Some little time was given the bill incorpo-

by provsos which make imperative the consent
OF the District Commissioners as to the route
and the character Of the electric motor to be
used on the road. The amended bill was or

That Interview.

Hon. Charles T. Marsh, in his published
letter relating to his endeavor to enlist the
Central Vermont railroad management for
Mr.. Page for governor, denies various
things which have not been charged by
anybody lie does not deny that after Il
conference with MIR. Page, he sought an in
tervicw with Gov. Smith, in the interest of
Mr.. Pages candidacy. Nobody supposes
that Mr.. Marsh said or did anything i'll the
course of the interview or explanation, or
negotiation in his friends behalf that was
net square and honorable; anl nobody, 50
far rs we are aware, has intimatel that Mr.
Marsh was in Mr.. Pages pay 1t would
have been all right, no doubt, If he had
been.
The only questions Of any public interest
in the matter are whether Mr.. Page de
sired and tried TO get the support of the
Central road, and whether, having desired
and tried to get that support he can success
! fully pose as an anti-railroad candidate.

Seeking a Remedy.

In answer to the often repeated question,
What is the remedy for the state Of things
brought about by the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court regarding liquor shipments,
the court itself points il out in the decision
rendered when it says:
The responsibility is upon Congress, so far as
fine regulation Of inter state commerce is con-
Gerued. TO remove the restrictions upon the
state in dealing with imported articles Of trade
within its limit which have not been mingled
with the common mass Of property therein. it,,
IN it, judgment, the end to be secured justiiies
md require such action.
Congress will doubtless meet the require
monts OF The case. Congressman Boutelle
Of Maine Ia. already introduced an amend
ment to the inter State commerce law, pro-
viding "that nothing contained in this act
shall he construed 10 authorize the sale or
traffic in Intoxicating liquors in any State
contrary to tbs laws thereof" This amend
ment is well received not only by Congress
but by the press of the country as well,
both high license and prohibition papers ap-
proving it. The amendment should be
promptly passed.

prejudice or feeling which may exist, and
which it is trying TO foster, among the

Bafer as governor, than the man who never

he has no railroad interest or connection
which could conflict with the paramount
interests of the people Of Vermont. Can

not. the latter is in a sense railroad man,
that is lie is director in one of the roads OF

has no interest in any railroad, he will

Orleans County, May 70, 1890.
From the Windsor Journal.

The supporters of Mr. Pages candidacy
are still engaged in setting up stacks of
straw" and knocking them down. 1t is n
harmless occupation, and tends in no way
to strengthen his position before the people,
who are not, aud will not be misled by so
called vindications, refutations and deniais.
They recognize full well that most, ii not
all the charges against Mr.. Page, accredited
to Mr.. Woodbury. and his friends, are in re-
atty the concOction of solemn Page CON
claves sent forth with the hope of gaining
sympathy and support for his waning cause.
His lieutenants avail themselves of every
twist and turn known to a willy politician,
and under his directions, in the vain at
tempt to blind the eyes of the public. They
point to the long array of the newspapers
both in and out of the State, supporting
MIR. Page, but fail to tell the whole truth
by adding that in large majority of cases
those papers do not express the sentiment of
the communities in which they live. They
look with wry faces upon Mr.. Woodbury. S
empty sleeve, and his noble, patriotic record
as citizen soldier, and hope to beguile the
people with false issues. They cry them
selves hoarse, shrieking ring candidate,
state-house candidate, railroad can
didate, customs house candidate, hoping
that AMID the am and noise OF
their cries, and the beating of their tom
toms, the oft-repeated and rejected solicita-
tions Of their favorite, his literary bureau,
ana his peculiar, if not questionable,
methods OF conducting his canvass, may
escape notice and consideration. They
make an issue of calf-skins, hoping to de-
ceive the farmers. Declaring that Mr.
Woodbury's war record ought not to be
taken into consideration, they speak of pa
triotism instilled in the hearts Of the young
by raising flags over school houses, hoping
to deceive old soldiers. They present a
beautiful picture of iiial tenderness and So
licitude, appealing to the hearts and senti-
ment of all, but draw the veil over that
part Of the picture complete, which brings
to light the accumulation of riches in the
dark days and sorrowful moments of ma
ton ; trouble. But when all is said ant
done they will have deceived no one.
The people recognize the true situation, and
in due time viii place their stamp of approva
upon the patriotic public-spirited, soldier
citizen record, rather than upon that of {
crafty politician, by making Urban y
Woodbury. the next governor of Vermont.

