PEACE.

"Who knows how often he offendeth?"
When Conscience's white light burns dim
In doubt of Right, that word descendeth
Alone from Him.
We cannot tell; We see but blindly
Thro' the strange erOSs-lights given TO all.
BY rule than all our own more kindly
We stand, or fail.
So if, in this inspired disorder,
We seem at times to lose our way,
And by mans laws to cross the border,
We can but pray!
We can but say, we know not wherefore,
Mans evil may be oft Gods good;
We think He understands; and, therefore,
'Tis understood.
We can but feel, the mystic teaching
IJas told us DER and DER again
For Gods commands to slight the preaching
Commands OF men.
Strange mystery! it was so forever;
Then let the yearning spirit rest,
Through the long trouble of endeavor,
Upon his breast.
Know that He knows; all else will follow
AS surely as the light the dark,
And as the fight of hawk or swallow
Rest ON the Ark.

GOVERNOR FREDERICK BILLINGS,
of Vermont, thoughtful and able man,
who has figured largely in national poll
tics, thinks the uncertainty and shifting
from one name to another in the consid-
Grafton of candidates healthy sign and
good thing for the Republican party
He thinks Sherman the best equipped for
the place of all persons named, but that
availability will have to be considered, as
well as capacity. Several States will pre-
sent good names, and the consideration
of them will be wholesome occupation
for the convention. He thinks Blaine
will not be candidate, nor can he afford
to be. If his name is presented, it will
look very much as though he is trifing
with a great party. Governor Billings
expects the nomination to go to the West.

THE contemplate discrimination made
in the apportiOnment of delegates to the
county convention becomes apparent
| when the district and county apportlOn-
ments are compared. Pultney township
! has u delegates out of GO in the one, and
| II out of 81 in the other 1t polls one
fifth of the Republican vote of the coun-
| ty. and on that basis should have 19 dele
gates to the county convention, but gets
only A. Five hundred of her Republican
voters have no eSentatiOn.-Be[tdTe
Tribune.
In Congressional conventions repre-
sentation is based wholly upon the vote
cast-one vote in convention for each
one hundred Republican votes.
Several years ago it was determined in
county convention that thereafter each
township should have four delegates in
our county conventions, and, in addition,
one delegate for each one hundred votes
(or fraction of hundred over fifty cast
for the Republican ticket, above two hun
dred. This rule is still in force, and can
not be changed except in convention of
the people. The Tribune'S paragraph is
calculated to create the impression that
the County Committee has blundered in
its apportionment.
The rule in force was compromise
and a concession to the weaker town.

worked harm to any section of the coun-

Importance that manly, honest, and ca
pable men be chosen for public Office,
