Decidedly CoTuplim ontary.

From tho salt Lake City Herald
Way down in Vermont, the home OF the
able and distinguished author of the Ed
nIunds law, there is published a most ex-
cellent newspaper, the Burlington FREE
Press AND TIMES. 1t is edited with rare
ability, and it wields not little influence
throughout New England, because 1t is much
brighter, better and moro clever than the
average journal produced way down East.
After saying this much, which we can d o
consoientiously, we will reproduce its lead

TO INC Eultor OF tho Frec frcss:
desire to call attention to Colchester s
equitable claim to the office Of States at
torney for the coming term. The town,
although the seventh in the State in poi Mt
of population, has never been honored by
the office. While every other town in the
State which has only half the population Of
Colchester has had the office, yet Colchester
has been made an exception, and stands
alone in this respect. 1t has been given to
Milton, Jericho. Richmond and Essex, but
never to Colchester. Does not sense of
political right demand that the town should
be recognized
Our townsmau, Mr.. II. +. Wolcott, as is
well known, is thoroughly qualified for the
Office aud the county could not make better
selection. Let the republicans of the county
deal justly by Colchester.

To the Editor OF the Free Press
The question may we'll be asked at this
time whether there can be any better reason
for the denomination OF States Attorney
Cushman, than there was to renominate any
OF the gentlemen who held the Office in the
past. We have had Messrs. French, Taft,
Englesby, Roberts, Hard, Palmer, Peck,
Bingham, Russell, Brownell and Foster,
none of whom, excepting Mr. Foster, have
held the office two full terms. and his cleo.
ton was under peculiar circumstances and
for particular reasons.
Surely none of Mr.. Cushmnn's friends
will claim that he possesses more ability, is
better qualified and is entitled to more
lOnOrs at the hands of the county than any

Colchester, May IL, 1892.


To the Editor of the Free Press:
As there is more or less opposition in re-
gard to the Office of States attorney at the
present time, l wish to express my opinion
with the rest.
The only opposition to the present in
cumbent seems to DO that he has held the
position for one term and that the Office
should be passed around.
Now the fact that Mr.. Cushman has held
the office for one term, during which time
he has served the county faithfully and well
seems to me to be no reason for dropping
him at this time. but on the contrary very
good reason for retaining him.
II is well known that the duties of e
State attorney are numerous and of var-
GUS natures and that it necessarily takes a
new man some little time to get acquainted
with the work and person that has held
the office for one term is certainly prepared
TO do better work for the interest of the
county than a new man, and this is coming
to be recognized more and more throughout
than the exception at the present time.
Judging from the honest, careful and
conservative record of Mr.. Cushman, dur
ing his present term, it seems to me that
Chittenden county cannot afford to deprive
itself of his services for the coming two
years,
Let US give him a hearty denomination as
he so well deserves. REPUBLICAN,.

To the Editor OF the Free Press:
In view OF the fact that the office of
States attorney is the only ono for which
there are several asprants, it seems proper
to say word on that subject. During the
pnst six years in Addison, Washington,
Franklin, Orleans and Chittenden counties,
the second term precedent has been estab-
lished and has met with general approval,
and it is generally understood that Judge
Stanton, the present incumbent in Wash
ington county, will be rendered second
term.
As Mr.. Cushman is candidate for re-
election in this county it seems proper to
glance at his record. The largest amount
of fines and costs paid to the county clerk
at any one term Of court for terms be
| fore Mr.. Cushman came into office was sub
stantally $3.50 For the half year ending
with the last April term, S55S1 in fines and
cost was paid to the county clerk, not in
Guiding about $3.50 required by law to be
paid at the House of Correction, IN case.
where the respondents have been therein
committed.
For the three terms under Mr.. Cushman
there has been paid to the county clerk il
fines and costs SO. $40, which exceeds by
more than $1,000 the amount for any three
consecutive terms while AR. Ray has been
county clerk.
The first conviction for perjury in liquor
cases ever secured in this county, and We
believe in this State, is due to him, aud b,
now has three such convictions to his credit
In short Mr.. Cushman has been u fear
less, careful and successful rosecuting Off
Ger, and thinking men will hesitate bsfor,
dropping him to place SO important an office
| in untried hands.
CONSERVATIVE.

more, we suspect, who feel that such
policy would be the worst possible, as
far at least as their own future is CON
cerned. The Democrats from the West
and South have behind them constituent
cies who have been taught to believe and
do believe that the free coinage of silver
will in some way put money in their poe
kets, and make their lot much happier.
The fact that their notion of the way in
which this will come about is somewhat
vague has no tendency to weaken their
conviction. They have set their hearts
on free silver and in a great many in
stances their representatives in Congress
have been instructed to vote for it. Some
of these representatives may be con-
WINGED that it would be better to post
pone action for the present, but they
know the feeling of their districts
and they know it will be much safer to
go counter to their own views than to
those of their constituents.

The Democratic opponents of free sill
yer are protesting some confidence that
they will be able to defeat MI. Bland S
free silver bill when it gets upon the
floor of the House. The ground oftheil
confidence is not definitely given, but it
GEMS to be their impression that enough
Democrats may be imbued with the feel
ing that to precipitate free coinage
measure upon the country at the present
time would be bad move politically, tt
shelve this bill. 1t is practically admit
ted that a great majority of the Demo
cratic members believe in free coinage
and that if they do not vote for it now il
will be with the understanding that after
the Presidential election free coinags
measure shall be taken up and passed
But while there are undoubtedly SOM
Democratic believers in free coinage who
think it would be good politics to post
pone the matter, there are a good man.

Washington Star.]
More than year ago it was seen that
the new Congress would have to adopt
the spirit if not the forms of the "Reed
rules" and the Star, noting the Demo
cratic aversion to the quorum counting
features, predicted a determined Demo
cratic effort to perform the difficult labor
of inventing some means of doing bust
ness without resort to counting those
present as voting. The principal fea-
lures of the new rules is the power con-
ferred on the committee on rules to re-
port and of the chair to cut off dilatory
motions in order to submit the report of
the committee to instant action. This
liffers from the rules of the Fifty-first
Congress only in this, that the Speaker
md two other members of the committee
AN do in the case referred to what the
speaker alone was empowered to do by
Jhe Reed rules. The Democratic horse
las not only been brought to the water;
lie has been forced to drink. Leadership

viii the Argus kindly explain why 1t
is. if high license is so much superior to
prohibition in SURPRISING drinking
and drunkenness, that Massachusetts
towns are gradually substituting the lat
ter for the former? 1t cannot be claimed
that Massach ..setts is ignorant of the
virtues of license fer it has tried it for
many years. Why then is it substituting
prohibition, as the Argus admits that it
is? Is it because the people of Massa-
chusetts do not want to suppress drink
ing and drunkenness?
