THE BRISTOL CAUCUS.

Editor Caledonian: The Burling-
ton Free Press of Monday morning
says 1.-The result of the republican eau
Gus in this town was due to the ele-
ments. Col Woodbury's supporters
are largely among the substantial
farmers and these were kept from the
caucus by the violent storm which
came up just before the hour for the
caucus Mr.. Pages friends are most
numerous in the village and were at
hand. The result has convinced
every one that this town if fully
polled would be for Woodbury. by a
good majority
The above report was undoubtedly
manufactured in the Free Press office
or sent in by a Woodbury. worker, as
the local correspondent of that
paper informs me that he sent an i'm
partial report giving the vote (which
they did not PUBLISH as IT'S for the

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The letter published elsewhere from
a reliable Bristol citizen shows some
tactics of the other side that are far
from commendable. 1t should be
read and pondered over.
Every republican voter should at
tend both the congressional and state
caucuses. In Vermont, unfortunate
| ly, issues are decided at the caucuses
instead of at the polls and every re-
publican should be at the caucuses.
AS the Caledonian helped circulate
the story that Marsh o. Perkins OF
| Windsor voted for the high license
bill it is no more than fair to say
that his vote against dismissing the
high license bill was simply to allow
discussion of the measure, while not
necessarily favoring the measure it

The name of Hon. H. c. Ide of this
place will be presented to the state
convention next week as a candidate

None of the Hooker papers, which
have been greatly exercised over the
hearty support the Brattleboro
Phoenix is giving Gen. Grout, have
been honest enough to tell their read
ers just why the Phoenix opposes
Hooker. They all lay it to the post

est reason why that paper does not
support Hooker. 1t opposes him on
account of his character. habits,

do not claim that Gen. Grout is in
fallibie but we do believe that he is
vastly superior to Col. Hooker and
that he will be returned to Congress
next fall

resulted in positive benefit to the
