The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1882-10-13

THE Georgia election last week accom-
plished more towards the elimination OF the
''color line" from southern politics thar
any one event of the last qnarter OF cen
fury The silly and reactionary old bour-
bonsm which fought Stephens because of
his progressive character was thoroughly
whipped. The blacks enthusiastically sup
ported the old Democrat who has been a
friend of their race, and spent 30 much
time and money for their education. In
one district the report says the negroes
supported the straight Democratic ticket
nearly solid" And yet in the face of all
these facts Gen Garttrell, who was support
ed by fusion OF Republicans, Greenback-
era, Independents and bourbons. raises the
familiar old cry of Intimidation" and pro-
poses to contest Stephens election.

CHAIRMAN HUBBELL, in the relentless
pursuit of his victims, occasionally runs
down dead man, and sometimes he wakes
up very live one, as is shown by the fol-
lowing epistle, which the postmaster at
Leeds, Conn.,, has written him:
81 am in receipt of your appeal for Pc
cuniary aid in carrying the fall election in
the interest of 'the grand old Republican
party :" and also fully agree with you in
the belief that it would be terrible mis-
fortune to the country TO have the wicked
Democratic party again restored to power.
also believe that the free use of money is
indispensable to our success as party I;
and, as have the honor of holding an i'm
portant office under the government, from
which derive my principal income for the
support OF dependent family, wish to
make contribution so liberal as to secure
my retention in office. l, therefore, in
close you my check on the National bank
of Ne, York for ten (10) cents payable to
your order, to be used for the purpose ill.,
dicated in your circular. If l were per-
mitted to advise, would request that most
of my contribution should be used in pro-
noting the reelection of that incorruptible
patriot, George W. Robson, to congress. !"

AND still they come. Sherman S. Rogers,
nominee for acknowledgement of New
York in 1876, and who had large number
of votes in the senatorial contest Of 1881,
and VIM. J. Bacon, for Is years judge OF
the supreme court, repudiate the Republi.
can ticket of forgery and fraud in New
York and proclaim their intention to vote
for Cleveland. Howard Carroll, ex-jour-
nalist, and son-in-law of the rich John IL.
Starin, has been selected by the Republican
state committee for congressman-at-la large
in place of Hepburn, resigned. he accepts,
but tells the party plainly that he won't pay
a cent to help elect the ticket He says:
81 am convinced that the greatest curse
of our political system is the corrupt use of
money and patronage in elections. Fur
ther than this, may say that, believing
the work of office-seeking, place-brokerage
and position peddling TO be no part of the
duty of member of congress, | should, il
elected, refuse positively TO take any part
in the general scramble for places in the
departments.
These are noble words but of what use
is a man who holds such notions to the
men who now manipulate the Republican

IT is highly disgraceful, if true as al
legged by some state newspapers, that Bos-
ton parties connected with the Central Yer
mont litigation, are operating lobby a
Montpelier to defeat Judge Royce's re.
election. This is an issue that ought not to
be allowed to enter into the contest at all,
to complicate the one overshadowing ques-
ton, whether an open, defiant violator of
the tax law, shall remain the chief inter-
prefer of all our law. But it is more than
probable that there ia no truth to the charge,
that it is only cover for another railroad
lobby working to reflect Royce. At any
rate, whichever is the true state of the case,
it is proof enough of the debascment of
cur politics and of the pressing need of a
reform in our methods of judicial elections,
when we find the litigants on either side
of great railroad controversy at work in
the legislature to make or unmake judges.

THE supreme court of Wisconsin has
rendered decision which puts the whole
system OF dealing in Futures" buying and
selling ''on Margin" ETC., under the ban OF
the law as gambling. The case was the
common one where man bought grain,
not for actual delivery. but for settlement
at the prices on the day agreed upon or for
ostensible delivery. $4,000 was lost by the
transaction and his broker who did the bus
mess for him sued him for the loss which
he refused to pay. The court decided that
it is a debt which can't be collected, for it
was not legitimate business transaction,
there was no real purchase or sale; it was
simply betting on the price of grain on a
certain day. This decision has both good
morals and good sense back of 1t, and If it
is sustained by the courts of higher resort in
other states, as it ought to be, it will very
largely break up this dangerou kind Of
speculation.

BESIDES the IL states that have already
bestowed partial suffrage on women, the
cause is making great progress in others.
In Wyoming where woman's full citizen
ship has become settled policy, it is
the universal testimony of candid observers
that the ballot has been great moral pow
er in the hands of women. A woman suf.
frage amendment has passed both branches
Of the Indiana legislature, and there is
every prospect Of its ratification by the
people this autumn. A similar amend
ment is now pending in Nebraska ; and
Iowa is preparing to follow up her prohib-
ton. with the franchise Of the women.

The Montpelier Argus makes this sug-

good sense. "The Legislature should pass
law that every mortal, arrested for in

that gave it to me; never saw him be-
FORE" etc, etc., should be adjudged guilty
of perjury and sent up for 80 days at

be nuisance; but then it saves the gen.
eral Yender."