LIE GOVERNOR QUESTION.
How it strikes an Orleans County Man.
N, l.. u 4

How it strikes an Orleans County Man.
TO the Editor of the Free Press
Upon reading the communication from
Windsor county correspondent in your last
weekly issue, | was struck with the similar
ity of the letter copied by him to one Mr.
Page wrote to neighbor of mine here in
Orleans county. They are almost exact
counterparts of each other. Others in the
town where | reside have also received let
ters from Mr.. Page asking their assistance
for his candidacy for governor. Mr.. Page
may be an expert politician, but If he is, his
anxiety for the Office has overcome his
ability in wire pulling, for certainly no
selt-respccting person will be influenced in
his favor by such methods rs ho is using in
his frantic cndeavor to procure tho highest
Office III theState. 1t is veryevident that some
of the democratic editors have been appre-
ciated by somebody. Chase of the Vermont
Union don't come out square toed for Page,
| hut his paper contains lots of extracts from
other papers booming him, and as Windsor
county truly says the mails are filed with
documents eulogisng Page, and why If
| MIR. Page is such a perfect man for COVER
nor he has lived in the State long enough
so the people would know it. As his canvass
! is being conducted it looks on the face of it
as though Mr.. Page and his friends consid-
cred him weak candidate, requiring a
| great deal of bolstering and indicating.

Tho Original Package Discussion.
Regarding the United States Supreme
Court liquor -ln -orignal- packages decision,
and the discussion sast it has occasioned, a
Washington despatch says that a strong
effort is being made to have Congress pass
as early as possible bill to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of alcoholic liquors into any
State or territory in violation Of local laws.
Several bills have been introduced, and are
now pending, intending to cover,fShis sub
ject. An amendment is also pending in the
Senate to the interstate commerce law. to
which we have before referred prohibiting
the transportation of Intoxicating liquors
into any state contrary to local law.
There are several prominent senator's who
hold that Congress cannot constitutionally
enact a law interfering with imported
liquors, There are many others how
ever who differ with them on this
question: while the Supreme Court
in its recent decision plainly intimated that
the responsibility is upon Congress, SO far
rs the regulation Of Interstate commerce is
concerned to remove the restrictions upon
the State in dealing with imported articles
of trade within its limits. The question be
| comes of increasing Importance every day.
| Senator Wilson Of Iowa, an able lawyer
and a member of the judiciary committee,
| contends that the Supreme Court decision
| practically robs the States of all police
| power and control over the liquor traffic,
| removing even the scant barriers of license.
Congress cannot long delay taking this
| subject under consilorot ion

Governor Question.
From the Fairhaven Record. !

To the Record; The governor question
in this State, outside the contest made at
the republican State convention, is all one
sided. The one idea with which a work
ingman is therefore, concerned, is, which Of
the candidates that may come before the
convention can he support. Can he support
any The man who is ready with his money
and fair promises, is the man upon whom
every honest citizen should look with sus-
picion The corporation king whose record
has been to rob labor of its just dues and
thereby demOralize the laborer himself
should receive the consure instead of the
support of every right minded man. The
two prominent candidates before the people
at this time in the republican party are
Carroll S. Page and Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury..
As nearly as we can get at it, the former
gentleman has in very suspicious man
uer, gotten control of the larger por-
tiOn of the State press, and also smiles
serenity upon large corporations, while, at
the same time, he is anxious to pose as the
poor farmers and workingman's friends,
But this idea will not 90 down with the
people. No man can 3serve two masters,
and no honest man would attempt to do so.
AS near as we can find out Mr.. Woodbury.,
SO far has not used these tactics to get the
nomination. To tell the truth, as far as We
can learn, he has fallen back upon his rec
ord as n soldier and his integrity as ar
American citizen. He favors all just meas
ures that bear equally upon capital and
labor, and promises nothing further. Then
which of these two gentlemen stand in the
best light, judge yeS
