The FIRsT DHrRIcr The Brattleboro
PhQRir observes: I'VE woaid very much
regret to see this movement against Mr..
Willard succeed. The only charge which
can be urged against MIN is that he mas
held the Othce long enough and some
body else wants it-and sensible men will
not be influenced by such a consideration
alone, even Tor the sake Of rewarding an
old and valiant soldier.
The Montpelier Freeman says We ad-
vocate the reelection Oh Mr. Willard We
believe that three-iourths OF the people Of
the district are Tor him to-day. and that
only by 'eiectioneeriac and the use of arts
known To politicians. can he be defeated
The people whom be- represents, and whose
choice he Is. owe Il 30 themselves to show
that integrity and iaithfulness need no
rotten props OF political appliances. which
upright manhood will not sto0p to use
The Woodstock Standard saws If his
constituents were allowed 70 vote to-day,
without canvassIng and without being in
tuenced, . in accordance with their eonvie-
lions, Mr. Willard would receive an over
majority. There Is not particle
of doubt of il. Col Joyce, of Rutland, who
is likely 10 be the leading and perhaps only
new candidate for the place, is good fellow
and e man of promise. but he cannot hope
to attain TO the position held by Mr.. VIII
lard for many years. However. they will
say this is ''nOne Of our funeral" and in
one sense it is not. We are in frame of
mind to accept the result phiiOsOphieally. jas
we are certain Mr.. Willard will.

When you see man going home a,

When a man receives bill for goods

When man goes home and finds no

When a man promises to take his wife

When a man saves his cigar money to
buy his wife new bonnet and the chill

lnECOm,NG Px: ME MINISTER.

Mr.. Disraeli is arranging for the govern
ment which he must soon organize. IL is
announced tina, reconciliation has been ef-
fected between him and Lords Salisbury AID
/ Carnarwon, who will assist him in consitut-
ing Cabinet. The aid of the former especial
| ly will be very valuable. Lord Salisbury il
] one of the ablest members Of the Conserva-
tive party and is distinguished for his csustic
and biting criticisms la former days he
was frequent writer for the Saturday Re
riev, and be carries the pungent and acrid
style Of ;ha, cynical paper into his public
Discussions. He is an ugly antagonist, and
any leader may we'll be pleased ID have him
for friend rather than an open foe or even
grumbling supporter. HIS quarrel with
Disraeli has been of some years standing.
He was vehemen,ly opposed to The ex,en'iOn
Of the franchise which Disraeli pushed in
1867 and from that time they have no. been
ON terms. II the coming Pemier secures
such statesmen As Salisbury and Derby in
his Cabinet, he will make up strong COM
bination.
At this Gi-iance, however, We cannot see
any particular advantage that the industrial
classes of England will derive from the over
throw Of Gladstone and the promotion OF
Disraeli. The Conservatives have carried
the elections by majority that indicates in
tense desire for q new Leadership, ard in &C.
cordance with time honored custom, Mr.
Gladstone will retire with the best grace
possible under the circumstances.
Mr.. Disraeli lie man OF scholastic ac-
complishments, fine writer, an effective
speaker, and withal, clever organizer. He
is not an aris,ocra, by birth, but an aristocrat
by training. He has used the gift Of genius
to Aat:er ard please the aris,ocracy, and
while those of "higher birth" at first were
inclined to pass him without recognition or
reward, they found after time that Their
was go much ;n' his adulation to please, and
90 much in hi ability to use, that a social
recognition could be made without disadvan-
tage to the upper-classes, and hence Mr..
Disraeli was permitted TO enter the elite Of
London society. In our opinion ''Lothair"
il his greatest literary achievement, and
while We confess TO pleasure in the perusal
Of it's pages, because of the Information il
imparis of London high-life, we nevertheless
believe that the book was written as Vol
untary offering at the shrine Of aristocracy.

in the effort TO make these laws failures"
Without stopping to get up an argument
with our temperance co-lsborer of the Inde-
pendent, We would like TO ask him how it
happens that the influence Of a few liquor
sellers in each town is worth more 10 the
