Editor Rutland Globe Il believe have
not o5truded my views upon your readers
thus far in the present presidential cam
paign, nor is 1t for me now to dictate to
you your political line CT policy. How
ever, as you profess to conduct an indie
pendent journal, and az q portion OF your
subscribers are democrats, our party
should at least, expect fsir play, truth
aud justice in the columns of The GLOBE.
shall tere admit that once in while the
eayin.ra and doinss of the democracy have
been toleraby fairly reported and COM
menied upon. Then again, like the COW
that gives good mess of milk, ysu haye
kicked il all over. by very ingenious slurs
and inuendoes ON our speakers, our candi-
dates aud our doings. Rutland county has
just cast 2,104 democratic votes for gov
ernor, being GAO more than in 1872, and
now the largest democratic vote of any
county in the state The town Of Rutland
has just polled 9i9 votes for the democrat

est democratic vote of any town IN the
state. With the foregoing figures for the
democracy, in face of the fact that we are

only about two-thirds of the citizens in
either state took part in the election ? The
