Dudley Donison gave Judge Poland his
word on the honor of u man that If he was

would gladly support him. No one disputes
but the Judges nomination was ms fair and

We have every reason to believe the FORE
going to be a lie. We do not think there is
an intelligent man in Caledonia County who
thinks it true. But it is very appropriate
to appear in "my home paper" on the eve
Of election, especially as said paper comes
out in favor of Judge Poland for congress-
man.
We have expressed the belief heretofore
that Poland still had his eye on the office.
This week the CaledOniaa, his St. Johnsbury
official organ, admits that the party are or.
ganized for the fight by saying in one place
that his election is too much to expect with
out organization, and in another place that
" his chances are the best to-day Of any man
in the district"
The CaledOniaa further advises all good
republicans to go and vote for Luke Z. Po'
land, and those of the Butler stripe will
probably do so. But We think there are
men enough in this district who dare to vote
for an honest man and one who does not
come sneaking around at the eleventh hour
as Judge Poland does, to elect ID. Q. Den.

Speaking Of the recent reports of horrible
outrages in the South, manufactured for
election purposes, the New York Sun thus
comments on the reported stopping of the
mail train between Livingston aud Demopo-
lis, Alabama, on Monday, Oct. 5, by 100
armed men, which has been assiduously cop.
led by sensational party organs
There are three little facts which 90 to
throw doubt upon the truth of this story.
First there is no railroad between these two
towns, and consequently no mail train; sec
ond, the mail between Livingston and De-
mopolis is carried by u negro boy on mule /;
and third. on Monday, October 5, the mule
made no trip. But the young man and his
prompter Landaulet Williams, should not
be discouraged by such little mistakes rs
this. The committee appointed by tho
Chattanooga Convention are now setting"
and will doubtless hatch u flock OF more
plausible outrages sufficient TO last uutil at.
ter the November elections.
We submit that the manufacturing and
repeating of such stories for the purpose Of
influencing an election is hardly the thing
for honorable papers to engage in. In this
respect many of the republican organs have
Of late placed themselves on q lower level
than that Of the democratic organs, and
Heaven knows the latter are low enough.

On the former ballot when Poland was
the " regular nominee and Denison only
bOlter, while st. Johnsbury, Polauds own
town, gave majority Of AZ against him,
Denison received majority in his own town
Of 70 over all other candidates. In Sharon,
Bethel, Stockbridge, Woodstock, Royalton,
and other places where best known, his ma
jority was equally Hattering, while Poland
carried but one town in his own county, and
none in Orange, all his strength being in
that part of the district furthest from home.
In view OF these facts, we do not think the
Denison party feel nearly as bad as the other
side claim. But they propose to turn out
on Tuesday and give such a crushing major
ity against Poland as will settle him for this
fall, at least.

Were it not for the foolish devotion to
imaginary party lines, the election next
Tuesday would be a pretty close one be-
tween MclIane and Denison, but the latter
holds all the winning cards because he be-
longs to the most powerful party. The
election of either of these men would be a
great gain over the past, and one of them is
morally certain to be elected. That one is
Dudley G. Denison, of Royalton. If the
time should ever come when the nomination
of men of purity of character equal to that of
these two men by both parties should be the
rule, politics will become a cleaner pool
than it now is, by far.

Voters Of the second district, you have
not vauqushed Poland but only won one
victory. Ono more will complete the tri.
umph, but he is determined you shall not
have that. Everything betokens that the
ring party are going to make one last des-
peratc struggle to safe their waning pres
tige, and retain their hold upon the district
by electiug Poland If the thing is within
their power The Woodstock Standard
says: "Poland is still alive and doing his
utmost to win himself or smash things gen.
orally. Circulars in his interest, purporting
to come from the district committee, and
votes for him also, are being industriously
circulated throughout the district"
This means that although you have once,
by majority against him Of over 1000, in-
formed him that his services were no longer
needed, he intends if the thing be possible
to steal march on you and go to Congress
in spite Of majority of his constituents.
Let every voter go TO the polls next Tuesday,
at one o'clock in the afternoon, and there is
no danger of defeat. Vote for Denison or
M'Lane and you will be doing yourself cred
it in either case. If all the voters come out
both these gentlemen will stand ahead Of the
judge, so there is no need of any attempt at
consolidation. Every vote cast for any 9TH
er man is vote for Poland, as it diminishes
the plurality Of one of these against him.
Every vote not cast is SO much in Peland's
favor. Then let one and all show themselves
at the polls, at one o'clock, Tuesday after
noon, aud give us one election where the re-
suit shall be the expression of the will of the
people, unawed by any ring clique, or party.

The Woodstock Post thinks that those who
fear Poland is going into tho contest for
Congress, in the second district, are more
scared than hurt,-Repubt1cdn.
Several Poland papers have made similar
remarks, as though they really believed the
Denison men thought there was a ghost OF
show for Poland. The fact is that nobody
save some of the blindest Poland men thinks
the judge has any show at all, and we must
expect those who thought he was going to
walk the track in spite of the people will
yet cling to the ridiculous belief that the
ring can still control this district.
