 nr The following letter gives in free and easy style the views of Union men in the vicinity of Salisbury, on our Congress sional Candidates: x: stss 3l-e5 HI RIGA, March 9th, 1887.
 MR. EDITOR II used to know Mr. Hubbard Jour Member of Congress for the past four years,) when he read law with General Sterling, and many years after, while he practised law in what was then called Furnace, Village. Friend Harry was 3 good fellow, hard worker, g good temperance man in all things except the use of tobacco. His election to Congress caused me to feel proud of Salisbury and her sef-made son. In 8 few weeks we shall elect some one to succeed him and who will it be? Why, Barnum, of course, either Phin or Bill. The two Conventions have nominated
 
 them, else lose my vote. Idon't know about the qualifications of these two men for seat on the cushion friend Harry has occupied so long, but will measure and weigh them we'll as can, hoping before the first of April to make up my mind which one will support. Phin. began poor, and so did Bills father. There was no sin in that They now called rich. Phin is full of fun, and sometimes he has humbugged the public but he did it so slick, they would not be- ieve him when he told them of it. They were pleased, and willingly paid for the joke. aud he made money. He had the good sense to realize ! that money is convenience: to be used for his comfort and the benefit of the community, not as a strong lever to bend others to his will. We find him foremost among the temperance mon: 2 gen erous donor to objects of charity a warm friend of our nationsl defenders; the foremost man in the district for the Union; awful terror to se- sesh; a man bold and determined, raising with his strong arms the flag of the Union, and dragging 1 the flag of sympathy with rebels to the ground wherever he found it. He talks and writes well, showing he is not man of ono idea only, but has mind comprehensive enough to entitle him to the respect of those he may be called upon to associate with.
 Bill is quite another character. There is no fun in him. He is sharp for bargain, ready busi- ness man, but never seems to appreciate the i'm portance of but one letter in the alphabet-that's the letter I. Bill loves his friends, if he use them. He is & smooth taker when making bar gain, and at times appears generous, but does it come from his private purse? He could not have had proper respect for the memory of the dead, when he covered that old graveyard at Lime Rock, (the oldest one in town, with ten or moro feet of earth and stone, to mako coal bank for the new | furnace And when heard, two months ago that the furnace had burned, was much inclined to think the spirits of the departed Chipmans, Moores, and others of the first settlers of Salisbury, had risen from their deep-coyered graves, to resent the insult they imagined he had done them. i--
 Since Bill began to to take the lead of the so- called Democratic party money is as plenty at Elections as leaves in Autumn. The price of ma ny mans birth-rlght depends upon the strength of his will, and the emptiness of his pocket, vary l ing from a small sum- to many Ks. This is done with the belief that all men have price. The advocacy of moral principles is too slow process for any one, who believes wholly in the power of the almighty dollar. And mover heard any one accuse Bill of being radical on any moral ques- tion' He was very active as select-nlan and re- oruiting officer, raised g good deal of money, and had the quota of the town filled on time. Had he done otherwise, and draft been made, 1t might have taken some of his choppers, eollisrs, ore diggors, teamsters and furnace hands, and injured his manufacturing interest somewhat.
 AS I said before, Bill paid money, and 80 did |. | guess he paid hundreds to my dimes He had it to spare, and had not. But let tell you, my dimes are in circulation yet, at least havenev CT seen any of them since but Bills hundreds all came back. The long lever was applied and the good people voted to lay a tax and repay him. I judge men politically by their votes and actions. voted for Union men every time, while Bill voted for Tom Seymour and others of the same stripe. Who ever heard him any of his political friends rejoice when the Union army triumphed, or regret when the Rebs carried the day? guess no one Some think he was nominated, because he was willing to bleed freely and therefore he was the man for the place. Let me tell you, these blood letting aspirants dry up mighty quick when elect ed: and then, for every drop they have given for the position they after, they take quarts from the government when they get there. |
 linear Phn is stumping the district, and as he is great follow for fun and in times gone by has pulled the wool over the eyes of many, and over an old horse too, fear he may come the same game over- Bill. Now as am anxious every thing should be done fair scale Ihave proposition to make. It is this: Phin. shall stump the district for both parties, and Bill shall furn- ish the funds To avold all ill feeling, they shall go arm in arm, the one with the brains and the other with the cash. This will save time and money-give us. all an opportunity to see our full grown men, and as I think give universal satisfaction. a'.- DAN.
