like Mr.. Page and regard him as a good
business man; he has been very successful
in the use of printers ink but advertising
in business is one thing, tho sounding of
ones praises and fitness for Office is another;
it is so evident that many of the papers
quoted from were inspired by the sage of
Hyde Park at about the same time and
under the same circumstances, that all com
bned have the weight of the News and Cit
izcn, simply.
What's the matter with Col. Woodbury. !?
Does he lack in honesty, integrity, admin
strative capacity and large business expert
once All concede his eminent fitness for
the position of governor. Is there any
force to the non-promotion cry Of his oppo-
nents friends? If so, it has not been stated
and the people will not be frightened by a
shadow. Let us honor tho brave soldier
and honor ourselves hy nominating and tri-
umphantly electing him.

they add that he is by practice as well a

endorsement was unnecessary. to any one

glad the doubt as to tine hotels has been
thus early settled, because it relieves tn,

To the Editor Of the FREQ Press;

TO the Editor Of the FREQ Press;
The Windsor journal in recent issue
gave some excellent reasons for supporting
L. :. Woodbury. for governor. There
is sound sens. in assuming that tina iieuten-
-governorship should not bar q man
from being governor. Think o. tho alb
,urIity of this rule" Think of the abso-
lutte ab>urlity of any "rulo." just 50 soon
as the voters of Vermont tie themselves
down to particular practice just then in
dependence is lost. one newspaper claims
that nominating Mr.. Woodbury. will he an
afrront to Lieut. Gov. Fuller. How
ridiculous. Let every man sand
or fall for himself. Let the question Of fit
ness and personal worth control the julg
ment Of the party. No one denies liz
Pages exc .llcnt business ability, or that he
would make a good governor. But Mr.,
Woodbury's friends clam superior qualiti-
cation, for th9r candidate, that is all.
Woodbury's army record should count very
much for him. Patriotism is something
that should be cherished 1t should be hald
up before our children as something parti-
cularly sacred This is the way to perpet-
uatc our nationality. \,
