BURR ~ BURTON SEMINARY.

A circular letter Of invitation to a
second reunion Of the Alumni of this
Institution has been extensively dis
tributed. On the first page is a very
fair representation of the Seminary
building and the Principals house ad-
joining. Many, who in years past,
found a home within its walls will,
doubtless, find an attraction in this
familiar view of the "Old Sem" and be
more disposed thereby to heed this in
vitation. As this circular was designed
more especially to give information of
the reunion to those abroad than to
those near home, the committee, UNI
willing that any who may not receive
copy of the circular, should deem
themselves unlimited, have requested
us to publish a copy OF the same,

Now that the smoke Of the conflict has
cleared away aud our next governor
is az good as elected, we had intended
to say no more about it, but the Bur
liugton Free Press and several other
papers characterize the recent state
convention as a grand triumph Of the
honest masses over the wire pullers.
This seems TO us little ont Of place
and we feel disposed to look into the
question somewhat.
1t is no doubt true that Governor
Taft and Col Sprague did use what in
auenco they could to induce people to
attend the caucuses in their interest,
and within certain limits this may be
right Whether they used money or
not we are unable to tell, but the wire
pulling was not all on the side Of the
defeated candidates. In the first place
Judge Peck was first talked Of as a
candidate for Governor at a session Of
court where he presided, not on ac-
count Of his superior fitness for the
office, bat because certain member
Of the bar wanted his place on the
bench, and certain other members Of
the bar had become tired Of his slow,
tedious manner of trying cases, and
those lawyorsdid not cease to push him
until the day OF the convention. In
the second place they set him up as a
resident Of Jericho, to get him on the
west side of the mountain, when Mont
pelicT has always been considered by
himself and everybody else as his
place Of residence. If they had put
his residence Richmond instead Of Jer-
icho it would have had a greater sem
blance OF truth, for bis farm, "where he
miIks his kline, is situated in the lat.
ter town and his post-ofiice address,
when on his farm, is Richmond. In the
third place, the farmers organization,
the grangers, was used as a means to
insure his nomination and letters were
written from the state granger head.
quarters TO prominent grangers in diff
fereut parts Of the State to induce
members of the organization to attend
the primary meetings in his interest
Now there may be no wiropulling in
all this, bat il looks to us like wire
pulling of the largest kind. We have
no idea that Judge Peck used money
to secure his nomination for he is not a
man who would use his money for any
such purpose even ifhe thought it per.
fcctly right and proper but we have
heard il said, by persons who claimed
to know, that a certain candidate for
Lieutenant Governor did pay the
expenses OF certain delegates with tho
understanding that they should vote
for Peck and himself,
Now we do not say this because We
are dissatisfied with our candidate for
Governor, for we honestly think that
Judge Peck win fill the chair as well
as any man who has had the Office for
years, bot we DO not like to see the
kettle call the pot black, and not hav-
ing supported either Of the candidates
named we can, perhaps, judge as fairly
as those who were themselves par
ticularly interested on one side OF the
other
