wss done in the matter. The three men waited an
hour and no further addition to the company arry-

and ready to wrcstle and that he had the neces-
sary entrance fee of 500 in his pocket to
make good his appearance at the time speci-

posed tournament should be allowed to
fall through. Miller expressed himself ready to
enter any contest whether Muldoon in II or

county. who have bestowed upon
him many favors. That he is supe-
lior to Judge Cole in any sense is
amply disputed from every stand
point. But the canvass is not and
need not be made on personal
grounds. The people of Wisconsin
have repeatedly pronounced against
a partisan judiciary, though we con-
fess that we do not understand why
a Judge may not be republican or
a democrat and be an upright judge.
In Difference to this sentiment chief
Justice Ryan and associate justice
Lyon were at different times elected
without opposition, and only last
spring associate justice Taylor and
orion, of opposite politics, were sup
ported on the same ticket by voters
of all parties. Republicans certainly
can have no excuse for supporting
Judge Cothren, and democrats can
not consistently oppose Judge Cole.
The generosity of the republicans,
when they could have elected re-
publican ia place of chief justice
Ryan, and in supporting associate
Justice Orion when they could have
elected republican in his stead,
should rot be permitted to go for
nought by the fair element of the
democratic party. They should now
render qatid pro quo, as near as 1t Is
practicable, and condemn the teach
ings of their party leaders in pre-
senting a partisan candidate, by
casting their ballots for Orsamus
Cole.

ONE member of Congress from
New York, Mr.. O'Reilly, is claimed
to be Ineligible to a seat in that
body because of the fact that during
the war he was, like the lrishman's
son, in government employ-"lcppin
the bounty" If this is true it ought
to be recommendation instead OF
a drawback to Mr.. O'Reilly. His
experience in stealing from the gov
ernment ought to put him forward
in Congress to chairmanship at
least.

AT the head of our columns to-day
we place the name Of Orsamus Cole,
the peoples Independent, non-parti-
san candidate for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. Being of
those who believe it best to have the
iudges of our court OF last resort
free as possible from political en-
tanglenent. we give Judge Cole cur
hearty support, as against Judge
Cothren, the regular nominee OF a

THE following article on the Ju
dicial subject from the Richland
County O6scrrer touches 1t very
neatly and properly;
The Hon. Orsomus Cole has been
solicited 10y men bels Of the bar and
of the legislature to again become
his own successor. We understand
this call upon him 20 have been made
without refer 1uce to partisan pre-
elections. Judge Cole is pre-em-
iuently fitted to continue in his
uresent position. The court as now
constituted is as fairly non-partisan
- it can we'll be- Judge Ryan and
Ortou are democrats Judge Lyon
aud Taylor are republicans and
while Judge Cole is a republican in
essentials, his long service on the
bench has made him conspicuously
conservative in his political acts and
associations. Indeed 1t IS doubtful
if canvass could be prosecuted IN
his behalf on a purely PARTISAN De-
half on purely partisan basis. 1t
is, therefore, in our Judgment,
peculiarly fit that he should be re-
e'ected. thereby continuing the court
il its present independent, non.par-
ti~an standing with all classes Of the
people.
In opposition to Judge Cole, the
democracy present the name Of
Judge Cothren of this circuit. That
he is party candidate, the manner
Of his nomination, the character o'
his support, and the appeals o. the
democratic press, abundantly testify.
1t is far from our purpose TO Getract
from the merits OF Judge Cothren as
a iurist or citizen. BE rs intimately

The Champlain Valley Fair.

The second annual fair of this society
was held at Vcrgennes, on the old fair
ground Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. Tuesday was devoted mainly to
the receiving of entries. At $3.50 M.
there was parade and review of the
fire department and hook and ladder
company. Hon. f. f. Woodbridge
made a very happy speech congratulate
ing the citizens on the efficiency of their
fire department.
Wednesday afternoon was devoted to
receiving entries and arranging exhibits.
At 2:30 +. NJ. the president, Hon. A. Il.
Smith made brief address, followed
by remarks by Hon. G. W. Grandcy.
The Secretary then read the report of
award of premiums. At $3.50 there
was a slow race which caused consider
able amusement. There were six
entries of the sorriest looking horses to
be found. The first money was award
ed the last one in, best two in three,
and was won by VIM. Labon.
The exhibit of horses was not as large
as it should have been, though there
were some very good single drivers and
matched teams entered. The cattle and
sheep exhibits were very good. In the
former the Jerseys being tho most
noticeable. In the sheep department
E. e. Everest and +. Linch were the
principal exhibitors OF Cotswolds, and
Wright Il Jackman, and o. c. Bacon
Il Sons of Merinos.
The display of vegetables was very
fine. The Vermont State Reform

Floral hall was literally packed with
Nncy articles, and the display was
UNUSUALLY good. w. w. Thomas exhi-
bftcd New England organ which was
much admired.
The fair as a whole was an improv-
ment on last year and with the hearty
cooperation of the residents of the
Champlain Valley can yet be made one
of the most successful fairs in this Sec
ton of the state. There has been some
talk of consolidating the Essex Junction
fair with this and making it pre-
emincntly the Champlain Valley fair,
which would be good move. p.

lL<The notable event of the week was
fthc wedding ceremonial and its attend
pant festivities, celebrating the marriage
of Miss Hattie l.. Chlds and Charles s.

The bride wore a lovely robe of creamy
white satin, adorned only with natural
flowers and the misty bridal vail, and
the bridesmaid, Miss Jessie Maud
Colby of Stanstead, Canada, was dress
cd in u bewildering maze of satin,
flowers and tullc. The fine face and
manly bearing of the bridegroom i'm
pressed us very favorabIy, and his
chest man." u. f. Wales, our former
townsman, played his part ia his usual
admirable manner. The party, preced-
ed by the gcntlemanly ushcrs, Mr.. w.
|. Twitchell and Rev. Horace James,
moved up the aisle to slow music, and
the impressive marriage service was
pronounced by Rev. DIR. Hubert, of
Middlebury college. At its close, near
ly all present repaired to the residence
of the brides father, j. A. Child, Est. j.,
where the newly welded pair received
the congratulations of their friends,
and numerous gifts in token of kindly
regard. We will not attempt to name
them in detail, but will mention as not
able in the choice collection, beautiful
family Bible from Samuel s. Wright,
who, in q few words of presentation,
expressed the hope that the blessed
truths it contains might prove their
guide through life. An elegant set of
Duchessc lace from Mr.. and Mrs. Colby,
attracted much attention-silver cake
basket from lady friends, together with
napkin rings, vases, etc., and the more
substantial articles of silver ware usual
upon like occasions. Many regrets
were expressed at the absence of Col.
a. L. Childs of st. Louis, and Hon.
Chas. G. Colby, M. p. AID lady, of
Stanstead, p. O., who were expected to
be present. The happy pair will re-
main in town few days only, and then
