Mr.. Camp of the Newport Express sum
mRrizes our last weeks statement of facts
about the Jamaica post office case and winds
up with this complimentary notice of Mr.
Atkins and his party
He Atkins is the Democratic dictator of
the state There is no Democratic party in
the state except himself. His abiect tools
fawn upon him for an office and sneeze when
he takes snuff. 1t is strange that men with
any manhood in them will suffer themselves
to be led about in this way. Yet at his bid
ding they rise or sit, speak or remain silent.
He throttles all attempts at independent &C
tion and reads out of the party all who will
not bow the knee to him. Henceforth let no
town think it can have its wishes respected
IN the appointment of federal officials The
government has jobbed out the Vermont
post offices to Hiram Atkins and his will is to
be the law hereafter. To what straits is the
national government reduced :"

TWO MORE DEuSKs

On Wednesday afternoon John Gleason,
the young painter, was arrested for being
drunk and troublesome about Rays stable
and locked up Early in the evening Nathan
Miller was about the post office aud town
building IN q condition which drew a crowd
OF boys about him, and after he had been
several times asked TO 60 home he, too. was
locked up Thursday morning both men were
taken before Justiee Newton. Gleason plead
guilty and was mulcted in the usual fine and
costs, amounting in all 10 Sl03s He said
he got his rum at noon OF "a man in the
bridge story which the officers do not be-
heve. The money 10 save him from the
workhouse was not at first forthcoming. but
during the evening his friends ''ehipped in"
and saved him from going mp"
Mr.. Miller resented the insinuAtion that he
was drunk the evening before. The only
beverage that had passed his lips, he said
was two doses Of Jamaica ginger taken 10 re-
heve collie pains. Several citizens thought il
a matter for indignation that a man Of Mr..
MilleTs age and well-known habits should be
arrested, and W. II. Alexander and II. F.
smith appeared as his special attorneys-And
argued his case-or, rather, they argued at
length on the Vermont liquor law and its
manner OF enforcement When the evidence
and arguments were concluded Mr. Newton
felt compelled TO infiot the usual fine of 81.
