be kept in office, If know anything
OF the wishes of the Republicans OF
Washington county, they are, today, in
favor of the return of Judge Poland to
Congress-
IL Judge Poland is not a candidate,
then there will be a lively contest be-
tween General Grout and Colonel
Hooker. Both have announced them
selves as candidates. Both Were pres
ent at both conventions, and both did
all the work they could for themselves.
Gen, Grout expects to have all the sup
port which he had in 1882, and more.
In this am afraid he will be disap-
pointed. Now Gen. Grout and Col.
Hooker are both personal friends of
ours; they are young men entirely COM
potent TO fairly represent Vermont in
Congress, but they are entirely inferior
to Judge Poland in that legal knowl-
edge and legislative experience which
makes man a power in the lower
House. Let them help return Judge
Poland as matter of courtesy and he
will not be likely to care for Congress
after this, and then Grout and Hooker
can lock horns fairly and friendly for
Congress, Bnt don't kick the old
Judge; next to Geo. f. Edmunds he
has given Vermont thirty years of as
good, solid, sensible service as any man
of his day and generation; he has his
superficial faults and infirmities, as all
superior men have, but measured in a
large, generous way Luke Poland is a
big man,who ought to be continued in

much to honor. We say this with no
prejudice, because we have the strong
est personal attachment to Col. Hook
er, who was gallant soldies and is one
of the most noble and generous hearted
men we ever knew; man bright, sa-
gacious, full of tact and faculty for
managing men; for Gen. CIRCUITS char

Political Notes.

Hiram Enos, the Wisconsin member
of the Republican committee, SAYS that
II, when the Chicago convention meets,
it appears that Arthur has majority of
the New York delegation, he will have
sixteen votes from Wisconsin, but if it
is shown that Arthur has not that
strength in his own state, those votes
will probably go to Edmunds.
The influences that would "antago-
ize Blaine" in the election-or part of
them-are comprised in the votes of at
least 10000 independent Republicans,
who have made it known, through the
voice of its recognized representatives
and leaders, that they will not, under
any circumstances, vote for the Maine
politician. They do not "demand' the
nomination of Edmunds or of any other
candidate. They simply say they will
not vote for Blaine Boston Herald.
The Utica Herald would lead its read
ers to infer that Mr.. Blaine's protection
opinions have arrayed Harper's Weekly
the Few York Evening Post and such
papers against him. Nonsense: Mr..
Edmunds is as much protectionists as
Mr.. Blaine; besides. the only out and
out free-trade Republican paper in the
country is urging the nomination of Mr..
Blaine--The Chicago Tribunc.-rBoston
Traveller.
Mr.. Edmunds is highly respected by
all the factions. He is as "stalwart' as
the stalwarts, he is acceptable to the
half-breeds, and he is the ideal of the
independents. In short, the fact that
he is heightened statesman of the first
ability, of unspotted character and of
national aims, one who has never re-
sorted to the work of politician, would
make him strong with all the voters Of
the party. There is nothing against
Edmunds but the influence of the poll
ticians. They would peter candidate
they could manage more easily. They
will not 60 for Edmunds unless they
feel obliged to do SO to win victory,
and the Democrats seem disposed to
give them aid and comfort.-1Boston

The Grant-Ward Failure.

Chas. OConor, the eminent lawyer
died at his residence in Nantucket
Tuesday.
The Grant-Ward failure is complete,
and sweeps off every dollar of the
Grant family, including the fortunes of
their wives. The whole matter is likely
to be elucidated i'm the courts. and some
ugly developments may be expected.
Gen. Grant made over his real estate
and that of his wife to W. II. Wander
bilt to secure $4,000 borrowed of
Vanderbilt few days before the fail
ure. These conveyances have since
been returned to the General by Van
derbilt, an act received with as much
surprise as anything connected with the
matter. Much sympathy is felt for
Gen. Grant, whom it is not believed
knew of the crooked management of
the concern.

Is a business letter addressed to the
SITTER, the writer suggests the name
of O. Il. Garfield, of Townshend, for
State Senator from the north end.
This suggestion is good one, certainly
worthy of thought and consideration.
Mr.. Garfield is level headed farmer
of much ability, and has no axe to be
ground by any corporation, monopoly
or politician, and would thoroughly
represent the people without fear or
favor.
Let the suggestion go out. These
are days of discussion and thought, and
the cause of the people and good gov
eminent are not likely to suffer thereby.

ent Republican paper in Windham Co.,

the name of Oscar r. Garfield, of
Townshend, for State Senator, man
thoroughly independent, of and for the
people, and beyond the control of even

A thorough business man, farmer
by occupation, and capable of not only
managing his own business, but doing
large amount of legal business for his

The Congressional Campaign.

1t seems to be taken for granted that
our present representative in Congress,
Hon. Luke p. Poland, is not to have a
walk over in the coming campaign. In
deed, there are forces at work with
energy, whose avowed object is to fire
out Uncle Luke, and establish in his
place new and coming man. who is
expected to benignantly smile upon and
do the honors of the Second Congress
sional district.
There will be no doubt about the
smiling part from large constituency
OF anxious cXpectants. But as to the
honors, that is matter of another hue
altogether.
Indeed, it is doubtful if the warmest
OF either of the many aspirants would
claim that the election of their favorite
would honor the district, the State or
the nation more than would the retain
ing of the present incumbent, whose
reputation as an able lawyer and work
ing legislator is not to be made, but is
already SO well established as to be
matter of national pride.
The friends of Grout, Hooker or anv
of the other candidates, would hardly
expect that their favorite. if elected,
would be placed upon the judicial COM
nJffnn of tbp hoI,pn l.
sition now occupied by Judge Poland,
but would be compelled, for lack of
ability and want of legislative expert
ence, preforce, to occupy much lower
position.
The Rutland Herald, in its issue of
last Monday, contains the following apt
and pointed words in .'Plea for Po-
land:"
The voters of Vermont are not chill
dren in years and they should not act
like children. The large and surprising
ability and public fame of Judge Poland
ought to make his reelection certain
against any campaign of resurrected
hates and personalities. Judge Poland's
conduct has been so discreetand able in
the present Congress that even the
Montpelier Argus, that bitterly de-
nounced him two years ago, saws,
through very intelligent local CORES
pondent:
Judge Poland's conduct in Congress
during the present session has been able
and influential. He is very popular,

Notwithstanding the positive declara-

contrary, DR.. Nichols is announced as u
candidate for the office of secretary of
