friends that this thing would not car
nv if left to the members of the county
in the legislature, and to the people
of the county to vote on, that they
fought the project, both in the house
and senate of leaving it to the mem
bers from the county, knowing that
the members would defeat the meas
ure; and the same parties and infiu-
ences have opposed leaving the mat
ter to the people, that they might
vote on it. Those who are trying to
get the shire set up in their villages
dare not risk the bill minute before
the people. "Be honest" if you can,
neighbor.
AS neighbor Camp in another arti-
Gle ridicules Barton for not helping
get the buildings away from Iras-
burgh at this time, we say as we have
said heretofore, that the buildings
have been put in such state of re-
pair and are really in such a condition
as not to demand the erection of
new set. Our people, except in one
section of the town, have
deemed it best to wait for the pro-
posed removal and building until
necessities demand it and the times
are better.
Two years ago, when the "Bolters"
held their convention at Irasburgh
(and neighbor Camp will remember
that he had considerable to do with
that meeting) the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
"That we do not favor the proposed
attempt to change the county shire
at this time and we look upon the
notices published in the county news
papers relating thereto as a ruse on
the part of somebody for selfish po-
litical ends. Mr.. Camp was pres
ent and voted for the adoption of
this resolution. "Be honest" If
the project of removal was not desir-
able in 1882, we cannot see why it
should be in 1884 after large sum
has been expended in paint and 9TH
er repairs on the buildings.
''Be honest" Please state to the
county, Bro. Camp, that you are the
man that started the notices in the
papers and have worked hard for the
project. So far as we have been
able to learn, there has been no desire
any where in the county for removal
at this time, except in the villages
to which the shire might come, among
a few lawyers and court men and
among very small number here and
there, who were willing to incur the
expense OF removal, in the expecta-
ton of being more convenienced at
some point than at Irashurgn.
Do not undertake to ridicule the
idea, Mr.. Camp, that there is danger
of the loss of towns from the county
in case the shire is carried farther
from the south end. Already Greens.
boro has made the attempt to be SCI
to Caledonia county, and leading mer
in Craftsbury declare that they shall
ask to be set out of the county i
they cannot be convenlenccd in it.
| The bill has passed and we nov
expect Bro. Camp to do what he cal
to get the shire in his town. Thu
way, we shall undertake to show tina
there can be no so good a place a
one or the other of the villages i
Barton. Let the contest be fai

"BE HONEST. ?"

Our friend of the Erpress who is
so lacking in common courtesy as
to accuse his neighbor of "willful I'M
truthfulness" under the above caption
has the following:
Be HONEST. why not be honest,
nelghbor? NJ. Blake in yesterdays
MONITOR on the change of shire says:
IA large majority of the representa-
tives in the county are opposed to the
BILL" Now Mr.. Blake is willfully ig
norant or wilfully untruthful. The
fact is ten representatives favored
the bill while eight opposed it. Some
of these members were instructed by
their constituents to favor the bill as
proposed by the committee when it
pended was fixed to q small sum.
Another significant fact is this: the
population in 1880 of the ten towns
whose representatives favored the
bill was 1926, and the grand list in
round numbers for 1884, was S66, 900.
The population of the eight towns
opposed is $3.50, and the grand list
S34 900. In the face of these facts
and figures it is difficult to see how
our neighbour can substitute his state
ment that very large majority of
the people are opposed to the change"
We will consider briefly whether
the statement is 'wilfully untruth-
fuP': During the early part of the
session. as we understand, at n meet
ing of all the representatives, ex-
cept one. when Maj. CIRCUITS candi-
dacy for the office of speaker was be-
ing considered, vote was taken on
the question whether an effort shoald
he made at this term to change the
shire, which unanimously declared
against the project. When we were
at Montpelier at the Officers Re-un.
ion, Nov. 9th, it was then stated thai
twelve out of eighteen of the repre-
sentatives were opposed to the bill.
This we considered "a large major
ity." 1t may be possible that afte
Mr.. Camp and the large delegation
favoring the project of remova
had spent several days in log rollin;
members of the county and the legis
lature, some changed their views o
the subject but we have no doubt th
statement that ten favored and eigl
opposed the bill a mistake. We hav
stated that large majority of I'll
people are opposed to moving ii
shire and we think the assertion pc
fectly true. Almost the entire vo
ing population of the towns of Green
boro, Craftsbury, Glover, Alban
Westmore, Barton, Irasburgh, Lo,
ell and Westfeld were opposed to Il
bill and the project of removal. II
population of these towns in 80 W
10948, their grand list about $40, 90
This is little less than one-half
the county, but there were large pc
tons of other towns opposed to t
removal. When David Camp or ii
body else undertakes to prove I'll
majority of the county favor
the building of new set
county buildings at this time, he L

ELECTION OF SUPREME COURT

The joint legislative assembly of

with the exception of Judge Redfield.
who had declined, and elected Hon.
William H. Walker, of Ludlow, to be
the sixth assistant judge. Represen-
tatives' hall was crowded with spec
tators, ladies and gentlemen. The
ball was opened by Mr.. Dillingham;,
of Waterbury, who in very strong
and candid speech presented the rea-
sons why Chief Judge Royce should
be reelected. He was followed by
Messrs. Stranahan of st. Adams, in
a short and forcible speech, Needham
of Leicester, Pilling of Bennington,
Fisk of Isle La Motto, Abel of West
Haven, Stickney of Bethel, Dear

Burlington, Major Josiah Grout of
Derby, Fullerton of Manchester, Sen
ator Mott, Bailey of Wells River,
Judge Thompson of Irasburgh, Hib-
bard of Burlington, Butterfeld of Will
mington and Senator Ide of ST.
Johnsbury. Mr.. Ide stated that he was
authorized by Judge Ross to say that
he was not candidate for the office
of chief judge, and that the use of
his name was against his wish.
Nevertheless he was nominated by
Mr.. Glover of Groton, Senator Hob
son of Brighton, Mr.. Fairman of
Fairfax, and Mr.. Clark of Halifax.

Judge Royce received 100 votes, Ross

1t appears that these bonds were issued
for the purpose of building a bridge

the bridge was completed obtained pos.

that the $50, 200 bonds was In excess OF

company illegally obtained possession of
them, tho plaintiff knowing that fact
was not an innocent purchaser.
Just before court adjourned for the
day Boulger, the bridge carpenter from
Fremont, who had been indicted for
sending obscene matter through the
mails, was brought before the bar to
plead to the charge preferred against
him. The fair damsel who had received
these unholy missives was also brought

Boulger was asked by the court how he
