AT It again!

Didn't we tell you SO? Levi has
been down to New York again and
hunted up that Hooker-Fuller reporter
for the New York Tribune, and got
himself interviewed again. This time
he discourses with his usual turgid lu-
cidity about labor in the South, con-
corning which he knows about as much
as he does about craftsmanship, or re-
ligion, or honesty or the North Pole.
Hooker appears to have been present
and got his name into the paper along
side of Lewis. If this don't settle the
whole labor question all over the coun-
try it might as well be given UP as a
bad job. What these two eminent
Brattleboro statesmen don't know about
labor in all its phases isn't worth know
ing. Their grasp of intellect and knowl-
edge is simply immense. Old Knowl-
edge himself might proiitably go 10

school to them and take lessons on any
branch of human intelligence. Either
of them would promptly undertake to
teach the chinese language to pig tail
ed mandarinc. They know all about
everything. If the Tribune don't
choke Off that flunkey reporter the
world will not be permitted to forget
that this modest pair still live. Week
ly, (wcaklyD and even scmi-weekly
bulletins may be looked for from this
time forth about everything on, above
and beneath the earth, and especially
about Coils. Fuller n Hooker. The
cost of buying up and maintaining u
Il reporter is nothing compared to the
advantage of keeping their names con-
stanily before the public. Great is
IIumbug, and Levi and George are his
anointed prophets!

Our George ON a "stiil Hunt"
The Battlcboro letter to the Sunday
Springfield Republican contains the
following significant paragraph:

The Brattlcboro letter to the Sunday
Springfield Republican contains the
following significant paragraphs:
"A rumor from the north part of the state
credits Col. George w. Hooker with long
ings for Gen. Grout's congressional scat,
The same authority says that the colonel re-
lies upon still hunt campaign and that there
are reasons for suspecting that Grout's friends
relying upon their candidates sure success,
will be out-generaled in the caucuses unless
they keep their eyes open, However much
there may be TO such rumor it is known
that some Of iookers friends are watching
for favorable developments, and that they are
in hopes something may occur to bring their
man 10 the front"
We have been looking for something
of this kind for some time, for we
really didn't believe our George could
let such chance, to put himself before
the public and get talked about by the
newspapers, 90 unimprovel. He has
such an itching for Office and notoriety
he can't possibly restrain himself; but
in the end he will find the SIFTER's adj
vice, to go into retirement for season,
was good. lie won't follow it, all the
same. Already orders have gone out,
no doubt, to the managing Grand
Army men throughout the district to
rally to the caucuses, and rally they
will, in spite of their loud professions
of non-partsanship in politics. Keep
your eyes open, and see if they don't.
For what else have Hooker and his
office seeking pals been so Industrious
ly organizing and fostering these posts
except for their votes? Nothing else i'll
the world. But they conceal their SCI
fish purposes so cunningly under loud
professions of bcnevolence as to deceive
the unwary. A majority of the old
soldiers are honest and square and don't
mean to dishonor their professions,
not they; but their otfice-seeking lead
ers do. They are running the Grand
Army, so far as they can control it, as
mere political machine to promote
their own selfish ambitions, and for
nothing else. Except for expected aid
from the Grand Army, what possible
chance or hope could Hooker have of
getting the nomination for Congress!
Nary chance. OF course all caucus
packing ringsters, with Low Martin at
their head, and the whole Free Pass
Brigade, will rally to the support of
their brother in distress; but the peo-
pie and especially the farmers, have
decided to give congressman and farm
an Crn-t o.,o+i,o" 4-".,. nnonunt of
his vigorous fight against oleomargar-
inc, and for other services, which they
appreciate. But keep your eyes on the
caucuses and see if what we say about
attempts to use the Grand Army is not
true.

Cautions respecting the selection of
town representatives have been spoken,
and it is believed there is too much
reason for their repetition. If the
same vigilance that saved the county
conventions is exercised in the nominal
ton and election Of representatives, a
legislature that will give the people the
particular legislation they have been
asking for many years will be chosen.
But there arc opportunities in the towns
for evil work that could not succeed in
a thoroughly-awakened county. There
is reason to believe that much reliance
placed upon these opportunities by the
railway and anti-Edmunds forces,
which, it is superfluous to explain, are
one and the same thing The counties
and the senate have Invariably been the
railway strongholds. How well the
railways have relied upon their ability
to control the senate was shown again
by the sudden changes in the course of
senators at the last session. The i'm
press of the heavy hand was also on the
house. Now that they have lost the
senate it is reasonably certain that eff
orts will be make to gain complete con-
troll of the house. 1t is not enough to
choose men who are incorruptible.
They must be men of capacity and ex-
perience as well as honesty. The
farmers must look sharply to this mat
ter. Combinations are forming,
"slates,' are making of which the bulk
of the voters know little or nothing.
If the farmers expect to accomplish
anything, they must in every town take
the choice of representative resolute-
ly in hand. If they do their full duty
and then things go wrong, they can
with some reason exercise their divine
right of scolding.-[ Rural Vermonter.
