THE GOVERNOR QUESTION.
The "Claimsr of Jacob Estey.

BRATTLEBoRo, June 8, 1876.
Editor Rutland Globe AS there is so
much written of late about the "Brattle-
boro" candidates for governor, the question
naturally arises, who are they, and what
Of their reputation ? Some of our news
papers have tried to tell the people all
about it, but the Rutland Herald and the
Record and Farmer have seemed to know
more about them than any one else, and
have put more work than any others into
the business of coloripg, as paid "organs'
cannot afford to be idle. 1t is not to be
expected that editors can see both sides
of the Green Mountains at once, but the
people do expect they will tell the truth at
least a part of the time
Judging from reports, it may be inferred
that Jacob Estey-one of the candidates

father of his country; yet 1t is not known
that he is direct descendant of the noble
patriot, but it has been proved beyond a

qualifications for the Office of governor. Nc

This to the old inhabitants who have

How easily satisfied these hard money
democrats, go called, ore! The Troy
Press says that the Missouri democratic
state convention, of Thursday, was "for
"hsrd money" The convention resolved
as follows: "That we are in favor of o
"repeal of the resumption act of January,
1875; but lnasmuch as the national con-
''yention Of the democratic party is to be
"held within the next thirty days, we deem
AT inexpedlent to adopt any resolutions req
"pecting the currency or finance of the
"country, but refer the same to such con-
"vention, hereby pledging ourselves to
support its PLATFORM" That is to say,
they are opposed to the resumption of
specie payments, but are willing to pocket
their principles if necessary; and, TO show
that THEY don't care much either way, they
eject a dtIegaIlon ID the natIuuaI cUnyeI-
tiol, the m ,jority of whom will support
Gov. Hendricks, who is neither one thing
or the other, for president. This is the
kind Of hard money declarations that
makes democrats happy.
