Theiindependents are sorely trou-
bled by the necessity of having to ex-
plain or extenuate the sins of their
candidate-sins which correspond
ent of the New York EVening Post,
imbued with the maudlin sentiment
and debased morals of that journal,
has declared to be "sacred." But it
may be comfort to them to feel
that they have the sympathy of their
English free trade friends on the
other side of the water. The difficult
ties of their peculiar position are
fully appreciated, and the Pail Mall
Gazette, one of the English journals
whicE was foremost in expressing
it's desire for Cleveland's election,
thus tenderly commiserates the I'M
happy plight of the intensely moral
independents:
"Seldom has fate played any party
a more scurvy trick than when the
opportune unearthing of the Halpin
scandal COMPOUNDED the independents
who had deserted the republicans in
order to support Governor Cleveland
on high moral grounds. To break
definitely with your party in order to
introduce morality into politics, and
then to discover that the candidate
for whom you had made so many
sacrifices has an illegitimate child in
a public orphanage and cast-ofl
mistress over the border is trying in
deed"

so pertinaciously and vindictively
made, and he did so. So thorough
was his exculpation even before the
completion of the trial, that the res
pondent himself and his leading
counsel acknowledged it by their be-
havior, and the jury-twelve as good
men as Orleans county contains, rep
utable and independent citizens-re-
turned a verdict of guilty without
debate. The people of Vermont of
all parties and conditions rejoice at
the verdict.
The great office of chief judge is
not degraded by the occupancy of an
unworthy man. The fair fame of the
state is not besmirched. The voice
of SANDER is silenced; and Judge
Royce stands before the people of
the state on the same lofty pedestal
of purity and honor as his great pred
ecessors, who made our little state
famous in every English speaking
country for able and impartial JUS
tice. By the conviction of M. j.
Maloney the blacklist cloud which
has ever hung over Vermont has
been dispelled.-Argus.

ligious press that nominees unsavory
personal history, and the journals and
orators the meagerness of his intellectu-
al furnishing and the poverty of his rec
ord, can but express regret that your
notable ally, the Nation, whose editor
Mr.. Lowell has praised for 'sheightening
and purifying the tone of our political
thought" should become, by it's immoral
apologies for it's candidate, potent sscor-
rupter of youth" This detection is more
''sweet reasonableness" in the New York
Times, or of political principle in the New
York Herald.
The literature which l have circulated
during this campaign includes Mr.. Blane's
letter of acceptance, which has not been
surpassed in our history, Edwin D. Mead's
open letter to the Boston Advertiser,
Senator Hoar's mastery letter to young
friend and Governor Loug's speech at
fremont Temples and it is a pleasure to
know that these noble documents have
turned doubters into friends and friends
into earnest political missionaries And
every day strengthens my confidence that
the nomination which, as Senator Hoar
rightly said, was made by what is best
in our American life, is to be indicated,
not only in November, but also by an adj
ministration growing in favor with those
who believe in improved civil service, in
protection to American citizenship and
the advancement OF American nationality.
But deeply regret that this victory must
be achieved without the aid of some of
those whose convictions you represent;
and | am sure that it is with sorrow that
you support a different electoral ticket
from that favored by the great majority
of the men who conquered the rebellion
and saved the national credit, in whose
ranks l discover such miscellaneous

VERMONT INDICATED.

The result of the trial Of M. j. |
Maioney for falsely and malicieusly
libelling the Hon. Homer E.. Royce,
chief judge of the supreme court of
Vermont, is vindication not only of
Judge Royce, but of the fair fame of
Vermont. For more than two years
the Gazette, of which Maloney is the
ostensible editor, has been making
the most serious accusations against
the Judge. They we're, in substance,
that Judge Royce was guilty of gross
official bribery and misconduct, in
that he had improperly and illegally
received presents and favors from
prominent litigants in his court; and
that he had tor the past ten years
been frequenter of houses of i'll
fame for lecherous purposes. Hold
ing the high position which Judge
Royce does-the most dignified and
responsible in the state-such charges
are as serious rs could be made. Of
all public officials, judge must es-
pecially be sans PEN ct sans reproche.
Like Caesars wife, he must be above
suspicion. Not only must he be clean
in life, of pure morals, great ability
and learning, and complete impartial
ity, but the people must believe him
TO be SO. The moment he loses the
public confidence, his occupation is
gone, never to be regained. The ac-
cusations of the Gazette tended to the
utter destruction of Judge Royce
not only as judge, but as q man, 6
husband, father, and grandfather
That they should be disproved, il
they were false, was duty which
Judge Royce owed to tie people o.
Vermont, who had elected him to hi.

disagrecable task, sufficiently ex

FROM NEBRASKA.

Editor Monitor, Through thekind-
ness of Mr.. A. w. Jones of this
place, but recently of Barton, l am
permitted to read the MONITOR, which
comes to us weekly laden with many
things that we appreciate. Fifty-one
years ago taught school in the Wig
gins district near your village, and in
September was married to Cyrus
Sturtevant of Barton. Having come
West in the tide that has borne away
so many from the good old Green
Mountain state, am now in one of
the garden spots of the Great West.
The MONITOR brings to mind many
interesting things in my early life, as
it speaks weekly of so many in all
the surrounding towns whom | had
known many years ago. Four years
ago Ipassed the line, ''the allotted time
of life" seventy years, and last year
our golden marriage anniversary was
celebrated, so that at best there re-
mains only remnant of an already
long life. But l like to take the car
of imagination and review the scenes
of long ago. 1t seems bat yesterday
when Judge Klmball, then IN the lat
ter portion of middle life, published
our bans of matrlmony. This was
in the days of the great revival that
was experienced in that part of Yer
mont, under the preaching of Burch-
ard, Nettleton, Knapp and others.
