ONE of the speakers at the "hon-
esty and reform" meeting, Wednes-
day evening, urged the people to
vote against Horace Fairbanks for
Governor, because, during the clos
ing hours of the session of the Yer
mont General Assembly, in 1874, Il
bill was passed-perfectly proper in
every respect-by which the firm OF
which he is a member would be saw
ed from paying certain amount iD
taxes, it being presumed that he was
in favor thereof and urged it's pas
sage. The law was perfectly proper
in every respect, simply providing
that stockholders of a manufacture
ing corporation or company should
not be taxed in this State for pro-
perty on which they paid taxes in
another State. We do not intend
to say anything in reference to this
act, we simply desire to ask ques-
ton. If the passage of this act
constitutes an objection to Mr.. Fair
banks, what shall we say of VIM.

Mr.. EDITOR: Starting from the

hot but otherwise pleasant run to
Newport, from thence we had the
lake breeze and pleasant shower to
LeuoxvilIe. Before reaching l.. we
pass in full view Of and close by
large copper mines located in Ascot.
At Len0Xvile the burnt district has
been re. built with substantial brick
buildings.
The Methodist Church is a large
brick structure, built in 1875, cost
Ing ten or twelve thousand dollars.
TO the east Of the depot is a large
steam lumber mill and the celebrat-
ed Bishops College, large brick
structure somewhat damaged by
fire, now. This is a fine farming
town, just hlly enough to be pleas
ant. 1t can all be worked by ma

grain, better than in Vermont, corn

The MAN THAT ALWAYS WINS.
The man who led the desperate
charge across the treacherous mo-
rass at Winchester lived to over
come in the political arena the Dem
ocratic leaders of Ohio, Allen G.
Thurman. George 81. PendletOn,
and Governor Allen. He lived al
so to become the embodiment Of all
the principles opposed to the finan-
cial sophistries, the ill-concealed
dishonesty, and the arrant demagog-
ism of which these leaders were the
opponents and the representatives.
His election was q triumph of able
and cautious leadership, and of the
bold and steadfast championship of
public faith and conscience against
the mischievous intriguers who pal
tered in a double sense with these
essentials of the stability of the
State.

A TRANSFORMATION. Before the
st. Louis nomination John Kelly
displayed long list of prominent
New York Democrats who were op-
posed to Samuel j. Tilden. But
Samuel was chosen by the faithful,
and now the Tammany chief eats
crow with as much satisfaction as if
it was turkey. TO Kelly's sight
the unpardoned sinner of yester-
day has become the cannonized
saint of to-day. Poor dcluded souls,
they don't like Tilden, but they do
want reform and so they join
hands with the short. haired crowd
and sing the praises of Iilden, the
reformer.

BENJAMIN II. BRIsToW. late Sec
rotary of the Treasury, has been in
vited by the Republican State Com.
mittee to take part in the canvass
in this State, and will speak in Bur
lington during the present week,
and in Rutland at some future day.
In the meanwhile, the ultra-admin
istration organs are busy attackin g
his personal character and official
record. He is charged with prosti-
tuting his Office to his personal am
bition with subordinating the pub,
lie interests to his own selfish aims E;
that he is, and has been, "a self
seeking and cOntriving politician )"
and that the President was long
suffering and full of kindness but,
at last. was compelled to eject him
from the cabinet. This stuff, the
administration organs, those con-
trOlled and run by post office, are
now retailing. 1t cannot injure Mr..
Bristow. This kind of abuse will
the rather raise him in the cstima-
ton of the people. The publication
of such stuff, however, shows the
kind of administration these men
desire, and will serve to awaken the
peopie to the fact that it is not safe
to trust to such journals. But it
seems to us, that so long as Mr..
BristOw comes to Vermont by spe-
cial invitation of the Republican
State Committee, a common regard
for decency would suggest that these
attacks cease, and especially that
they should not be made by those
who have so recently aspired to a
position on the State Committee.
If, coming as the guest Of the Re
publican party Of Vermont, he can.
not receive the treatment which
common decency and due regard
for our boosted hospitality would
dictate, the State Committee would
do well to recall the invitation and
cancel the appointments already
made.-Rutldnd Globe.
