So. Perhaps it IS enough to say that it couldn't

Much to the surprise Of the citizens Of th

to an uncalled for, and think by no means
unsolicited, opinion against the denomination
Of Hon F. +. Woodbridge. We venture the be
lief that the Freemen Of the lst Congressional
District are able To manage their own political
affairs If il is apparent abroad that the four
counties Of Washington, Bennington, Rutland.
and Addison are not equal 20 selecting their own

visablc to employ outsiders and freely scatter
their criticisms in the form of campaign docu-
ments through the District for the better enlight
eminent Of our benightel citizens. Until 1t IS
made to appear that the Freemen Of this District
have proved themselves incapable Of properly
exercising the right Of franchise, modesty at
least would Justify silence in those who have no
business to take part in our c'tnyass.- TcIyen-

quite as good taste if he as Representative Of

no grudge on that score; but il does not become
him or hi friends to find fault with those who
follow his example Setting that matter all

prehension, however, proved 10 De ggoundiisss.

statement alluded to Is false ia every particular.
