lost. Among those who persisted were
DR.. and Mrs. Horace G. Bartlett of Lyn-

Hon. FREDERICK BILLINGS has written
a letter to cX-Judge Barrett of Rutland,
in which he says 1t is hardly modest
for man to decline an office before IL is
rendered, yet trust | may be pardoned
in saying thus early, | am not a candi-
date and have not the slightest desire for
any political office whatever, and cannot
under any circumstances allow my name
to be used in connection with the CUB
irrational nomination." The chief rea-
son he gives is that his winter residence
is in New York. He says that the time
of the governor should be given to the
State, land, though the work of his Of
flee is very moderate, he can find many
ways outside of his strictly technical
duties to promote the interests and good
name of the Commonwealth. In this re-
spect, and in all respects, a governor
would be much more useful and the of
flee much more honorable if we could
get rid of the one-term rule. If that
rule is to be insisted on so long as the
governor is elected for two years, why
not change the constitution and get back
to annual elections? Then the governor
holding office for two years would have
the opportunity of two legislatures for
carrying out any policy he might deem
