RUTLAND
An Interesting Case In the County
Court.


In Rutland county court, Thursday morn
ing, the jury returned verdict in the will
case of Kincaid vs.. Buxton, in favor of the
contestant, Mrs. Orvila w, Buxton, the only
child Of the tes,atrx. Mrs Orvll Wait of Mid
dlelown, who gave all her property amounting
to about $1,000 to her three sisters, Mrs KIN
caid, Mrs Martin and Mrs. Austin, and dis
inherited her daughter, Mrs. Buxton. The
case has been over II week in the trial and a
large number of witnesses on both sides were
examined, The jury after returning a gen
eral verdict that the will was MT the last
will and testament Of Mrs. Wait, fouud spe-
cially in answer To questions prnpluuded by
the cour that the Will was not daily execute
ed, that the tCstatriy WAS not uf sound and
dsposirg mind aud that it was procured by
fraud and undue influence of the sisters. The
defeated party will probably take the case
to the Supreme Court.
The county court has decided that II. W.
Love of Rutland was the complainant in the
liquor case of State vs.. Michael Cam, tried in
August, 1882, and That Love is entitled to
one-iOurth Ut the $1,000 fine pad by Cam, in

TO whom he paid the quarter OF the iiue and
took "A bond OF indemnity back, and the coun-
ty court rendered judgment against Bailey
in favor of Love for $3.50 instead. A
similar case brought by Jcwett p, Cain

In Connecticut religious war is being
waged between Catholics and Protes-
tants. occasiOned by large cruclfx,
with realistic image of Christ in agony,
being placed by the wayside, near to the
church presided over by Father Lynch.
The priest was petitlOned to remove it,
and those petitioning was bOycotted by
Catholics refusing to trade with them.
Then Catholic servants were discharged,
and by way of retaliation, one uncalIed-
for act has produced another, until there
is strong and angry feud. No one has
been converted or sanctifed, but billings
gate, sore heads, and rude fighting are
plentiful. Is this the Christian spirit?
If so, 1t is very earnest spirit, but it
seems to us that humanity enjoins a
true respect for the opinions and faith
of others, while Christ enjoins by pre-
cept and example, charity that is
freighted with kindness, sympathy, and
affection for every human being.

DEPLORABLE CONDITION.

Ohio Democrats are above the average
for intelligence, energy, and position;
because of this the country expects from
them the highest there is in Democracy.
Judging the party by these representa-
tive lights one cannot but conclude that
the cumbersome Democratic machine
is conspicuous for blunder, lnfidelity,
bulldOzing and nOnsensical quarrel.
Since they sold the nomination to Hoad-
ly for $4,000 in spite of the wise cOun-
sells of Thurman, Groesbeck, and Pendle-
ton, they have perpetrated one mistake
and wrong after another, and are now
going for each others Threats in such a
way as to disgust the better class of
Democrats, and convince all of the utter
incapacity of the party for control.
BOssism in its most indecent and repul
siye form is the chief characteristic of
Ohio Democracy tO-day,-a bossism that
is impOtent, marked with demOraliza-
tiOn, and disintegration. The corrupt
use of money is without shame and
audaciOus, that stamps the party with a
disgraceful depravity. Faithful leaders
have been ignored, personal malice has
sought to punish the disaffected, and
Cincinnati and Cleveland Democrats
have followed in the wake of Senator
Thurman. and expressed their. disap-
prevail by organized opposition to the
ticket. In all this performance Demo
cracy strikes itself terrible blow, for
the people will justly conclude that
party without self-cOntrOl and self-re-
spect, party that will not stand by
friends and principle. that will sell its
chief places on the ticket to Republican
renegades for money, that will conduct
campaigns with spite, quarrel, and re-
venge, is not worthy the confidence and
suffrages of the American people. HOad-
ly is ashamed of the OdiOus business, is
sick, and has left the state, while
through the state the better element of
Democracy are sick at heart. The Re-
publican nominee, Judge Foraker, has
behaved splendidly, and the canvass of
his party has been dignifed, clean, and
thorough, commanding the respect Of
all. We place before our readers the
words of a Democratic paper, published
at Cleveland, regarding the Democratic
County Convention held at Cleveland
last Saturday. The Plaindealer says:
"The Farley-Bookwalte slate, with a
few exceptions. went through. All the
power of the Farley administration was
thrown against Armstrong, and the
bridge-tenders and viaduct-slingers
were in high feather over his defeat; the
Mayor being conspicuous in waving his
hat when his man, Blee, was nominated.
There was heap of lying and great
deal of bribing in the convention to-day.
Arrayed against Armstrong was the
three Republican papers of Cleveland
and the BOOkwalter ring. 1t is evident
that an editor in Democratic cOnven-
tion stands no more chance of a nOmi-
nation than cat in hell without claws.
The ring was all-pOwerful in its man
agement to-day, Hamilton county money
tactics were introduced into CuyahOga
County to-day, or else all signs are
futile. The candidate for the Legisla-
ture in Cuyahoga county who is in favor
of John W. BOOkwalter for Senator, will
get left"

THE Democratic party in Iowa has
fallen to the lowest depths of degrade
ton in the conduct of the gubernatOrial
campaign, in appealing to the worst
passions of the basest elements Of
society. Such an unwarranted course will
in the end be condemned, the people will
in aversion turn away from such
methods of political action as fraught
with ruin. The Republican party has
managed the canvass in way that can
not be condemned by fair, honest, just
judgement, and, although the party in
accepting prohibition as side issue, as
a matter of duty, and not of policy, has
undertaken great responsibility, there
can be no question that the courage and
heroism of the party, in standing by the
expressed wishes of the people, and
maintaining their will as law, commends
itself as honest and true to the homes
and interests of Iowa.
