ty would call for temperance or other
nominations, but we cannot see any
chance for success in an attempt to found
a new party upon this basis, and believe
that our temperance friends can accom-
plish more by an active participation in
the Republican organization as it now eX-
lists. However, they are entitled to their
own opinions in the matter. The contest
between Messrs. Clark and Stanley was
practically decided at the Middlebury
caucus, which was carried by ma
jority of from one to four for Mr..
Clark in an aggregate vote of 26l. So
far AS we are aware it was friendly con-
test, and those who favored Mr.. Stanley
will do all in their power to further Mr..

Addison County Court.

The June term of the Addison county
court was adjourned on Friday morning
last to Wednesday. the 18th, when Mrs.
Marian Catlin of Goshen will be tried for
poisoning her husband in the early part
of last winter. Hon. +. j. Ormsbee of

by Messrs. f. X. Hard of Burlington,

petitioner.
The case of c. A. Smith against Geo.
and Isaac Smith was tried by the court
Thursday afternoon. The defendants,
sons of Jacob Smith, live on the Gen.
Strong place in Vergennes. The plain
titf's home is in PantOn. He claimed
that as he was passing the Strong place
a vicious dog, kept by the defendants,
ran out and scared a horse he (plaintiff)
was leading behind his wagon, causing
the animal to jump into the wagon and
brighten the horse drawing the wagon
causing him to run away. The suit
was brought TO recover damages to
the horse and wagon. The court de,

THE ticket put in nomination by the
Republican county convention of Tues
day is in most respects one which Repub-
licans can unanimously approve and
heartily support. We do not think Mr..
Hawkins has shown the efficiency desira-
BILE in a States attorney, and we had
hoped that lawyer of wider experience
than Mr.. Hawkins would be nominated
for that office. The temperance conven-
tion that met in advance of the Republi-
can convention and placed a ticket in the
field was mistake. 1t is difficult to see
what occasion there was for such con-
vention. 1t probably defeated the nomi-
nations of Mr.. Stanley and Mr.. Eldredge
and we cannot see what good it could ac-
complish. At the caucus in Middlebury
it drove away large part of the non
temperance votes from Mr.. Stanley. We
can see that there might be time when

WE need not tell our readers that the
decisions Of the State convention are
highly satisfactory to us. Lieutenant
Governor Pingree received the advance
ment his merits deserve. Despite hard
work by Mr.. Batchelder and his friends,
Mr.. Ormsbee was nominated by a salts
factory majority. He will honor the po-
sition and, if the rule has been estab-
lished that the second on the ticket shall
be the first the next time, he is fitted for
that place, too. The closest contest was
for the secretaryship of State. The
friends of both candidates had evident
ly made thorough canvass, and the re-
suit was by no means clear till the bal
lots had been counted. But DR.. Mich
hOls' supporters labored under great dis
advantages. In the first place, their can
didate had renowned all claim to the
office on entering the field for the gov
ernorship. Mr.. Porter's friends were
then pledged to his support as the doc
tors successor, and when the latter with
drew from the gubernational contest
could honorably do nothing but stick to
their promises. Then, too, it was felt
that DIR. Nichols had held the Office long
enough and that the honor and profits
should now be given another. Mr.. Por-
ter was naturally chosen, both because
of his familiarity with the duties through
long service as deputy secretary and also
FOR the reason that he is popular, capa
BILE and reliable. The " boys" went il
for him, and the young Republicans o.
the State can fairly claim his nomination
as of their making. The other nominees
are excellent and the ticket is one o
which all Republicans may be proud.

terest of all that, at the close of the
debate, all requested vote by ayes
and nays, something the society
had never before done. And after
the announcement of the vote-1S2
tor the National, and 81 for State
prohibition-all bowed in silent
prayer; not mems way of taking
victory and defeat, surely. And at
the evening assembllngs, when
two great theatres overlooked, and
an uncouth class jammed the gall
leries, there was in the department
of all, dnbroken respect paid to the
presence of cultured Christian wo-

men at all points in politics, and
her correlates, the absence of rum
and the voice of prayer, lift the
conduct of public affairs above its

The Western Wave.

