ton OF delegates TO the state convention, in
which there was some little warning Of clc-
ments. The combat was not for election
of men to vote for Peck or Taft or any
body else, hut upon private and local party
issues. "Thc Moral Reform Party so
called, got up an opposition ticket ostensi-
bly, in the Peck interest and very ingenious
~ conceived. There we're some of the
best men in town on it, TO get the votes of
their compeers there was one young man
to catch the young mems vote there was
one Frenchman TO catch the French and
Catholic vote, and there was one Irish re-
publico-democrat TO gather up the trag-
ments. And yet the ticket wasn't elected,
and the Messenger Is sorely disappointed
and hints, a. usual, at corruption, repeat
ing, etc The delegation rs elected was
for Peck unanimously, answering, as we
think to the general public sentiment, and
the result of the convention seems highly
satisfactory to ALL This caucus we were
unable to attend, and acting upon inforlna-
tioh opliih'h ihtN III thN tNthlhEf anu sup
posed to be reliable, we telegraphed you
that Taft delegation had been elected.
This dispatch was stolen from the wires at
Burlington and published there and as re-
hashed in one or two other papers, has fur
nished material upon which the Messenger
has been industriously endeavoring to
prove that the delegation, which because it
wasn't the Messengers ticket must be wrong
and corrupt in some way, voted for Taft
and then lied about it after ne result was
made known
The simple fact is that our informant
gave us wrong information, or, more proba-
bly,, told us what he did knowing it only
from hearsay, and thinking because there
were two tickets in the field that one must
be a Taft ticket, and so the mistake was
promulgated. AS soon as We could see all
the delegates we found they we've unani-
mously IN favor of Judge Peck and we i'm
mediatcly sent you second telegram, cor
recting the matter, which the Messenger
finds it convenient 10 ignore entirely. In
dependent journalism is great blessing to
people who want to know one side Of the
facts.
A caucus will probably be called the first
of next week to elect delegates to the coun-
ty convention, and it is expected there will
be a sharp contest between the moral re-
form party and the people who obstinately
prefer to walk in darkness and sin.

"A funny instance last Wednesday when the

personal attacks on the associate editor OF
