Public Opinion.
FULLY INDICATED.

Even before Judge Royce gave his
testimony it seemed evident to us that
the respondent had failed to substan-
tiatc the charges made. Judge ROyce's
evidence was so plain, consistent and
truthful as to show exclusively, with
other testimony given by the best peo-
pie of st. Adams, that the whole mass
of charges were without foundation,
but malicious attack by some one t } us
unknown upon Judge Royce's charac-
ter, with the purpose of defeating his
further reelection to the judgeship.
In a fair, impartial and exhaustive
trial he has been fully indicated and
the people will heartily rejoice in the
fact Newport Express.
THE NEW MULLIGAN LETTERS.
The publication of the last series of
Mulligan letters completes the national
humiliation of the nomination of Mr..
Blaine. Had the letter written by him
to Mr.. Fisher on the 10th of April,
1876, inclosing a letter which he asked
Mr.. Fisher to copy and return to him
as his own voluntary act, been made
public before the republican conven-
ton, it is impossible that Blaine could
have been nominated, unless the re-
publican party has really fallen as low
as its democratic opponents assert. 1t
is now plain enough why Mr.. Blaine
was so alarmed when he heard during
the investigation that Mr.. Mulligan
had arrived in Washington with the
letters which he supposed to have
been destroyed, and why the passion
ately excited scene with Mr.. Mulligan
followed. Mr.. Blaine supposed the
letter proposing that Mr.. Fisher should
tell falsehood to project Mr.. Blaine
himself was among them, and he knew
that the publication of that letter
would necessarily be fatal to his hopes
of the presidential nomination. The
letters previously published seemed to
us sufficient to show the unfitness of
Mr.. Blaine for the hi est official trust
in the government. But no honest
man can escape the plain conclusion of
those now made public. They convict
Mr.. Blaine beyond question of taking
"44 ,O0O0, 900 of people into his conf
dence" and deliberately telling them a
series of falsehoOds. They leave him
exposed as trading upon his official
position as speaker for his own gain.
They complete the most amazing and
painful disclosure that was ever made
of a candidate for the presidency of
the United States. The
Blaine organs have the hardihoOd to
assert that the letter of Mr.. Blaine in
closing the draft to Mr.. Fisher, which
he asks him to regard as strictly con-
fidential, and not to show to any one,
and TO burn, and which he sends to
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1884-10-02

the Parker house for greater secrecy,
he knew that Mr.. Fisher is at
the Commonwealth hotel, and tele-
graphs him there to call at the Parker
house and get the letter-this letter,
they say, is a simple request to Fisher
to attest the truth on behalf of Blaine.
The reader, however, will have seen
that it asks Mr.. Fisher to state as the
truth what Mr.. Fisher himself had al
ready declared to Mr.. Blaine to be I'M
true. But, much more than this, the
request is that Mr.. Fisher will copy Mr.
Blaine's letter and send it to Mr. Blaine
to be read as the unsolicited letter of
Mr.. Fisher. Whatever the letter con-
tanned, therefore, the letter was in it
self falsehood. 1t would have had
no effect if it were known to be Mr..
Blaine's letter. 1t was to be presented
to the country, therefore, as the spOn-
taneous testimony of an old friend to
an injured associate. This is but one
point in this shameful business. The
amazing correspondence will be read
everywhere, and considering all its
revelations and implications, its falsi-
fications, its prostitution of official
power and influence, its debasing view
of public morality, and the deep dis
grace that it casts upon the American
name, it is hard to believe that pub
lie officer who has trafficked in his
place as these letters show, and has
then besought a friend to perjure him.

The Barton Fair.

The Barton fair seems to have been
attended by many difficulties. In the
first place, the weather was unpropi-
tious, on Wednesday it being threat
ening, which had the effect of dimin-
fishing the attendance. There was
rain Thursday morning, and although
it cleared off later, the effect on the at
tendance was undoubtedly bad. Sen

ing warm personal friendship with
Judge Royce when both were Young
attorneys, and before Mr.. Royce came
upon the bench. He had never ex-
pected or received any judicial favors
on account of their personal relations.
The first that was heard of scandals
concerning Judge Royce after the cru
SADIE was begun in the Richford Ca
zette. Lawyer Wilson of St. Adams
first told him that Judge Royce was
bad man. This was when st Adams
parties were trying to defeat Judge
Royce for reelection before the legis-
lature in 1882. Some twenty witnesses
testified to seeing Judge Royce enter
ing houses reputed to be infamous,
from three to six times in six years.
He usually entered them before dark
and when people were passing in Main
street.
Judge Royce was put on the stand
as witness for the state, and stated
that on his election to the bench in
1870 he received annual passes by
mail from the various railroad com
panies in Vermont. He had never ap-
piled to any company for passes since
he was elected, and had never re-
quested passes for any member of his
family. He had never received, to his
knowledge, any other favor from any
other railroad in Vermont, and had
never received any other favors, or
promise of favors, from railroads since
he came upon the bench. He had Wis
tied the houses named in the specifi-
cations filed by the respondent within
the past ten years, but on all occasions
the visitations were for lawful pur-
poses. He was not aware when these
visits were made that the places were
Teputed to be houses of ill-fame, OF
that the character of the inmates was
by common report said to be bad. He
had afterward heard it stated that the
places bore bad reputation. He ex-
planned the purposes which led him to
the places in question, and made a
concise statement of the objects of his
several visits. He testified that the
testimony of some of the witnesses for
the respondent was unqualltiedly false
and that he had never seen some OF
the persons with whom it was charged
that he has been seen in company. He
testified that it was not until 1882
when the attacks of personal enemies
were being made to prevent his re-
election, that he became aware thai
the character of the houses which he
had visited was alleged to be bad
Since that time he had never been to
any of the places named or spoken tt
any of the inmates.

