St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1878-07-05

Gus nominations are not considered as
they were wont to be.
Let us look at some of the other nom-
nations: Mr.. Church of Kirby is a
man whose character and reputation is
clean and clear; a good temperance
man and all right. In the town ad-
joining (Burke), Mr.. Joel Trull is NOM
mated. These are for judges. Mr.
Trull has been merchant, 1 believe,
most of his life, and is now the owner
of hotel, and he and his son David
run it. 1t is generally understood that
the father has always been rumseller,
and that they Che and sony have kept a
Rum Hole. No apology need be made
for these statements. When a man is
before the people as candidate for of
fee he becomes public property, and
the public have right to know all
about him.
Would it not be well to retain ole OF
the present judges instead of electing
Mr.. Trull ? 1t is quite proper that the
people of this county should put theil
protests against a nomination that is
against the wishes of the people, and
that was brought about by few men,
ex-judges and sheriffs, going into few
towns in the north part of the county
and making distinct propositions to
bargain and '9og-roll" before the con,
vention. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

only safeguard Patterson had, and if he

in the quiet of a penitentiary is sure tC
follow.
