From the edition of Geo. 2. Row.

twentieth Year, it appears that the
Newspapers and Periodicals of all
kinds issued in the United States and
Canada, now number 1870, show

months and of 7,l36 in 10 years.
The publishers of the Directory as

culation, he does not generally tel
the truth is an erroneous one; ant
they conspicuously offer a reward o
500 for every instance in their boo

Thousands of Republicans in Ver-

that matter, will regret the withdraw
al of Hon. B. d. Harris from the
gubernatorial field, especially after
reading his able, dignifed and mag
unanimous letter of declination adj
dressed to Hon G. G. Benedict, to
be found in another column. 1t bears
no trace of demagogy but treats the
questions concerning the general wei
fare and that lie near to the hearts O
the common people in such a clear
honest and straight forward name
that no intelligent citizen but can say

ire not little reluctant of expressing

are not a little reluctant of expressing
themselves upon the subject, The
number of "talked of" candidates is
not half so great as it was two months
ago and the race, if there is to be any
contest, is surely narrowing down to
its proper proportions. Available
candidates are plenty enough but the
WAYS and means of bringing them be-
fore the people seem to be puzzling
their friends. Hon. B. ID. Harris of
Brattleboro is mentioned with much
favor by many in this section That
he would make an able governor and
discharge the duties of the office with
honesty, fidelity and independence
cannot be denied. He is in every
way fitted for the position and would
fill the office with credit to himself
and honor to the state. If there are
any disturbing elements in the party
or any dividing influences that will
tend toward discord or strife in the
republican ranks, the nomination OF
Mr.. Harris would be the signal fo
the cooperation and harmonious &C
ton of all factions. Perhaps no MAJ
in Vermont would poll a larger re
: publican vote next September thai

We say this without meaning t
disparage the ability or acknowledge

Capturing the Caucus.

A good while ago the SITTER said,
substantially, that if the ''wiley old
Governor" could have what he want
ed by marching up in a straight line
and taking it he would be nonplussed
because he would much rather take it
in round about way. The applica-
ton was also extended to other par
ties-these follows that never fail to
sneeze when the old boss takes snuff
How happily this was illustrated the
other evening in Brattleboro the rea-
