The Rutland H,aH, of Saturday, CON
tains the following:
An exchange head. an item Zeal With |
out knowledge and proceeds TO say that
il thinks "Col. joyce might pray 70 be de-
li,ercd from his friends of the Rutland
GLOBE at least il their article of II recent
date is the best they can do for HIM.
1t is sufficient for us to say that the
exchange referred to was one of the
bitercsl democrdt,c opponents TO the NOM
nation of Colonel Joyce; and That the
reference is m de TO an al.usion in one of
our editorials, during the canvass, 70 the
fact that the colonel had gained legislative
experience by working his way up from
messenger to the speakers chair in the or
mont house of representatives,. y similar
allusion. made by Governor Slade and Hon.
A. l.. Miner, at the convention, brought
out the most spontaneous, hearty and
demonstrative applause from the Whole
body of the convention, and created an en-
IDuSttSIll tlul llO CiiN l'ltSShN az 'AAs'e I'm
venton will ever forget We may re-
mark, in passing, that the same paper
truthfully says that the managing editor
of the Herald worked from the commence
ment of the canvass, in an undcrhanded way,
to secure the denomination of Mr. Willard
and secure the defeat of Colonel Joyce.
In stating this fact, it was stating what
has been generally understood and known
the district during the whole canvass. 1t
was freely admitted by the leading men
of the Washington county delegation at
Mddlebury Indeed, any one, with the
least common sense, could see it from a
reading of the Heydld during that time.
The gentleman who has had the credit of
being the editor of that paper, has been
compelled by its course to bear unjust
cdium, because he, although writing occa-
sional, and, perhaps, daily editorials there
for, has not been for some weeks and is not
now responsible for its editorial manage
ment, He favored Colonel Joyce from the
start, but the Ue1dl1 had not word to say
in his favor until five or six days before
the meeting of the convention and until
after enough delegates hal been heard from
to nominate him by handsome majority.
Then the Herald gave one feeble wall fol
the Colonel and subsidized But all the time
down to the morning of the convention,
its managing editor" was doing his utmost
for Mr.. Willard, and the result shows the
powerful influence exerted by him and his
sheet.
We challenge an intelligent and t13AJn
mind, we say truthful-denial of the fac
that until within week before the nomi
nation, the Nerald has always been con
sidered either as in favor of Mr.. Willard Of
'on the fence" We further challenge ;
single reference thereto by the State press
until within about that time, that has no
been to that effect, or quoted from for thu
purpose of disparaging Colonel Joyce
prospects and claims. We should not have
referred to this matter again after the hearty
and unanimous manner in which the nomi

tation given above and the purpose 70
which it was used We now propose f
ventilate the matter little, and trust tina
we shall not allow ourself TO refer TO j
again. What has been the opinion of tn
State press : The Montpelier Freeman al
ways quoted it as in favor of Mr. Willard
The Woodstock Standard two weeks ago
says that it virtually acknowledges tia
Colonel Joyce has no prospect of the nom
ination. The Free Press, when the edito
rial referred to appeared, speaks of il as q
last Strengthening up" The Bennington
gazette, as late as about the first of August
says, the Rutland HeruM is neutral in III
" Congressional fight, inclining rattle
" to the stronger or Willard side, thong
'saying nothing TO vex Joyce, a. possibl
nominee This, perhaps, expresses it
course during THE canvass as concisely G
language could do it, though we doubt NJ
it exceedingly veXed the mind of the nom
nal editor thereof, even if he bad 10 contr,

So the Springfield RepuJlicdn. after the al

of the cocoanut will be found in the wore
we have talcised. This accounts for Il
sudden and flying leap, for which 1t has b
come so noted, from the fence to the vii
ming side. This appeared in the RepuJ,
can as late as August 9th, so that this fei
of horsemanship was performed only fol
or five working days before the convention
But we need not continue these quotation
and references, although we could 90 c
almost to any length without finding Il
first reference made to the XeyaM as favo
able to Colonel Joyce, unless it was false
so credited for the purpose of injuring h
prospects The fact, as we have said, w
well known in Rutland, and ii was clear
