LETTER FROM SENATOR MORRILL,
Explains why He Opposed tho Cuban
Resolutions.

New York, March 3. The morning
papers print the following despatch from
Senator Morrill, under date of Washing
ton, March 2:
"A simple recognition of the rights of
belligerents would do the Cubans as much
service as any long rigmarole containing
extravagant expressions of independence
could possibly do. I would have voted for
such q simple recognition.
Then, too, / doubted whether the war
In Cuba had indicated such progress on
the part of the insurgents as entitled them
to anything more. They have no navy, NO
ships. no port. Their government has no
fixed locality. 1t might as well be car
ried about the country on a bicycle.
Their constitution was not constituted by
any convention, but is rather a rough
brief copy of our constitution that any
young man could have put together in a
short time.
Besides, II was going TO play game
of swagger, | would rather do 1t with
Great Britain or some other power, than
with weak government like that of
Spain.
Had there been a division of the two
propositions, as 1 sought to bring about
would have voted for recognition as bel
ligerents. Any senator has the right to
demand the division of any proposition
that Is susceptible OF division, and the
acceptance by the chair of the indivisibil-
ity OF the proposition was not the accept
ance OF the Senate. 1t should properly
have been divided, and my vote would
then nave been cast as have Indicated
1 was not prepared to go as far as did
the rest, and l was compelled to vote
against the whole proposition
tSlgned) JUSTIN S. MORRILL,
Senator from Vermont"

GOV. MARTIN CHITTENDEN.
New York, Feb. %, 1885,
10 the editor Of the Free Press.

New York, Feb. 25 1896
To the Editor of the Free Press
l thank you for your issue of the 10Th
INST. containing the letter of Martin Chit
tenden to Jonas Galusha of February 2.
1915. The letter confirms my impression
that Martin Chtitenden was q democrat
when elected TO Congress in 1903 or II not.
tnat ne was not then pronounced feder-
alist.
Jonas Galusha was Martin Chittenden's
brother-in-law, having married Mary, the
second daughter of Governor Tom" He
was elected governor by the people in
1870, 1911, 1872, and from 1915 to 1919, inclu-
sive. In 1918 he was defeated by Martin
Chittenden by a very small majority on
the popular vote. In 1914 there was no
election by the people. In the Joint as
sembly OF the members OF the council and
general assembly Chittenden was elected
by liz votes against III, counted for Ga
lashua, Notwithstanding that 112 members
made affidavits that they voted for Ga
lusha The next year, 1876 Galusha was
elected by handsome majority of the
popular vote.
The governors action at the time of the
battle of Pittsburgh was very offensive
to the people of Vermont. Gen. Macomb
had sent out a stirring call for volunteers
to resist the British invasion. Instead of
responding to 1t favorably, the governor
issued proclamation that 1t was unlaw-
full to send the militia outside the State
for any purpose, and generally advising
citizens not to volunteer. But the people
volunteered with great enthusiasm, and
when the governor came to the wharf In
Burlington and tried to dissuade them
from embarking on the schooners for
Plattsburgh, | have heard one of his
ncphews. who was one of tho privates
present, say, that he charged him to his
face with disgracing his family and his
State by his unpatrlotic course, and scout
ed his advice.
This was the end of his political career.
He led quiet life in Williston, much es-
teemed by his neighbors until 1910, and
died on election day in that year. He had
been quiet but decided supporter Of Old
Hickory and Van Buren,, and / remember
hearing at the time that with all the other
Chittendens he would have voted for Van
Buren, in 1910 II he had been able to cast
his vote.
He was the only Chittenden with any
leaning toward the fedearl party. The 9TH
err members of the family thought his
course was inspired by political ambition
and that 1t cast shadow upon their repu-
tation. His youngest brother. Truman. or
as he was commonly known Judge
True" always claimed that he ought not
to be personally blamed because mot be-
Ing available for other purposes in his
youth, the experiment was tried Of max
Ing something OF him, by sending him to
but the experiment was not a
success" The judges Righteousness was
rather cruel, for better citizen, a more loyal
Vermonter and a kinder hearted man has
seldom grown up even In Vermont the
nursery OF good citizens and loyal kind
hearted men than Martin Chittenden.

