When the name Of Judge Peck was r..
mentioned as probable candidate for c.
ernor, we announced our estimate of hin,
, language that could not be mistaken ~
our view he was the most capable and baI.
man for Governor Of any man in Vernon.
but at the same time We expressed nrafs,'
ence that he should remain on the bench
a weaker man would do for Governor ~
for Judge of the Supreme Court. W.
have opposed the trickery, fasehood 81
deceit which a portion of the press bara
used in behalf of Governor Peck, and Nc
know that he has 6espised it fully as mucS
as we have. There was but one reason ~
Peck should be Governor, and that Wa
cause he is the best man of all otbers ~.
that branch of the public service, ~.
being about to retire, and it being a ga'J
thing to round off his official life Is ~
reason why he should be Governor
From the Rutland Globs.
The nominations Of Judge Peek T.
Hinckly and Mr.. Page were made una.
nous, and we venture to say that ~:
morning, ninety-nine out Of every bnnJ-al
Republicans of Vermont would not A.
the result if they could. This being 80 y.
should say no more in reference TO the e,,
didates, but custom and prOpriety seem ],
demand that the press should. to some o.,
tent, comment on such matters With 70
erence to Judge Peck, fortunately. We -.
relieved from the necessity of SAVING Az
thing. Being one of the first in the fsil
in his favor, our readers well understanI
our opinion Of him, and how heartily r.
rejoice at his nomination. But aside FINN
that, there is not an intelligent mar, woms-
or child in the State, that is not famjl9-
with Judge Peck's character, ability =.

From the St. Adams Messenger.
A. might have been expected from q.
soberest and best looking Convention ,tt-
ever assembled in Vermont, the n0minaty-
OF Asahel Peck for Governor was an e.sya-
ton of the standard Of our politics. I,
means that whoever desires Office mu>tu s--
it; that honesty, unpurchasable integrity.
and temperance, are the bedrock Of ,lte;r
to which the people Of Vermont in the.
trOublOus times intend to cling; that ma!
est worth shall be found ont, while arrrs.-
sivc self-seeking shall have No following.
and finally, that the people have reDgIatst
the influence and leadership Of the men VI,
have brought the public lie of our grari
old State into dishOnOr, and given IT.

The nomination of the State Conventl1
of the Hon. Asahel Peck, of Jericho. biz
Governor, and Of Hon. L. e. Hin k.r.
Esq. of Chelsea, for Lieut.-Goverulr. 4is
by all tests of public qualifications unel-
Judge Peck : superior afii-.
and private worth have never been .as,-
toned by anybody since the inception O.,
the campaign.
1t was mere matter of personal. trisllv
preference that divided mems vote. a-.
made some vote for Sprague, some IL
Miner, and some for Taft. The cir..a
personal friends that surrounded these rs-.
tlemen asked no other reason for their --,-
port than their desire to do them ho1l-. :.
there was no political issue between d.
warning factions, and the MssHg.-'s>l.-
gestiOn that there was any ring ci1.-
late, sO-called, Is absurd.