The Position of Reformed Pres
byterians.

To the Edi tor of the Caledouian:
In your last Issue is an article en-
titled "An Appeal to Reformed Pres
byterians," in which these people are
urged to vote for st John and Daniel.
As YOU have admitted this article to
your columns, You certainly are will
ing to admit reply. The Reformed
Presbyterians believe that God is the
source of all authority, and that he has
instituted civil government. They be-
lieve that he has committed all author
ity into the hands of his Son, Jesus
Christ that nations as nations in their
organic capacity should profess allegi-
ance to Jesus as their King; and that
nations should receive Gods word, so
far as it applies to civil affairs, as the
supreme standard of law. They be-
lieve that there are special reasons why
this nation, these United States, should
subject herself to Jesus as her sOver.
eign ruler, and receive Gods word as
the supreme standard of legislation.
By comparing the action of the United
States with these principles, we find
that this nation in its organic capacity
does not profess allegiance to King
Jesus and that the Bible is not received
as the supreme law of the land. Still
further they find that this nation has
placed on the throne of Jesus eve,
the people," and instead of the Bible
hes proclaimed the constitution as the
supreme law of the land and thus they
accuse this nation of rebellion against
King Jesus and disregard for the au-
thority of God. Acting on the prin
man, they neither vote nor seek to
| hold office, and refuse to take part in
political affairs. They are laboring for
the welfare of their country. They are
patriots indeed. They have fought for,
and if there is need are still ready to
fight for, our beloved land, and now
they are laboring to persuade this ma
ton to subject herself to King Jesus,
and to legislate according to Gods
word. Until this is accomplished we
cannot take part with any party. We
believe that prohibition is right and
that it is the question of the day. We
desire the success of the prohibition
candidates, but we cannot vote for St.
John and Daniel. They may be quail
flied for the highest office in the gift
of the American people. The prohibi-
ton platform may be all that we desire,
but the prohibition party is not the ma
ton, nor is the prohibition platform
the constitution. We cannot violate
our own sacred principles. We believe
that they are the principles of the
Bible. We cannot do wrong that good
may come. 1t is wrong for Reformed
Presbyterians to vote for any candi-
date for office. There is a difference
between voting for constitutional
amendments and candidates for Office,
and Reformed Presbyterians have not
yet decided that it is consistent for
them to vote for amendments. Some
good men, like Lincoln, may swear to
support the constitution with a view to
amend, but that is an art which Re-
formed Presbyterians have not yet
learned. We act from principle and
not from expediency.

Editorial Notes.

Blaine is not particular about his
methods or his associates. He has en-
tered into an agreement with Don
Cameron, whereby the Pennsylvania
"boss" is to stump Ohio for him. The
end never iustifies the means.
H. H. Faxon has written a letter ac-
cepting the nomination for lieutenant
governor by the Massachusetts prohi-
bitionists. He will make things lively
before the campaign closes.
The Litchtield Enquirer, a stanch
Connecticut republican paper, offers
its columns to any one who will prove
Blaine an honest man. The latest
batch of the Mulligan letters is what
did the business.
The Blaine men are charging that
st. John is running his campaign with
democratic money. At the same time
they publish statement that the lack
of money makes the democratic mana
gers regard the situation rs desper-
ate one. No comment is needed.
Grant called on Blaine in New York
1t must have been fearful meeting.
The biggest card the Blaine men
can play in this campaign is to get a
statement from Senator Edmunds that
he regards their candidate as an honest
man. But that is a card they do not
hold.

The ROyce-MaIOney Libel SUIT.
EDITOR MALONEY CONVICTED OF LIBEL
ON THE FIRST BALLOT.

The case of the state VS.. NJ. J. Ma
lOney, editor of the Richford Gazette,
or libeling Chief Justice Royce, was
begun in the Orleans county court at
lrasburg on Tuesday of last week be-
fore Judge Powers. Maloney was de
Tended by Messrs. A. G. Stafford OF
Burlington and Henry c.. Adams, w.
ID. Wilson and Willard Harrington of
st. Adams. The defendant pleaded
not guilty, and the court assigned L.
H. Thompson of Irasburg to assist the
state attorney. Copies of the Gazette
were introduced as evidence to show
that the Gazette had contained articles
charging Judge Royce with official
misconduct and bribery.
The first witness was John Young of
Newport, member of the firm of Ed
wards, Dickerman and Young. His
evidence established the fact that Ma
loney was the recognized editor and
publisher of the Richford Gazette.
Col. Ar Il. Jewett, superintendent of
the st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad, was next sworn. He testified
that Judge Royce, in common with
other judges of the supreme court, had
IOE years JTdNelleu on al annual pass
over his road. 1t was custom that
had prevailed for many years in Yer
mont. Such favOIs were not given to
influence judges in litigation nor for
corrupt purposes. 1t was good policy
for railway to give passes to promi-
nent and influential men. 1t tended
to advertise the line and to secure
business for the road.
The respondent called twenty wit
nesses to prove the specification which
set forth visitatiOns by Judge Royce
to three houses in st. Albans, believed
to be infamous and occupied by women
of bad character and in support of
the charges of bribery.
Ex-GOv. Smith testified that annual
passes were given to judges and state
officers over the Vermont Central that
the custom was begun when the Yer
mont Central was opened and had been
continued since, with no intent or de-
sire to win official favor or TO corrupt
the recipients. He testified to form

was announced that Blaine would

fear to rest the case on sober ar

the hope of getting up enthusiasm
