THE thanks of the people are due to the
BellOcs Falls Times, the Randolph Herald
and Netos, and the redoubtable Landmark of
White River Junction, among the papers of
the district, for their bold and outspoken ad-
vocacy of free and independent action by the
people in the canvass for representative.
Thanks and honorable mention are also par
ticularly due to the Rutland Herald for its
manly support of the cause for which the
people in this district were struggling Our
appreciation of its words of cheer is all the
more keen from the fact that we felt obliged
to differ with it in its choice of candidate
for representative of the first district.

we ever heard, At the caucus Saturday we
elected four delegates to the second district con-
venton ard they were all for Judge Poland. In
1874 they were all opposed to him. The manner
in which they were elected was little novel A
certain gentleman OF influence but not much OF a
Poland man made a short speech at the opening
of the caucus and proposed that the delegates
should all be OF one stripe, all for Poland or all
for some one else The motion was accepted,
and another gentleman at once asked all who
were in favor of Poland "to come over to one
side Of the house" and those opposed go TO the
other side when almost two to one took the Poland
side, so 1t was an easy matter to elect the dele
gates. d. The Pittsfeld Iron and Steel Company

The Star Route Trials.

The Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Advertiser says: Judge Wylie gave the star-route
crowd great surprise Wednesday by announcing
such prfpld fdcio case OF conspiracy "a warranted
sending the question to the jury. This caused
general condemnation among the defendants and
at their we-filled counsel table. For several
days the whole array Of the star-route crowd has
been openly boasting that Judge Wylie would In
a few days throw the case out OF court. For three
or four days last week they were 80 loud and Of
fensive in their talk that stranger would have
been likely TO think that the only persons In
danger from the pending trials we're those en-
gagged In prosecuting, and the press which had
dared to report the truth about them. When the
revelation OF real testimony given before the
grand Jury came out on Monday, II caused the
first setback the defence has experienced for
some time. But even this was not enough to
prevent them from rallying, and in way pc
cuarly their own, attempting, by denunciation
and coarse abuse, to sweep aside the revelations
and those who had published them. They
have talked In their loud and confident strain 40
long that there were many doubts expressed as to
the success OF the government, and the decision
in Its favor has therefore, been matter OF quite
general surprise The way Is now open for the
Introduction OF the Rerdell confession and much
other valuable evidence. The trial will be much
prolonged on account OF the ruling OF the court
and the defence will be obliged to introduce evi.
dence, thing II has boosted IL would not find II
necessary to do. Meantime, the public may ex.
| pect further and more complete story OF what
took place before that remarkable grand Jury
which pretended to examine Walsh.
