An Echo Of the Canvass,

Editor Of the Watchman:--we thought,
when your paper first made its charges OF
" ring rule" against the methods employed
by Mr.. CIRCUITS friends, that you, or rather
the WATCHMAN, was too severe; but we
have lived to see them demonstrated in our
own town. The republican town commit
tee agreed, positively, to call the caucus on
Saturday evening, June 10, at seven o'clock,
to choose two delegates and two alternates
to attend the republican conventions at
Montpelier and at Burlington to nomin ate
candidates for congress and state officers.
We were greatly surprised and bitterly
disappointed on Saturday evening, June 6,
on being informed by one of the committee,
at about seven o'clock in the evening, that
the caucus had been held, two delegates
and one alternate appointed all Grout
men. The voters knew nothing about il,
and only three or four attended. They feel
aggrieved, even where they had no choice
or little cared which candidate for governor
was nominated. We wished to exercise the
freeman's right to vote our choice, of which
we were practically deprived by these ex-
traordinary proceedings. The committee
man having the notices to post was per-
suaded to change the date Of holding the
caucus from June 13 to June g. by one high
in state Office. Now. as Vermont freemen,
we ask for fair dealing in these matters,
open as the sunlight, sure as our hills and
mountains. JUSTICE,
Fairlee, VT, June 16.

official career has anything what
ever to do with Mr.. Howlapd's
aooearance as candidate. Judge
Stanton has already had the office one
term longer than any of his predeces-
sors. Prior to his nomination as states
attorney, he had been four years assist
ant Judge. He has thus held county
office ten successive years. If there
were any reasonable fear that Mr.. How
land would not perform every duty of
his office faithfully and efficiently, there
would be cause for the renewed candi-
dacy of Judge Stanton or some other
competent person. No such fear ex-
lists. On the contrary, there is every
sign aud pre- mise that all the duties OF
the office would be discharged by Mr..
Rowland, if elected, with signal ability
and fidelity. So we see no reason why
he should not be nominated.

cirles. The decisive language in which
the convention formulated the prin.
ciples of the party, the fearless and un-
compromising spirit in which the dele
gates took up and completed their
work, and the decisive majority by
which the resolutions that constitute
the platform were adopted, are in the
highest degree gratifying to the repub
licans of Vermont and the great mass
of republicans throughout the Union.
Even in the states whose delegates
withdrew from the convention by rea-
son of their objection to the currency
plank of the platform, the sober sec
ond thought of the majority is more
than likely, in the end, if not imme-
diately, to be found on the side of
the brother republicans of the states
that formulated the principles aud
finally decided the policy of the party.
In any event, any losses the party may
incur by reason OF its unfaltering 10y

The County Convention.

The situation in respect to county
politics is substantially as stated last
week. The Granite City Leader speaks
of L. Bart Cross of Montpelier as a
candidate for senator. Mr.. Cross
name had been mentioned in connec-
ton with this office. Had he been a
candidate, within the knowledge of
this paper, the fact would have been
announced. On Tuesday afternoon of
last week Mr.. Cross informed the
WATCHMAN that he would not be a
candidate, and the Leader had no au-
thority for the publication it made, and
no warrant for its drive at Montpelier.
For the office of states attorney the
WATCHMAN is informed that Judge
Stanton has been making quiet can
vass for denomination. Judge STAN
ton is representing, it is reported, that
the candidacy of Fred A. Rowland,
Esq, which was announced some time
ago, was inspired by feeling of OPP
position to him because of his official
acts in certain liquor prosecutions.
This view OF the matter, if it is enter
tanned, does injustice to Mr.. How
land and to his supporters. Two
years ago Mr.. Stanton was given
the compliment of third cleo
ton, as an expression of approval
of his efficiency in enforcing the pro-
hibitory law. Mr.. Howland's candi-
dacy was considered at that time and
was held in allegiance by reason of the
general wish to give Mr.. Stanton a
third term. Mr.. Howland's candidacy
antedates by long period of time the
prosecutions which are alleged to be
the ground of the opposition to Judge
Stanton. Nothing in Mr.. Stanton's

Democracy and Free Silver,

All but eight states have chosen del
egates to the Chicago convention.
Classified as to their views on the
money question, the delegates elected
stand, for free silver 1884; for the gold
standard, 246. The states to elect are
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, New York
North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Wis
consin. The expectation is that these
states will add 1872 delegates to the free
silver, and LOG to the gold column,
making grand aggregate of SIG dele
gates for silver, and 1852 for gold. Min
nesota and Maryland are credited to
the gold standard, but the silver men
say they have seven votes in the
former and four in the latter. With
these changes made the relative
strength of the men of silver to the
men of gold will be 5S7 to BAL. The
gold advocates will have to procure a
change of 125 votes in order to have a
bare majority. Can they accomplish
such revolution? The silver men are
terribly in earnest. No quarter has

Vermont Satisfied.

