Strengthen Coast Dcfcnses.

In an article in the Cosmopolitan Maya

OF preparing for possible aggression by
strengthening our coast offences. lie
shows that war, when it does come, may
come with no little or no warning. Dur
ing the III years from 100 to 1870 there
were over 100 cases when hostlllties were
commenced without declaration of war
The editor of the Cosmopolitan, John Bris-
ben Walker. follows Gen Miles with an ar
ticle, the nub of which is as follows: at
is foolish for us TO go on building navies
But it Is the part of wisdom to plant
enough long-range guns along our great
harbors to sink the average fleet. That
done, we may rest content in the certainty
that any declaration OF war would quick
~ be regretted by even tho most formid-
able opponent. In order that we may as
sumo an offensive position, our navy must
be added to eight or nine times. For pure
~ defensive purposes 1t is already quite
large enough."Th5 is substantially the
view previously taken by Senator Proctor
in his mastery speech on the subject.

ANOTHER POLITICAL CANARD.

Tho statement originally appearing in
the Boston Transcript that Senator Ed
munds had written ono Of the Vermont
delegates to the republican national con-
vention n letter in which he expressed
his disgust at tho action of the Vermont
State convention in endorsing Major Nc
Kinley and his opinion that the delegates
ought not to be influenced by such action
is still going the rounds of tho press. The
delegate referred to. Col IL. C. Smith, of
st. Adams, has explicitly denied the truth
OF this statement, having simply informed
n representative of the Transcript that
Senator Edmunds merely expressed the
hope tho Vermont delegation would not
act foolishly at ST. Louis Nevertheless
this canard wfll probably furnish the text

To tho Editor of the Free Press:
] have looked for a possible denial OF
statements made by Mr.. NJ. A. Bingham
in his letter to the Free Press OF May llth.
but seeing none, after this lapse of time,
| take It for granted that they are true.
AS l participated in the county conven-
ton of 1894. / personally know 1t to be
true that Mr.. Bingham's defeat was solely
due to the persistent claims OF Judge
Wales friends that he would not ask for
another election, and this argument was 50
strongly used that 1t DETECTED n sufficient
number of Mr. Binghams supporters to
give the nomination to Judge Wales.
Judge Wales certainly proffted by these
promises. whether he was party to them
or not, and certainly think it unfair. or
at least not political equity, for him now
not to stand by the promises OF his friends,
who saved the day for him and turned
defeat into victory.
Mr. Bingham Is well qualified for the
position, and the voters OF this county
will make no mistake In nominating him
for judge OF probate.

Judge Wales said at the conference that

Mr.. stiokncy's Democratic supporters

One OF the peculiar and suggestive fea-
lures Of tho present campaign for the
republican nomination for governor in
this State Is tho activity Of the democrats
in behalf OF Mr.. stielSneys candidacy II
Is no secret that the democrats OF YER
mont are unusually enthusiastic this year.
Their State convention at Montpelier was
an unusual one for them, and they have
evidently started In with the intention Of
making the republican majority In Sept
ember as smah as possible, for the sake of
the effect that 1t will have upon the ma
tional canvass and the presidential cleo
tion In November Our democratic friends
are plainly of the opinion that Mr. Stick
ney would be much weaker candidate
Than Maj. Grout and they feel that with
the former as an opponent they would be
able to materially reduce the majority
which the republicans have set out TO
secure in the Green Mountain State in
this presidential year.
That the democrats are now seeking in
every possible way to bring about Mr..
Stickney's nomination is now demonstra-
ted fact The democratic Montpelier Ar
gus has all along sought to discredit Mai.

stickney's cause, working side by side

To tho Editor OF tho Free Press:
As n supporter OF William W. Stckney

ments made in the Burlington Daily News
of June /, in relation TO the Shelburno
caucus. DR. Webb never issued an order
that Shelburne should elect n Grout dele

thermorc he never promptly sent bnck
word that this wouldn't go; that the town
must send him and another Cirout man"
when ut was represented to him that the
Shelburne republicans were not for
Grout."
II Is true that DR. Webb did signify n de-
sire TO he a delegate TO the State conven-
ton for personal reasons aSnd the republic
cans of Shcburne OF both tho Grout and
Stckney factions were perfectly willing
to concedc to him this. the first request
that he has ever made to them for office.
DR.. Webb has never evinccd n dispos ton
to run or own" the town, except that
beautiful portion OF it that he has bought
and paid for, and has never dictated in re-
gard to town matters, since he has been n
resident, one-half as much as he would
have a natural right to do with his large
interests and property holdings here and
the republicans of Sheburne would be
glad to honor him at any time with any
