The Detdmer, while admitting that Mr..
Balestier would not willingly mis-state fact,
asserts that he spoke of Hancock's intended
pronunciamento in the electoral contest of
1861 without qualification" which is a
palpable mis-statement of the fact. 1t also
AYERS that this dangerous step of Han
cock was taken before and not after the deci-
sion of the electoral commission, and that
this view is supported by three witnesses
against one. Let us see.
Two questions are at issue First, what
did "Baldy" Smith say at Waterbury and,
second, what is the true inwardness" of the
matter? Mr. Atkins and Mr.. Forbes, cores
pondent of the Boston journal, heard what
Gen. Smith said at Waterbury, and it is al
legged that they understood him in different
ways. If Gen. Smith is admitted as a wit
ness, there would be two to one in favor of
Smith having said that Hancock's threat pre-
coded the electoral commission. Chas Nord-
hof, Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, is lugged in as an additional
witness to confirm Atkins; but Nordhoff was
not at Waterbury at all. In the sequel it will
appear that even the two-against-one is a
rather shaky theory. The reporter of the
Boston Globe says he had an interview with
Atkins as to what Smith said, and Atkins
thereupon made a statement beginning in
these words: soon after the electoral COM
mission had promulgated its decision, Gen.
Hancock wrote" etc. In commenting, in his
own newspaper, upon this interview, Atkins,
speaking of himself in the third person. said /:
''Hhe statement he made the Boston Globe
reporter is true in e0e'y respect, and he THAT
is, Atkinsl will stand by it, That the report
err did not get it quite correct in writing it out
is not his fault" The part that was not
quite correct was understood to be the mis-
taking Sheridan for Sherman as the recipient
of Hancoek's letter But subsequently, viz,
July Sd, Atkins had new statement in the
Boston. Globe, in which he took the ground
that Smith had said at Waterbury that Han
cocks letter was before and not after the cleo
toral commission. The Defdmer says Atkins
is Cheeky" but We presume Mr.. Atkins
means to tell the truth, even if he is a little

Our Second District convention, which
meets next week for the purpose of putting
in nomination a candidate to represent us in
Congress, will undoubtedly re-nominate the
present incumbent, James NJ. Tyler of this
place. Mr.. Tyler, during the brief period he
has been in Congress, has made an honora-
bic record for himself, and by his industry
and fidelity has obtained a standing in
that body second to no other Representative
from this State.
few weeks ago there was not the slight
est intimation that any opposition was to be
made to Mr.. Tyler's denomination. At the
present time there are indications that an eff
fort is being made to raise the question of
the advisability of returning him to Congress-
This attempt, whatever there is of it, has
quite recently come to the surface. 1t seems
to be based upon the disastrous failure of the
bank of which Mr.. Tyler happened to be a
director. That any effort of this character
should be made upon this fact by any place
seekers or disappointed politicians is to be
lamented. The public, as well as the imme-
diate sufferers by the heartless rascalities of
S. NJ Waite, should pause long enough to in
HulEt hntlueI MI. yer uhu any guilty.
knowledge of the condition of the bank, or
whether he had come to suspect, what no
one else suspected, viz, that the apparent as
sets of the bank consisted of forged paper.
We believe that bank directors should be
faithful in the discharge of their duties, and
we do not purpose to excuse or justify any
negligence upon the part of such officials,
but when it turns out that the assets of tho
bank disappeared several years ago, while
other competent and highly respectable men
were directors, and when it further appears
that Waite, by his cunning and astounding
villany, succeeded in GLIDING the vigilance of
bank examiners, whose special business and
duty itisto investigate institutions of this char
acter, candor and fair treatment alike demand
that the people of this District, and especial
ly of this county, should hesitate before they
join hands with Mr.. Tyler's political or per-
sonal enemies in the organization of any OPP
position to his denomination.
1t should also be remembered, in connec-
ton with the matter, that no wrong intention
has ever been imputed to, or want of integri-
ty charged against Mr.. Tyler that he did
not seek the position which, two years ago,
he was called upon TO fill, and that it was the
unanimous voice of the people of the Dis
trict through their convention which took
him from the business of his profession and
placed him in Congress- There, honest, eff
cient and ereditable service has been render
ed by him, and, unless there are reasons 9TH
err than those which have come to our knowl-
edge, he should not now be set aside and con-
demned by being refused a denominations
courtesy which long established usage has ac-

