Shrewdiy Done.

There was serious Democratic opposi-
 tion to the renomination of our present
 sheriff. 1t is thought by those who ought
 to lsnow that a majority of the Democratic
 Convention that assembled here, last week,
 would have voted for some other candi-
 date had they been allowed that privilege.
 Just before the adjournment for dinner,
 Mr. H. J. Allen, of Wolcottville, moved
 an informal ballot Mr. G. c. Hitchcock,
 of New Preston, objected that several towns were not then represented, and
 moved an adjournment for dinner MT. Allen yielded. No sooner had the con- vention reassembled, however, than MT. G. M. Woodruff, of this place, moved Mr.
 Baldwin's nomination 6y acclanation, MT. Hitchcock seconded the motion, and 1t was carried in the twinkling of an eve before the opposition could remonstrate 1 Some of those who had travelled from ter ! to thirty miles, to cast an independent bal { lot, hardly felt rewarded for their exertions

Working Prisoners out of Jail.

!
 When our present Sheriff first took DOS session of his office he objected most strenously to the practice of working prisoners outside the jail. No sooner. however, was Mir Gibbud removed and his successor installed, than the wholeayail- able force of prisoners was kept steadily employed outside the jail, for the most part upon land occupied by the Sheriff. himself. From that time to the present this practice has continued. Most of the numerous escapes of last year have occur red directly or indirectly in conseouence of it. One prisoner ran away from the Sentinel office i've never much blamed him); another escaped from the sherifrs field, on which he was at work When the grand iail-breach occurred, last fall. at about four o'clock one fine afternoon. Mir Baldwin's agent was off with gang of prisoners at work as usual on his employ CTS land and no man was left in charge of the jail. The expense of those escapes to U1C OCI1to AaS peen, we are IOId, aDOut two hundred dollars Now the only possible reason we can assign for the sheriff's change of view re- garding the policy of working prisoners outside the jail is, that, while NIT. Gibbud was iailor, their earnings went into the county treasury, or into someone else's pocket; while, afterwards, the proceeds of that labor, or large portion of it, went into his own pocket. When We are told, too, that the labor has been worth, for the past few years, not less than $1 200 a year, we can appreciate the full vmagni- tude of this difference.

A Contrast.

In 1862, Mir. Wm. F. Baldwin, then of this place, county commissioner, required rent of $500 for the jail The jailor ob- jected that that amount was more than he could afford. A responsible man Ca Dem tocrat by the way) WAS ready to give that rent and undertake the care of the jail. Did the Republican sheriff, then i'll office, demand possession of the county house rent free? By no means. He yielded the eipoint and his deputy paid the $500 rent. Had Mir Geo. H. Baldwin made good the $55o the county treasury lost by Mr. @Gibbuds removal, the contrast be- tween the two sherifs and the tive Bald winswoua not be quite so great as it now
