WHAT VERMONT ERS WANT,
And Wlint They 1 in,l iu Col. U. A. Wood
bury.
To the Editor of tho Free Press:
Ordinarily I have not taken groat interest
in Stnto politics, because I havo felt that
almost any selection from tho hundreds of
good nnd capable mon in our party would
bo satisfactory, but 1 havo become tired of
machine rule. I ho party must havo or
gauizatiou and workers, but thoy nro tho
servants of tho parly, to promoto its wel
fare, not to gratify their own ambition, A
recent business trip through tho State lias
satisfied mo that Pago has been boomed for
tho position of governor by tho samo
methods thnt our Western and Southern
friends boom a now town. Tho most extra
vagant claims havo been mado iu his favor,
and tho most outrngeous charges have been
made against Col. Woodbury, but the in
teresting feiituro of my observation was that
tho people understand tho matter thorough
ly, and condemn tho Pago cnnvnss in un
measured terms. I hnvo found only three
classes supporting him ; thoso committed
long before any other candidate was
tulkod of, thoso hired to conduct tho
canvass, and thoso who hnvo been
dupod by fluttering letters or fnlso state
ments. On tho other hand I was surprised
to find in localities that hnvo boen claiinod
ns solid for Page, the best citieus, profes
sional men, merchants, manufacturers,
mechanica and farmers thoroughly inter
ested for Col. Woodbury, although they
had never boen approached by a person in
his interest nud with slight or no acquaint
ance with tho mnu. Tho people of tho
Stato are coming more and moro to bo sat
isfied that they want a luau who does not
ndvcrtlso himself as ho does his business,
ono who does not glut tho mail with "con
fidential" letters, ono who does not find it
necessary to secure "four or fivo good
men" to support him in every little hnmlot.
They want a patriotic man who under
stands the Interests of the Stato und has tho
courngo to stand by thorn; n man whoso
lifo nnd history hnvo proved him worthy of
tho trust and thoy are sntisllod that in Col.
Woodbury thoy havo such a man.

Assiirmioo that It will Itncomo ono of tlio
IVlitlll'Oh of Iho UrKlllloy Mill.
The members of tho Vermont delegation
hnvo received dcilnltn assurance from mem
bers of the Senate committoo on finance that
if tho bounty feature is retained in tlio tnrilf
bill as reported to the Senate that mnplo
sugar will bo included. Senators human. Is
nnd Morrill nro both heartily in favor of tho
proposition and thoir inlluncu 1ms boon felt
strongly in tho matter. Gen, Grout, who
has boen confined to his room for nenrly a
month, went to tho capitol Monday for ths
first timo sinco his illuoss und took ocensiou
to seo each member of tho republican
majority of tho committee. He
found after stating the arguments
of tho Vermont sugar raKers thnt
wdth n single exception it would favor
giving a bounty on maple sugar in
nny event, provided, of course, tho
bounty feature is retained at nil.
Senator Allison, it is thought, Is some
what inclined to including simply beotsugnr
as an uudevoloped industry, but if the com
mittee concludo to give n bounty to cano
sugar ho would favor putting mnplo sugar
on the samo footing, if tho proportion
goes through the Senate committee, there is
no question but that it will bo incorporated
iu the bill on its final passage, as there is no
opposition to it on the part of tho House
committee, the clause having been omit
ted inadvertently iu tho hurry of tho
change tho uight before the bill wont into

We, democrats of Vermont, in convention
assembled, renew their nlleslante to thoso
time-honored principles for which Undemo
cratic party has Htooil sinco tho foundation of
our constitutional government.
Wu bclievo in local self-control, in a govern
ment by, tor and of the people, in a tariff for
rewntie-, suited only to tho actual needs of a
government economically administered and
wo condemn all enactments that conflict with
the per-onal liberty, rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, all paternal legislation, and nil
centralisation of power by tho federal Kovern
menl. lloldini; thece precious piiuclples, be
it re'olveil by that.
Though a temporary defeat was sutained
in the last national campaign, w'o reloice to
lind our party more unitod, more courageous,
moro earnost, than ever before and fully de

While we condemn all kinds of fraud at the
ballot btix, wherever committed, we oppose
thupiopiwd ledoral election lawns tinpist
contrary to the spirit of the Constitution ut
terly incapable of nivomplishkis; the reforms
claimed for it, nnd prom ted only by a -pint

that tho political parly w uii u secured the
presi'iinl to aid by a proclamation, its miser
able, purpose of seating two senators from
Montann, contrary tit the will of tho people,
has no ru;ht to claim a desiro for honesty or
purity in elections.
We realllrm our former declarations for tar

of Ire" raw materials lor our manufacturer.

