Our Next Governor.
Edaor ot The Register:

Edaor 4t The Register:
1t may appear to many early to thus
agtatc the question who shall be our next
Governor. To me it seems best to agi.
tate the question and bring to the surface
the one best qualified to fill the position
to the satisfaction Of the people Of Yer.
mont. We have formerly selected, to a
great extent, from the professions and not
from the people
The farmers and mechanics constitute
three-fourths OF our voting population
and pay three fourths of the taxes. They
are the rank aud file Of the Republican
party of our Green Mountain State !;
hence equality, equity and justice de.
mand that they should, at least OCCASION
ally, present man for the consideration
of the freemen of Vermont. In doing
so we should represent as large MAORI.
ty as possible Of their interests, keeping
in sight ability and political honesty in
our selection, as it is possible to find in
any one man.
In presenting the name of the Hon.
Nathan 7. Sprague, of Brandon, feel
that do not present the name Of strap-
ger to you. Mr.. Sprague has always re-
fused political honors until he was nomi-
mated for Senator for Rutland County in
1872. He was elected and served US
faithfully in the Senate. His vote was
ever recorded for the right, and no Sena.
tor left better record at the close of the
session.
Mr.. Sprague is widely known as bus.
mess man of sterling integrity. For sew
eral years past he has taken rank with
the first business men 10 our State. and
among hundreds with whom he has had
deal. not only in Vermont but 10 several
Of the adjacent States. there is MT per.
SOD who can recall to mind a transaction
beneath that Of gentleman. Generosi.
ty and neutrality-suspicious. and integrity
aud indomitable energy and perseverance
are prominent traits in his character
Mr.. Sprague is very intelligent man
His general information is extensive, h'
is well posted in relation to our State anC
national affairs and the political aspects
Of our country, and he has au even wei
balanced mind, sound discriminating
judgment, and seems to possess almost al
intuitive knowledge Of men and things il
general. He is easy in his manners, gen
tlemanly in appearance, and his socia
qualities render him the life aud ANNA
ton Of the circle Of acquaintance il
which he moves.
Mr.. Sprague is President Of the FRS

Ward Beccher, and is csgcrly rcaf alike

distinguished divine. The subject of the

central sentiment Of the New Testament

value may be guessed irou, the fact that

ufacturng the well known Howe Scales,
the largest and most enterprising manu-
featuring enterprise in Western Vermont
lie is also President Of the Farmers ond
Mechanics Club Of Brandon one Of the
oldest and strongest organizations Of its
kind in New Euglaud. The members
meet weekly, and their interesting and
able discussions are sure indication that
they have a fine, well selected library con.
nectcd with the organization. Mr.. Sprague
is farmer. He has two or three farms
adjacent to Brandon village, where he
spends his leisure hours in bringing worn
out and waste flats of land back to their
virgin condition. His farm house, the
arrangements of his out.buildings, his fine
stock of cattle, horses and sheep, and his
extensive and highly cultivated fields
waving with a rich harvest, all bespeak
the enterprise, the correct taste, skill and
judgment Of their proprietor. Under his
supervision every branch of business APP
pears to prosper, moves forward with the
order and regularity Of clock work.
Mr.. Spraguc resides in modest. rctir.
ing community. Brandon is one of the
largest and wealthiest towns in the State,
and yet from the first organization Of our
government down to the present time she
has never asked or received any political
honors, while they have been conferred
upon other large towns without stint
Middlebury has had two Governors and
one Lieutenant Governor. Rutland has
had three Governors and one Lieutenant
Governor, and the old saying is, Ben
nington is the town for Governors, a,
she has had four Governors and one Lieu
tenant Governor Also various othel
towns in Western Vermont have beer
honored with Governor, Members of Con
gress, Judges of the Supreme Court, &c
Mr.. Sprague is in the prime Of life, il

the midst Of his usefulness, a friend t,
the laboring man, friend to all. II

pressed by their representatives, an,
could not be unduly Influenced by corpo
rations contrary to the right He is, il
fact, heart and soul one Of the people
and takes pride in being so considered
His nomination for Governor of our Stat
at our next State Convention would be Al
honor to our State and credit to tn
class from which he sprung.

Rev. l.. III. stone in Cornwall

Editor Of the Register:
| understand that there is rumor in
circulation that the Rev. L. II. Stone
while in Cornwall last winter, represented
himself to be the general agent of the
Vermont State Temperance Society at
that time, and collected money for that
society as its agent.
Now justice to Mr.. Stone demands that
this rumor should be contradicted. can
cheerfully say to all whom it may concern,
that | was with Mr.. Stone the most Of
the time while he was in town, and | do
not remember Of his ever saying one word
to lead any person to believe he was the
State agent Tor that year, but remember
of his telling several persons that he was
not the agent for 1873 but was for the
year previous.
Now whoever is the author Of this ru.
NOR is guilty of misrepresentation, to say
the least, or has evidently been made TO
believe that which is not true.
