RUTLAND, Vr- April ". 1916
1noticed come few weeks since an article III
= County paper over the signature OF Hanlii-

Tss Tribune from its general circulation IN our
ra,nty, District and State partakes much o' 'lie
.,,rscter Of local paper 10 us Vcrmonters'

,t,v words through its medium in relation to

.t,,saee to this correspondent of the Herald
Imust be apparent, think, to every ardent and
s,oted vermont Wing that 'ur coming Fall
rbctlons are to be not only highly exciting and
,ts,esting, but that principles are pending upon
Il, result of those Elections Of the most citat I'M
,tance to the interests of Vermont and her
.oo, These principles are not TO uS of iorelgn
n,otation. If they were not torn here, they
rs,e at least here nurtured in their infancy, fos-
,ed in their youth, and from here sent forth for
1s spprobation Of our common country. These
,sss1res Of policy were approved OF and they
-unuphed most glorously triumphed, and but
h the interposng hand OF Divine Providence,
nd the base treachery of political Judas we
Sould long since have rcapcd the fruits OF those
neasures in an abundant harvest. And now,
vben those principles have by the Radicals and
boobns OF other States been tramplcd under
eot, and the waves Of Loco Foco corruption
lave for time submerged theIn-and when the
ymrit of those principles has dixie the dove TO
be ark returned to her Green Mountain home,
b again inyigorate herself by breathing the pure
gr Of her native land and to receive anew the
1provng sanction Of her freemen-l say, shall
abe proved that tins returning, she found us
z.e only ready to do the honors of her funeral
csseuucs In the name Of Patriotism let tins
at be said let no page of our Political History
spoluted by such disgrace; let no man ever
plnt to the valley in Vermont and say 'Iherc
aey buried hers" and let not the pure air or
he free winds that sweep around our beloved
Ills wall her requiem. Rather LET us, as we have
kiore when she has returned TO us bruised and
sa,en, bind up her 1rOnnds; and, placing again
non her brow wreath of victory formed ot
,m olun evergreen, send her forth again con
quering and to conquer Thcn will she return
70 US with laurcls freshly gathered, and her re-
turning presence will bring JOY and gladncss to
our land.
In view, then, of the Importance of SUSTAINING
the principles of the Wing party at this time, can
TOO much caution be used IN the selection OF men
as candidates for office TO carry out those prln-
ciples and is it not time that this matter should
be brought to the serious consideration of the
people? The Locos have already shown their
front the rabid Abolilionists theirs also and
now, while the tender c0nScienced leaders of this
nongrcl third party organization have suffered
their hostility to Slavery to take It's annual
Mooze (Which lasts from one Election to another
in order to gain strength that they may the more
effectively cast forth their black uomh at the
next canvass, it seems to me that the subject of
cur nominations should be thus early and duly
considered
The question "Who are we to have as can
ddate for Governor ?'' has become a most I'M
portant one, and one upon which may hang the
fate of the Wing party at the next Election. On
our selection too of a candidate for Congress,
iun this District, much also depends.
agree most cordially in the suggestion OF
Hamilton that while the Wing party in this
