Mr.. Editor: There's great many
things that see in your REFoRMER that
amt so plain to me as | wish they were
That story of yours about the Jamaica
Moonshiners," and the doings at RuI-
land is one of them. If have got hold
Of the string at the right end your story
to this: Riley Davidson, and
a dozen or more other men, have been
making cider brandy, up in West Jansi-
ca, for about Is years without a license
from Uncle Sam, and in violation of the
Vermont liquor law. They seem to have
done fair business. What bothers me,
Is to know how all this could happen in
Jamaica, and what in the world they
want cider brandy for up there. ia
maica is the banner Republican town If
southern Vermont. 1t is as much as Il
Democrats life is worth to undertake to
i've there, and there's hardly as many in
he whole towns as there were of the right
eous in Sodom of old. Now Republicans
lever drink cider brandy; they never
irlnk, manufacture or sell anything that
ntoxicates. | have always been toll
hat it was the wicked'Deinocrats down
south who made moonshine liquor to
iefraud the best government that ever
Vas heard of, and the still more wicked
Democrats here in the North that do al
be drinking. Havn't you got things
wrong? Don't Riley Davidson and his
ang of moonshiners live in the Solid
'ouh?" And when they are not max
ng illicit liquors, don't they organize
nto ku klux clan and ride over the
