The Republicans of Vermont.
through their delegates, are hereby

o'clock Il. m, for the election Of dele

Importance of the vice Presidency

The office of Vice President of
the United States, except that it
gives the occupant possible Glance
of becoming President, is not held
in the high esteem, nor is it eagerly
sought by men of prominence in
either party. For the first time in
many years the next Vice President
of the United States will probably
be something more than fgurehead
"a mere presiding officer.
There is reasonable prospect Of
his vote determining whether that
body shall have a Republican or a
Democratic majority. The Senators
whose terms expire with this Con-
gress are, with two exceptions, from
States strongly Republican or Demo
cratic. The exceptions are New
Jersey and California. The last
election for Senator in those States
gave two Democrats to the Senate
MessrS. Hearst and Blodgett. They
will be the pivotal States in the next
campaign.
Should two Democrats be elected
to succeed Messrs. Stanford, a Re-
publican, and Mcpherson Demo
crat, the Democrats would have a
bare majority in the Senate of the
next Congress. If two Republicans
are elected, then the Republicans
will have a bare majority. Accord
ing to political prophecy, however,
the prospect is that a Republican
will succeed Mr.. Stanford and a
Democrat Mr.. Mcpherson. This
would equally divide the Senate and
give the Vice President the casting
vote.
On such contingency likewise
depends the organization of the Sen
ate committees and all the patronage
of that body. This possibility will
give to the State campaign in New
Jersey and California additional i'm
portance, and increase the zeal Of
each party to win in the Presiden-
tial campaign. 1t would be very
odd in our political history if the
political unity of the administration
and both houses of Congress de-
pended upon the politics of the next
Vice President.

More Impressions of California
Editor of HERALD

Dear Sir:-As, this is our last
days stay in Southern California,
after six weeks careful study of its
resources and developments, a few
lines from one Of your many readers
may be of interest to those who
have read of its perpetual sunshine
and flowers, Strawberries all the
year, and many other similar de-
lusions, but never had the opportu-
nifty to know the truth. There is
much here TO admire at this season
of the year. 1t is claimed that the
winter is only from December Is to
February Is, though the rainy sea-
son is much longer, extending to
April. Instead of being perpetual
sunshine, it has rained fifteen days
of the six weeks, eight of which the
sun did not appear at all; SIX other
nights, during this time, the fog was
so thick that the water ran off the
caves like rain, and did not leave
the highest places till 8 a. m. There
has not been one evening or morn
ing during the six weeks that a fire
was not essential to comfort in our
rooms, and still the place is extern
sively advertised as health giving
resort for consumptives. A few
flowers can be seen at all times
Since we came here not a strawberry
| has been seen in any market or gar
den, and only within the past ter
| days have the vines begun to shew
any signs of life. All this being
true of this country does not render
it undesirable for winter climate
If the truth was actually known
more people would come here ant
go away satisfied than do now. Th'
fine days here cannot be beaten any

The most salient feature of the
debate on the dependent pension
bill in the United States Senate was
the development of the sneering lis
like held by certain Southern Sena-
tors for the Grand Army OF the Re
public. Those gentlemen should put
the hates and animosities of the war
behind them, and recognize the fact
that the men who saved the Union
have claim upon it, that honor, if
nothing else, should compel them to
meet without objection.

Republican Clubs and Conventions.

What are tie Republican Town
Committees of Essex County think
ing of that they do not at once or
ganize Republican Club in their
several towns? Thus far we have
only three such clubs in the county;
vet it is essential that we should
have one in every town. The fact
that one half of the towns of the
county was represented by Demo
Gratis in the last Legislature ought to
arouse us to immediate action. The
example of Brighton could be fol-
lowed with profit not only in Essex
county, but throughout the State.
Here the Republicans have not only
organized a club, but are keeping up
the meetings and discussing ques-
tions of public policy; nay, more,
they have voted to pay the railroad
fares of their delegates to all the
state conventions to be held this
year This matter of expense is but
Q trihe when paid by the many, but
if all had to be paid by the delegate
it might perhaps be enough to bar
out some of our best men, and cause
some of the smaller towns to have
no representation at all. Our county
onght to have full delegation at
the coming convention at Burling-
ton the fourth of next month, to
elect delegates to the National Con
vention, for there will be sounded
the keynote of the campaign. The
best speakers in the State will be in
attendance, and it will be an inter-
esting and enthusiastic occasion.
Oar county delegates will catch the
spirit of the convention, carry 1t
home and enthuse others, which will
swell our general majority at the
fall election and redeem our county.
As to the expense, half fare tickets
will be issued from Wells River to
Burlington. BY combining and
buying mileage tickets at Groveton
Junction the fare from there to
Wells River would only be about
$l.OO, and we learn that an effort is
to be made to get half fare tickets
on the G. T. r. The second dis
trict convention to elect delegates
to the National Republican Conven-
ton will be held at Montpelier,
April 5, the day after the State
Convention, and we think it would
be a good plan to elect one set of
delegates to act at both conventions,
as the representation is the same.

Bad blood has been stirred up in
the Senate, by the debate on the
pensions bill, and Senator ingalls, Of
Kansas, outdid himself-which is
saying much. He said that "the
nomination and election of Grover
Cleveland has made the nomination
of any American citizen to the Pres
idency respectable" and after speak
ing of the candidacy of General
Hancock he alluded to General Nc
Clellan as chat other ally of the
Confederacy." The insult to the
President and the imputation of dis
loyalty against Mcclellan and Han
cock were ancalled for and were IN
exceeding bad taste. Such talk is
unfit for the stump, let alone the
Senate Chamber. 1t deserves the
condemnation of every fair.mlnded
Republican.

out precedent, and the county committees
have heretofore uniformly fixed the mode
Of appointing their own delegates, the

is a low character, an

spoiled q good item, is the promptness
