Gov. Smith wants to kick the kickers.

The most humble and devoted republicans
should be lel free to kick against the kicker il
he chooses, and we think, in this liberty loving
state, he will occupy this position anywy,[-
St. Adams Messenger
This is of course II deliberate attempt
to deceive the people by an insinuated
falschood, and isplainly aimed at Sena-
tor Edmunds, Nobody knows better
| than Gov. Smith and his hired man
Gibbs, who rms his lying Messenger
for him, that Senator Edmunds did
not kick in the sense he means to imply
in the above paragraph. On the con-
trary, he voted the republican ticket
housekeeping to Vermont from WASH
ington for that especial purpose-and
he advised everybody else to vote for it
also; though not because j. G. Blaine
was the candidate, but in spite of that
fact, and because it ,raS the republican
ticket. He simply did not make speech
cs for Blaine, and that was the extent
of his offending, neither more nor less.
1t is well known that Senator Edmunds
has never been an admirer of Mr..
Blaine and his political and business
methods, and he had frankly said so in
spoken and written words too plain and
emphatic to be misinterpretcd or eX-
planned a way, even if he had been will
ling to go back on his declaration and
convictions, which he was not. lie is
not that kind of a man; and, for one,
we arc very glad he is not. We prefer
man who will steadily stand by his
honest opinions, even though they may
sometimes be wrong, to one who is all
things to all men and is always ready to
turn himself inside ont and eat his own
words and fawn and crawl on his belly
for popular favor. In spite of Mr..
Blaine being the candidate, Mr.. Ed
munds thought and said and voted his
convictions that the country would be
safest and its welfare be best promoted
by the success of the republican party
that the democratic party had been uni
formly wrong for thirty years on every
essential issue before the people, in
Guiding the great rebellion, and that it
would be an extremely hazardous OK
pertinent to put the control of the gov
eminent into its hands. He said this
constantly throughout the campaign,
both in public and in private, and vo-
ted accordingly. Now in all this where
does the clicking" come in of which
Gov. Smiths organ speaks? Nowhere.
But entertaining the opinion he did,
and does, of Mr., Blaine personally, he
very properly and naturally declined to
stultify himself by going on the stmmp
and eulogizing him, as Gov. Smith and
men of his accommodating principles
and conscience would have done doubt
les under like circumstances. And is
there in honest man in Vermont who
does not in his heart honor him for it?
We belevenot. We certainly hope not.
1t is high time for pious Gov. Smith to
stop this lying talk about Senator Ed
mund's clicking"

CORRESPONDENCE.
For the SITTER,

FOR tne slfTEh'l
M. Edtor: Inotice that you and
your correspondents are prodding IL
round for more information about the
truly wonderful career Oet him tell iD
of "Aurora Borealis Fuller" and hun
dreds of people this way are watching
with intense interest and curiosity for
new Developments. In the account of
his brilliant life that he has recently
written and published he modestly says
that he at one time bought a Machine
Shop and runit awhile on his own hook
or words to that effect. There has al
ways been deep mystery these parts
about that Machine Shop, which was
always kept securely double locked,
and to which no uninitiated mortal ever
gained willing admittance. There was
a big sign across the front, reading
"Pldning Machines mdde here," but
nobody ever saw planning machine is
sue from its carefully barred doors.
Finally, when United States marshal,
Hugh II. Henry, armed with authority
from the United States Circuit Court,
suddenly unlocked its doors with a crow
bar, not single planning machine or
any part of planning machine was
found. 1t was whispered about at the
time that a lot of cheap hand sewing
machines, fabricated on astoen patent,
were discoveries; but this of course
could not be true, for man who can
easily invent mousetrap, sewing ma
chine or new solar system any morn
ing before breakfast, could have no pos
siblc use for a stolen patent. But there
are lots of people who would like to
know what Levi really acaS doing be-
hind those closed doors. I think that
was the time when he was after the au
rora borcalis.

SEVERE WESTERN STORMS.

A terrific hailand wind storm Friday
night, moved path from three to
four miles wide through the country 10
miles southwest of Kankakee, Ill.
Every kind of vegetation in the storms

thy have been moved down and even
beaten into the ground. Windows

rooted. Adam Fritz was killed by
lightning and Kate Shannon badly i'll
iured. An electric storm of a very de-
structive nature, accompanied by hail
and rain, passed through Dixon Sun

of all kinds, especially fruit, which will
be a complete failure Buildings of
different kinds and telephone and tele-
graph wires We're blown down in vari-

The Question settled at last.

