Mr.. EdHor,-Sr.-l notice in your
paper that considerable excitement exists
among the freemen of the county and
others in regard to filling the Office of
States Attorney for the next two years,
and also that Gen. Grandey is proposed
for the office, as also Mr.. Lucia,o on which
allow me to say few words. As far as
| eau ascertain, public opinion calls for
the election of Mr.. Lucia, for various
reasons. First, lie is true temperance
man, and will use his best endeavors to
have the Prohibitory Law enforced, not
for the qualification of private animosi-
ties, but for the purpose of seeing the
majesty Of the law indicated and the
unholy traffic thoroughly stamped out
Second, He is true gentleman, and as
such will extend equal courtesy to all,
be they rich or poor, and will hear and
investigate grievances for the one as soon
MS for the other. Third, He is one of
those that stood in the deadly breach
when the nations honor and existence
were at stake, one of the little band of
nountaineers that leaving the peaceful
avocations of life, with unskillcd hands
grasped the sword and won for themselves
a record, than which history shows no
brighter example in all her list of illus
trous names, and as such he ought to be
honored by his fellows in some manner,
and what filter way can be devised than
by electing him to this responsible post.
In the above | would not convey the
idea that Gen. Grandey would not fill
the office acceptably, but he has had it
and would it not be well to try new
hand at the business? | notice that some
dissatisfaction exists in the minds Of some
concerning the doings of the present in
cumbent, that he was not vigilant enough
of the interests of temperance. | think
he has done all that could be reasonably
expected of him. 1t is true he has pros
ecuted and failed to convict, probably in
more than one case, at least one, in this
town, and | know Of but few that blame
him for prosecuting them, but the facts
of the case were, that part of the wit
nesses did not agree among themselves.
and could not be believed by men ofpro
bity that knew them, but he (Mr. Clark J
hearing only one side and not knowing
the persons, brought the suit, as any 9TH
er public officer would have done under
the same circumstances, and if Mr.. Clark
was candidate for the Office this year he
would receive respectable vote in this
town, but since Mr. Lucia's name has
been mentioned as it has, Mr.. Clark will
not probably receive much support here
this year.
also notice that ak" brings forward
the name of A. Z. Stanley OF Leicester
but for what purpose he does not say but
| infer for this Attorneyship. Knowing
Mr., Stanley as do | should say tina,
his chance for office of any kind would
be improved by being better known
through the County, but if he continues
for few years as he has begun l fol
one would be willing to support him fol
almost any office in the gift of the Coun'
ty.
Now, Sir, few questions and | IN
done. What is the trouble with |. NJ
Trip that he cannot continue as Sheriff
Has he not done his business in gentle
manly way? Has he used any means t.
Cypress any that was unfortunate enough
to demand his official attentions, either
on civil or criminal process? Has ht
given any vuo oasonable leuily7 L
he has done none of these, would it no
be well to continue him in Office for the
present? Yours &C., f.
Ripton, VT, June lst, 1872.
Mr.. EEIToR An item in the Regis
ter of last week concerning the attend
ance b. some of the students at the Gree
ley mass meeting at Rutland, has causeC
some of those who went, including thu
writer, to feel aggrieved that their little
Greeley demonstration should be taker
in earnest.
The affair was merely students frol
ic, and the;vociferous shouts for Greeley
were intended only TO hoax the NATIVES
who were so unfortunate as to occupy thu
stations and cars that day. Greeley il
unpopular at College, except with a very
small minority of the students. Grant
the man."
The students attended the mass meet
ing only to hear the speakers that wer
J advertised, and were much disguised q
} the complete fzzle which the meeting
proved to be.
An insertion into your columns Of thi
correction and expression of opinion vii
, much oblige ONE OF THEM.