THE NATION'S LAW MAKERS.
The Work nf tho Senoto and Houso of
neprosonlutlvos During tho Wook.
Tbrco mombors of tho House Friday nt tho
decoration ceremonies uttered eloquent pro
tests against tho iusult to the national ensign
nt Richmond. They wero Messrs. Boutello
of Maino, Mason of Illinois and Morso of
Massachusetts. Mr. Mason said:
"I would bo false to tho memory of my
brothor who foil at Gettysburg and many
othor bravo men who were shot down by
rebel bullets If I did not protest against
tlio acts of tho30 who flaunt tho flag of
secession in tho fncos of tho Boys in Blue.
When n man waves nny othor than tho
stars nnd stripes ho is in hit heart as much
u traitor as ho was 30 years ago."
Capt. Boutelle provoked tremendom
cheers when ho declared that ox-confederates
who displayed the rebel flag to glorify
it were not true to tho parolo at Appomat
tox. Mr. Morso said:
"In what other country woro traitors
over allowed to erect monuments to per
petuate and glorify treason and traitors.
Wo may forgivo the great wrong which
shed rivers of blood, filled the land with
widows and orphans nud cost billions of
money; but lot my right hand forget itsv
cunning nnd my tongue cleave to tho roof
my mouth when I make patriots nnd trait
ors equal, or when I foil to discern between
tho loyal soldiers who periled and laid down
their lives in tho defense of thoir country
nnd tho traitors who sought to destroy it."
Tho Houso committeo on foreign affairs
havo decided to report favorably to tho
House tho bill looking to tho participation
of tho United States in tho survey for a

More Despicable Tactic.
IFrom tho Windsor .lourn.d.l
It Is univorially understood that tho friends
of l.ieut.-liov. Woodbury have made up their
ticket with Col. Marsh (). Perkins of v. mdsnr
in tho second place, and under this arrange
ment expect, if they hnve not been promise'L,
substantial support from Windsor county. Wa
might say further that there Is a strong pro.
balnUty mat this county will be called upon
this year to name the lit uteiia..t-governor.
And now, w nnt is Col. l'erkii.s' record -
In l.sl n- represented his town in the Ilo'.se,

na stands the name ot "I'erlv'ns o. Wind

license legislation, and w e do nut reciil th..t
the bill made nny pretentions to h.gj. a cn-e
even. Tuo vote, withonl pievious n.iitein
during tho ranva, was sjniuwtiat start in ij
und opene 1 tlie eyes of tho friends of prot.ibl.
tlon to the necessity of "Lternal vlg lanee."
Wu raise no question regarding Col. Per
kins' consistency in this vote, but consider
ing that tho Rutland Herald is nt tuo huid
of a determined movement to secure this
year a high license law, and considariug the
largo voto givou lor llcoiisa in 184 without
such leadership, do the people of Windsor
county nud of tho Stnto wish to give tint
casting voto in tho i-eunte to a man who
has deliberately put himself on record in
favor of license legislation and freo rum ?
Tho foregoing appeared in the Wood
stock Standard last week, and is nlmo?t
too contemptible in spirit to receive atten
tion. Steeped in venom, its animus is too
apparent to demaud notice. Had ii con
fined itself to tho covert allusions, aud p.n
ty insinuations relntivo to tho editor ol the
Journal, no attention would havo beer
paid to it. For 10 years lio has gone be
fore tho public once each week, witu
scarcely any interruption aud bo is porlec'
ly willing to let tho Journal attest to hu
record upon any public question whntJV
er, that has boen under di-eu--5iiiu durin;
that timo. Ho has naver assumed thnt op
position to a gag-rulo placed on record any
man's position upon any public questh ii
Ho most oaruestly hopes he never may,
He leaves that especial prerogative to Ik)
enjoyed by the Standard. As ul ready said,
if tho Standard had confined itself to i'i
personal assumptions, no attention v.ou. 1
haw boon paid to its contemptuous eir n.
But when it attempts to strike nt Col,
Woodbury, and charges by direct as.r
tion, by detestnblo innuendo, or iu any
other way, that, in return for trt
from Windsor county, ho has pledged, or
implied, a ticket mado up with tlio editor
of tho Journal, or any other person in
Windsor county, in second place on that
ticket, we, unqualifiedly and uulhuriutiw
ly deny it. Now cnu tho Standard say tlio
same tor its candidate .' Will it deny, i'l
sober earnestness aud truth, that Mr. i'aga
has written, or approached, directly or in
directly, every available man in tho conn
ty, intimatiug that his ehancos for promo
tion lay in the direction of support for
himself Will it call for tho publication of
somo of tho mauy "confidential" letters
received in tho couuty '! Will it deny that
parties in tho county have been approached
m the interest of Mr. Page with nssurances
direct, or implied, of being well rewarded
for influence nnd labor in his behalf ? Can
the Standard speak authoritatively as to
these things
Of ono thiug it can bo assured, nnd it can
speak authoritatively, that wo hnve sup
ported Col. Woodbury without tho hope of
too, or rewind, politically or ntnerwis.0
Although this may seem strong to our es
teemed contemporary, because wo deemed
lilni tho bod. man to occupy tho chair ot
tho chief executive, of tho Stato. Wo shad
continue to do so, and confidently expect
to seo him tlio nominee of tho convention
notwithstanding Iho Standard's opposition.
