We publish the letter of James @.
Blaine, notifying the Republican Ma
tional committee and the country that
his name will not be presented as a
candidate at the Republican conven-
ton. Nothing has produced so great
a political sensation during the year.
The thousands of friends and admir-
ers of Mr.. Blaine receive the an
nouncement with regret and disap-
pointment, while others believe it
will be beneficial to the party. The
democrats will breathe easier and
Mugwumps will have opportunity to
return to their old party, or to drop
off their masks and show themselves
as free traders. While there were a
few elements of weakness in Mr..
Blaine as a candidate, there is no man
in the broad country in either party,
that would arouse the enthusiasm of
men like Blaine. There is no man
either who better understands the
things of government and the gene
raj business of the country than James
G. Blaine. AS compared with Presi-
dent Cleveland, David B. Hill or any
man the Democrats are liable to NOM
mate, he is as a giant to dwarf.
As was stated in the Journal recent
", Mr.. Blaine 'has stepped down,
but not out" If he is on the stump
during the next canvass, he will 60
through the country with wave OF
influence and popularity such as no
man ever saw in this country. Read
the comments of the Mirror and
Farmer on Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal.

The State Convention.

The convention at Montpelier OF
Wednesday was representatlv of tn
best republicans in the state, land coulC
scarcely have been more enthusiast
if it had occurred in the height of {
campaign. The republicans of the
state are alive to the fact that they
stand in the font and must lead in
the grand contest of the year, that is
to restore the party power in the ma
| ton. The movement for the forma-
ton of clubs and for putting the par
ty in train for victory worthy to be
classed with our best efforts, has de-
veloped a momentum astonishing to
the most ardent among its promoters.
Seventy-seven clubs were present by
their delegates, every county in the
state being represented.
The convention was opened with
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Hicks of Mont
pelier.
Guy c.. Noble of st. Albans, Ver-
mont member of the executive COM
mittee of the National League, gave
at some length the history and OBJ
iects of the club movement and closed
by naming Col. Geo. w. Hooker as
temporary president of the conven-
ton. Col. Hooker was greeted with
rousing applause and made ringing
good speech on taking the chair.
W. w. Stickney of Ludlow was
made secretary and M. j. Harring-
ton of Orwell assistant, when the
temporary organization was made
permanent.
A committee of one from each
county was appointed to present res
olutions and committee of one from
each county to report a constitution
and officers for a state league, after
which an adjournment was had for
dinner.
Assembling after noon the commit
tee on resolutions reported by rec
ommending the adoption of the plat
form of the National League, leav-
ing it for the regular state organiza-
ton to formulate the platform of the
party in the state. The committee
on a permanent organization report
ed a constitution which was adopted
and the following officers, who were
unanimously elected.
President, Redfield Proctor of Proc
tor.

of Stowe, Julius j. Estey of Brattle-
boro, Josiah Grout of Derby.
Secretary, Charles S. Forbes of St.

doris of the House wing. The West
ern Union Telegraph Company ha,
leased, for stock jobbing purposes
private wires, communicating direct
ly between the Capitol and certain
stock brokers offices in Washington
and New York. The speaker no
only ordered the Western Union &
cut off every wire that was not fol
public use, but he ordered those who
had established themselves in little
telegraph or telephone offices of their
own to clear out instantly, and he or
dered the architect Of the Capitol to
pull them down ana have them re-
moved.
When last questioned as TO the
progress made on the coming tariff
bill by the Ways and Means commit
tee, Chairman Mills replied that they
were going slow for the reason that
it was such an important subject.
There is danger of treading on some
committee mans toes at every turn,
and they are determined, so they say,
not to do anything rash, not to re-
port bill containing an attack on
any special industries, for that might
defeat the very object the majority
hope TO attain. Everybody must be
conciliated. Said the chairman, "we
want the work of this committee TO
stand the assault of the enemy, and
we are building our structure accord
ingly."
1t was on Friday that the presi-
dent of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, Mr.. Huntington, appeared
before the House committee to give
his views upon pending legislation
touching those roads. He informed
the committee that he had nothing TO
apologize for, nothing to take back
he only wanted to see an arrange
ment by which the government would
get its money without Gripping the
road. He stated that the organizers,
Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins,
Charles Croker and himself, built
the Central Pacific by borrowing
money on their own individual names,
not on the credit of the government.
The road was poor and Away has
been.
A committee man asked if the four
men were now poor. "The four gen
tlemen have grown rich" Mr.. Hunt
ington replied, "'but they owe it TO
themselves. We have taken nothing, |
we have created values. We all be- |
gan poor" He said that he started
work on a Connecticut farm at 81 a
month, and at the end of the month |
lad the 81. He thought that all the
Central Pacific owed the government
should be put into 250 semi-annual
payments, which would bring it into
shape the road could meet. He said
lis company would like to pay all they
owed now, but they were poor and
could not do it.
He did not think it advisable TO
brow the road on the market and
,ell it, no other civilized government
would do such a thing; but the Unit
ID States government was a peculiar
me it exacted everything and paid
At another time he said, in
burst of OCCIDENTAL passion, that,
n fact, the Central Pacific did not
we the government anything.

1t is stated that Col. Hardy has
ceased work on the Gulf & Ship
island road for the present. The
management seems unable to pro-
coed for want of funds. A county
on the line refused to aid the road
which appeared to be the immediate
cause of stopping the work and is
likely to cause the return of the
States elephant = the convicts - to
the original owner
From q private letter We have
another version, which we give for
what it is worth. 1t is to the effect,
that the Board of Control has can
celled the lease of convicts to the G..
& S 1. road on account of persistent
ill-treatlnent of convicts. If the
letter is correct the Board of Control
begin to show some justification for
its creation.

GENTLEMEN -
In answer to yours of the SOth
ult. have to say that | am surpris-
ed at the report mentioned by you,
and must attribute its circulation to
willful malice, as it has no founda-
ton in fact. So far from supporting
this Bill introduced II. b No. 1872
10 opposition to it and urged its
passage in speech, BUTT was de-
feated. This Think was due to the
confusion usual just before adjourn
ment; and to the fact that the other
bill was reported by the Ways and
Means Committee; had its powerful
support; and was not properly con-
sidered by the House. l never did
believe that the Legislature could
equal,zc assessments of property and
give satisfaction. But on the con-
trary, my idea is that every mans
property should be assessed at az
mon ntue, without regard to his
neighbours and my bill was aimed in
this direction, and designed to Sc,
cure the just assessment Of the
property of all taxpayers, and thus
equaitze the burden of taxation.
l have the bill I offered, now il
my possession and have also letters
from members OF the House, receiv.
ed since my return commencing il
and regretting its failure to pass.
The bill that did pass is copied
from a law of 1910, and after on,
assessment was made under it, i
was repealed without a Dissenting
vote, and l predict similar fate fol
the present law.
Yours Respectfully,
j. II. JONES.
