Editor MddleJurv Register:
As the time for holding our District
Convention is near at hand, and delegates
are now being elected, please allow me to
make few suggestions through your pa
per upon the subject Of candidate for
NJ. G. from this district.
am not a a sore head never having
been an applicant for an Office myself,nor
am l the friend of any "sore head" whose
battles | wish to fight.
Prior to the nomination Of Mr.. Will
lard, l entertained very high opinion of
him, and thought he would make very
popular representative but he was no
sooner nominated than he began to show
a want of capacity for the office. His
campaign speeches were puerile and a
great disappointment to his friends; but
as some able men are not good political
speakers, the people felt disposed to sus-
pend their verdict as to Mr.. Wizards
ability until they had given him fair
trial.
His nomination was accidental and un-
expected, even to himself, resulting from
the unfortunate differences of the people
of Rutland county, and he therefore went
into Office free from any obligations to the
politicians of the district; but as soon
as he was nominated his "strikers" began
to throw out that the friends Of one Of
the rejected candidates could expect nc
favors from Mr.. Willard, and from that
time forward he has been apparently
run" by set of political tricksters who
claim the honor of being the first to desert
their friends or sell them out and scream
willard" in the convention. Had Mr.
Willard been high minded, able mamie
would have stunned these men, and in
stead of being solely their representative
would have been the representative of thu
people and treated all fairly instead o
taking 50 much pains to snub large por
ton of his constituents.
His vaccillation with reference to ap
pointments, his uncalled for haste t.
make a speech against the recognition o
the Cuban patriots as beligerents Will
whom the people of the whole country
! heartily sympathized, his unprovoke'
: quarrel with General Banks, and his vot,
against the Northern Pacific railroad bill
in which several Vermonters, including
our much esteemed citizen, Mr.. Wood
bridge, are interested, all show that he i
not the fright man in the right place,
and the general verdict Of the people il
reference to him is against him.
There are men who say, I'VE know
Mr. Willard is weak man, and do no
: approve of his course, but as he has ha'
the Office only one term, perhaps, we ha'
better give him another election, and the
be rid Of him and then, too, this cours
will promote harmony to the party,

In looking over the last will and tesla
ment of the late Mr.. John Bates, former
ly wealthy citizen Of Cincinnati, We find
that he has left one Of his brothers-in-law
q promise of $4,000. The old gentle
man was determined to have his joke, even
at the risk of disappointing the expecta-
tons of friend.

The amount of business done was over $3, ,000,-

to the dullness at the Stock Board and the fall

are comparatively steady.
The gold market is quiet and shows a further
downward tendency, owing to the increase in
cash gold. The sales opened at 113, and after
reaching down to 1895 closed about noon at
