not dozen of them, all told, we are sorry
to say that their headquarters Is in Rut-
land. When the Springfield Republican,
and its Vermont copysts, said that the
supporters OF Colonel Joyce were "disap-
pointed Office aspirants," it would have hit
the mark nearer If il had said that hand

Willard were either disappointed Office
aspirants' or stood good chance,
ere long, to come under the same cate
cory but, as the case stands, with the cx-
ceptons named, it was woefully mistaken
unless it takes in the whole people OF Rut-
land and a good share of western Vermont
What is the course of these men Out
wardly they pretend to support Colonel
Joyce, because he has so strong hold on the
affections Of the voters Rutland and Rutland
county, while secretly they are at work to
defeat him. But for recent Developments,
We should have kept still, but now their
plans and operations must be disclosed that
our friends may be on their guard. In
everything hat we say, we know whereof
wc affirm. Prior to the Rutland primary

who would, OF course, loudly proclaim
themselves supporters of Colonel Joyce.
They relied upon this avowGl TO secure an

behalf, and prevented Il union Of the
county in his favor. Fooled in this, their
nest step was "a cndcavor ia persuade an
other resident of western Vermont, not Of
this county, to enter the field as a candi-
date. They thought that they knew their
man, bul the fact was the gcntlcman-and
he is gentleman every inch of him, and
one who would honor Vermont iii any po-
sition-knew them only too well; and
their syren song fell on unwilling cars.
Fooled again, they make Il fresh attempt.
The next move, and the one in which they
are now engaged, is to bclittle the strength
of Colonel Joyce in Rutland and Rutland
county. We know not to what extent
these Vaccinations have proceeded, for
while it seems impossible for mere hand

that one hypocrite, working secretly, can
sometimes do more than score of men
seemed to be to convince certain persons
that four towns in this county which had
elected Joyce delegates with li''i" ""-"s ''o~
or that the delegations were not an unit
for Colonel Joyce. 1t is well known that
many men have no preference between the
two candidates, having no personal ac-
quaintancc perhaps, with either, and will,
therefore, go with the majority Of the
county, whatever that may be- The effort
is, therefore, TO convey the impression that
Rutland and Rutland county is not heartily
| Tor Colonel Joyce. The idea is not original
with them. 1t came from our Bennington
friend, who said ia substance, that that
county WAS tired Of washing Rutland's
50 dirty linen" but if we were united, then
we might expect help from that county.
The result Of Bennington's primary, Mon
day, shows the effect of union and har-
mony in Rutland. 1t is not pleasant for
us to write as we have written. and we
should not have done SO except from a
sense of imperative duty We felt that
the work and designs of these marplots
should be exposed. And we desire to as
cure our friends that twenty-five rcpubl-
cans cannot be found in Rutland who are
not heartily in favor of Colonel Joyce, and
That than npntna, m ,,f
twenty of the delegates already elected in
this county are in his favor. Let them
continue their work if they see it, We
can call names if necessary.
