not have been the candidate. So far as
that is concerned, he is no less accepta-
BILE to the supporters of the regular
nominee than Mr.. Crane would have
been. They only felt that having put
Mr.. Crane in nomination and no dis
scnting voice being raised ii was
hardly the right thing to forsake him at
the election. Until now ii has not
seemed important that any reasons
should be assigned for the result of the
vote upon this matter. But the rcfec-
tons of the Union upon Judge Brook
ins and the temperance people of Addi-
son county are uncalled for and unjust,
and we cannot let them pass without
comment.
We apprehend that the twa effective
causes of the large majority against Mr..
Crane at the election were these: First,
a prejudice against his experiment in
putting poison labels upon bottles of
liquor obtained at the town agency
and, secondly, the personal popularity
of Judge Brookins. The other causes
were only local and limited in their in
flucncc.
In regard 10 the first cause. however
unrcasoning or trivial we may deem il =.
the people had a right to express at the
ballot box their approval or disapprov-
al of the use of these labels. 1t was
a matter outside of the law; not rcouir-
ed of him, and if allowable at all. only
as a discretionary matter. BY their
votes the people have said they don't
want these labels put upon the bottles.
Their wishes ought to be respected.
With regard to the other matter. we
have nothing to say. If citizens will
only manifest their personal preference
es when their choice falls upon those in
every way equally well qualified for Of
fetal positions, and as good examples of
morality, integrity and honor as the
candidates who are not their personal
choice, we need not complain. Mr..
Crane has been good commissioner.
and Mr.. Drookins will not be less so.
We regret as much as any one thing,
the embarrassment under which the
commissioner-elcct finds himself. His
candidacy was without his consent, and
his election against his will. lie was
not aware that his name was beino u.eG
until too late for public refusal. The
result OF the election shows the wishes
of the people that he should serve them
in this capacity, and he does not feel Lat
liberty to now refuse. And still he
must feel that possibly his position in
relation TO the liquor law is misundcr-
stood, or at least that there may be sus-
picions of his motives of action in the
discharge of the duties of his Office Ger
tainly such ''twaddlc" as the Union in
dulged i'll would have tendency to
mislcad those who do not know the
Judge. and who do not think for them
selves on this or any other subject.
There is however only one course open
TO any honorable gentleman holding this
position. That is, to consider the spirit
of the law creating the Office and dciln-
ing IL duties, and faithfully and honest
ly to carry it out. This judge BrooEin,
will do. and that i. enough.

The cause of this strange action on his
