An exciting incident occurred at the
lolonial Danes address by Judge Stafford :
D Representatives hall last evening. !
uoge Stafford's theme was Vermont's
srly history, and ii was an eloquent
fort, well received. In congratulating q
'ermont on escaping control by the !.
anadian French, he alluded to the latter
: people ruled by priests. After the
lose OF the address, FIR. O'Sullivan OF +
lontpelier took the rostrum and in a g.
nave and courteous manner, began what Il
as evidently to be a protest against the
mark OF the Judges. Gov. Stickney,
no presided, interrupted him, claiming
lat he had not given FIR. O'Sullivan the ii
rivilege OF speaking and that he should
x the consent of the sssemblage before r.
-oceedipg. The people applsuded so
gorously that FIR. O'Sullivan was vir.
ally silenced and could not get further W
airing. The meeting broke up in cou- Ct
sion. The general opinion was that in
ldge Stafford made bad break in drag re
ng areligiousreference intohis discourse; dc
at FIR. O'Sullivan was equally at fault in O.
sking TO rebnke him publicly; that Gov. wi
lckney was unnecessarily harsh in tn
utting him off; and that many present do
lde lamentahle display of intolerance sts
d bigotry. The address was followed Hs
very largely attended reception given
Mrs. Stiekney, Mrs. Allen and the
YES OF half dozen ex-governors. Then
sued ball at the Armory. SIN
