terest, not all the outcry against his
business connections or partial resi-
dence outside the State could have de-
feated his nomination for the governor
ship. 1t was an inopportune time for
his candidacy. He has realized this
fact, apparently, and has retired from

good spirit and in manner which in
all respects does him high honor. He
suffers no loss of prestige. Without

Intervention in Cuba.

Hon. e. j. Phelps recently addressed
a communication to Hon. Levi P. Nor
ton of New York, giving his views in
respect to the situation in Cuba. As
an interpreter of the principles of in
ternational law applicable to the stu
alton in respect of Cuba, Mr.. Phelps
opinions would be entitled to high con-
sideration. When, however, he comes
to the facts of the condition of affairs
in Cuba, the inexpert or non-profes-
sional man is as well able to discern the
truth as is Mr.. Phelps. Here the plain
tale of multitude of eye witnesses, at
the head of whom stands Consul Gen
eral Lee, whose competency to testify
is unquestioned, and whose evidence is
solemnly confirmed by so unimpeach-
able an authority as Senator Proctor,
etfectually puts the astute attorney
down. In the light of the evidence
presented, child should not be de-
luded by the sophistries of the distin-
guished lecturer on international law.
His misrepresentation of the real facts
of the conflict in Cuba, of the condition
of the imprisoned non-combatants and
other matters pertaining thereto, while

yet Germany 10 talking about using
force to compel settlement. 1t will
not greatly surprise diplomats IL Spain
settles that German claim by ceding TO
Germany portion Of Cuba or Porto
Rico, solely with the intention to de-
feat the plans Of this government to
make Cuba an independent republic.
IL Germany agreed to such a plan, it
would be deliberately done for the pur-
pose Of provoking a scrap with us as
the Monroe doctrine expressly forbids
the acquiring Of additional territory on
this hemisphere by any European gov
eminent and the United States has too
often reiterated its intention to main
tain that doctrine at all hazards for any
doubt TO exist as to what our position
would be in such q case.

A "VoTER" has named elsewhere on
this page the senatorial ticket for Or
ange county that ought to be nominated
and elected, and the WATCHMAN be-
lieves that the Republicans of "Old
Orange" will choose for Senators the
gentlemen mentioned. Mr.. Lynde
comes from good stock. John Lynde
Of Williamstown was man long :and
highly respected and frequently hon.
ored with public offices of trust and re-
sponsibility in his town and county.
The son inherits. the fathers integrity
and capacity for affairs. Williamstown
is fairly entitled to recognition in the
next Republican convention of the
county and we do not doubt that Mr..
Lynde will be nominated Senator by
the unanimous consent" of the dele
gates. John B. Pickett, Esq, of Brad
ford, is all that "Voter" says of him
and much more. He is, first, man of
high character and right principles. He
is lawyer of marked ability. In
private life and in public Office his voice
and influence have been always en-
ployed on the side of the right, of good
morals and sound public policy. And
he has been no silent or timid factor in
the affairs of his town or county. He
has been an outspoken and resolute
champion of the best interests ofgtown
and county, and in the Senate he would
serve the State with ability and with
patriotic devotion to its best interests.
Interested in having Senate madeIup
OF the best obtainable. material, the
WATCHMAN sincerely hopes that Or
ange county will choose for Senators
men of the stamp of Mr.. Lynde and
Mr.. Pickett, and hopes that, as the pre-
liminary step to this end, the Republic
can county convention will nominate
for the Office Of Senator each of these
same citizens.

