The st. Johnsbury Caledonian of last week,
following the lead of the Richford Gazette,
printed an attack on Carroll S. Page of ST.
Adams, the substance of its charge against
him being that he skulked in Canada during
the war to avoid the draft. The occasion of
the attack is the fact that Mr.. Page has been
mentioned as a candidate for Secretary Of
State TO succeed DR. Nichols. Mr. Page re-
plies to this attack with IN open letter in
which he says there is unimpeschable evil
dence to prove
1st That there never was q time during the war
after became Of military age that was not enrolled
IN Hyde Park and subject to all drafts that might have
been made.
"a. That from September LIST, 1868 to the close of
the war,I was in Canada in all less than six weeks.
Sd. That from the commencement Of the war to
September LIST, 1863 there were no drafts in HYDE
Park that $500 Communication money would settle
and the idea that my father a successful business
man, would have suffered me, an only son and d mi
nor acting under his commands, TO be disgraced in
the claimed by the Caledonian for the paltry
sum OF $500, is simply absurd.
Mr. Pages business, in which he succeeds
his father, is that of a dealer in hides, wool
and barter. 1t extends largely into the Brit
ish provinces, and he says this is the sole rea-
son why he was out of the country during the
war OF at any other time. Further than this,
Mr. Page says that the mention of his name
in connection with the Office of Secretary of
State was entirely without his previous knowl-
edge His letter is unequivocal in its terms,
and it is pretty evident that in this instance
the Caledonian has let some personal pique or
spite run away with its usual candor and fair
ness.

So far az the mere matter Of getting this money In
