The District Convention

of the Third District i called te meet at

town committees will soon be calling the
town caucuses for the choice of delegates.
DO the voters realize that the question of the
representation of this District in Congress is

most distinctly the fact. A Republican
nomination in this District has heretofore
always been equivalent to an election and
there is 10 reason to suppose that it will be
aby different this year. The voter who Las
any choice as to who shall represent him and
the District in Congress, must attend the
toien cducuseS, and express his preference
there. There he en- influence the question

THINGS FOR VOTERS TO THINK ABOUT.


A lady correspondent. who has had an ex.
tended acquaintance in Washington and i.
well posted in public matters, writes as fol,
lows from California to the Barton Monitor
"Voters of the Third District of Vermont
let me ask you question. If your own
fireside was endangered by hostile enemies,
and the homes Of your neighbOrs were being
made desOlate by rapine and murder, what
men would you seek to protect You and
them: the men who in previous time of
peril, stood by you and them, or the man
that lifted no hand to protect or succor
When such scenes were enacted, Bradley
Barlow, who now seeks to find a place in
Congress. was eagerly seeking to build up
his fortune by zealously attending to his own
business lie was not in the field CT at the
post of danger.
A paper announces that Mr.. Barlow has
not put in any new bids for mail contracts.
Certainly not; he is too shrewd for that :;
but how about Club Sanderson. his partner :?
Isn't it just possible that Club is looking
after the interests of Barlow?
Remember, voters, that the time is liable
to come when the House Of Representatives
will choose President Vermont cannot
afford to send man into that House whose
politics are uncertain.
Mr.. Barlow was converted to Republican
ism just at the time when it was for his in
terest to be Republican, and his political
principles anchor in that water that promises
the most profit and plumber. 1t will be much
wiser to select a man who is patriotic, and
about whose pclitics there is no question.
Mr.. Barlow has been too long in the lobby
at Washington. lie has friends to reward.
enemies to punish and accomplces with
whom to connive Tor any business of profit
that they may undertake together. Do not
put such man in place where he may be
tempted.
VermOntcrs in Congress have maintained
an excellent reputation for honesty. Let
there be no tarnlsh now. Find some man.
any true man whose aim will be above emol-
uments or plumber, and let him do respect
to the State and the District.

What a rare treat it was to me lie was

the words of wisdom that dropped from his

any question | might propose to him, he
would give utterance to some profound and
original train OF thought that would startle

Why he cluag to me as he did would ever

not known that one prominent trait of his
character was always to take the side OF
the weak against the strong. True, We
were in full sympathy on all the great ques-

We copy, in another column. portion Of
the speech of Gen. W. W. Grout, on the
Caughnawaga ship canal, made in support of
the resolution to which we alluded, the
other day. The broad views and decided
ground taken by Gen. Grout at that time, in
regard to that great enterprise, were much
to his credit. The resolution introduced by
him. and passed in spite Of the opposition Of
Mr. Barlow, attracted wide attention at the
time. 1t contributed to, and found an echo
in, the action Of the Great National CONNER
cial Convention, at Chicago, at later date,
in favor Of the St. Lawrence and Lake Cham

ways been considered by the friends of the
canal as a valuable aid to the enterprise, in
defining and placing on permanent record
the attitude Of the State Of Vermont in rela-
ton to tie project. Gen. Grout hold. the
same views to-day, and nobody can doubt
that the services of such an old and tried
supporter Of the enterprise would be worth

has any. has become apparent only at this
