The Brandon Union has the moral
COURAGE to editoiially % pose the NOM
nation of Licutenant-Govern Taft
for the Office of Governor, on moral
grounds, which ought to he sufficient
To entitle tic etitor to CanoniZation, a.
q hero If not a saint. Under his second
head lie says. "IIis habits are reputed
TO lie such as we should not like to sec
IN a Governor. This Is Il delicate sui
ieot, Iut Tie People have right to
know the character of their servants,
and we learn of him from his personal
friends"
The reports from other sources are
are also painfully suggestive TO men
WHO are in earnest upon the matter OF
pressing forward the temperance re
form, Now these reports are either
true or false. If true, they ought TO be
sufficient TO spoil his chances. If false,
they should be denied. The character
and record of each of the candidates
should be carefully scrutipized.
Our ideal of candidate for any and
every position of honor and trust, is one
who is clean in every respect, or at
least in so far rs he holds relations to
the public. The habits of man are
part of him, We may preach temper
ance and morality we may eulogize
virtue and condemn vice in the hb-
stract ; we may lie active and earnest
in all organized efforts for moral reform ;
but it, Mt the same time, we put for
ward and support for high positions
those who ombody the principles we
condemn, we neutralize all our good
ishu speeches, and cast the balance OF
our influence in favor of intemperance
and immortality. We virtually inform
the young men that we didn't mean
anything when we talked temperance ;
were only paying our compliments 10
morality; that success by whatever
means obtained is the highest virtue ;
that il sounds well TO talk in favor of
honesty, Temperance and morality, but
they are really, meaningless terms.
Suppose we do solemnly repeat the
adagc BE viriuous and you will be
happy" and then put forward as ex-
amples of success in life, men who hard
~ represent thn idon of morality
what specimen of Young America"
Will fail to comprehend the fact that
virtue does not insure success, even If
ii does command respect?
We ought to demand of our candi-
dates uncomrronIisng integrity and
correctness OF life, to supplement- sound
Judgment and high culture.
The convention meets tomorrow.
The result is far from being determined
yet. some candidate not yet named
may carry off the honors. There is
certainly Il widespread feeling that
neither Of the three prominent candi-
dates are exactly satisfactory. AS near
as we can learn. the feeling of the Addi-
son County delegation is to hold them
selves ready to take advantage of any
break which may possibly offer an op-
portunity to present II candidate OF
their own.

from this place, mentioned in connection

it strikes me the right man has not yet
been suggested for that Office. Henry c.
Hunt, Of New Haven, whom we all know
to be very fine man, conscientious in all
his dealings--no person has ever had &C.
casion to say aught against him is pos
sessed Of excellent business qualities, has
had large experience in the business mat
tiers Of his own town, and is well-knowr
throughout the county as being qualified
to discharge the duties of any Office which
his fellow citizens may see fit to offer him
And if Mr.. Hunt will allow himself to b,
considered candidate for the Office o
Assistant Judge, we are sure that there
will not be dissenting voice, and with
others we can say, from our long &C
quaintance with him, he will discharge
the duties of the Office with credit to him
