LIE cENTENNIAL rouRTH.

The world has long recognized the
propriety Of making the anniversaries Of
great events memorable by suitable OBJ
seryances and celebrations. The 4th Of
July, l776, having witnessed the birth
Of the great American republic, the an
niversary Of that day has ever been eel
ebrated BY the American people. One
hundred years have left their record Of
prosperity, growth and blessings, and on
July 4, 1876, the vast nation is invited
by public proclamation 10 meet in one
grand celebration, which shall be wor-
thy the hundredth year Of national life,
and the descendants Of the patriots Of
the times that tried mems souls" The
heroes Of the revolution are dead, and
only here and there remain any who liv-
ed one hundred years ago their sons
and daughters. also, have nearly all pass
Ell away. but their descendants remain,
and the patriotic blood that coursed their
veins. now warns and inspires the hearts
Of the millions Of the nation. The sons
and daughters Of the old heroes. and the
many who have come 10 our shores L

THE OFFICE SEEKING DEACON.

The longer the canvas continues, the
more apparent it becomes that Jacob
Estey is infatuated with the mistaken
idea that he is worthy of being governor
of Vermont. When the mention of his
name was first made, we supposed that
somebody outside Of Brattleboro had
suggested his fitness for the place, and
having known Mr.. Estey as pleasant
gentleman, of reputed honesty, we felt !
that there were no serious objection TO
him; but since that time many things
have come to our knowledge that have
completely sickened us in regard to this
candidate. Some of these things may
be stated in brief Mr.. Estey is Hitter
ate, lacking. it is said, education
to spell correctly, word, or suitably frame
bill for the legislature it is not to be
supposed that he has the necessary
knowledge or ability to decide on the
constitutionality of such bills as will
come before him for approval. He has
allowed, if he has not employed, set
of creatures to go about the State in his
behalf that are only fit to run the poll
ties Of a dirty ward in New York, one
Of them at least has been trained in
Just such school. Furthermore there
must be some secret influence, other than
purity Of purpose. that has caused GER
tain newspapers, and certain parties to
labor so extremely hard in lis behalf.
1t is reported by those whose word is
not to be doubted that money has been
offered to be used IN securing Estey del
egates in Orleans county-this influence
having extended as far north as the
northern tier of towns. We don't want
a man who will permit the use of mon
ey, or will allow lot of "bummers" Il
60 about the State in his behalf.
While it has been surmIsed that SOM
behind-the-curtain cOnjuring has beer
done for COL j. B. Meade, it has no
been said of him that he has used O
caused to be used any money in his be
half, and we believe his course has bee
far more honorable in this matter thal
that of Mr.. Estey.
. Much as many of the sterling quail
ties Of Mr.. Meade commend him, we ar
inclined TO believe that Gov. Peck is tn
best and most suitable candidate mo-
y in the field.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1876-06-26

Columbus specials say that when the
news of the nomination became known
the scene in the streets was almast I'M
PARALLEL in enthusiasm. Gov. Hayes
received the news at his office with qui-
ct dignity. Not ten minutes elapsed be-
fore cOngratulatOry messages began to
come in from all parts of the country,
the first being from Mr.. Blaine. Sen
ators Morton and Conkling and other
candidates with President Grant also al
so rendered their hearty congratulations.
That evening large crowds of people as
sembled in the State House square. Gov.
Hayes appeared and gracefully thanked
the audience for the high compliments
paid him.

HOW THE RIVALS GREETED

Immediately upon hearing of Cover

"WAsHINGToN, June l6. 1876.

tions on your nomination. 1t will be

vICToRIoUs IN DEFEAT.

If Mr.. Blaine did not receive the $40
votes necessary to secure his nomination,
he is the acknowledged victor in the
great fight. He was able to poll nearly
three times as many votes as any of his
opponents, and came very near winning
on the last ballot, when the combined
strength Of all his rivals together with
the local preference toward Hayes we're
concentrated on the Ohio candidate. On
the one side in the unequal contest was
James G.. Blaine on the other side
we're, all his political rivals, all the per-
sonal friends Of Governor Hayes, the
secret and powerful influence of the ad-
ministration, and the jealous feeling ex-
listing toward New England by the West
and South. To add to all this was the
fact that New England was divided,
in some instances hostile to Mr.. Blaine
success; at Washington this outspoken,
patriotic and courageous republican lead.
err was on trial before committee Of
democrats for alleged crimes or misde
meanOrs in his official capacity; anC
more sad than all, the unfortunate mar
was lying I'll at his home in Washington
from the effects Of dangerous sun strOk'
or other more fatal disease. 1t was
defeat Of which any man would hav
reason to be proud. and Mr.. Blaine j
much more admired and beloved to-day
than the victorious Hayes.
