The Vergennes Vermonter says "We
must have honest men in office. We can
afford to discard the mere politician and
office seeker and take men of known integ-
rity only for positions of trust and respon-
slbillty."
The Newport Ezpess and Standard
says: ''Grsntism is deader than ever since
Belknaps fall, and for similar reason
Bristow, as representing an administration
opposed to corruption has, strong friends. Il
The Montpelier Freeman says; "One
thing is sure, the republican party can now
nominate at Cincinnati, with hope of sue
cess, no man unless he is one who, like
BIistow, stands himself an exemplar of
honest government aud unchallenged per-
sonal integrity. A nomination procured
by office holding machinery will be the
forerunncr of defeat in November"
The Burlington Clipper in an editorial,
"Bristow for President" says: "Let us
hand over Our colors to Bristow, clear our
ranks of pirates and plunderers, letting
no guilty man escape, and the re-
publican party will easily rout the de-
mocracy in November, but we can win
only under a leader like Bristow, man

law school. In 1888 he was admitted to
the bar. He then returned to his home in
Vermont, stayed till fall, and then, Sep
TENDER, 1888, started out tor new field of
labor. He visited Troy, Albany, New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Columbus,
and finally settled in Cincinnati, where he
has resided till now. He has continued in
full practice at the bar during the whole
period, with the exception of six years,
which he served on the bench. He has
never mingled much in politics, his most

Secretary of War Taft.

To the people of Cincinnati, Judge Taft
needs no introduction, says the Enquirer
of that city: For those who do not know
the man brief descriptive sketch may be
of interest. He is of straightout New
England puritan stock, and was born in
Townshend, Vermont, November 5, 1910.
His father was q man of much native
force, who filled several terms in the state
legislature. He was well informed, but
an uneducated man, and his son Alphonso
inherited his fathers mental keenness,
with an added desire for the advanced
branches Of learning. lie is accordingly

labors could be spared from the farm, in
order that he might accumulate the means
with which to give himself collegiate
education. When nineteen he entered the
Freshman class IN Yale college, passed
through the full course of four years, and
graduated with honor. After graduation
he taught high school at Ellington, Con-
necticut, for two years, and subsequently
for two years filled the position of tutor in
Yale college, his Alma Mater. In addition
to his duties as tutor Mr. Taft studied in
the law school, and was admitted to the bar
in 1888, being then twenty eight years
old. In 1889 he removed to Cincinnati,
entered into the practice of his profession,
and in 184l returned to Massachusetts fol
wife, whom he brought back to his
Queen City home. From that time Mr.
Tafts record becomes that Of pains.

May we be permitted to inquire, how, If
Eustis was out Of the way ''this long vexed
" question of a senator from Louisiana
" might be settled by the appointment OF
"a senator by Governor Kellogg" Sena-
tor Edmunds, pretty good authority, says
that Kellogg is not, and never has been,
governor of Louisiana. He could not,
then, very well make valid appointment
of senator, could he? Moreover, the action
of the senate declares that Pinchback was
not, and never has been, senator from
Louisiana. The vacancy is not for an un'
expired term, but there never has been
senator for the full term commencing
March 4, 1878. If the constitution of the
United States is of any binding force, Il
the action of the senate in the case of Judge
Phelps, claiming to be senator from thi'
state, means anything, Kellogg, If he was

by Pinchback. Only the legislature cal

FAILURE OF INVESTIGATIONS.

The manner In which political investi-
cations are conducted in this country
makes perfect farce of them. The OBJ
iect aimed at seems to be, the manufacture
of political capital, not the punishment OF
wrong doors. II the desire was simply to
unearth rascality, make sensation, and
undermine confidence in the official virtue
of all men, they may be called successful.
If, however, the object, as many vainly be-
lieve, is to expose corruption to the end
that the public service may be purified and
rascality punished, then, as we have said,
the whole proceedings are farclcal in the
extreme.

General Putnam's Boys and Girls

Editor Rutland Globe General Israel
Putnam ranked next to Gen. Washington.
Our nation never had drawer or more
loyal son than "Old Put" We do not
wonder, therefore, that large number of
his descendants were agitated by a verbal
error in q recent Boston paper, by which
thcy were thrown out of the family circle.
That agitation came to the surface in the
communication of "Pronepos" in THE

We hasten to correct the Objectionable
statement, and thus assure our anxious
relatives in Vermont descendants of Gen.
Putnam) that there IS no Intention of ex-
Guiding them from any right or share IN
the name and fame of the "old hero of '7G."
Instead of saying that ''Mr. Lewis Pat
nam Gleason is grandson of the only
daughter of General Israel Putnam" it
should have said "a grandson of one of
the daughters" Molly. Gen. Putnam had
five daughters and five sons, viz:

TIE BANKRUPT LAW.

AT a large and earnest meeting of the
merchants and others, held at Portland,
Me-, on Tuesday, the leading firms were
Hberally represented. Earnest and able
speeches were made against the repeal OF
the bankrupt law, but in favor of amend
ment and improvement of the present law.
A petition, whose signatures include many
of our wealthy merchants of New York has
been sent to Washington urging the amend
ment rather than the repeal of the bank
rupt act. The necessity for many import
tant changes ia the law, rs claimed by
these signers, is shown, and serves to ex-
plain the circumstance that many of them
had previously put their names to petit
ton for repeal.
PROBABLE STRIKE AMONG PRINTERS.
There is every indication of quite a

newspapers and printing offices in New
York and the printers Union. 1t is stated
that employers are bound to carry re-
ducton of the scale Of prices into effect
while the union is fully as determined that
the scale shall be maintained as it has ex-
listed for some time past. One daily morn
ing paper has engaged fifty non-union men
to begin work next week. Other employ
ers think of following suit should the
union order strike. There is great ex.
element among employers and members
of the union, in view of the impending con
| flcis.
