ham of Bradford, is absolutely certain OF
, the place unless there shall be such pol
itical upheaval as was never before wit
messed in Vermont. The press and the
politicians 1--WE use the term in It's best
sense) are practically unanimous, and, we
are very glad that it is so. In the presi-
Dental contest there is strife enough to
satisfy the most morbid appetite, and
lnasmuch rs Vermont leads off in Septem-

no scratchers or soreheads. Col. Farnhan
is worthy the suffrages of Vermont repub
licans. He has been for many years prom
inent in public affairs in his section and
in the Legislature, and if elected will bring
to the governorship accurate knowledge
of what is required He is gentleman
, of the very highest character-one fol
: whom any citizen may vote in the full
3 assurance that his confidence is not mis-
placed. Woodstock Standard.
