NO LAW OF SUCCESSION IN VER-
MONT,

The campaign in this State, which
completed its first and decisive stage
with the late State Convention, has con-
firmed the understanding Of two years
ago and cleared the political atmosphere
of the feeling that nomination for lieu
tenant governor carries with it claim
to the gubernatorial nomination at the
next biennial convention. Because
there had been no authoritative declara-
tion on the subject, fears were enter
tanned down to a comparative late day
that the promise made in Mr.. Fuller's
behalf twas not to be kept, but the deep
seated and universal determination to
take a new departure was such as to
discourage any attempt to continue the
practice of several preceding campaigns
if any one had desire to do so. 1t is
now firmly established that the law of
succession must find no foothold in our
system-that the fact of holding one
office shall not be an advantage in seek
ing another office. Aspirants must
enter the field on their merits, the
wholesome rule in all cases, and abide
the results of the canvass. This is a
great gain for good methods and pure
politics and may well be contemplated
with satisfaction. In our State, where
the ascendency of one party is so over
whelming, political management is
liable to drop into ruts, or into the hands
of the comparatively few active parti-
sans, who drum up recruits for the eau
cuses and faithfully attend all the nom
mating conventions. Such men are
human and from long association come
to think somewhat alike, to have aspi-
rations in common, TO combine to help
each other or their common favorites,
and to frown upon and if possible pre-
vent the candidacy of good and deserv-
ing men outside their own select circle.
There is altogether too much of this
sort of thing in Vermont politics for
health's sake, and we heartily welcome
any movement that shall tend to lessen
Objectionable manipulation and keep
the choice of candidates nearer the body
of the people, Woodstock Standard.
The principle above having been rec
ognized and established, The Phoenix
has small desire to win credit or ac-
acknowledgement for its share in bringing
it about. 1t is true, however, that this
paper was the first in the State to urge
the danger and the general bad policy
of letting it become rule that an cleo
tion as lieutenant-governOr establishes
claim for succession" to the COVER
norship at the next election.-[ Brattle-

FREE WOOL,

For the first time in seventy-fve years

He will find that they are rejoicing over

lead to his failure in business and the
monopoly of his trade by his rivals. II

FOR AMERICA.
"If we cannot after more than 100
years experience conduct the affairs of
this nation and do that which is best for
the American people without allowing
British free traders to shape the policy

matters we had better step aside and

THE WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY.
"Any impression that may have gone
abroad as a result of Mr.. Johnston's
utterances on the subject of free trade is
wrong as applied to the other owners Of
the stock. The free trade ideas are con-
fined solely to Mr.. Johnston, who is
superintendent of the mill. The others
are for protection. We believe that the
welfare Of the country depends on the
protection of the working people.

Cleveland issue his free trade message
and why was the Mills bill produced
And then remember that England en-
dorses Cleveland's message and is de-
lighted with the Mills bill. England
will endorse anything that has ten
dency to bring about free trade in
America in the hope that she can
monopolize American markets with the
products of her cheap labor"
DAVID JOHN JOHNSTON.
Of all the manufacturers of the
knitting and cotton industries OF Cohoes
only three are recognized as advocates
of free trade-the two Scots and David
John Johnston. Mr.. Johnston voted
for Cleveland four years ago. and he
was appointed by Cleveland one of the
commissioners to visit the New Orleans
exposition to inspect cotton. Mr.. Johns.
