What ale the reasons urged for the
change? Simply local claims and
custom of service. Precisely how the
local prosperity of Rutland county will
be increased by the election of Rut-
land man TO the Office of Member of
Congress, we are not told. Certainly
no charge of unjust discrimination in
favor of Washington rs against Rutland
County has been preferred sgainst Mr..
Willard and we think none can he. Mr..
Willard is just as truly and faithfully
the representative of Rutland as any
other county in his District. The Gus
tomary length of terms of service is
not, and cannot he, fully determined
as no rule has been established. 1t has
varied from one TO six terms. Mr. Nal
larry served part of his sixth term ,
Governor Slade, six full terms Hiland
Hall, five; Martin Chittenden, five ;
2 rof. Meacham's actual service was
about seven years, though, at the time
of his death he had been nominated
for another term. So that argument
lacks one element of power. Its logic
is well enough but the premises are
false.
We do not assume to be a champion
of Mr.. Willard. We have not even
been invited to speak n word for him or
aid him in any way. But we feel that
the unbiased judgment of Addison
County is, that the public interests will
be subserved by returning Mr.. Willard
at this time and that this Judgment
is based upon the reasons we have here
given. So in giving utterance TO these
views we have only voiced prevail
ing public sentiment upon this subject.
We have only one word moro. The
preferences OF the people should pre-
vail. No tricks or Misrepresentation
should be allowed to I've used TO defeat
the wishes of the people. II Mr.. Will
ard is their choice let him he returned.
If Col. Joyce, let an expression to that
effect find its legitimate utterance.
With such fair expression in the
nomination of either candidate we
should be content.

man as Mr.. Lucia,
lie says "why the Temperance party
should want to put two candidaIs in the
field, cannot see" We DO not claim
Mr.. Chapman as Radical Temperance
man nominated 10y the Republican party
and therefore cannot dictate who shall
vote for him, no more than Mr. Lucia
did two years ago The Radicals not
being satisfied with the action of the
convention put Mr.. Lucia forward as
their candidate therefore he has no claim
on the convention or Republican party.

about seventy present and they organized

is not to be supposed these ten men were
to have such an influence over the seventy

but ANYTHING for an excuse when they are
fairly beaten.
Mr. Radical asks WAS there not a
good square vote with very decided
lna iority in favor OF indefinitely postpon-
ing the nomination of States Attorney p
for the reason that large number of Mr..
Chapman's friends voted in favor Vt that
