Talk about the GOyernOrShiD.

The papers on the West side are begin
ming to discuss the question of who is to
be governor quite freely. 4 correspondent
Of the Rutland Globe opened the gates by
suggesting the name of Jacob Estry of
Brattlehoro. Whorcupon the GloIc had a
letter from Windham County declaring
that that portion Of the state wanted to go
for Frederick Billings, and the Globe itself
advocates the nomination Of the latter gen
tlcman.
The st. Adams Messenger commented
on what it had heard of the lack of edu-
cation on the part Of the Winlham county
candidate, and claimed that the man most
talked of on this side was Hon. +. F.
Walton Of Montpelier, Of whom the IVES
Sfnyer spoke very cordially considering the
radical differences Of opinion between the
editor and executor on railroad matters
The Free Press meantime maintained
that the "mo>t talked sf man. was Hon
Horace Fairbanks: also that the west
side would be very glad to support him
if presented. The Brandon T1lon' y
candidate is Col. j. b. Acad
Tie Rutland Globe returns to the charge
and claims that Mr. Fairbanks, when clec-
ted senator in 1869, snubbru the SOVEREIGN
people by not taking his seat. Thcrcupon
the Rutland H'rald is convinced that Mr..
Fairbanks would make Il good governor,
and that he didn't take lis seat in the Son

testified before the Committee, is probably
the worst man living; that he is Il proltS-

years obtained Il living by scandalou> pcac-
tices. The Emma Mine. according to Mr.
Stewart, has been the object Of one of the
greatest conspirlcies ever known.

paying ut the rate of $4,000, 900 Il month.
The Emma Mine was stocked ut S.. 00O.-

is worth nothing on the market. He is.
however, very strong in his conf lencc as
to the value of the mine. 1t is, he says.
worth $4,000, 900 to-day and may develop
