Judge Steele in pushing himself for
ward us IL filter man for Congress than
the present incumbent, with his ripper
wears and longer experience, has excl
ted not ii little comment. And this is
the ''humble publican" of which We
have read in the 7jmcs
What are the grounds on which Judge
Steele rests his claims! Is it superior
natural emdowment>! Neither steele.
nor any one of his friends will have the
temcritv to claim this. Vermont with
all her great men. has produced few
with greater natural powers than Judge
Poland possesses.
Does he rest his claim on experience ,
lie never WAS even member of the state
legislature His own town never did
him the honor 40 invite him To repre-
sent it in the lower House. His county
never honorcd him with IL seat III the
state Senate Whatever the reasons
NAV have been. they did not grow out
of his modc>ty. for when he desired t"
go upon the Bench. he stayed II" per
Somal effort which could secure this end.
/ All his friends were solicited To endorse
] him in some form or other Whatever
the reason may have been. we SAY.
Judge steele never has had any legisla

fitted to serve the public in Congress,
