1t is the duty of every Republican voter
to attend the caucuses to be held tO-mor-
row to elect delegates to the state and con
gressional conventions. 1t will be the only
opportunity to express the choice, which
we believe exists among the people of Wind
ham county, for HIN Carroll S. Page for
our next governor. 1t will also be the
time when Windham county Republicans
may say in a decided way that they believe
Vermont's high standing in Congress should
be maintained by the reelection of Gen.
Grout. None of Gen. CIRCUITS friends has
any right to show negligence or indiffer
ence by staying away from the caucuses.
If there is a full attendance on the Wind
ham county caucuses there will be no doubt
of Gen CIRCUITS return.

One feature of the Montpelier Watch
mans attempt in this weeks issue to justify
its flop ON the congressional question is
Brattleboro letter on Gen, Grout and the
Brattleboro post Office We wish 70 no
tice this letter so far as to say that it con
tains the statement that Although Re
publican paper in name at least, during
the post office campaign, The Phoenix
would publish no argument or statement of
facts that was in any way opposed to the
disappointment of Capt. Childs," and
further on in the letter, that there was no
room in his The Phoenix Republican %
sheet for any Republican applicant TO be
named or sustained The allegation here
made or intended is that during the post of
flee controversy The Phoenix refused 10
publish anything on the subject not in ac-
cord with its own views These statements
we wish 10 denounce as wholly, absolutely
and unqualifedly false. They are false in
what they say and false in what they insin

was ever refused publication, and there
was never "a time during the whole of this
contest when any proper communication on
the side opposite our own would not have

Mr.. Hines did not enter into the contss
as "a factor There are come Of the 40
upon whom ''the substance of the post of