Whether Prohibitionists have
been Republicans or Democrats in
the past, those who voted for ST..
John this time will probably never
be anything but Prohibitionists in
the future, at least until the prin-
ciple for which they contend is
triumphant. Until the day of
their triumph, comes, they neither
rejoice with the party that sue
ceeds nor mourn with the party
that is defeated. Knowing both
parties to be wrong on the main
issue, they simply bide their time,
feeling confident that finally the
right will prevail.- Western Wave

Into a Smart.

We have been told about h un-
dred times that the Prohibitionists
have ruined their last chance of
success by voting for what they
wanted, and what we should have
done to secure prohibitionists was
to have voted for one of the old Ii
cense parties. The man who gets
his mind 80 tangled as to believe
such absurdities ought to have his
brain taken out and UNFINISHED. 1t

Oil ON the Waters.

The Wellsburg Herald (Rep.)
throws little oil of common sense
on the troubled waters.
We clip the editorial for the ben
fit of whom it may concern:
There is disposition to be lit
tie hard on the Prohibitionists for
throwing away their votes in New
York and elsewhere, to the num-
Der of a couple of hundred thous-
and and thus defeating Mr.. Blaine.
The Herald as is probably known,
took no stock in the ST, john
phantasy, land yet it has this to say.
The Prohibitionists were not
trying to elect Blaine nor were they
anxious about Cleveland; they
were simply intent on the views
and purposes of the Prohibitionists.
Most of them, it may be assumed,
voted conscienciously for St. John
and, as it appeared to them, in the
furtherance of a reform of more
Importance than the objects con-
templated by other parties in the
field.
If in this they erred in judgment
their error was not greater than
the error of others in not giving
them more consideration when
they could have done it. Had all
the Prohibitionists voted for St.
John who felt like it, Cleveland's
general vote might not have been
as large as it turned out, Blaine's,
very certainly, would have been
less, by several thousand Credit
that to forbearance. The Repu Bill
cans treated them shabbily at Chi.
cago, and at every other conven-
ton of which there is record, and
they were under no obligations to
them as partisans whatever. Oh
the Democracy, they expected moth
ing and they were not disappoint'
ed.
Finally, these men had an indie.
feasible right to vote for whomso
ever suited them and everybody
has like constitutional right to
call them in question, yet and after
all it is no body's business but
their own.
In final conclusion, as Mr.. Gar
field is reported to have announced
God reigns; the Government will
stand Notwithstanding that Cleve
land is elected; and in the end
it will most likely turn out all
right.

The Duty of the State.
BISHOP IRELAND.

Is the liquor traffic to be allowed
to rule as sovereign over our fair
country. This is the question
upon which citizens of America
ought seriously to ponder. l know
well the value of moral suason, of
teaching by individual exhortations
in our battlings with intemper-
ance. But it becomes plain that
citizenship enjoins upon US other
duties in the premises, The State
alone has the power. The enemy
is organized, determined individ-
ual efforts are as pebbles thrown
against a well fortified citidel. The
traffic conscious of the power of the
State, has striven to wrest it to it's
own ends, and the State must hur-
ry to free itself from its evil work
ing captor 1t is a matter bearing
upon its own life; the liquor traffic
threatens destruction to our repub-
lican institutions, and even now it
has in many places made manhood
suffrage a meaningless word.
The State can not be silent and
passive while this traffic fills the
jails and poorhouses, increases ten
fold it's tax list, robs its subjects of
virtue, honor, and life.
The saloon will raise the cry OF
personal liberty, of personal rights.
The State must not be frightened
by vain words from the clear, i'm
perative path of duty.
There is no right, no liberty for
men to prey upon the bodies and
souls of their fellow-men, and to
level blows at the very pillars of
society. The claims of the traffic in
the name of personal liberty and of
personal rights is the bitterest
irony-a deadly insult to the true
liberty and to the true rights of
men.
The liberty which the traffic de-
mands is the liberty to enslave US,
and dip out to us its beer and whis-
ky in exchange for our liberty, our
possessions, our manhood, our pur-
ity, our eternal hopes. A way from
us with this demon-like liberty
But such is to day the working of
the liquor traffic that, to counter
act it's baneful tendencies, another
law is needed besides those now on
statute books-a law having for its
effect reduction in the number of
saloons, Their present number is
constant provocation to intern
perance; the temptation to drink
is brought to every mans door.
