self favors Mr.. Gardner. Mr.. Englesoy,
Mr.. Stewart, and some of the numerous
candidates suggested by the Newsletter,
would doubtless discharge the duties or
the Office in an acceptable and creditable
manner: but it is known to the people
from experience of the man that Mr..
Gardner would, and this is why he is
so "cheerfully accepted" as the Burling-
ton Times hath it, as the coming man"

As to the office of State Treasurer

GEMS to be prudent disposition to re
ain Mr.. Page for the coming year, i
ossible. waltons Journal says
"The Rutland Herald very strongly
lrges the retention of Mr.. Page as
treasurer. We presume nothing will
,e in the way unless it shall be Mr.
'age himself"
The Burlington Free Press says:
1.-THE Treasurership, we trust, will
gain be accepted by Hon. John B. Page
Of Rutland He has heretofore indicat
ed a wish to retire, after this year
I What his intentions may now be in thai
4 regard we are not informed; nor who
if any, are aspirants for the place. Blu
he is a trusty and capable treasurer, eX
perienced in all the details Of the bust
ness of the office, which has increased
so enormously by reason of the war
and whom it will be obviously proper
and expedient to retain during the com
ing year, in which so many questions o
State pay and settlement with our Yer
mont troops must come up for final de
termination. 1t will be time enough tt
take new man when these are settled
and our finances are once more on {
peace footing
The Bennington Banner says:
1--WE trust the State TreasurershiI
will not be removed from the hands it Il
now in, but that its present incumbent
Hon. John B. Page, may be re-nominat
ed. We understand that he has hereto
fore declared his desire to be relieved o
the cares and responsibilities of the
Office the coming term. We hope h,
will so far "amend his motion" as to &C
cept a re- nomination. He has discharg
ed his laborious duties as Treasurer
in an able, satisfactory manner; and i
is eminently proper that he should re
main in the position at least anothe
year, since during that time so mucl
will come up Of affairs pertaining to thu
State pay of our soldiers, with which
he is now so familiar In our view NJ
greater mistake could beTmade than the
putting in of a new man just at thi!
time. There will be ample opportunity
and it will be soon enough to tall
about changing when the finances o
Vermont are back where they were be
. fore the days of rebellion"
