Standard have said about the Poland law says
"Nether Of them have published tho act ii.
self, or stated what its provisions were, ex-
cept to mis-state them" He then quotes the
act entire, and adds portion Of an act Of
1889, referred to in this act, which he con
siders necessary to full understanding Of
the new law. If he will examine the FARM
Err Of July 3, he will find them both, with
a pretty fair and explicit statement Of " its
provisions" Then, if he needs further light,
we would Isfer him to an article in our is
sue Of July 10, under the title "The Law

TO ask Of stamford {" Where was POland's
record when he was at the age Of Mead ? If
Mead has shown greater ability than the
jodge had then, had we not better take him
than return a man whose ability and integ-
rity are both on the wane, as evinced in Mr..
Poland's last acts in Congress SO far as
"Stanford's" remarks are addressed to "Ver.

him for them to take care Of, and we do not
think they need any help.

Editor Of the Vermont Farmer !,

Editor Of the Vermont Farmer -
read in the last CGledonian that there
was evidently new hand at the FARMER
"bellows," Of late. l wish just to say, Mr..
Editor, that | am subscriber to both pa
pers aud shall do no injustice by saying
that if there should a new hand get hold Of
the Caledonian bellows, it would be very in
teresting to its readers in fact, when read
the long articles on the congressional mat
ter. thought some one had got hold, for
have too much confidence in friends Stones
moral perceptions to believe las yeti that he
endorses that article, as a whole.
A word about the county nonvention !:
The Caledonian has for years, as its files
will show, been in the habit of urging
the farmers 10 attend the county conventions
and help select good men for the officers
when it knew full we'll that the lawyers and
other politicians had already made out a
slate, and were merely asking the farmers tC
come together and sanction it. This year
the farmers made up their minds to heed
the former good advice Of the Caledoniaa
editor and did come to the convention, and
the result is not at all Aattering to our ad
visor.
He says new element appeared in the
convention. There he is mistaken /; it wa
an old element TeUiUed one that electet
honest men instead Of wire-pullers to office
They mean to do the same thing ever,
time. The fact that the two prominent can
didates put forth by the CGledOnian faile,
to get the full vote Of their own towns i
the nominating committee explains the dis
like Of that paper for any favorable repOr
of the convention.
If by the ne'D element he meant tn
grangers, let me say that none Of the new
ly.nominated men on the ticket are grang
ers, except the original P. N. alluded to j
the Caledonidn. CALEDONIA FARMER.

The Woodstock Post announces, for the

considered its article of week before last to
be in favOr.o of Mead, that they were mistaken.
The Post tried to support Poland, and If

they are respectfully asked to guess again.

traordinary developments respecting tie sell

out the collection OF the internal revenue taxes