When in New York the other day
Levi Fuller strutted about i'll his new
official war paint and feathers, and fl
nally got himself interviewed by a re-
porter for the New York Tribune, (the
same accommodating fellow that, for a
consideration, printed bulletins of Col.
Hooker's opinions every three or -four
days,) and we hasten to give our read
ers the substance O. of what he said.
The Tribune jenkins says:
81 was talking with Colonel Fuller about
the Edmunds matter in his State, when he re-
marked that he had not as yet seen single
article anywhere that reflected the realstate OF
affairs. When / asked him to tell me the sit
uation he. replied: We'll, that l can hardly
do either. You see. Vermonters are peculiar
They do not want to see themselves as New
Workers see them, nor yet as Massachusetts
people eshem. They care only to see them
selves as if in mirror of their own"
lust as clear as mud! If Levi had
talked three or four hours, as usual, he
wouldn't have made it bit clearer
After reading the above if anybody
longer doubts about the realinwardnes:
of the "Edmunds matter" he must bt
blasted fool. For clear and concise
statement about anything underheaven
in say about three quarto volumes, gives
us Levi Fuller. There'll be neither be
ginning nor end nor head or tail to it
But when he brings his powerful mine
to bear on any subject, even the famous
Capt. Bunsby, who could 'give an o
pinion as is an opinion" had better re
tire. "Whereby why not? If SO, wha
odds? Can any man say otherwise
No. Avast then!"

To "confess and avoid'-in desperate
cases, where the charges made cannot
be successfully denied, is considered
rather shrewd legal dodge, we be-
lieve. Except one little characteristic
fling, prompted by another and aimed
at random, as usual, the Reformer
fairly challenges our admiration by al
most rising to the dignity of manliness
in its reference to our gentle admoni-
tons. If it practices in future as it
breaches now, it can have no quarrel
with the SITTER. Anticipating posi-
bly, less sensible reception of our adj
vice, we had prepared as a first dose a

Editor Stler:-The announcement
in your paper, and others, that L. Biz
ncy Lamson, the post-otfice light of
New England had succumbed to that
dreadful disease, removal, has greatly
shocked this entire community, where
his workings are well known and con-
demned. The very thought that such
a faithful worker in the vineyard of the
corrupt ring in Vermont should meet
this sad end is enough to shock any
community. What will he do for liv-
ing? is the question asked by many.
Some seem to think he will associate
himself with mouth-almighty- Goddard
and Martin, the three forming COM
bination to remove the administration
for presuming to have the right and
power to remove this fellow from the
important office of post-office inspector.
Others seem to think that he ought to
have money to retire, while others are
of opinion that he and Low would do
well to enter into partnership, with head
quarters at No. Hinsdale, and engage
in removing democratic postmasters
but for one leetle drawback, the want
of pliable inspector. Alas! poor Biz
ney has STEPPED down and out greatly
to the abstraction of honest men of all
parties. What intense mourning there
must be inside the ring at the loss of
this valuable assistant. He did not vote
for Blaine, neither did he vote for
Cleveland, ESQ he says), you have his
word for it, not ours. Remorse and
misfortune will Overtake the guilty
wherever they may go. Succumb to
right they one and all shall in due time,
and the guilty shall be punished. So
says this administration; and L. Birney
Lamson has gone to his home early in
life, we hope fully resolved to lead a
different life and work for honest pco-
pie instead of the corrupt ring that has
been at his back through his official ca
reer. Farewell Birney! No more will
you ride on passes issued to the gov
ernment. No more will you dictate to
the people who shall fill their post-ofli-
ces. No futher use can you be to the
ring. and you will sink into oblivion
and be forgotten; but your deeds, as q
post office inspector, will out live you
and forever make honest men shun you
Seek consolation from your bosom
friends, mouthy-Goddard and Low
Martin, both Of whom are buried pc.
litically. RIGHT
NIT. G. Crawford, the well-know
Washington correspondent of the New
York World, writes to his paper as fol
lows:
A veteran democrat said to Inc yes
terday: "The day of talking scandal
about Blaine is in the past. Everything
that can be said about him has beer
said, while to-day he has greater in
dividual hold upon the people than any
man in the country. There is no ust
in talking about the dead matters of tn,
last campaign. The Electric states

The reason the Reformer is so sweet
on Lo. Martin?
If it will tell why Martin brought up
the license bill at an evening session
and killed it during the absence Of its
father, A. p. Childs?
And when he became a temperance
crank? :
And what was the original contents
of nest of bottles, up in Derry!
Why he (Martin) didn'ttry the soldier
dodge at the village meeting, Monday
evening?
And how it was that Jock was cut
out?
