70" Mr.. Geo. G. Underhill, one OF
the delegates elected by the Rutland
Democrats to the county convention,
declines the honor, and announces that
he shall support the Republican nomi.
noes at the polls the coming election.
His letter declining his election is such
an excellent statement of TIE difference
between the two parties, that we pub.
lish 1t entire. We believe there are moi
few northern Democrats who will
take the same sensible view of the DO
litical question this fall. The letter Is
as follows:
RUTLAND, W., July 10, 1880.
To JOHN A. SANFORD, CHAIRMAN OF
Town COMMITTEE:
DEAR SR,-My attention has been
called to the fact that was elected one
of the delegates tothe county conyen-
ton to be held at Rutland July 23, by a
caucus holden In the interest of the
Democratic party at Rutland on Satur-
day evening last, and take this early
opportunity to inform you that cannot
serve as such delegate for the reason
that / shall in the coming election sup
port the Republican National and state
tickets, and II good men are pnt In nom.
ination, the county and town as well.
Iu 1875 and 1876 1 came to believe that
with slavery abolished, the South would
abide by and sustain the logical results
OF the war and that the Southern peo-
pie we're being oppressed by the admin
istraticn then In power, and further
that the Republican party had be-
come corrupt and arrogant in its rule,
and was 30 controlled and directed that
1t was impossible for the rank and file
Of the party 10 break away from their
rulers and make the party as It Yas at

w The Wallace committee to inves-
tigate the restrictions upon Democratic
fraud in New York city have been tack
ling Chief Supervisor Davenport OF
that city, during the past week. His
revelations as to the issue of fraudulent
naturalization certificates in 1868 are
astounding. He testified in October, 1868,
that the Superior Court issued 10000
certificates, and Judge Barnard, another
of the ring judges, openedthe Supreme
Court for naturalization for the first
time, and in fifteen days issued 1887
certificates himself, as appears on the
court records at the present time. In
addition to this, these two courts is-
sued 10000 certificates which are not re-
corded, making total of Ga 900 certifi-
Gates issued in those courts, all but
$500 of which were issued in October.
One man, Patrick Golf, as appears by
the files Of the court, was witness for
2,l62 applicants in the month of Octo-
Der; John Moran was witness for L.
399; ten persons were witnesses for8, 245
applicants, and altogether one hundred
standing or professional witnesses ap-
peared for 10000 applicants, as appears
to-day by the court records. In the
Supreme Court Golf obtained 1000 GER
tifcate in one day, and 500 were offered
in Saratoga county in blank for
one dollar apiece. In 1868 United
States Marshal Murray, believing this
work was being done, sent number
of fictitious names to the Democratic
National committee, and in few hours
obtained certificates of naturalization
for all, on the payment of So each.
Applications wer made out at Demo-
cratic headquarters, and residences
were given in stone yards and vacant
lots. The courts extended their natu-
ralization operations 10 making
citizens for New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. Three thousand certificates,
which had been contracted for to be
delivered in Connecticut at so cents
each, were seized in a Prince street IL
quor store by the police, and much
more to the same effect. 1t is to pro-
tect such fraudulent operations that
the Democratic majority in Congress
has been striving oven to tho extent of
threatening to stop the support of the
government.

AFFRAY AT ST. ALBANs. AT st. Al
b ans, Saturday night, Dan Prince, a
colorcd man, went TO the Lake House
to get drink. While there he en-
countered two other men named Fal-
lon and Ackerman, who demande d that
he should "treat." To this Pri CO OBJ
jected, and some profano Language was
INDUCED In on both sides. Very soon
the parties went from words to blows,
and then left the house, going into the
treet where the fighting was renewed.
Fallon and Ackerman were somewhat
bruised, but Prince got the worst of it,
receiving a blow on the head which
rendered him unconscious and partially
paralyzed one side. There is some I'M
certainty as to his recovery, as the
wound is a bad one, an the skull may
prove to have been frac tured.

