From the New York Mail and Express.l
For the past few weeks there has been a
rapid development of the most intelligent
and unselfsh Republican sentiment in favor
of the selection of free and unpledged dele
cations TO the Chicago Convention. There
is a growing unanimity of Republican con
viction that the party has reached crisis
in its history and destiny, when the Ma
tional Convention should be a deliberative
and representative body, containing the
ablest leaders who can be induced to serve
as delegates and utterly unamenable to the
control of small politicians. In this state
and in Pennsylvania these ideas have found
very earnest expression by leading Repub-
lican newspapers and by Republican lead
ers. In New England, and especially in
Vermont, there have been even more de
cided movements toward calling the fore
most Republicans TO serve as delegates.
The reply of Senator Edmunds TO this sug-
gestion, so far as he is concerned, is SO
strongly and convincingly in the line of our
own expressions as to the peculiar need of
strong and independent delegations that
We welcome the support which his letter
gives to this policy.

The postmasters of New York state have
received circulars, indorsed by Public Print
er Benedict and Assistant Secret airy of the
Treasury Maynard as references, request
ing them to forward to Washington as soon
as possible the names of all voters who re
ceive mail at their offices, designating them
according to their political affiliations. The
reason given for this request is that the
names are desired for the purpose of dis
tributing documents and papers discussing
the political questions and issues which are
now attracting public attention. Section
IA Of the civil service law says
That no officer, clerk or other person in the ser
vice Of the United States shall, directly or ndi-

From the Rutland Herald
The Massachusetts senate, by the casting
vote Of President Boardman, has refused
to pass the bill allowing women TO vote on
the question Of licensing the sale of liquor
Senator Sprague made the statement that
49, 900 women in Boston are directly Deepen
dent upon the sale of liquor, and so would
vote for license, but it turns out that less
than five per cent of the licenses are Ia
women. And as for other women here is
a resolution passed by the national associa-
ton of brewers

On the same subject as the above Senator
Morrill, writes;
II have always hitherto declined any position
as delegate to such a convention for the reason
that have felt that members Of the House and
Senate ought not to thrust their opinions upon
their constituents about matters upon which the
people Of the state were just fully qualified To
judge as their senators and representatives here.
Besides all this there are many eminent Rcpubli-
cans in our state whose judgment and intelligence
in relation to the selection Of candidates for Pres
ident aud Vice President Of the country would be
equal to that of any member Of Congress, and the
candidates presented by them would be as assur-
eIly supported by the Republicans of the state as
they would he if selected by any other parties
OF course should dislike to decline any service
that M light be put upon me 10y the people of my
state; at the same time cannot see that it is my
duty TO accept the position suggested"
