The Second District.

The second congressional district of
Vermont for several months has been the
object of considerable interest. Within
the state, outside the district, the question
of Judge Polands successor has served
to help out editors embarrassed for safe
subjects for leaders and correspon dents at
loss for items of news. Outside of Yer
mont the distinction shed on the state and
the district by the eminence of Judge
Poland's abilities and the brilliancy of his
congressional career has attracted won
dering attention to the fact that his return
to congress was matter of doubt. Judge
Polands constituents who have been
measurably familiar with his inten ii ons
have had no special anxiety on the sub
ject of his course in the coming canvass,
regretting only the prospect that by his
own defnitive withdrawal from public life
the splendid delegation of Vermont in the
present congress, delegation that by its
strength and dignity has attracted the ad-
miration of the nation, would be broken
and broken, it is no disparagement to the
brightest genius on the east side or in the
whole state to say, beyond the power of
Vermont to repair at once. Judge Poland
has written letter to his constituents de-
clining a denomination to congress, a let
ter that conclusively takes him out of the

ton who shall succeed him comes up
sharply for consideration. In the desul-
tory canvass of the matter hitherto, it has
been generally understood, and last week
formally announced, that General Grout
would again be candidate. Hon. Warren
G. French, of Woodstock, and ex.Gov.
Farnham, of Bradford, it is currently re-
ported, are also ambitious of preferment
to this Office. These gentlemen have been
in public life and their fitness for the po-
sition of representative in congress is
pretty we'll understood. The retirement
of Judge Poland may bring into the field
q new candidate, Colonel George W.
Hooker of Brattleboro, to contest the
nomination with any or all of the three
mentioned above. BY his bold and tactful
course in the legislature, and the success
which has attended the particular meas
ure with which his name is asso ciated, he
has acquired great and well deserved pop
ularity in the whole state. He has devel
oped capacity and has the courage fol-
practical and progressive legislation. II
is undeniable that this fact will work fol
him and it will be REINFORCED by the goot
fellowship, liberality and kindly DISPOSE
ton for which he is distinguished.
The retirement of Judge Poland i'm
, poses grave responsibility upon the sec
, ond district and an exceedingly Difficult
and embarrassing task upon his successor
, The district cannot hope to make Judg
Poland's place good. The wisest thing i
| can do is to look the ground over with
, view to finding some man of sufficien
| promise, of such experience and sucl
r demonstrated capacity for public affairs

Notes and Comments.

THE Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says
that Mr.. Joseph W. Harper, Jr., has
written to the chairman of the republican
state committee asking leave respectfully
to resign his place on the list of presidsn-
tial electors, to which he was appointed
at the late republican state convention.
THE Caledonian "cannot see its way
clear to support James G. Blaine for pres
ident" because he is opposed to civil-ser-
vice reform, is in favor of high protec-
tive tariff, would restrict Chinese immi-
grafton, because of his foreign policy, be-
cause of the stains on his congressional
record, and because he is politically dis
honest and unreliable.
New BEDFORD MERCURY We hear
a good deal of talk about political dudes,
and have been curious to know what they
are. As nearly as we can find out, after
comparing great number of instances in
which the expression is used, a political
dude is fellow that doesn't see things
exactly as you do. You have pretty de-
cided ideas about party, platform, or
a candidate. So has the other man. But
his ideas and yours are different. Then
he's a dude"
THE Philadelphia Press quotes the ed
itor of the New York Tribune, Mr.. Blaine's
chief press representative, as conceding
that if an independent candidate is put
up it may make difference in New York
of ten thousand votes" To Offset this
loss, he counts on democratic accessions
in cities and enthusiasm in the rural dis
tricts. In 1874 there was an independent
candidate for president in New Yorh
named Birney, an abolitionist. He re
ceived 1892 votes, most of which would
have otherwise gone to Clay. Clay los
New York (Polk's plurality being five
thousand) and the country. A few thou
sands for an independent proved to be q
serious matter.
ADvIoEs received in New York indi
cate that Mr.. Blaine will visit that cit.

