A CURIOUS CANVASS,
From the Burlington Free Press.

The latest circular letter issued by Mr..
Page,-or at least the latest that has
come to our knowledge-a still later one
may be in circulation by this tme-reads
as follows:
HYDE PARK, VT, May %, 1890.
Dear Sir-Will you please give me on this
sheet the names of five or ten of my most re-
liable ana active supporters in your town!
Information touching the state of the can
vass, a well as any advice or suggestion
whic h may occur to you, will be thankfully
received.
Thanking you in advance for your reply,
which | hope you will give me by return mail,
remain yours trny,
AS we have said before. Mr.. Page is
entitled to his free choice of methods as
long as he violates no law; and the peo-
pie of Vermont are as free to exercise
and express their own opinions in regard
to the streams of personal solicitations, in
quries, offers to ''reciprocate," and ar
rangements for packing the caucuses
which pour so steadily from the fountain
head at Hyde Park. Why, we hear self
respecting citizens ask, is so much man
ipulation and management needed? When
was anything like it ever known in Ver-
mont before:
What candidate for any office in the
gift of the people of Vermont ever before
undertook in this way to forestall the
free choice of the voters? Is devouring
desire for an Office a qualification for
public service: Does the fact that a
candidate is trying to crowd himself up
on the people by manufactured news
paper booms by a literary bureau, by
town canvasses of the voters, by letters
and circulars scattered almost broadcast
throughout the State, rightfully CON-
mend him to the the favor and support
of the Republicans of Vermont: If it does
then we have indeed entered upon new
times. But unless we are woefully mis-
taken, the direct contrary is true, Mr.
Page has at least one positive disqualifi
cation for the office of governor, for his
course shows that he does not under.
stand the people of our State. The two
candidates are before the Republicans OF
Vermont. Their records, characters anC
qualifications are tolerably well under
stood. The voters, as mass, undoubted
ly intend to exercise their free, unbiased
choice between them and the result will
show that the" cannot be "corralled'' by
these new methods of office-seeking man
ipulation.

ported by A. p. Upper, Esq, while G..
F. Kingsley, Esq, for the defendants
opposed the motion. The question dis
cussed was mainly one of costs, the
the cause having previously been tried
in the county court, resulting in a YER
dict for the defendants, and having been
remanded on account of the admission
of incompetent evidence. Upon coming
in in the afternoon the court continued
the case without costs to either party.
The afternoon session was an extreme
ly brief one. Judge Taft, finding that
there was nothing for the petit jurors to
do, excused them until next Tuesday
morning. He also said that the grand
jurors would be excused to the same
time as soon as they had completed their
labors, and announced that the court
would take a recess until that day, al
though the side Judges would be on
hand to receive the report of the grand
jury, whenever they might be ready.
States Attorney Wilds was unable to
attend the court on account of the eX-
tremely serious illness of his wife-whose
untimely death on Wednesday morning
is elsewhere noted, and he was repre-
sented before the grand jury by Judge

PRESS OPINIONS.

The Vermont Democracy is not so big
as the Democracy of New York, but it
does its best to be as noisy and inharmo-
nious.-[ Boston Journal.
For secretary of state no better man
can be named than Chauncey W. Brown
ell of Burlington. He is known through
out the State, having served as secretary
of the Senate in the last legislature. His
personal character and reputation are
above reproach; his qualifications for
the office second to none.-T Green Noun

An inquisitive reader wants to know
what urgent necessity there was for nom-

of the State is engaged in vigorously
