Hon. Mat Carpenter said on the occasion
of his last visit to Vermont, not long before

MIR. Edmundss interview with the New
York World correspondent, an extract from
which is printed on our first page to-day,
makes one of the most interesting bits of po-
litical reading of the day. 1t may be well to

good clean, upright man with an honest record upon
financial questions, man who is above reproach, the
chances for the Republicans eectng their candidate
viii be, shOnld say, seven out Of ten"
