PRESS OPINIONS.

The following are some of the press
opinions of General Circuit and his work
in congress as given two years ago:
We count Gen. Grou5 among the young
men in congress who will make in time
an honorable mark for himself and his
district. An energetic, upright, honest,
vigorous man, Gen. Grout will make good
use of his opportunities in congress
Rutland Herald, May, 1882.
Gen. Grout is the best representative
Vermont has had in congress since Judge
Poland was retired. Gen. Grout
is Il worthy person and young man who
will grow; and the only regret that many
will feel at the return to congress of
Judge Poland will be the defeat of Gen.
Grout. Caledonian, just after Poland's
nomination.
Gen. Grout has made q good member,
is a man of ability who may be emphati-
cally termed growing man, and in his
one term as congressman has made a rec

Vermont loses member by the new
| apportionment and Hon. j. w. Tyler and
| Hon. William w. Grout are now in the
second district. 1t is announced that Mr..
| Tyler will not be q candidate. This ought
| to secure the reelection of Gen. Grout,
who is serving his first term, but has al

| 1882.
The following are some recent express
| sionS:
Grout will be the prominent candidate
and there is little doubt of his election
He was entitled to 4 reelection two years
ago by every consideration of right and
fair dealing; but majority thought they
| ought to go into the ''vindication' bust
ness and fix up Judge Poland. There is
more than equal necessity laid upon them
now to vindicate Gen. Grout. But this
is by no means the ground upon which
we would advocate his reelection. He is
an honest, upright man, has made us,
with the short experience of single term,
an Industrious and efficient representa-
tive, in ability and all other characteris-
tics necessary in a representative he ex-
GELS all who have been or are likely to be
named for the office. He will honor the
district and the district ought to honor
him.-ETpresS.
OF all the candidates named Gen. Grout
has the advantage of having had the ex-
perience of one term in congress in which
he acquitted himself honorably. We
think he will be the choice of the conven-
ton, and with him our readers need have
no fears but that the interests of the state
and country will be looked after with fl
deity. CdledonioR.
At this writing Gen. Circuit would seem
to have the pole and q good lead, and il
he don't ''break up" must come in ahead
The General made good congressman
and he is good fellow.-Clpper.
Judge Poland has declined being can
didate for congress in the second district
and Gen. w. w. Grout will be q candi
date, though Col. Hooker and Gov. Farm
ham will oppose him. Gen. Grout served
one term very acceptably, and there is ;
general feeling in the district that he de
serves at least one more term.-MancheS
ter Journal.
Gen. CIRCUITS chances seem to be thu
best. He is clean, honest man, and ha:
and deserves many friends in the district
Judge Poland out of the field, we believ,
Gen. Grout will be reasonably sure of tn,
support of Caledonia county. The Gen
eral has many friends in the county wht
have heretofore supported Judge POLAND
who will now, we believe, take hold ant
do what they can for him.-North Star.
