THE GOvERNORSHlP.

We publish elsewhere candid and for
cible article on this subject from the Rut-
land HeruM of last week. Not much
more remains to be said. There are how
ever. ii seems to us. two good reasons,
not therein set forth, why Mr.. Ormsbee
rather than Mr. Batchelder should be
nominated and elected
First. There is apparently general
desire on the part of the pe0ple for legis-
latiOn, both national and State regulating
railroad freight rates, and it is likely that
a movement in this direction will be a
prominent feature of the coming session
of the Legislature. Unless present and
past indications are exceedingly deceit
full, Mr.. Batchelder's affiliations and in
terests are and have been with the rail-
roads and corporations rather than with
the people. Moreover, he never hesitates
to make any alliance which will, in his
opinion, further the political fortunes of
James X. Batchelder.
Second. Mr.. Batchelder is a perennial
otfice-seeker, one of the type of man as
far as possible removed from the old
fashioned ideal candidate, who does not
seek the office, but lets the office seek
him. His motto appears always to have
been, asking, ye shall receive" Do
the people of Vermont wish to elevate to
the highest Office within their gift man
of this Gtamny We think nor
The candidates are essentially unlike
one another, and the contrast is not al
together favorable to Mr.. Batchelder. 1t
is true that Mr.. Ormsbee is not shrewd
organizer of political campaign. He
has none of that snowy bonhomie and su-
perficial good fellowship which attract
the unthinking, casual observer. Those
traits which are seen in the successful

We advise those over-sanguine YER
mont editors who believe that they have
killed the Edmunds opposition to keep
their powder dry. The fight isn't fairly
begun yet, and when it opens in earnest
they want to be in readiness to do some
effective work.-Richford Gazette.
The issues of the approaching State
campaign are: First, whether Mr.. Ed
munds shall be reelected; second, the
establishment of railroad commission
ike tllat III MASSACHUSETTS, ana "SnOrt
haul law; and, third, the legislation
necessary to unity and invigorate the
educational system of the State. And
all these depend upon the election of the
right men as members of the Legislature.
-Bunington Free Press.
The great question of the latter days
of this campaign will be, who were these
anti-Edmunds men anyway Mr..
Batchelder's friend says that he is sure
of the nomination for governor. In
spite of this, however, and in spite of the
hard work that has been done in his be-
half it seems more and more evident that
as between the two, the thinking men
of the State are gathering on the Orms-
bee side.-.H. JOhRSbury CdledOaidR.

strength in the southern part of Windsor
and northern portion of Windham county
increases, broadens, deepens and alb
serbs so much" that there will be nothing
left for the form of fight. The same
