Addison County Politics.

Since the "bo,ers, for they can be called
outside this county and advertise their spec
ial convention it is no more than fair that
the facts in the case should also be made
known to outsiders. Your correspondent
has known for sometime that efforts were
being made to secure names to such call.
AS it was a sectional affair apparently 1t
was not worth while 10 burden other coun-
ties with it, when they had trouble of their
own. But as 1t has since appeared that it
is simply a fair bargain between the tenn
pcrance men and democratic leaders or
would be leaders here to pay off personal
grudges and help elect each ticket it be-
hooves all the republicans to know the in
side movement.
The movement was first commenced by
an out and out democrat who as silent part
ner has within year been interested in a
saloon in Vergennes. The place was CON-
planned Of twice and through the efforts of
the etates attorney was twice fined.
Next, these very men who combine with
this democrat have fought him at the polls
and at one time complained and had him
arrested for disturbing public meeting.
The states attorney has opposed this man
through all, consequently he opposes Mr..
Chapman.
The next person most interested is man
who four years ago voted for Greeley
(but he is not to be blamed for that This
year he is republican-ls he? He attended
the caucus, possibly voted for the city del
egation, and not until after the caucus was
over did he object. He allowed the del
egation to go to the convention without
protesting.
AT Middlebury Mr.. Chapman was NOM
mated for reelection by vote of "a to "a
9 scattering; good majority. 1t was a
delegate convention so of course no at
tempt was made as there was two years ago
to refuse the ratification by calling in out
siders and non-voters.
Mr.. Chapman remained in Vergennes
two weeks after the convention. 1t was
common report that he was to be absent
until Sept. on visit to lows, yet nothing
was said until after he had been absent
sometime. He left here July 10.h. Then
the democratic list was circulated for new
republican convention, mass. not dele
gate. The temperance men joined hands
and proposed to have a convention. But
when and where TIE next day after
camp meeting under the auspices Of Rev.
W. W. Atwater Of Burlington, Chittenden
county and at the camp meeting grounds
between New Haven and Brooksville.
(Notbing pat up IN this)
Several gentlemen who find that their
names are on the call knew nothing about
it until the call was published in THE
GLOBE, and now most emphatically declare
their intention 10 stand by Mr.. Chapman.
Would republican papers -ay anything
about such proceedings in democratic
convention.
These persons who issue the call say the
delegation from Vergennes was packed.
Would the whole vote of that delegation
affect the result were such thing true.
We trust the voters of this country will see
the road these men are leading them to ru-
in on, and stop. If these bogus convcn-
tions are to be followed what will be the
use Of having delegate conventions if the
nominations are 10 be thrown aside because
some few voters have personal differences
with the nominees? That Mr.. Chapman
viii be elected by as proportionate major
iy as at the convention is the opinion of
yours truly, b.
