The Franklin County Bolt.
WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF 1T.
From the Bratteboro Phpnix.
With 1000 Republican majority
in the District the Barlow men probably
think they can afford TO play with fire in
this way, but in doing so they will not have
the sympathy of the better class of Repub-
licans in the State.
From the Middlebury X egister.
$50 At the Hydepark Convention Barlow
and his supporters seemed to accept the re-
suit like men. and at this time there was no
hint or suspicion of bolt. The present
movement is not called for by the people of
that District. who are perfectly satisfied
with Gen. circuit, their nominee. Ii Barlow
accepts this nomination he ought to be bur
ried under majority for his opponent, that
will satisfy him As to whether no i9 call
ed" 1t is the mesnest bolt of tho year.

What of it? Does the FREE Pass own the
party? II not, is it worth while to de-
stroy the party to punish the FREE
Press? The managers of that paper will
no doubt be surprised to learn that the Re-
publicans of franklin county hate the
FREE Press more than they love the Repub-
licsn party. As Democrat We are in
hearty sympathy with that position, but
looking upon it from Republican stand
point We pronounce it folly in stipend
Gus degree, and suicidal, most direct and
emphatic.
From tho Boston Advertiser
The bolt in the Third Vermont District is
wild and ugly attempt to punish the party
Tor not submitting to the dictation of the
St: Adams crowd. The prospect Of accom-
plishing anything but the humiliation of
those who have engaged in the movement is
happily not disturbing.
lrEom tuo Dosion heralu.l
The boiling Republican movement n the
Third Vermont District is not one from
which any good results can be hoped. lie
is the result OF the combination of the
Greenbackers and some dissatisfied Ioliti-
clans. backed by Bradley Barlow's money.
Barlow is Government contractor. and
wants to go to Congress for what he can
mako. Failing to get the regular nomina-
ton, be is investing his means in this bolt.
