LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT COM
MANDER MANSUR.

To the Editor of the St. Johnsbury
Caledonian:
In your issue of the 22d inst. / find
an article entitled Not a Political
Machine" in which it is stated that
1.-The Commander of a Grand Army
post in Caledonia county received q
letter from a friend of Col. Wood
bury urging him to use his influence
with his post to swing it into line in
support of the t-governor's
ambition for promotion" In COM
menting thereon you state that
''hundreds of old soldiers feel that it
is time to call a halt when the office
of Observation-Disclosures used for
electioneering purposes" etc.
Were this criticism directed at me
as an old soldier, simply, | should
not trouble you with a reply, prefer
ing to let it pass as said in the heat
of campaign and, though devoid OF
truth, Soonest mended"-by remain
ing unnoticed. This privilege, how
ever, is denied me in the present in
stance for duty to my comrades In
the Grand Army of the Republic, who
have placed me in my present posi-
ton, as well as jealous regard 1Or
the best interests of the order in this
department and elsewhere constra1ns
me to say that the article in ques-
ton, whether directly or inferential-
ly, is wholly without truth so far as
it relates to me as the office of de-
partment commander has not been
used for electioneering purposes, the
"Caledonian" to the contrary not
withstanding.
Permit me to say in conclusion and
it is point which must not be lost
sight of in connection with matters
political and otherwise that a mem
Der of the 6. A. r. does not neces-
sarily become a moral, a social, or a
political nonentity, by reason of his
membershipin the organization. He
is still a citizen of the state and of the
United States and the right of private
judgment and of political action
within legitimate lines has not been
forfeited because he chooses to ally
himself with his comrades who like
wise gave their services to save the
Union. Respectfully yours,
T. M MANSUR.

LETTERS TO THE CALEDONIA

To the Editor of the Ca1edonian:
[ wish to express to you my pleas
ure at the fairness of your report of
the meetings which were held May
18th to act upon the question of an
nexation. In justice to Mr.. Gleed, /
will say that he made no rulings or
decisions in reference to the grand
list, that being a question which can
only be decided by the supreme court.
And | heartily commend his fairness
in all matters which came before the
commissioners, although differ with
him in his construction of the statute.
In reference to the reports as publish
ed i'll other papers in this county,
they were so foolishly if not malicious
1y inaccurate and misleading, that it
is hardly worth while to notice them.
But | wish to make one correction.
They both convey the idea that il
legal votes were cast by the anti-an-
nexatiOnists. One vote from each
side was thrown out for illegality.
The other six votes rejected from our
side were those of legal voters whose
names are on the check list of 1890
but were not on the list of 1899, the
commissioners using the 80 voting
list, and | claim that they were legal
ly entitled to have their votes counted.
