that he expected to reach New York

The Messengers Wall.

The st. Adams Messenger is in a
state of mind over our report of the re-
publican league meeting at Montpelier.
1t declares that the CalcdOnian desires
to rob the republican movement in
Vermont of all national political sig
nificance by narrowing it down to a
personal issue. Possibly good case
might be made out on this ground, but
the Messenger knowingly misrepre-
sents the Caledonian when it reaches
the above conclusion through anything
that appeared in our comments on the
league convention. A candid report of
the convention was given in these col
umns, reference being made to some of
the general talk that preceded the
meeting, and to one or two facts in re-
lation to the organizers of it. GAS for
the CaledOnian's own opinions" which
the Messenger processes to find in this
news report, they were very frankly
stated in the editorial column of the
same issue, where we said that ''what
ever the original purpose of the Orga
nizatiOn, the general result was gOOd,'
and that "the idea that the work of
the league is to be that of bureau of
information, and that its purpose is
emphatically not that of boosting bu-
reau for aspiring politicians, will meet
with general approval if faithfully adj
hered to-" 1t would have been con-
trary to the peculiar phase of partisan
ship that the Messenger represents to
have credited us with fair and honest
statement of our position, which could
hardly have been more frankly stated
or more friendly to the movement.
This would have prevented the repub
LEGATION of one of it's 1884 editorials, to
be sure, but it would have been honest,
which the editorial in Mondays issue
of the Messenger was not. If these are
the methods that the republican press
of the state and nation are proposing
to adopt in the coming campaign we
prefer to remain "Out in the cold"
where we have managed to keep very
comfortable for the past three or four
years. Fortunately for the party, how
ever, some of the republican editors
have brains and are not under the alb
solute control of the Central Vermont
road or subject to the nod and beck of
Gov Smith

Vermont Senators Not Delegates.

Senators Edmnnds and Morrill, both
decline to go to Chicago as delegates
to the republican convention and give
good reasons for their decisions.
Senator Edmunds in declining says :
/ have been long under the impression
that our state should, in general, be
represented in the national convention
by such of our citizens as are not in
congress, and | have on former occa-
siOns, accordingly, requested that |
should not be proposed or appointed
as delegate. Besides this il is NOR
ting in June, and will be under urgent
stress of accumulated business, de-
manding all the strength and attention
can command. There are also other
considerations that need not be men
toned and which are merely personal.
| feel, therefore, that | must decline to
have my name considered in any man
ner in this connection.
Senator Morrill, writes ~ have al
ways hitherto declined any position as
a delegate to such a convention for the
reason that L have felt that members
of the house and senate ought not to
trust their opinions upon their con-

The Blaine Interview.

A summary of a recent interview
with Mr.. Blaine by New York World
reporter is given elsewhere. This re-
port is accepted by the New York
Tribune as worthy of credence, though
that paper is careful to repeat its state
ment made OH the appearance of Mr..
Blaine's letter, that it removes him
from the field only so far as it is in his
power to do so. We credit Mr.. Blaine
with sincerity and think this last ut
terance ought to remove all doubts in
the minds of any that he is even a pos
sible candidate for the place. Some of
his friends will continue in the mis-
take of urging that the nomination be
forced upon him in spite of erything,
but as time goes on Mr.. Blaine's with
drawal will be accepted by a constant
will serve their party best who devote
thought and effort to procuring the
best man for the place. There is an
air of sincerity and candOr about this
interview that can hardly fail of making
a good impression on Mr.. Blaine's
friends and. Opponents alike. He retires
from the position of supposed candi
date for the presidency in a graceful
and dignified manner, and while he
may escape the political receptions
that he seemed TO fear awaited him if
he returned as a candidate, he will be
welcomed back none the less heartily
by his fellow citizens.

MIR. BLAINE MEANS 1T.
Emphatic Further Statements.

