From the Montpelier Waterman:
As to Governor-provided change Is TO
be made-none of the names mentioned by
the Free Press would bring discredit upon
the State. Were the old custom to be re-
vived, of bestowing the office as graceful
crown to long life of faithful and accepta-
BILE public service, the lot might most ap-
propriately fall upon Mr.. Converse. But
in later years our State has adopted the
practice of calling TO its executive chair
men in the prime and vigor of manhood,
in active sympathy with the spirit and
progress of the times, and fully equal TO
any emergency which might arise. No
State during or since the war has shown a
prouder record in this behalf, Horace
Fairbanks would fully meet this demand,
and when the time shall come the people
of Vermont will not be slow to call him to
the chair once so creditably filled by his hon
ored father. But that time is probably not
yet. Most heartily, therefore, do we en-
| dorse the suggestion OF Hon. FREDERICK
