County Politics.
Mr.. EDIToR:

MT. EDITOR.
Will you allow me little space in
which to say my say concerning county
politics? And first in regard TO the
nominees for states attorney. i'll am
correctly informed (and l obtained my
information from reliable source)
Mr.. Il. W.J. Hawkins is a "true blue"
not only on the temperance question,
but also in favor of having our entire
criminal code duly executed. The fact
that Mr.. ii. was nominated by the Hon.
Mr.. " oodbridge does not in The least
detract from his integrity. One thing
is certainly in his favor, and strongly
so. In the ten years or so that he has
practiced law he has in no case been on
the defence in q liquor case, but has
been employed BY the state many q
time. l am informed by reliable par
ties that in no sense is Mr.. ii. connected
with the Stevens House, VergcRnes.
clique, and that il elected he would
perform his duty without tear or favor
Of any one, though perhaps that might
not suit all parties. What say in favor
Of Mr.. ii. should not be construed as
derogatory of the merits OF any other
gentleman that has been or may be
named for the position. One thing has
been urged with some apparent force
against Mr.. H., and that is his inexpe-
rience in conducting cases in the county
court-a trouble that at one time hung
over the most brilliant and successful
ornaments of the American bar.

Y 1t is said that one or two of ths
candidates on the Republican county
ticket are very anxious indeed to have
everybody vote for c. w. Read, and
go SO far as to write letters about the
county giving their honest and valuable
opinion that he is a Temperance man."

TO be blamed for the evident dislike

SCRATCHES" it would seem as if they
ought to give the voters credit for indie
pendence and common sense enough TO
decide the matter for themselves with
out assistance from letter writers. If
Mr.. Read 10 temperance man, there
is no one knows 1t better than Mr..
Read himself, and his own statement
OF his intention in the next legislature
In reference to prohibitory legislation
will be far more valuable in preserving
the integrity of the Republican ticket
than those of any officious politicians
who may be suspected of a degree of
ignorance respecting the intentions of
other men.

MASS COUNTY CONVENTION.

The undersigned citizens of Addison
county, believing that the ticket nomi-
uated by the Republican County Con-
vention holden in Middlebnry, June 90,
1882. does not in oil rasroots represoni
the best sentiment OF the voters of the
county, and feeling that at this time
only united, independent action can
enable the voters to support effectively
at the polls their protests against such
Misrepresentation of their views,
would unite in calling a mass conven-
ton of all Republicans and Independent
voters favoring change in that ticket
to meet at the County Court room, in
Middlebury, on WEDNESDAY, AUG.
%, at half-past one O'Clock p. m, to
take such action in the matter as NAV
seem best when met.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Wants an Extensive Bolt,

MIR, EDTrOR:-
The canvass FOR county omcers, or tho
discussion of the relative merits and
principles OF the candidates, seems to be
based upon the assumption that ma
iority of the freemen OF the county are
true temperance men, and that the del
egates TO the Republican county con-
venlion were largely temperance men,
which is mistaken notion. The reli-
able temperance delegates were the
supporters of Williams, 81; the sup.
portcrs of Dea. James, 81; the SUPPORT
ers OF Henry Lane. AZ, or less than one
third Of the delegates, hence Mr.. G.. w.
Read can afford to be Just what he il.
rummy, and ride rough-shod over all
temperance opposition.
1 fnlly endorse your views of the
canvass and candidate of the north dis
trict of the county for senator; but all
that has been said of the character, prin-
ciples and supporters of the candidate
will apply with equal force to the other
candidate for senator and one of the
candidates for judge-not the one who
was nominated by reclamation. They
were supported by the same clique
which is very properly called the rum
ring, and of course the temperance men
will not support them. If there are any
conscientious temperance freemen in
the county they will be under the ne.
cessity OF calling a boilers convention
or do large share OF scratching, In the
opinion of one who was
Nor A DELEGATE.
lOur correspondent evidently fails to
consider the supporters of Mr.. Baldwin
in the convention as temperance men.
But il was understood during the can
vass that Mr.. Baldwin was a temper
ance candidate, and that that was one
of the issnes before the primaries which
elected Baldwin delegates. Counting
the Williams and Baldwin men together
there were, therefore, 100 temperance
delegates who recorded their ballots on
the first vote for senator from the north
ern district.