If Vermont alone had framed the
platform at st. Louis, and made the
nomination for president, the great
majority of the republicans of the state
could not have been better satisfied
with the result. The popular choice
of the state has been placed at the head
of the ticket; the cardinal principle of
Vermont republicans, protection to
American industry, is the first and
broadcast plank in the platform. The
remaining declarations, from the cur
rency article to the last, will find hearty
endorsement by the republicans of the
state that will be the first to render at
the polls the verdict of its people upon
the work of the eleventh national re-
publican convention.
Much of the enthusiasm and the
excitement thai follow the publication
of the acts of a national political con.
vention have been discounted for weeks
by the certainty that Mckinley would
be nominated, and that the republican
party would fully meet the expectations
of the great body of the people of the
nation in the declaration of its prin-

Smith and Postmaster General Wilson,
oil members of the cabinet, have been
ruthlessly turned down in their re-
spective states.
William G. Whitney of New York,
the ablest man in his party, the man
whose name justly inspires confidence
and respect, will go to Chicago to fight
for sound money and the salvation of
the democratic party. Mr.. Whitney
publishes statement of his views on
the free coinage of silver in the ratio of
16 to l. In plain, forcible language he
expresses its dangers. If the demo-
cratic convention makes this the issue
of the campaign, he says " lit is seriously
to be apprehended that disruption of
the democratic party might occur" Mr..
Whitney holds out encouragement that
the leading commercial nations of Eu-
rope may soon "adopt the joint stand
ard as the solution of the monetary
difficulties of the world" He is evi.
IDENTIFY in error in this statement, and
the advocates of free coinage of silver

Whitney's strong appeal by pointing

By comparing these figures the stu
dent of history may mark the places
where the deadly blight of treason
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might" Manipulation
had reduced the probable Stickney
strength, the day before the conven-
ton, to the estimates expressed above.
These estimates, by competent men in
each county, were vouched for as the
bed rock of Mr.. Stickney's expecta-
tons. 1t could not be shaken and the
hopes builded upon it could not fail.
The fatal break was in Chittenden
county. Jericho furnished the Bene-
dict Arnold of the struggle, and one
delegate each in Bolton and Hunting
ton crippled under the Establishments
of beaten and desperate combination.
One delegate each in Bennington, Or
ange and Rutland counties, also, sur
rendered to powerful and INSCRIPTIONS
influences. Thus six delegates were
Clipped off from the column ofadamant.
Had two placed honor and patriotism
above other considerations, had two
possessed the virtue and moral heroism
to say to the insinuating devil of a
tempter, Get thee behind me, Satan, !"
the splendid success at the primaries
would have been registered by the
assembled delegates, and the tangible
fruits of brilliant physical victory
would replace the somewhat shadowy
prestige of moral triumph.
The large, and unquestionably the
preponderating, number of the republic
cans of the state, including the great
body of the young republicans, will not
accept as final the result of the Burling-
ton convention. They believe that
they were largely in the majority at the
primaries; they believe that in spite of
the fact that certain caucuses were
carried against them by democratic
votes or assistance, or by the votes of
men who had no honest place in a re-
publican caucus, and in spite of the
further fact that Providence, as at
Brattleboro, was sometimes on the side
of the heaviest battalions, marshalled
under the crack of the whip of local
political dictator, in whose hands were
the vital issues of bread and butter,
that they still had left at Burlington a
safe majority Of all the delegates
chosen; they will believe that this ma
jority was finally overborne by the en-
ployment of "abhorrent and forbidden
forces" and unfortunately this belief
cannot be dismissed as phantasm of
blighted hopes or of minds rendered
morbid by disappointment.
