STATE POLITICS.
On Broad Ground.

Col. Franklin Fairbanks of St. Johns
bury, who will have a strong support
in the state convention for the lieuten-
ant-governorship, bases his support of
Senator EdmuDds on the broadcast and
strongest ground possible. "The re-
publican party" he says, ''is a nation
al party, and by as much as the re-
publican party of any particular state
can do to help the national Organiza-
ton, by so much it insures the success
of the party and the nation Brattle-
borO Phoenix.
Yet au open Question.
The gOvernOrship is becoming every
day more of an open question. The
difficulty experienced in SETTLING" the
matter before even the town delegates
are chosen is an indication of health
full interest in state matters on the
part of the people at large. A frank
and wide-awake sitting of the recon-
mendatiOns urged for each candidate
raj VermOnter.
Strikes a Responsive Chord.
The suggestion of Judge Barrett of
Rutland for governor is one that strikes
a responsive chord in the sanctum of
the Sun. The governor of state is
looked upon as a representative man.
There seems to be no good
reason why the gubernatOrial chair
should not at all times be as well filled
as our seats in congress now are. d.
Again, why should the lieutenant
governor be the heir-apparent to the
governorship 9-[White River juno
ton Sun.
Going for the Best Man.
If no third candidate comes into the
field, the nomination will go to either
Mr.. Ormsbee or Mr.. Batchelder as a
matter of course. Should third man
be brought before the convention we
seriously doubt whether either could
command enough strength outside his
his own county to carry the nOmina-
ton. From all parts of the state, out
side of Bennington and Rutland coun-
ties, a strong disposition is manifested
to let alone presidents and individual
''claims" and go for the chest man.
BrattlebOro Phoenix.
Safer Man to Tie To.
Both are worthy men, in the prime
of their powers, and both have had
| considerable experience in public af-
falrs. wishing TO get all the light
possible on the subject we recently
asked a prominent citizen, who knows
them both and who has clear ideas of
men and things, which is the better
man. His reply was that while Mr..
Batchelder is the more brilliant and a
pushing politician, Mr.. Ormsbee is the
most solid and substantial and the
safer man to tie to. This accords with
our knowledge of the two Wood
stock Standard.

There is one gratifying feature OF
the gubernatOrial contest in this state
and that is that almost without excep-
ton the names of those who have been
"mentioned" are names that would
not disgrace the office. Some of them
stand head and shoulders above others
but all of them are men of ability, and
with possibly one or two exceptions,
of good character and excellent stand
ing. Vermont is to be congratulated
that she has so many good men, and
on the other hand, she is deserving of
sympathy that such large proportion
of them want office.
