# State who as clerk of the Central Yer

of State, who as clerk of the Central Yer
mont Railroad, may possibly have been in
Rutland and other places trying to fix
things for the accommodation and inter-
est of the people having dealings with the
railroad. But why this sensitive nervous
ness on the part of the Globe about = fixing
things" Is it possible its own candidate
has supposed he had g fixed things for his
own nomination, and if the Convention
was not called before the usual time the
things were fixed" and thus spoil that nice
little game. In no other way can we ac-
count for this unseemly haste to partici-
pate a District Convention upon us on the
eve of State Convention, or when the
farmers will be busy about their haying.
There is a proper time for all things,
brother Globe, and if your candidate, is so
well known by and strong with the people
as YOU claim, he will gain rather than lose
strength by a little time in which his mer-
its may be canvassed and appreciated by
others than himself and his boon compan-
ions. While it is not true that the (" nest
of state officers have travelled about the
District or sought to fix things" in Mr..
Wizards behalf, it Is true that several of
them, and very many prominent citizens of
this section have had personal letters from
or interviews with the Rutland aspirant or
his faithful clansmen, approximately urging
them to " fix things " in the Colonel's own
behalf. The office of Congressman has not
sought Charles II. Joyce, but he has sought
| the office with the keenness of half
starved prairie wolf racing for human
| blood
We assure the Globe there is MT bit of g
cat under this meal of not hurIying up the
Converts n, unless its own candidate has
hid poor grimalkin there in his own inter
ests. There are very good reasons anC
precedents why the Convention should no
be called at this hurrying time. Distric
Conventions have almost invariably, espe
cially so in recent Years, been held but
lew NtthS DCIoI lIit CicClIOU occurred. L III
District Conventions of 1868 and 1870 wer
held i'll August, that of 1872 in October
only week or two before the election
With so large a republican majority as w
have the primaries and the Convention
practically elect the man who shall be on
Congressman. 1t is more important tina
hav tn Ennu- candidates. i -
cuss their merits and fitness before rathe
than after the Convention. Then again
there are indications of seekers for tn
places of our members from the first AM
second districts. Let us wait until thes
Congressman return from their duties a
Washington and render us an account c
their stewardship ere we allow any sell
seeker to rudely Gust them from the place
they have filled to our satisfaction and wit
high credit to their constituents. This
only f,ir-and we trust to hear no NOR
growls from the Globe in its ill-advised at
tempt to forestall public opinion by a sna
Judgment. Possess your soul in great pa
tience dear brother, and YOU shall have a
the opportunity you may desire to go G
the rampage, and tear your uncomfortable
in crusade against Congressman and thu
'nest of state officers" Only pray do n
get too sweaty these hot days The ic
crop may give out-or You may melt ava
with fervent heat. Do mt imagine all me
are tricksters and wire ullers, simply be
cause you are so well acquainted with tn
arts of one who walks abroad under vOr
own hat. The world will stand,-if Mi
Icrism does MT come true,-after you an
we are planted, and Congressman will
elected just the same. Please don't de
pair of the Republic.
