Decoration DaY.

Citizens Of Rutland Fifteen years ago
you were not wanting in patriotism, and
as the young and middle aged men left
their bright, happy homes, dear families
and friends and went forth to battle for
the preservation of our country, you prom
ised them most solemnly to care for their
families, and should they be spared 10
"bring home their shields thankful well
come and enduring honors but IL "upon
their shields honored graves bedecked
with flowers, believed with tears, and a
fitting memorial erected to commemorate
their patriotism, valor and heroic death.
How have you fulfilled that promise The
wives and children have been left TO beg
tricky politicians preferred to more CON-
potent soldiers for public places of honor
and profit and with all our abundant sur
plus Of marble not one stone in
remembrance of those patriots who
bravely served where duty called.
Some fellow soldiers, through their or
ganization, Post Roberts, G. A. r., have
aided many soldiers and their families,
taken care of them through sickness, and
gave them q respectable burial and have
erected more than score Of modest but dur
able headstones to mark the last resting
place of their comrades, and once every year
Decoration day-they provide suitable
music, an orator, carriages, ETC., and in
an impressive and becoming manner honor
the graves and memory of their fallen
comrades.
The whole expense which has not been
small, has been betrayed by members OF
Post Roberts, a majority of whom are me-
chanics and laboring men. There is ore
notable exception, and all honor to him, who
has voluntarily without even the asking,
given several hundred dollars at different
times to help defray expenses Of Memorial
| day. Citizens of Rutland it is to your
shame that now more than ten years after
the close Of the war no soldiers monument
| is erected.
Most cities and towns make large appro-
priations every year to properly carry out

the sclectmen or trustees would not feel
authorized to do so in this town. The an.
niversary is near at hand and will you. citi
zens of Rutland, to whom it should be

whole public to commemorate the services
of those who died in defence of our coun

CURRENT VERMONT POLITICS.


"A Changers View OF the 6ltuAtion.
ANDovER, May II, 1875.
Editor Rutland Globe :-As different
people look at subject in different ways,
viewing it from different standpoints, per-
nit me, as practical farmer, to express
a few ideas on the "Governor question"
There appears to be three names promi-
nentlY before the people as candidates for
the governors chair, Broughton d. Harris,
Jacob Estey and John B. Mead. All may
be excellent men, still people will have
their preferences, even in matters Of much
less importance than this.
The first name on the list is one which,
although il may be we'll known among the
politicians of the state, it is not familiar
among the common people. Possessing
the abilities claimed for him by his friends,
he must evidently have exercised them in
some other way than in the interest of the
farmers, else they would have been more
fully recognized.
The name Of Jacob Esty is widely
known throughout the state, its possessoI
standing foremost in the ranks of lay mem
bership in the Baptist church, man with
singular genius for making money and still
rarer ability to dispense it in generous
charities. Both of which peculiarities may
be considered laudable, but neither of which
will strike the ordinary mind as essentia
prerequisites to the office of governor
and / think it may be truthfully asserted
that, he whose business 1t is to manage
capital in go skillful manner that it shal
return to him the largest possible profit
cannot be in close sympathy with him VIII
learns his bread by the sweat of his brow
and this last, is the class whose ballots ar
to elect governor. John b. Mead ha
quietly yet unassumingly risen in the est
nation of the people until his name ha
become not only familiar, but REGARDED
with respect and honor especially anon
the farmers throughout the state, farme
himself, not only In name but in actus
practice, his interests and sympathies ar
with the "tillers of the soil" A man !
the vigor and prime Of life, with energit
and judgment in full play, whose integrit
and ability can neither be questioned nc
surpassed. Others might fill the Office wit
honor to the state and credit to themselve
but none in our opinion would do 1t wit
more honor or more Icredit than tJohn