tardy in his explanation But IL one had not
happened TO see the explanation, he might
well assume that, IL Smith made any state
ment at all, he made il as understood by Mr..
Forbes, the correspondent Of the Boston
journal
But in support Of the main question as TO
when Hancock actually wrote his letter. we
have reason 10 believe that Mr.. Balestier was
Influenced by a statement in the New York
Times, which is an extremely moderate Re-
publican paper. The Times says; "An army
officer on duty at Washington, who has had
excellent facilities for gaining information in
relation to the matter, confirms the story that
Gen. Hancock declared his intention imne.
didtcLy after the announcement of the deci-
sion Of the electoral commission" II this be
true, the position Of Hancock himself is sus
picious. On June 25th Times reporter call
ed on him and asked for information. The
Times says, ale hesitated then declared il
was not true as regarded Gen. Sheridan, and
would make no further statement about it,"
So as to when Hancock actually wrote, we
have 'lady" Smith Gas il stands now on one
side, and the Washington army officer on the
other side, while Hancock pcnsively straddes
the fence.
But does 1t alter the indecency of the act
whether Hancock wrote before or after the
commission Tho cTrontcry in the latter
case would have been greater, but is the real
offence any grcaterI Here was the question
of the presidency undetermined before Con-
gress the people were much agitated and di-
vided as to what course should be pursued If
the House decided one way and the Senate
the other and in the midst of the great trou-
BILE Gen. Hancock throws his sword into the
scale against the North, which had given a
vast majority Of its vote to Hayes, aud says
he, a soldier is of the opinion that, in spite
Of violence and fraud in several Southern
States, Tilden had been duly elected and he,
Hancock, a subordinate military commander,
would be ready on the 4th Of March to obey
Tildens orders and TO use the troops of the
United States as il they were his own private
property, to maintain Tilden's authority.
How much did this differ from the ordinary
Mexican pronunciamento How can sol
der who, in advance Of any complication
arising, threatens TO take sides with his own
political party, be trusted with the Office Of
Chief Executive of the United States

And there is that dreadful DeGolyer story .
What is it? Why, that Mr.. Parsons of
Cleveland, an eminent lawyer, retained Gen.
Garfield as his associate counsel with 5000
fee. 1t was big case, and the fec was in
proportion. 1t was not possible for Gen.
Garfield to help his client by doing anything
for him in Congress. The case was in the
courts, and not the subject of legislation in
any way. The litigation grew out of gov
eminent contract but the government had
nothing to do with it. What business of the
DRvenports is it that Gen. Garfield accepted
this fee from his brother lawyer, Parsons !?
Would Mr.. Davenport, senior, have refused
ii All who know the gentleman well will
hurry to say Eyes, of course !" Yet Daven-
port, senior, took a retainer-perhaps in the
shape of a forged note-from the fugacious
Waite, to oppose the completion of the Brat
tleboro and Whitehall railroad by the New
London Northern company. And after its
boss got that retainer, it was wonderful how
the Detamer's feelings toward Waite became
changed and Modified. Oh, no Mr. Daven-
port wouldn't have taken fee in the De Col

The Detamer boy made sorry work, last
week, of his attempt to palliate or explain
away Col. Dickey's volley of campaign lies.
Perhaps the youth will surprise his readers
this week by quoting Mr.. Dickey's bald false
hood about Gen. Garfeld's participation in
the salary grab, and supplementing it with
Treasurer Gilflan's letter, published by us last
week, in which he says that Gen. Garfield new
err drew his share of the grab, but was the third
man to cover the money into the treasury and
plAcei forever beyond hisreac And so of the

haps the young man will quote eminent Dem

Ju.t Mherc We Rtnnd.