~ Under The heading of ''Troubling
the Clerks the Washington Post, u
Democratic paper, has the following
concerning an Addison county boy,
who, while deserving all that is said in
his praise, we are sorry to hear is In IA
vor of the Democratic nominees
Mr.. Charles N. Lapham, Union
soldier from Vermont, Republican,
and having lost both legs In the war,
is, like the vast majority of soldiers, a
Hancock man. But unlike the vast
majority of soldiers he holds Govern
ment position, clerkship in the Trca-
sury department. He is q blunt, out
spoken man, and perfectly fearless.
lie has not hesitated TO declare his posi-
ton in politics and his determination
to vote for Hancock. His bold utter
ances are listened to with trembling by
the bulldozed clerks in the Treasury
department., and he is spoken of as a
sort of wonder, because he dares to say
what he thinks, The general impress
sion prevails that he will be bounced
rs soon as Sherman returns, as an ex-
ample to all clerks to learn to think as
they are directed by tho Secretary Of
the Treasury.
This talk about Mr.. Lapham's being
"bouncsd" for expressing his opinions
is simply Democratic bosh, and we
submit that he ought not to train il
companywith such set OF slanderers.

u-Rochester, N. Y, Democrat

TRochester, N. Y, Democrats
have organized Hancock club, and
pledged themselves to abstain from the
use of all intoxicating liquors until
Hancock Is elected president of the
United States. For Democrats thus to
pledge themselves 10 abstain from an
absolute Democratic necessity for the
remainder of their lives puts DIR. Tan
ner's fast Of forty days completely in
the shade. The fact that they promise
themselves odd big drunk" as soon
as his election is assured will afford
them little consolation after November.

sents the Republican views completely

stalwart and sensible on the southern

about pro minent Democrats, who have
turned their backs upon their own party
and come out for Garfield and Arthur.

the state. He writes letter explain.

deceltfulness Of his party in regard to

RThe Democrats nominated I'm.
ion general for tho presidency in the
expectation that Republicans would be
fooled into voting for him. This is
shown by the exuberance OF the lies
published by the party organs claiming
large and important accessions from
the Republican party. Their only hope,
in fact, lies in stampeding Republicans.
This hope has proved fallacious, as the
Republican party was never more
complete unit in support of its nomi-
nees. On the other hand. every day
brings reports Of influential Democrats
who have declared for Garfield and Ar
thur, through disgust at the dominance
Of southern ideas and revolutionary
tendencies in their own party.

wThe Vergennes Vermonter is of
the opinion that 80 much "stupidity" is
seldom displayed in any journal as has
appeared in late numbers of papers in
the district which happened to disagree
with the Vermonter in their choice of
candidate for representative in Con-
gross. Nay, the Vermonter even goes
so far as to make the crushing charge
of "idolatry" against the Register, just
because we did not think the successful
candidates campaign a creditable one.
AS If this were not enough, it hints that
we resemble the "whining of whip
ped cur" If we only had the amiable
Vcrmonter mans knowledge of gram
mar and the dictionary we might be
able to retort some equally lucid and
gentlcmanly phrases upon him, but we
forbcar lest we should receive another
avalanche of Partingtonianisms in re-
turn. We would only remark upon
the following:
1--WE could show up some features of
the canvas that might open the eyes
somewhat of our kicking brethren,
such as attempts to buy votes and pub
lie opinion in the interests of their cam
didate."
The campaign is over, and controver-
sy is now out of place, but we venture
to say that the Vcrmonter cannot
"show up" one such attempt to buy
either votes or public opinion in the in
terest of Gov. Stewart. If the Yer
monter is anxious for comparison of
the work done on each side to unduly
influence public opinion, we are ready
to tell what we know of the doings of
some of Mr.. Joyce's friends in this
county. We do not think discussion
of the same would add to his votes next
September.
