EDITOR REGISTER We don't know
who is authority for an article or state
ment which appeared in a recent issue of
the Orwell Citizen regarding Judge Hub
bard's candidacy for assistant Judge, but
we conclude the writer therof has an
acute attack of assumption. He guessed
right, however, in regard to Mr.. Hub
bard's sickness. Judge Hubbard knew
he had been sick, but did not know he
had given any information to the effect
that he intended to retire from Office.
We simply wished to correct the impress
sion conveyed In the article referred to,
which implied that Mr.. Hubbard on ac-
count of III health did not wish re-elec-
tion. He is nearly well again, and so far
as we know there Is a general feeling
favoring his reelection; and if 1t be the
pleasure of his friends and the people to
re-elect him he is ready to serve them as
he has the past two years. VOTER.

Powers's Position.
MIDDLEBURY, VT, May 81, 1900.
Editor of the Register Il should like
space in your columns to say most en-
phatically: % that Judge Powers is
not in the slightest degree responsible
for the unfortunate complications which
have arisen regarding the Middlebury
postmastership; (2) that there was no
trade. agreement or under standing of any
sort between him and Mr.. Calhoun, or
between him and any one else, as to my
successor In the event of my resignation,
and (3) that Judge Powers's position
relative to the matter is now Just Uhat 1t
was when he first learned that there
might be a vacancy-he wants to APP
point as postmaster the man whom the
people of Middlehury desire appointed.
On the 9th of May wrote Judge Pow
ers of my plans to take another place.
told him that | would let the matter
drop for the present if my resignation at
this time would damage his cause. and
informed him that Mr.. Skiff would
probably be candidate for postmaster,
In reply he said

knows what justice and right is, and

The organization of a Democratic
club had been extensively advertised
and the Court House bell rang long

they will attend to voting the people.
