Comment by the ST. AIbans Messenger.
The Montpelier Waterman of last week
devoted two columns in explanation of the
request made in the interest of Mr.. Page
for 1.-THE support of some gentlemen of in
fuence connected with the railroad inter
ests of the State Its published cores
pondence shows most conclusively that such
proposition was made, and substantially
as stated in Col Woodbury's letter, and
declined. 1t matters little whether the
proposal was made principally or Incl
dentally,n yet it would be interesting to
know what other matter of business was
considered at the interview. The fact re
mains that the Central Vermont railroad is
denounced by the Page organs because its
official management declined to accept an
invitation to support their candidate.
