BARLOW CLIPPINGS.
The following is taken from the st.
Adams Messenger:

Adams Messenger:
Now the Free Pcrss SAYS Mr.. Barlow Is
using money IN the campaign. ~ Is
very likely. There are Away legitimate
campaign expenses which a candidate
ought to pay II he IL able TO, aud Mr.. Bar
low never shrlnks from an honorable OBJ
But he has not entered the
field as some OF the candidates OF the
Free Pres did, trying TO buy the innu-
ence Of newspapers and public men, aud
he has not expended a single dollar In the
circulation Of documents or newspapers
calculated to iniure others or advance him
self. 1t comes with i'll grace. therefore,
for a paper. large bundles Of which can
be found In every waste basket In the
district. aud which of course were not
given away by the publishers. to charge
that the candidate to which they are OPP
posed is paying the expenses of his cam
paign. Il comes with i'll grace for those
who alone have made the most shameless
use of money, to raise a cry against the
necessary and customary use which Mr..
Barlow Is not mean enough 10 refuse or
false enough to deny.
They have accused him Of being a dem
ocrat. when Vermont has not had a bet
ter republican than he since the outbreak
of the civil war. lie was endorsed as
such, in terms ofhighest eulOgy. by the
Burlington Free Press as long as ten
years ago. lie has been so strong q Re
publican that the democratic papers have
teemed with abuse of him in the same
connection with their efforts to break
down the party, and now, so unscrupu-
lous has been the effort of interested par
ties to destroy him as n candidate, that,
republicans though they arc, they have
not hesitated to use the democratic amu-
milton that was long ago exploded by the
records Of the government, the testimony
of high officials aud Mr.. Barlow's own
frank and manly story. They sent thou
sands of copies of these papers through
out the district. The job was ~umdoubted-
" profitable to the Free Press, and the
expense was jointly borne, as we have
been informed, by Messrs. Grout and
Sowles, but the effect has been a disap-
pointment.
The public opinion in favor of Mr.. Bar
low, in the region where he has been
known all his busy life, amounts to al
most entire unanimity. The attempts to
misrepresent him to other communities
are resented almost as q personal matter
bv his fellow citizens, and the primary
meetings that are now so soon to be held
will show, unless W. greatly mistake the
indications, how high is the regard in
which he is held and how broad and deep
and earnest is the condemnation put upon
those who have attempted to destroy his
good name.
More than three-fourths of the promi-
nent men of the district, including the
present representative, are i'll his favor
He is a business man and not a mere talk
era man of deeds, not words he knows
men. understands affairs, loves his coun-
try, THINKS for himself and has the cour-
Q of his convictions. Republicans, we
honor ourselves in honOring such a man
and for the support Ofmora and more such
men the needs of the country cry.-St.
Adams Messenger.
The following is from the Essex Co.
Herald published at Island Pond. 1t
very strongly indicates what we have
been recently led to believe, that Es-
sex Co. may be solid for Dale but it
does not spontaneously follow Grout,
but if Dale does not run, and he prob
ably will not, then a large vote in Es-
sex County will go for Barlow:
Outside of our own county, laying
the question OF locality aside, it seems
to us from all we a learn, that Mr..
Barlow's fitness for the Office is pre-
eminent. He has ripper age, long ex-
perience in local offices and legislative
duties, q wider acquaintance with the
public men of the country than most
any other MAI in Vermont, and with
al, is a sound, enterprising, active and
an honest man. AS the head of the
great overland stage route and express
firm of Barlow, Sanderson & Co., he
has done more during the last fifteen
years to advance the borders of our
civilization and make habitable the
vast country between the Mississippi
and the Pacific than any other mar
within our knowledge. At home he
is president of a national bank, but
though his interest is large, he has for
years been an unspoken opponent of a
system which taxes the people fifteen
or twenty millions q year to furnish a
capital upon which private corpora
tons are to make money. A man with
such disinterested patriotism as that
out to be sent where his voice and
vote can tell. In early life Mr.. Bar,
low was a practical and hard working
farmer and he still maintains interest
in agricultural pursuits, and a broad
identity of views with the producing
classes. He is also said to be a very
public spirited man, having given very
largely in former years to the church.
es in st Adams, and to charitable and
benevolent institutions in Burlington
and elsewhere. He has long held 6
leading position in the republican par
ty in Vermont, and ifsent to Congress
would be sure to reflect credit upor
his district, and show himself a wor'
thy son of the state which has furn.
ished aCollamer, an Edmunds, Nor
rill and a Willard, to say nothing o
others who have gained a nationa
reputation. These consideration
dwarf all others, and mark him as tn,
coming man.
