The Montpelier Waterman appeared on
wednesday going back on its entire record
for consistency in the treatment of public
questions by advocating the retirement Of

wenkest and fimsiest one in the whole list
that he has been in Congress "long
enough His ability and faithfulness are
conceded and emphasized-but in spite Of
them the Waterman says he should now
step down aud out because he has been in
Congress four terms, and because. also as
we suppose, he has Just reached place and
standing where his ability is recognized
and where he can do effective work for his
Vermont constituents and for the country
at large
