Here are IA few of the reasons why
DIR. George Nichols should not be NOM
mated for governor -
He is not big enough man for the
place.
He is not the right kind of IA man.
1t has not Vet been denied that he is
Il rumseller.
1t is therefore fair to presume that
the report is true.
Temperance people and prohibition
lists are voters if not politicians.
Don't forget that.
Nichols is Supposed to be the choice
of the eastern part of the state.
But only one republican paper east
of the mountain supports him.
And that is of no consequence.
He holds Il high official position in
the Vermont Central railroad corpora
ton.
Whose interests might be furthered
by Vermont governor at the expense
of the state.
He was brought ont and is being
pushed by the wire-puIlers.
He is not only in the ring, but he is
ringmaster.
He represents the spoils system, the
demagogs, the political schemers and
| the machine.
Therefore let him be defeated.

Ex-GOv. Hendee's Ideas.

Ex-Gov George w. HeDdee of Nor
risville was the picture of self-compla-
cency and good health at the st. Johns
bury house last Thursday afternoon.
His portly form and strongly marked
features attracted considerable admir-
alton, even diverting for moment the
public's interest in Bradley Barlow's
careworn countenance. The governor
said he was taking little interest in
politics at present and did not pretend
to he very well posted, although his
talk showed that he keeps an eye out
to catch the public drift.
~ know Col. Pingree WE'LL" be said
in answer to question, "and nobody
can say word against him. He ha:
an excellent record in every respect
is an able and popular man and would
| make a good governor. Nichols is {
good man too. He is perfect gentle
man and has been a faithful secretary
of state
''Do you hear any congressiona
talk ?"
Not much. Stewart of course ha
a walk-over in the first district, bu
here in the second | guess you viii
have little fun. Take the three men
Poland, Grout and Hooker, who ma,
become candidates and there will b.
quite a little excitement"
''Is it settled fact that Col. Hooke
is going to try for the place p
"Why | haven't the slightest doub
but that even if Poland should be nom
mated and GrOut should enter til
field against him, Hooker would sill
come in as third candidate. Hi
friends will push him hard and he vii
have Windham county solid beside
standing Il good show i'll the rest c
that section"
as there any presidential talk owe
your way ?"
"Oh, everybody in Vermont is fC
Edmunds and it seems to me he wi
be pretty apt to get the nomination
He could carry New York great DEF
easier than Arthur and his electio
would be a matter of course"

has been popular with ''the boys"
even in Vermont. where he is held in
the highest esteem, He has steadily
refused the business of office broker
age Few men in the senate, where he
has served so long, have so high an
ideal. Indeed, we believe that the
great Office of senator, us he under
stands it, fully satisfies his ambition,
and that he does not desire the presi-
/ deucy. Mr.. Edmuuds may be a politi-
cal necessity. He would be, without
doubt, the strongest candidate where
strength is most needed. He would be
especially strong, in New York, for he
would be acceptable at once to the
.stalwarts" and the 'half- breeds" and
no other candidate would begin to sat
isfy the independent voters so well
There is almost an absolute certainty
that he would carry New York state
and that would secure the election. o
what other candidate could this b,
! said Not of Blaine, Arthur or Logan
| Possibly some man less known Ores
ham, for instance-might carry New
York but of all the candidates in thu
front rank Edmunds is by far TIN
strongest. There are "booms" NOR
, or less vigorous. but the convention
will be controlled by men whose frs
desire is to carry the country. Bos

Carlyle says, ''In well chosen books
lies more than any where else all the
wisdom that a man yet has: as in i'll
chosen books lies most tfagrantly OF all
what so ever is choicest aud most per

The modern novel is growth-a de-
velopment-and is a. unlike its protO-
type as the human species is unlike the
animal from which by some it is
thought to have had its origin. The
province of the original novel was to
entertain simply. Its vapid sentiment
alism and romantic extravaganza has
given place to higher and truer lit
erature. As an instrument of sOcia
and political reform it has a higher
claim to the respect and gratitude o
the present generation than any othel
| instrumentality. 1t is and is to be ;
tremendous power in the future civil
cation of the world. What its natur,
for the future is to be will he deter
mined by the taste of its readers. Lik'
all other commodities, the character %
the supply will be determined by til,
demand to be supplied. So that thu
question with us is broader than tn
immediate influence of what is rea,
upon the reader. What is read to-da
is to determine the character of tn
book of the future.

Novel Reading.

The growing propensity among young
people to read fiction only has induced
the managers of some public libraries
to Danish fiction entirely. The great
increase in the distribution of this kind
of literature, the easy facility with
which it is now obtained in the vari-
Gus cheap editions. will account for
the growing taste for fiction. The ap-
petite has been nOurished and strength
ened 10y the food it feeds on.
The very facility with which these
books can now be obtained is an argu-
ment of no little force for retaining
this element of literature in public Ii
braries where its character may he de
termined and controlled. At all events
the novel has the field and will have
its day. If il is an evil. or if it be a
good with evil effects growing only
out of its misuse, the wise thing is Il
control aud regulate it as We do Other
evil things, OF good things from which
flow evil results, which We cannot ge
rid Of or dispense with. The remark
"I.et me write the ballads of country
and care not who makes its laws,
has lost its significance. The move
has superseded the ballad as an edu
Gator. The German beguiles himsel
with music, the Frenehnau with con
versation, while the American and tn
Englishman find their amusement large
" in reading.
The demand for literature of som
kind is imperative, and will be sup
piied. II may be directed and made
source and element of strength in GU
