The Vermont Independents.

The most genuinely patriotic celebra-
tion of the Fourth in Vermont was the
sitting of that independent Windham
county convention at BrattlebOrO. 1t
is something worth clarifying when the
people who are dissatisfied with the
candidates offered by the politicians
will take the pains to satisfy their con-
sciences by putting a clean ticket in the
field. The resolutions adopted at BIat-
tlebOrO do not read like those of an Or
binary political convention they are
clearly not made by men trained to
the business of building platforms. +
A body so honestly frank-spoken, and
believing in the ''repudiation of all I'M
worthy nominations" could not but
free its mind upon the subject of the
state tickets provided by the ring men
of the old parties. Quite number
were for nominating outright ex-COn-
gresham Willard of Montpelier for
governor, and A. B. Gardner of Ben
ningtOn for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, but
it was finally decided to instruct the
independent county committee to cor
respond with the best men in other sec
lions of the state about the ACCESSIBILITY
of holding an Independent state con-
ventiOn.-Springttei Republican.

The Third District.

The political pot in the Third Dis
trict is Just boiling. The newspapers
are full of loaded matter, and there is
no end to the good things said about
the candidates-or the bad either. The
delegates for the Hyde Park convention
the oath, are now being elected. 1t is
expected that Franklin county will go
solid for Barlow, and Orleans solid for
Grout. The General expects also to
carry the most of Essex, and a good
share of Lamoille; while Mr.. Barlow
depends largely on Lamoille and Chit
tenden to give him a majority.
The most exciting caucus was held
in Burlington Saturday night, drawing
ont III votes and the anti-Barlow
ticket of 10 delegates was elected by a
good majority, although the Barlow
organs claim that it is not for GrOut.
From all we can learn we infer Burling-
ton may cast its first vote for some third
man, or it may give it to Circuit. Had
Barlow carried the Burlington delega-
ton, he would have had a pretty sure
thing; and as it is, his chances seem
better than GIout's although there are
not n few who think it will be impossi-
BILE TO nominate him. 1t is not impos-
sible but that Hendee will be taken up
again if either of the others will not
unite the strength of the District. This
would be the Governors "gOod luck"

to the objects of their creation, and that
their managers shall cease their at
tempts to control the legislative and
other branches of our State government.
No man who holds the "retainer" or
''free pass" of railroad company, can
impartially exercise legislative or judi
cial functions when the interests of that
company are involved. We demand
such legislation as will prevent any
railroad company from giving to, OF any
executive or legislative or judicial Off
Ger of this State, accepting from any
railroad company or official, any ''re-
tainer" or ''free pass" during his term
of service.
5. The imperative demand of the
times is independent action among all
good citizens. The way to secure good
men for office, is to repudiate all un-
worthy nominations. We hereby de-
clare our purpose to support such men
only as we believe honest, economical
and capable, regardless of party or
caucus dictatiOn.