resolution before the day of election.
IL is only under circumstances of extra
ordinary character that we would justify
a "bolt,' but We arc firmly convinced
that it is not only good public morals,
but good public policy TO repudiate at
the polls all men who have refused TO
comply with the provisions Of the tax
law. IL is good morals TO repudiate
such men, for the same reason that it is
good morals To trust no man to make
laws who has not yet risen TO the first
requisite of citizenship, viz, obedience
to law. The quibbling plea that if II
man chooses to accept the alternative of
disobedience and compels the listers to
double his known property, because he
refuses 10 disclose his full list, that he
has as fairly complied with the law as

among the people, who know perfectly
well that the clear intent and purpose
of the doubling clause was to impose q
penalty for disobediencc, not TO fur
nish reluctant taxpayer with an hon.
orablc alternative for obedience. The
peopiv supposed that doubling all
visible property would, in nine cases
out of ten, drive the chronic tax-dodger
to disclose, but since doubling does
not seem to be an adequate penalty for
disobedicnce, why our next Legislature
must do as they do in some of the
Western States levy tax upon list
that stands for four times tho value OF
the delinquenfs visible property. 1t is
q noteworthy fact that in no case has
any taxpayer suffered himself 10 be
doubled saving where it was well
known that his visible and discovcra-
BILE property, even when doubled, did
not approach the value of his whole
taxable property had he chosen TO dis
close rather than be doubled. 1t is
notorious that no man OF comparatively
moderate means prefers, as matter Of
principle, to be doubled rather than
disclose; ii is confined to persons OF
large wealth, who, as matter of dol
lars and cents, know that in ell
property is so securely hidden hat
doubling the list of their visible property
will not nearly represent the full amount
a man can disobcy the tax law and be
taxed on double the value OF his visible
property, but morally he is no more
respectable than if he broke any Other
law and submitted TO the penalty

IL A call for macs county conven-
hon will be found elsewhere in this
fesuc. Tnose interested have taken the
right course in calling Il convention, ms
In no other way than by united action
could the voters opposed to objec
tionable candidates on the Republican
ticket make their votes tell to any pur.
pose. 1t is TO be hoped that there may
be large turnout of temperance men
and that they may nominate a candi-
date who will commend himself TO
eVerylvoter as zone who will not mis-
represent the Republican party of the
county.
The day set for the convention is
rather late, being less than two weeks
before the September election, but ne
'nere Is little need of an active canvass
the date set will probably answer the
purpose as we'll as an earlier one.

AZ A correspondent in another col

didate for senator from the northern
district, but deprecates the expense and
trouble OF convention TO make a NOM
ination, suggests that the matter be set
tied by the county committee dropping
Mr.. Reads name and substituting that
OF some temperance man. This would
certainly be an agreeable way TO have
the thing done, but he who suggests II
overiooks the fact that the county COM
mittee have no power TO make the
change, as 1t would be quite outside of
and above the range of their duties.
All that can now be done is by the
voters, who have, no thanks to party
managers, a right TO scratch bad nomi-
nees to their hearts content. To make
their work effective against the objec-
tionable candidates, however, they
must not merely scratch, but they must
vote unitedly for another man. Ii our

tS Congress adjourned on Tuesday
afternoon after all eight months session
a review of its work does not indicate
results at al. propoilionaic to the time
employed. The trouble has arisen, nc
doubt, from the fact that the two parties
were so nearly equal in both houses that
the Republicans had little power
against the policy of obstruction which
the Democrats seem deliberately TO
have adopted. The Congress has not
been guilty of any private jobbery, its
chief sin of commission being the Rive,
and Harbor steal. Several seats in the
House have been filled by their right
fnl claimants, the fraudulent holders
being unseated. Besides the regular
appropriation bills about 40 bills of q
public nature have passed both houses
and became laws. Some of these are
the following:
An act granting the franking privilege
to Lucretia II. Garfield. This measure
(aprroved December 20, 1881 was
the first bill passed by both houses of
Congress during the present session.

poses Ohe anti-polygamy bills).

sentalives in congress under the tenth