Dropping for the moment all personal feel
ing, and all desire to make point or chit a
head we desire to say, candidly and plainly,
that, as the conservator and exponent of the
Republican cause in Windham county, The
PHOENIX has taken hold of this campaign to
fight it through on every point and in every
direction precisely as the exigency of the case
may seem to demand. A sort Of preliminary
announcement was made by our Democratic
neighbor, at the time of the Cincinnati con-
vention, that in this canvass there was TO be
no mud-throwing and no personal detraction
an announcement which we noted with
pleasure and acce pied in perfect good faith
But Immediately the national Democratic
nominations were made, this same neighbor
opened with volley of mean and unwarrant-
ed abuse of nearly every local Republican of
any prominence and following this came the
Democratic ratification meeting, when il APP
peared that speaker had been imported for
the occasion to delibe rately vilify the head of
the Republican national ticket, while the local
Democratic boss, then publicly declared as
such, made known his purpose, through unc-
tious words and high-sounding pretensions of
past and present loyalty, to cover up his po-
ltical record and attempt to lead cd soldiers
and unsuspecting young voters into the DEM
ocratic meshes. Our duty at once became
plain. The gau inlet was thrown down, and,
without loss of self.respect and the forfeit
ure of the con fidence Of our constituents, we
could not help accept it, meet fire with fire,
and in plain English, fight the devil with
his own weapons, avoiding only and always
the Democratic expedient of unfounded per-
sonal detraction, dirty epithets, and mean in
nuendoes. To do all this is no pleasant task,
and we are compelled to it solely by the ext
gencies of the case. We give notice, there
fore, that, without personal or malicious feel
ing, and in spite of whining protestations in
public or in private, that worthy man is be-
ing unjustly abused and maligned, we shall
vigorously defend the Republican cause
throughout the campaign. Not even the driv-
elling charge, thousand times repeated, that
b. d. Harris, Col. Haskins, or who not is do
ing all this, will deter us from our duty.
Ever since it forced itself into existence, it
has been the method of the Defamer to try to
break the force of telling blow by shouting
that it was some person other than the editor
of this paper who gave it, and our friends
have oftener been honorod by the charge than
we have been annoyed by it. Hundreds of
times, in the interests of common decency,
we have kept still when our friends cried out
that We ought to strike back. Now, however,
We are not only standing in self-defense, but
have taken the aggressive, and it is well under
stood by every intelligent person that it is not
our own cause which we are championing, but
that of all the Republicans of WindhAm coun-
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-07-23

Charles has an original way of putting it.
He says $751; was paid into Hancocks oil
company (Which never 'struck ile'), and that
the whole amount was lost but as Hancock
padded out of the swindle at that point, he
saved nine-tenths of the capital" What
capital did Hancock SAGE Why the capitalthat
was not paid in ! But the poor soldiers who
were humbugged by Hancocks name into
putting in part of the $500 never saw a
penny of their money back. AS a master of
salvage Hancock cannot be beaten, and such
greenhorns as Charles cannot fail to be daz-
zled by the Generals abilities in saving ain
could not get. Hancock, by virtue of his
Texas Order No. 40, has already posed as a
statesman. Here is n chance to gain renown
as fnancier. Tell Thurman.

All the treasury and sub-treasury vaults are
full of the new silver dollars, and the govern
ment officers are at a loss TO know what to do
with those which must be coined between
this and December, when Congress again
meets. All efforts to force these dollars into
circulation have failed, and no sooner does
the government pay out silver than it comes
back into the treasury for duties or in ex-
change for silver certificates. OF the sixty
three millions of standard dollars coined only
nineteen millions are in circulation, the re-
naming forty-four millions being locked up in
the treasury vaults And still the coinage of
the dollars continues at the rate of two million
three hundred thousand per month.

The Dcfdmer announces that its RESPONSE
bic proprietor and senior editor, like the poor
bowildered darkey, 'has taken to the woods. -
In the opinion of THE PHOENIX he didn't 60 a
moment too soon, and lie had better stay
there, too, till this ugly storm blows over.
We will wager a pint of peanuts that he would
now cheerfully give away every dollar Of his
neigh boris property in charity il he had done
the same prudent thing 81 xteen to twenty
years ago, instead of making those vile cop
perhoad speeches, which are rising up like
ugly ghosts, to brighten and torment him. In
his fight to the wilderness, however, he APP
pears to have stopped long enough in MARI
boro to write back TO his 'organ" a letter
highly complimentary to himself for his be-
nevolence in m.oney-lending virtue OF
which he has never even been suspected by
his bosom companions, so modestly has he
concealed it all these years. In justice to
himself, he ought to overcome his sensitive
bashfulness sufficiently to tell the public, on
the stump or through his newspaper, more
about his own virtues. He is the only man
who appears to know any thing about them,
and his shrinking modesty ought not to de-
prive the public of light which can come
from no other source. Tell US some more,
pray do, Mr.. d.
