The following is clipped from the New
| bury column In the United Opinion Of July
LIST, written by Horace w. Bailey, one OF
the Orange County Republican committee
| chosen at the recent convention held at
Chelsea The St. Johnsbury Republican
| took its dish Of crow manfully anc &C
| knowledged Levi X Fuller the nominee OF
/ the convention, as its long lost brother.
Now then, had the st. Johnsbury Repub-
lican like the Opinion, kept its pages clean
during the recent gubernatorial campaign
il would not now be feasting itself on the
unsavory crow. This kind OF politics that
finds il necessary, or even desirable, for an
| editor oil corporation that owns or operates
a newspaper, to make its pages the vehicle
for conveying TO its readers heaps of OPP
prohrium, bales of billingsgate and cords
OF calumny against the other candidate, ~
| net in politics in the true sense OF the word
but rather peevish flow Of spleen, which
always comes back boomerang fashion 10
the sender and is called crow. A man go-
ing about gathering thorns and thistles,
making herewith a. bed on which to lie,
would be third grade idiot. The Rutland
Herald and st. Johnsbury Republican and
other papers, claiming to be leading jour
mails and progressive educators in this COM
monwealth OF ours have harvested toun-
| tiful crop of thorns and thistles and boom
| eranged them at Col. Fuller, and are now
at the crow banquet. The st. Johnsbury
Daily Republican of June23, being the first
issue after Col. Fuller's nomination, con-
tanned the following:
"If there is any dish OF which we are es-
pecially fond il is crow. The state conyen-
ton gave US good helping of IL, and we
n are eating it like little men, with hearty
enjoyment. We trust that the Rutland
Herald viii join us in the banquet with e.
quail heartiness and relish. May good di-
gestion wait on appetite, and health on
| BOTH"
up to Wednesday we had not been a
] BILE to develop any particular enthusiasm
FOR Col Fuller. Indeed, we may frankly
say that we had regarded him rather cold
ly than otherwise. But on Wednesday,
we saw the strawberry mark which plainly
Identities him as our long-lost brother and
ali was forgiven. Fuller and Victory is
henceforth our MOTTO"
Taking into consideration the fact that
st. Johnsbury Daily Republican Is yet ia
its swaddling clothes, this great fiopadoo-
die act of theirs which would do honor to
an experienced acrobat, astonishes the ma
tives A tremendous dose of soothing syr-
up was administered to the st. Johnsbury
infant in the form OF a place on the State
committeeship to one of its editors. Don't
fall into the error OF mistaking this topa
doodle act for genuine repentance for they
are not related, even by marriage. A ma
iority of the republicans OF Orange county
by their delegates in convention, support
ed one OF her own sons, Hon. V. /. Spear
OF Braintree, for the high position of Gov
ernor, your correspondent being one of the
number. The OPINIONS editorial of last
week among other things, said:
"From the result, we are convinced that
our former statement was correct. that
some parties were making use of Mr.. Spear
only as means to defeat Col. Fuller"
In general way the result of the con-
vention did show just what the above clip
ping states. However, It is a fact beyond
question, that so far as Mr.. Spears sup
porters in Orange county are concerned,
his vote was the result OF genuine appre-
citation Of Mr.. Spear as man of ability
and true worth, without malice to the sue
cessful candidate, hence we are spared the
modification OF the great and only fiopa-
doodle act invented and kept for future
use by those st. Johnsbury boys. Now,
then, here's the problem, II before the con-
vention Col. Fuller was not, insthe eyes of
the st. Johnsbury Republican, fit for
governor, think ofthe cussed mean things
they said about him) and the next day az
ter the convention Levi K Fuller, govern
or elect, was plenty good enough for them
the axiom must be, to wit: at was a lie
before the convention or falsehood after,
else il was falsehOod before the conven-
ton or a lie afterwards" Select which ey-
er horn of the dilemma seems most con-
genial. The decalogue of God handed
down from Sinai has no place in American
