Editor News and Citizen Il would like to
make a statement through the columns OF
your paper to the citizens of Johnson.
The rumor has become current and was
used to the disparagement of w H .Stearns in
the caucus last Saturday night, that l, in
connection with another gentleman, made
free use of liquor to obtain votes for Mr.
Stearns and one of our noble specimens OF
humanity states that he had some of the
liquor himself
Now, wish to say, for my good at least
that this is the grossest talsehood. l gave
away no liquor, nor did 1 have any myself
and 1 have 500 to present to the person
who can show that there was a drop OF
liquor used in the canvas in any shape OF
manner by any one supporting Mr. Stearns

AN EASY MARK.
The Swanton Courier whose editoris an en-
of hos hal ua at he
game here last week thus writes up the affair: =
Swanton captured the second game of the
series with Johnson Wednesday, at the lat
ters ground, 10 to and more mourning
now hangs out along the raging Lamoille
than has been seen in many day. The care
fully selected team wearing the johnson uni.
form made up of crack players from Lamoille
Chittenden aud part OF Franklin county
was not in it at any stage of the game with
our agricultural contingent. big crowd
gathered from the billsides and surrounding
our farmers in a lonely spot in a big meadow,
far away from any human habitation, Cooke
and Hewes we're turned loose and the slogan
went rolling over the buCkwheat fields, Down
with Hog Isand' But we don't down quite
so easy. The natives we're loaded with cat
calls and yells, but they had no opportunity
to use 'em. And Swanton felt somewhat
reduced too, in the absence of Prouty, Bruley
and Gould.
The way the farmers fell on Cooke, q star
Wv. M pitcher, made him wish he had never
been born, and his acrobatc running mate
who started in with lot of monkey-shine
business behind the bat was very wild eyed
and weary when the third inning was reached
and long before the game was over about al
there was left of his remains was black
sweater and a pair of green stockings, not
enough, by the way, to stuff a snake or ever
tape worm. Keenan, put up splendid
game at second and 1ruax took high flies ir
left field like a professional. Hilliker, raj
from third through the crowd, jumped over
three bicycles, down bank and captured 6
foul 1t was great. Dodds pitched in great
form and Tudhope was with him all the time
