Poor Vermont! So blind to her own in

Republican.
After all, the defeat Of Judge Poland WAS
the biggest victory gained by honest mon on
Tuesday 81. iiJdHS Messenger.
AMER such n disastrous defeat, ii is not
likely that Mr.. Poland will remain in the
field. Mr.. DcniSon made no canvass. lie
barely announced that he was IL candle date,
and under the circumstances it was remark
able that he should have led Mr.. Poland IN

have II right to say who shall represent

Mr.. Dcnison made no canvass, beyond the
bare announcement that he was II candidate,
and we doubt if u man in the district sup
posed it was possible that he should lead
Poland in the vote. The dissatisfaction
which found expression during the Steele
campaign, has evidently been growing rap
idly among the voters; aud Judge Poland's
friends must now be sorry that he was not
withdrawn while he could retire with good
gracc.-Frcc Press.
All! there are tides even in Vermont.

Judge Poland has our sympathy in hi,
probable defeat, and we wonder at the per
vcrsity of the average Vermont voters in re-
fusing TO accept the statement of such rG-