CHICAGO. ILL, Sept. 12.-Three hun
dred and fifty Republicans, most of whom
were membe of the Hamilton Club of
Chicago, attended luncheon which was
given to-day at McKinsley's by the club
i'll honor of Chairman Hanna. Fifty 9TH
ers were unable to be present for lack of
room. Short speeches were made by Pro-
fessor Thomas Mcclellan of the Pacific
University, Portland, Or. George Kretz-
niger, E. E. Burley and Murritt Starr of
Chicago.
Mr.. Hanna made the principal address,
speaking to the point that the campaign
issue now laid down by Mr.. Bryan was
between patriotism, intelligence and love
for the law and Republican government,
for which Major Mckinley stood, and rev.
olution, lawlessness and reputation of
republican institutions and Federal Gov
ernment, for which Mr.. Bryan was now
speaking.
Congressman Belknap of Chicago, Ed
ward f. Brown, sub-treasurer of the Ma
tional Committee, Chairman Hatch of the
Illinois Committee and Executive Com
mitteman Dawes were also guests.
There is growing demand at head
quarters in every direction for tariff liter
ature now, the tone of the letters received
at headquarters being that there has been
a surfeit of currency arguments.
Secretary A. B. White Of the West Vir-
ginia Committee reports the Republican
prospects Frightening in his State and the
demand for literature and speeches in
creasing every day. Traiumen and other
employees of the Santa Fe Railroad system
between Emporia, Kans., and Chicago
Will go to Canton next Friday night to pay
their respects to Major Mckinley as men,
bers of the Mckinley club organized on
that road. They will start from Emporia
and stop at all stations on the way to Chi
cago to pick up any club mem pers who
want to join the party. Ninety per cent
of the Santa Fe Railroad men are said to
be for Mckinley and all charges of coer-
cion are vigorously denied.
Congressman Fowler of New Jersey, who
has been speaking in Wisconsin, called at
headquarters and predicted $4,000 major
ity in that State for Mckinley. Herr
Theodore Barth of Berlin, member of
the Reichstag, who is in this country to
study the Presidential campaign. called at
headquarters and talked with Mr.. Hanna.
He will go to Canton next week to see
Major Mckinley by appointment. Hon.
Charles A. Foster of Ohio, ex-Secretary OF
the Treasury, will make several speeches
IN Missouri in response to Chairman Fill
ley's request. He may also speak in Kan
sas and Nebraska, many calls for his SER
vices having been received.

The political waters are gradually
being disturbed and it will not be
long before some wise one will point
out where we are at" Candidates
will be as thick as leaves in a forest
and all sorts of combinations will be
formed. If a gentleman in public
life refuses to cuss out and cry down
another public character, word is
whispered around that combination
is being contemplated. If an official
treats a newspaper man with ordinary
courtesy, it at once is taken for
granted that the official has made a
deal and the newspaper is subsidized,
and so it goes; but little later the
fun will begin. There are several
parties in the State this year: Silver,
Populist, Blackberry Republicans,
Lily-white Republicans, Reform Sore
heads, Conservatives with itching
pains, College Builders and College
destroyers, genuine Conservatives,
and true blue Reformers. We do
not see any reason to chaf under the
collar right away, therefore we pro-
pose to see what ne will see when
the procession comes along, and then
we will draw our breath and conclu-

Sandy Grove, March cit is pretty
hard to make something out OF
nothing, and that is what I am try
ing to do just now. think editors
must have a very hard time when
news is scarce.
Has it or when will the Legislature
adjourn and what have they done or
what are they doing for the benefit
OF We poor farmers? Why do they
not repeal the lien law, which is vir-
tually dead? Some Of our largest
bushes men say they would not turn
on their heel for lien without other
security.
Whv do not the General Assembly
pass an act compelling commercial
drummers to pay license as they do
other agents who are selling by sam.
ole, for instance the book agent, or
else set them all free. They should
not discriminate.
We learn there will be five candi-
dates for sheriff in Williamsburg this
wear and seven candidates for the
same Office in Sumter county. 1t
must be very desirable position.
Mr.. J. Muldrcw Kennedy of this
section, is quite i'll and has been for
some time. DR.. Woods is attending
him. We hope he will soon recover.
We understand Hardee Brothers,
near New Zion, are going to plant
thirty acres OF tobacco this year.
There will be a good deal more to-
bacco planted in Salem this year
than last.
Messrs. Alex Tilton and Capers

Williamsburg, spent last night with
us on their way ,aome from Manning,
where they had been to purchase
