Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1878-07-15


With ne apparent disposition to cover at +;
LII what most men would consider most ,
mean, disreputable business. Times
we're hard and from S to SIS each Sc
cured a good number of votes. They
we're confident of success and flushed
with visions of easy victory; but the
result of the ballot showed that they
lacked just about $22. The delegates
were instructed to vote for Gen. Circuit
until he was nominated or the last shad-
ow of hope had gone and the meeting
closed with three rousing cheers for the
General. It was very pretty little
game but did not work. Great praise
is due our citizens, who rallied so gen.
orally when the game was known, broke
the back of the Barlow opposition and
saved the town and the party from foul
disgrace. We have heard of votes be-
ing bought and have in some cases seen
very strong circumstances to warrant |
suspicious, but for open, bold, high
handed, brazen-faced operations of this
character this has no parallel in this
part of Vermont. When offers of from
81 to S. vote are made in the most
open manner upon public streets no won
der that people are excited and rally to
MAINTAIN the right And this is the
course Mr.. Barlow is following all
through the district. Is such fit man
to represent us in congress /? If he will
buy votes, won't he as readily sell his
principles ?-Enpress, July 9.

y CALEDONIA COONIY.
Last Monday night, thief stole
t harness from the premises of Henri,

e the thief is the very man who stole tn

ed him off on to Hoffman.
The Union reports runaway at Xii
by, by which Henry Wetherbee, wit
and three children were thrown violent
3 ly to the ground, but not seriously hurt
'e also the destruction of covered bugg
u and the injury of Mrs. Wright of Lyr
ct don, by frightened horse.
1t is evident from information recei,
ed from all parts of Caledonia. Orlear
and Essex counties, that the hay Gro
N is going to be light-probably less tina
" an average. This is the more strane
~ as very little grass was winter killet
. and there was never a better start fl
grass than that given this spring. tt
a. inevitable conclusion is that it was IL
s. severe frost the 7th of June that stoppe
:. its growth. Had the first ten days
: July been wet instead of dry and ho
re the crop would have recovered but it
ey now too late, and it is evident that I'll
he greatest damage done by the frost
ey Vermont, was to the grass crop. Coz
ba and potatoes seem to be recovering