The New York World prints three
which has been cabled from Florence
by T. G. Crawford. Mr.. Blaine, in the
course of long conversation, distinct
whatever would he allow his name to
be used in connection with the next
presidential nominations. He insisted
on the sincerity of his withdrawal, and
asserts that he had made up his mind
thereto long ago. He considers first,
that any man whose name has been as
sOciated with a defeat in presidential
campaign owes it to his party not to
allow himself to be renominated, and
secondly he is unequal to facing the ia
tigues, worry and excitement of anoth-
er canvass all the more, as he would
on previous occasions. Mrs. Blaine
and the other members of his family
are most emphatic in their approval of
his withdrawal, which is definite, and
neither hasty nor recent in it's decision.
Mr.. Blaine will not return from Europe
until June, and not until after the re-
publican convention. He declines to
express himself on the subject of the
republican candidates now in the field.
but asserts that he did not retire in ia
vor of any particular one of them. He
is convinced of republican victory,
basing his conviction in particular on
the tariff question.
When Mr.. Blaine was asked the cues
ton whether he would, under any cir
cumstances, permit his name to be
used again as a candidate, he replied
in the most emphatic negative, but
then added: al do not wish to make
any new affirmations upon the subject,
| have said all that | wish to say upon
this subject in that letter. That letter
as you must know was not a haphazard
off hand affair. 1t was the result of
much deliberatiOn and careful thought.
You will remember that | told you in
Paris last December that | had no in
tention of being candidate again, and
that l had practically made up nv
mind at that time to forbid the use of
my name in the approaching conven-
ton. l hold" he said later in the con-

MRS. .. a. MORRISON,
so Railroad Street, St. Johnsbury.
An Echo from 1854.

The Caledonian had the same priv
ilege of accepting the invitation to at
tend the national convention of repub
lican clubs at New York that others
had, and because it would not accept
of it, or afterwards swing into line
with the republicans of the country in
making ready for the national cam
paign, why should it criticise others
who do7 Simply because it is not
republican sheet, and is not at all in
sympathy with the party, broad and
wide. Because of its political attitude
and of its spite, it will have little in
fluence with the republicans of the
state, and it will not succeed in its po-
litical mission. Many, no doubt, will
be reminded of the tabled dog in the
manger, who would neither eat himself
nor grant the same privilege to the OK.
The relations of the mugwumps with
the republican party are the same now,
as we have often said, as were those of
the copperheads in 1862. And by the
same sign they shall he known.

Another Great Strike.

Another great strike is inaugurated
in the West. This time one of the
strongest labor organizations in the
country comes in contact with one of
the most powerful railroad corpora
tiOns in the world. The engineers
and firemen on the 5000 miles of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road have engaged in the strike.
Freight traffic on the road was sus-
pended Monday, the company devot-
ing all its energies to maintaining its
passenger service. All of the 1000
firemen and engineers have stopped
work. If the strike assumes the pro-
portions that now seems probable it is
estimated that over 10000 men will
soon be out of employment. 1t is diff
ficuIt to over estimate the damage to
property and to the business interests
of the country and the loss to en-
pIOyes Both sides are determined
and confident of ultimate success.

Explanatory.

The absence of any letter from Sena-
tor Edmunds at the Montpelier con-
vention two weeks ago gave rise to
considerable comment. Mr.. Noble sent
a letter of invitation to Senator Ed
munds similar to those sent to other
representative republicans. The fact
that no response was returned was due
TO an accident. The Free Press quotes
from a private letter written by Mr..
Edmunds since the convention as fol
lows:

Democratic National Convention.

The democratic national committee
have decided on June for their ma
tiOnal convention and st. Louis as the
place of meeting. At previous meet
ing of the committee, July 3D. was
agreed upon and San Francisco was
seriously talked of as the place of
holding the convention, but the sober
second thought overlook the committee
place were chosen. This undoubtedly
means an aggressive campaign with
Cleveland and tariff reform as the is
sues. This is the best hold of the
democrats and if they are wise they
will fight it out on that line.

VERMONT NEWS.
Taken for Tascott.

A mild-mannered and altogether in
offensive looking young man from
Vermont crossed the ocean on the
city of Chicago, arrived in London
last week and drove off to a hotel in a
hanson. AS he was engaging room
two men stepped up and demanded
who he was. The young man told
them that he was an American on a
pleasure trip, and that it was none of
their business who he was. The men
told him that they were detectives and
that he bore IL striking resemblance to
TascOtt, who was wanted for muir
dering Millionaire Smell in Chicago,
and that unless he could i've satistac-
tory account of himself, they would
lug him off to Scotland Yard. The
Young VermOnter, thoroughly fright
ened, assured them that he was not
TascOtt, and showed them letters of
introduction from prominent people in
Vermont to Minister Phelps. The
detectives went away and the young
man jumped into cab and hurried to
the American Legation to find out
what it was all about. While he was
talking over old school days with
Charles p. Phelps, son of the American
Minister, the two detectives came in
and wanted to know if the letters of
introduction were all right. Being
assured that they were, the detectives
apologized, and by way of atonement,
showed the young Vermonter all
around Scotland Yard.
