Editor Rutland Globe This being the
year of elections In the state and nation, 1t
will be expected that all citizens will be
interested In the choice of new executive
and legislative officers. Many offices will
doubtless be filled by those whose names
have not yet been mentioned. Many men
are waiting 10 see in their paper the choice
OF the editor and the editor does not wish
reshly to go his whole weight for man
that is likely to be beaten.
1t is, also, necessary to consider that al
though the mass of the people desire
changes, demand honesty and ability, tenn
perancc and morality, yet the history of
conventions may be written captured by
bummcrs."
In this section, the name of Col. John
b. Mead is gaining advocates for governor.
Two years ago, the papers of the state
often mentioned that /! was advisable to
have farmer governor. So Farmer Peck
was chosen. am not sure but it will be
necessary to have a lawyer occasionally, TO
keep things straight. But il some profess
sional men are called farmers, it will not
eeem strange, as we have been fooled that
way before. j. b. Mead has steadily
gained 10 the confidence, and | may say
the affections of the people it would not,
| therefore, be unreasonable 10 expect his
promotion to some place of honor and trust.
| We like Col. Mead.
| For acknowledgement, some man will
probably be chosen from.tbe west side of
the state. For that place +. y. Douglas,
Of Whiting, woul be good man. He has
been before the people of the state, very
much to their acceptance, but among his
many plainly expressed ideas, he holds to
the opinion that there ought to be a school
for the education Of young people, where
| labor is honOred, and where the arts by
which we live are 10 soHe degree taught.
For this heretical doctrine he has been set
aside from public service. Yet the people will
have him to the front again in some way.
In this third congressional district your
paper has always shown an interest such as
a true state paper should. You desire ia
see Vermont well represented, and for tina,
reason the representative from this district
10 watched closely, to ascertain how in him
the state is honored, or in him, the state
disgraced or poorly served.
None better than yourself know the eff
cheney or deficiency Of the service of Rep.
resentative IIendee.
He has had two terms.
The people do not see wherein by pre-
eminent ability he deserves the third term
We propose to elect Hon. L. =. Coltor
of Irasburgh as representative to congress.
from this district. He is, by reputation
knows to you. Whatever promise of men
tai strength he showed IN the legislature al
representative, or by his two years of ser
vice in the senate of Vermont, has beer
more than fulfilled IN his recent public life
From extensive travel, and association
with strong men of the country, he has de
veloped unusual power and takes higi
rank.
He is well known to many in the state
and from several letters from differen
parts of the district, feel sure he is to bt
the man whom the people will delight t
honor. He attends to his business, and i
is done to the hest OF his ability every
time. Third terms are sometimes desir
able, but only in case the service has beef
and is likely to be eminently efficient.
Yours truly,
T. Il. jameson.
