cLEMENTIN TROUBLE.

Those who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones.n
Mr. Clement has given, as the chief
reason TOR his bolt, the alleged improp-
cruise of money by or tor Mccullough,
in the pre-convention canvass. lie
has published atiidavits of persons who
admit that they were paid to vote Tor
Mccullough in the caucuses.
Some OF these signed statements
have lately been revoked by the per-
sons who made them; others still
stand. Some of the original signers
admit that they were paid for making
the false statements by emissaries of
Clement.
Now come, from several different
towns, atfidavits OF voters who say
that they were induced to vote for
Clement in the caucuses by a money
consideration. From the town OF
Orange comes q definite sworn state
ment, corroborated by witnesses, that
one Harlow smith, OF Montpelier, a
Clement worker, came to Orange and
not only bought votes for Clement,
but approached a man who was listed
as a candidate Tor Mccullough dele
gate before the caucus, and tried to
brihe him into allowing himself to be
elected as a Mccullough man. and then
voting for Clement in the convention.
OF course Smith denies these stories,
but they seem to be pretty well backed
up by proof; much better anyway.
than most Of the stories about the pur-
chase Of votes for Mccullough. Glenn
ent washes his hands OF any compile
ity in the doings OF Smith, though
it is admitted that smith had some
Clement money to spend We believe
Mr.. Clement bUt there is just as much
reason for believing Gen. Mccullough,
who makes an equally square denial Of
yo,e-buying
The truth is, that in the desperate
pre-conyention tight, things were done
by Jealous and INSCRIPTIONS partisans
of all the candidates that were mn
known to them, were not approved by
them. and for which il is not fair to
hold them accountable.
But il they are TO be made response
BE. Mr. Clement win have 10 face
a good many OF the charges him
self that he has brought against Ne
Cullough. He win first have to show
conelusively that these charges against
( his own canvass are untrue before be
can pillory MS chief rival for the same
things.
And while this is being done the peo-
| pie viii be apt to perceive that The
talk OF wholesale bribery is put forth
Z by Clement as a blind. to give him
some sort Of excuse tor his wholly in
1 eXeusabIe course of political rapine.