rescued the Confederate captain and
bore him away to England.
These are the facts Of history with
respect to the Alabama. BY reason Of
England's neglect to employ educ dill
gence" in preventing the departure
Of this vessel and her sister destroyers,
the tribunal at Geneva ordained that
she pay the United States the $4,000
600 indemnity of which Mr.. Phelps
writes. Now, is,there any resemblance
between the course Of England in re-
spect of the Confederate cruisers and
the conduct of the United States in
respect Of expeditions from her ports
to aid the Cubaas2 The vessels OF the
American revenue service and navy,
and the officers of the government,
from the President down, have been
engaged, strenuously and in good faith,
at an expense Of several million dol
lars annually, in enforcing the neutral
ity laws and its treaty obligations in
the case of Spain. SPANS agents, also,
have watched American ports for signs
OF suspicious craft destined for Cuba,
and upon every suggestion of the Span
ish minister that vessel be detained
this government has interposed with
vigor and effect, the insinuations Of Mr..
Phelps to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. In fact, Spain has practically .un-
loaded upon the United States the la
Dor, cost and responsibility of blockad-
ing the Cuban coast. The statistics show
that the United States has made the
bulk Of all the captures Of filibustering
descents on the island. The admins
tration, from the beginning of the in
surrection, has been the faithful friend
and protector Of Spain. No crumb Of
comfort has fallen from it's table for
the insurgents. If it has not exercised
"due diligence" in the performance Of
its duties and obligations to Spain,
some new Interpretation of that phrase
must be devised to bring its case un-
der the precedent established by the
Geneva award, and to yield to Mr..
Phelps the realization of his treason
able suggestion to Spain.

Orange County Politics.

Editor Of Watchman:-O Old Orange county
is always right politically. The voters are
already considering the candidates for
ed.
George W. Lynde OF Williamstown,
prominent business man and q successful
farmer, 10 q candidate on the west side OF
the county; and John B. Pickett. ESQ, Of
Bradford, bright young man and q law
yer OF ability, is candidate on the east
side.
This is as 1t should be, one farmer and
one professional man.
With these two worthy gentlemen in the
senate the interests OF Orange county will
be well cared for and the welfare Of the
state guarded with prudence and fidelity.

For Lieutenant Governor.

From Discrimination to enter the can
vass, and for various other reasons,
none of the farmer gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the lieutenant governor
ship will stand as a candidate for that
Office.
Yielding to the solicitations of many
prominent Republicans in the State,
Hon. Henry d. Holton of Brattleboro
has consented to enter the field for the
second place on the State ticket. DIR.
Holton's name has been frequently
mentioned, and in very compliment
AIRY way, in connection with the office
of lieutenant governor, without any
agency on his part, or self seeking in
any form. Lately, however, the pres
sure brought to bear upon him to enter
the canvass has induced him to give
the matter serious consideration, and,
finally, his consent. The idea 80 COM
monty entertained, that person can
not become candidate Tor Office with
out working up "boom" for himself
is not sustained in this case. His can
didacy is spontaneous one, and has
grown by the generally recognized fact
that, without cant or conventionality,
his nomination would be one eminent
ly fit to be made.
DIR. Holton has been much in public
life as the representative of his town in
the House, and his county in the SEN

they receive the applause Of tn copper
head Journalists, by their evident I'M
truthfulness and cold inhumanity carry
with them their own antiaote.
Mr.. Phelps comedies that interna-
tional law recognizes the sole and rare
exception to the rule in, respect to in
Prevention in the affairs OF foreign
State "that nation may interfere
when, to prevent unjustifiable slaughter
and outrage in another country, it be-
comes absolutely necessary" and adds:
"But this exception, which has very rare
ly been acted on, applies only in extreme
and very clear cases, and has no applica-
ton whatever to this case"
If the facts Of the Cuban situation,
as stated by Senator Proctor and his
fellow witnesses, do not present an
"extreme and very clear case" de-
manding interference for "humanity's
sake" 1t would. be interesting to have
this man Of ice, conjure up condition
OF slaughter and outrage"s so appalling
that he would consider it as coming
under the exception he makes. Pos
sibly he might find in the history of
the heart of darkest Africa a combina-
ton Of human horrors that would fill
the bill, but the parallel of the crime
Spain has committed against humanity
in Cuba does not exist, even in
all the previous blackened record of
Spain herself, or in the story OF the
atrocities Of the "unspeskable Turk, y
hitherto the high-wster mark OF
slaughter and outrage" in nations
nominally civilized. Was it worth
the while for the professor of inter.
national law to make any exception
at all to the rule respecting interven.
ton?
Vermonters can account for Mr.
Phelps cold-bloodedness and his lach
of sympathy for the Cuban insurgents
in their struggle for freedom. His de.
mocracy is of that exquisitely launder.

in the civil war, the sympathetic friend
