Col. Merrill throughout the canvass as a
good man, of high personal character and
honest purposes; and We reiterare that
opinion of him. His mistake was in allow
ing himself to be used as he was by some
foolish if no, false friends Had he had a
different introduction to the canvass at
home. and before 50 many Of his personal
friends in other parts of the State
had become committed to other candi-
dates, he would have made a very differ

We wish to add, in this connection that
we regret particularly the appearance of a
paragraph, which inadvertently found ad-

II there was any one thing more than
another demonstrated by the action Of the
Convention on Wednesday, it was the power
lessness OF the black mail Bohemians who
have recently squatted in Vermont to in

respectable journalism that Tombs shyster
does to a lawyer IN good standing, are the
authors OF the steaming mass of sensational

are the cheeky knaves that cody coin lies

out to everybody, wto will listen to them,
the lack OF enterprise and industry in the
Vermont Press, because they omit to
print the tables and lying scandals in order
to be called "newsy' and "spicy;" the
newsiness of corner gossip and the spiel
ness of an obscene book. IL is proper
that the public shall not be ignorant of its
dark ride Its social evils and criminalities,
but the fellows We refer to are those who
wiliully exsggerate or deliberately invent
evil news for base and mercenary pur-
pose. They have rioted about long enough
in Vermont. and for the future had best be
content to turn their batteries of filthy
falseboOds on Boston or Springfield. where
nobody either knows or cares whether they
lie or not, 80 long ss they are sensational
but when they aspire to take hand in our
public affairs, to mould aud guide our pub