tion Of the republican national committee

his official work, to clothe him with the
honor and prestige that are his due and to
stamp the republican state administration
with the seal of deserved and emphatic
approval, Vermont republicans should see
to it that Colonel Pingree goes into the
executive chair backed by a majority
that has suffered no abridgement.
The champions of Hon. j. X. Bathelder
of Arlington appealed with strong reasons
to the convention for his nomination as
Acknowledgements. The spirited canvass
his friends made Tuesday evening and
in the convention gave the drilled and
organized forces of the successful con-
testant vigorous shaking up. One OF
the strongest objections to Mr.. Ormsbee
cannot be regarded as exactly uncompli-
mentary to him, viz. that his strength may
make him formidable candidate for the
governorship at the next convention, and
so promote the establishment of rapidly
forming and injurious precedent, which it
may cost bitter fight to break. Sus.
picions are breathed that the nominees
chief ambition was to get in the line of q
promotion to which precedent as we'll as
capacity would powerfully contribute.
Circumstances, but not his talents, re-
lieved the candidacy of Mr.. Batchelder of
this embarrassment, and his canvass I'M
questionably gained strength from con-
siderations of this kind. Mr.. Dubois for
treasurer and Mr.. Powell for auditor were
nominated by reclamation.
1t may reasonably be inferred that THE
WAToHMAN regards with fair degree of
complacency the nomination of Deputy
Secretary c. w. Porter to be secretary of
state. OF the quality of Mr.. Porter's
candidacy we have heretofore spoken
with freedom and sincerity. Now that
the contest is over there is genuine
satisfaction in being able to say that no
considerations of personal hostility to DR..
Nichols have ever entered into the opposi.
ton to him. Had he come before the
convention with his title to a nomination
unclouded by formal and positive re.
nunciation of the Office, unprejudiced by
his withdrawal from the canvass for the
governorship and his unexpected and sur
prising re.entry into the canvass for his
present Office, questionably no opposi-
ton to his receiving nomination at the
hands of the people would have been made
by any one. Under all the circumstances,
Mr.. Porter or his friends can have moth.
ing to regret in his candidacy or in the
conduct of the canvass. The opposition
to DR.. Nichols was carried on with reso.
luton, but in spirit that leaves no room
for resentments, and it was maintained
to the last moment with dignity, fairness
and honor. Admiration is expressed for
the pluck the deputy secretary always ex-
hibited and appreciation of the modesty,
GOODNESS and good judgment he displayed
in this, his first political fight, made
against very formidable odds. He has
fairly and honorably won his spurs.

The State Nominations.

The convention which assembled at
Burlington last week, to nominate state
officers to be supported by the republican
voters of Vermont, was not exactly fully
attended or wildly enthusiastic assem-
bly,. The body lacked nearly two hun
dred of full complement of delegates.
1t was composed of men, sedate and sober
minded, who acted as if they had met for
business, and with business-like direct
ness and dispatch they did their work
and departed to their homes. 1t being
made certain that Hon. Frederick Billings
of Woodstock could not and would not,
for clearly explained and very satisfactory
reasons, accept the nomination to the
governorship, Hon. Samuel f. Pingree, at
present acknowledgements of the state,
was named for that position by acclama.
ton. The incidents of the canvass for
this nomination have been, it is within
bounds to say, somewhat exceptional in
the political history of this state. THE
WAToHMAN has frequently borne testi-
mony that certainly was not colored by
partisan preference to the honor and
cleanliness, the modesty and respecta-
bility, with which Colonel Pingree has
borne himself during the struggle for the
honors this convention held within its
grasp. At decisive moment in the can
vass he was as courageous and resolute
and manly as he has been unobtrusive.
1t is due to him to say that he has grown
as candidate with every shifting phase
of this contests many-sided history. We
have been candid, without rsncor or preju-
dice, in expressing our estimate of his
capacity. Equal candor and justice COM
pels us to say that he stands to-day much
stronger in the good opinion of those who
have watched him while under fire than
when his friends first put him in the
field. That he will make an earnest, eff.
Gent and progressive governor, laboring
intelligently and studying in practical
ways outside of the beaten path of ex-
ecutive effort for the development of in.
terests of vital consequence to the welfare
of the state, we confidently expect. We
shall hope to see something accomplished
during his administration that shall mark
the adoption of new and well-considered
policy in the support and encouragement
of agriculture and manufactures, in the
reformation of certain shiftless and waste
full expenditures and in recasting thu
worn-out school system of the state
These are subjects for the display of prac
tical craftsmanship, and some of the quail
tiles Colonel Pingree has developed en-
courage Just and reasonable hope tina
they will find in him comprehensive
student and capable advocate-one who's
recommendations will have something
more than perfuuctory character, excit,
something deeper than languid curiosity
and result in something more fruitful
than barren reference to legislativ
committee. Republicans will support thi
nomination with an enthusiasm and cal
nestness inspired by the fact that it come
from the people, that the nominee himsel
was the passive instrument of natural an
spontaneous forces. To place him on tn
highest vantage ground of influence an
