tial campaign. Only democrats have
been employed on the building. Cuts
of the new federal building at Mont
pelier," sent all over the state three
years since, led people to believe that
the building was completed long ago,
and visitors to the capital, who have
since then impaired for it, have mani
tested great disgust when shown only
" a hole in the ground" and some-
times asked if it was being built under
ground. There was a conspicuous
need for a change, and it is right that
this Office should be the first to COM
mand the attention of the new admin
istration. George II. Guernsey, who
succeeds Mr.. Atkins, is a well-known
architect and builder. His appoint
ment to this Office is highly satisfactory
to all who know his ability for such a
work. He is business man and not a
politician. The work will go on under
him in business-like manner instead
of being devoted to serve party ends or

The Vermont Offices.

The Vermont delegation in congress
has carefully considered the case of the
applicants for federal offices in YER
mont and has decided to recommend
for collector of customs at Burlington,
G. G. Benedict; for United States dis
trict attorney, Frank Plumley of North
field; for United States marshal, Rollin
Amsden of Windsor; for bank exam
iner, Roswell Farnham of Bradford
The delegation concludes that the re-
raining officials should remain undis-
turbed for four years from the time they
began to occupy their respective offices,
provided they are efficiently performing
their duties. The Boston Journals
report of this meeting says:
One popularity of the meeting of this
delegation was that Senator Edmunds,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-04-10

who holds himself strictly aloof from pat
ronage, presided 1t is his rule not to in
dorse the papers of any applicant for office,
and to take the position that if the presi-
dent desires any information he will inform
the president of his views when he is asked.
But Mr.. Edmunds took part in these DELHI
erations, and, with the rest of the delegation,
went further than this. The states of YER
mont and New Hampshire constitute one
pension district Since these states were
placed in the new consolidated district the
pension agent has always been appointed
from New Hampshire The delegation
voted that the pension agent ought to be
selected from Vermont, and decided to
stand on that. A paper will be prepared
to be presented to the president, or to the
secretary of the interior, or to both, making
this claim. If the administration shall con-
cede this appointment to Vermont, then the
delegation will decide between the claims
of the applicants for this position. There
are two candidates-John G. Stearns of
Bradford and Ex-Governor Pngree of Hart
ford. Each of the applicants is said to have
filled fully one-half cord of good papers.
The delegation also decided that it would
recommend that the principle that incum-
bents shall be permitted to hold their offices
for four years shall also apply to the presi-
dental pc tmasters. This will continue
many of the presidential postmasters in
Office in that state for very considerable
period.
District-attorney Pitkin having re-
signed, Mr.. Plumley will be appointed
at once, but some time is likely tC
elapse before the other appointments
recommended will be made. Colonel
Smalley will not be superseded till
September. This action of the delega.
ton of the state holding peculiar rela
tions to President Harrison, and com
prising men like Senator Edmunds
chairman of the judiciary committee
and Senator Morrill,, chairman of the
finance committee, is significant, and is
regarded as indicating line of policy
in respect of appointments which the
president approves and will adopt.

THE New York World, that blatant,
mercenary and sensational organ of
the saloon democracy, published re-
Gently an alleged sketch of the life of
Ex-Governor Proctor from a especial
correspondent at Rutland. The ar
ticle was headed by s4ch legends as
" Proctor, too, Plutocrat," "The
Marble King who is Secretary of War
in the Millionaire Cabinet" "The
Railroad he Built with Imported
Pauper Labor" and other equally at
tractive sentiments. The garrulous
correspondent pirates about the gov
ernor's personal appearance somewhat
after the following strain: "The be-
nign visage and paternal demeanor of
Redfield Proctor, marble king, eX-
governor of Vermont and secretary of
war in Harrison's high-tariff and big
Doodle cabinet, are misleading. Gov
ernor Proctor's face is worth fortunes to
him in politics or business. Its apostolic
outlines divert attention from an eye
as piercing, calculating, far-seeing as a
hawks. 1t is at his face value that
the rest of the country takes Governor
Proctor. Here in Vermont they meas
ure him by his eye, and they say his
history is written there. 1t is dense
history, too" After telling how Proc
tor traded Vermont's vote at the
Chicago convention for a cabinet
place, the writer goes on to depict his
career in such a way as to lead casual
reader, unacquainted with the honora-
BILE record of the secretary of war and
the universal esteem in which he is
held throughout the state, to infer that
he was possessed with an Unsuitable
appetite for the filthy lucre, and that
his life had been one series of grabs
and clutches after that fleeing article.
The sensational dispatch is in all re-
spects worthy of the sheet in which it
appeared. If the World wishes to
curry favor with the democracy of
Vermont it would do we'll to try
another tack, as every loyal citizen,
democrat or republican, will Indignantly
resent any reflections upon the charac-
ter of the states cabinet representative.
