it was to be the finally, settling forev-
er which was to rule or ruin-the Scroggs-
Lincoln faction or the Brooks Douglas.
Double sets of delegates appeared from
New York city, and after an exceedingly
stormy session the E.astus Brooks men
triumphed and worked their way in. Gen
Scroggs, the old president of the council
was then thrown overheard and Gen. Pres
colt elected in his place, with an entire new
state committee. After the Scroggs-Lin-
coin men had left, the others ratified the
Douglas electoral ticket unanimously.
The Scroggs party then held conven.
ton of their owl, Go seeding delegates
being present. Gen. Scroggs was called
to the chair and made speech announcing
bis adhesion TO Lincoln. Resolutions were
| adopted repudiating the bargain and sale
of the party TO the Douglas men, and de,
claring that the American voters of New
York be untrammelled and at liberty here
after to vote each as his judgment dictates
A new state committee was appointed, and
authorised to call general state conven,
ton if il is deemed advisable.

Mr.. EDITOR Your correspondent last
week, in his Imprimatur," signifies that
information by which errors, if such occur,
could be corrected, would have been prefer
able to the course pursued. l addressed
myself to the subject as l did, for the rea-
son that it seemed to me no statement ike
that referred to would be sent to press
without something strongly resembling evil
dence, to support it.
In law it is difficult to prove a negative
when the person whose acts are called in
question is dead. But those acts thus ques-
toned, are sometimes preceded and sue
ceeded by circumstances which, while they
are not of the nature of positive proof, yet,
they do act upon the mind as they should,
with all the force of proof. To treat them
in any other light, we must do violence to
our mental constitution and TO common sense.
Now, then, the assertion is that Mr.. John
Atkinson did about 1916. give the land
now known as Church Hill, embracing all
the ground from Pine woods down TO School
street, and from the square back to where
the school house, now the Catholic church
stands. as site for church and burying
ground in Bellows Falls village" &c.

Freemen of Vernon! Only two more
days are left in which to rally the voters to
the polls. If you are not already fully or
ganized, those two days, even, if wholly de.
voted to the cause, will do much good. Re-
member that the Republicans of Vermont
have always been ready TO give their thou
sands over and above their opponents, and
that we have long and patiently been wait

as We fully believe, we owe it to ourselves,
to the glory and honor of our State, to the
free principles which we advocate, and to
that love OF freedom and liberty which has
ever been cherished among our Green
Mountains, TO give such a vote next Tues
day as was never before thrown in YER
mont and thus be entitled to our full share
of the honorin the revolution about to dawn
upon us.
Vermont had her full influence at the
Chicago convention, and it was felt. Her
influence has been good, and will be guidet
in the right direction hereafter. Letus re
