means tn be honest, but who can.
not resist solicitation.
1t IL understood that Mr.. DenisOn
assured some Of his friends, aud
Judge Poland himself, that he
would not be q candidate, aud in
less than ten days afterwards was
in the field as q candidate for Con
gress.
He submitted his case to the Re.
publican Convention, and when fair.
~ beaten, and his boiling friends
had afterwards nominated him, it
was impossible to find out whether
he would accept the nomination or
not. One day 1t was reported that
he had declined, and the next his
friends claimed that he was in the
field F.; but the whole thing seems to
be summed up in that White River
Junction letter-"he did not like 80
many letters from his friends requir-
ing replies!' Why mott Was his
cause a just one = Ifso, aud il he
was u RefOrmer, or u candidate of
a Reform party, he should at least
have had the courage to announce
his position unless some under
handed game was in contemplation.
What you, Mr.. Editor, have so we'll
termed a "nest,hiding policy" i'll be-
comes Reformers. II Mr.. DenisOn
il not n "fair.weather" candidate,
why did he not announce himself
before he received the flattering
plurality Of which he speaks. If n
candidate for Office cannot, or does
not on inquiry, say whether he il in
the field or not, what would his
reputation as u Refnrmer likely Ue,
if elected and approached by some
advocate of a railroad monopoly, or
of some large land grant I
These are questions that you and
| and every other Republican voter
must soon answer at the polls.
The Democrats, by casting their
votes for Denison, have, as they
claim, achieved a victory by divid-
ing the Republican party and now
the Democratic press has deserted
Denison, and they claim that vic
tory is within their grasp at the
next ontest by uniting upon a can
didate of their own. Mr.. DenisOn
has been used simply as a means of
defeating Mr.. Poland, and not in
advancing the interests of the Re-
publican party. Whether good or
evil shall result remains to be seen.
The contest in this district had
better be settled now, for it is inev-
table; and it seems to me that the
Republicans who know no boiling
nominations fairly made, should
stand shoulder to should er and elect
some staunch Republican in oppO-
sition to Denison and the Demo
Gratis. REPUBLICAN.

The ISSUE. The political issue
before the people is so simple that
no one need err in understanding
it. 1t is Just this and nothing more ::
Shall the control of the House of
Representatives pass into the hands
of the Democracy A? Any side is
sue, any division of Republican
strength on local questions, any
votes drawn from the regular ticket
by the Temperance or the Anti-mo-
nOpOly elements, serve to weaken
our party, and in proportion to
their strength tend to increase the
chances of the Democracy. Let
nothing stand in the way of Il COM
plete Republican success. 1t is vi,
tai to the peace and welfare of the
nation that the party that stands
pledged to the unity Of the Repub-
lie, to an honest. and economical
administrator of it's affairs, to the
protection of its citizens at home
and abroad, should be continued in
power. A vote east for an indepen-
dent ticket is vote thrown in ia
vor of Democracy.

Total. 1l,4l6 412O 1888 5746 1850 654
BY these totals it will be seen that,
deducting the vote for Davenport
from that of Bingham, t,centy- one
hundred and sirty democratic votes
were cast for some other than their
own candidate for Congress-. Now
it is hardly supposable that one of
those votes was given for Judge
Poland, when every democrat paper
and politician in the district was adj
viSing the abandonment of their
own organization and candidate for
the avOwed purpose of defeating the
regular Republican nominee. De.
Quoting this number of democratic
votes, two thousand one hundred
and sixty, from Denison's vote seven
thousand and thirty.eight, and we
find it reduced to four thousand
eight hundred and seventy eight, or
eight hundred and sixty-eight less
than the vote of Judge Poland. Or,
to guard against all bubbles, and
give to Colonel Mead his due pro-
portion of the democratic votes
which would be about two hundred
we still find plurality of six
hundred and sixty eight for Poland
over DenisOn. And by adding the
four hundred and fifty-four Republi-
can votes which we have left for
Colonel Mead, to the total vote of
Judge Poland, we have a REPUpL1
CAN MAJORITY OF ONE THOUSAND
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
TWO AGAINST MIR. DENISON

The LEGISLATURE. The length
of the Fair report in the OPIN-
ION last week prevented any notice
of the doin gs of the General AS
sembly at Montpelier.
The Senate elected f. w. Bald
win of Barton, Secre tary. He was
assistant secretary two years ago.
In the House there was consider
able division as to who should be
elected Speaker, four persons being
nominated, viz: H. Henry Powers
of Morrisville, Loveland Munson of
Manchester, Bradley b. Smalley
(dem) Of Burlington, and Hugh
Henry of Chester. The first ballot
stood, Powers 90; Munson 50;
Smalley 81; Henry o; Scattering
2. A choice was made OH the tenth
ballot, when the vote stood: Pow
crs 125 ; Munson 81; Smalley 80 !;
Scattering 2,-electing Powers by
90 majority. David NJ. Camp of
Newport was elected Clerk.
But little has been done of
general interest. a resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Perrin of Berlin,
that the committee on highways,
bridges and ferries are requested to
inquire whether some legislation is
not necessary to secure prOmptness
and efficiency in repairing the high
ways and bridges, and to guard
towns against unjust damages and
costs incurred by the travelling pub.
lie, and report by bill or otherwise,
which was adopted. By Mr.. Davis
of Cornwall, a resolution that the
joint committee on the Reform
School be instructed to inquire into
the eXpediency of establishing re-
formatory institution for girls, upon
a similar basis to that already es-
tablished for boys at Waterbury,
and report by bill or otherwise
adopted on the part of the House.
Bills have also been introduced to
amend section 3 of chapter 80 of the
general statutes, relating to inter-
est. (SiX per cent. to be legal in
tereSt where no other rate is named,
