NOTE AND COMMENT.

John G.. Carlisle, eX-speaker of the
House of Representatives, has been elect
ed Senator to succeed the late Mr.. Beck.
Dealers in "original packages" are
opening places of business in several
States, including Pennsylvania, Iowa
and Massachusetts, and in Iowa a move
ment is on foot for imposing license on
such dealers.
The Republican State committee has is
sued notice suggesting that the date of
primaries for choosing delegates to the
State convention be Saturday. June H..
The committee also announces that dele
gates will be carried by the railroads for
fare one way.
The Hardwick Gazette say that the
denomination of Secretary of State Por-
ter sis extremely doubtful. He has very
evidently out-lived his usefulness in the
position which he now holds, if the op-
inion of those with whom he comes in
contact is of any value"
The report comes from Bennington
able to carry his own town of Arlington.
That's hardly credible, rs town pride will
in all probability give him the delegation.
The fact that such reports are circulated.
and to some extent believed, is significant
as showing how little faith is felt in Mr..
Batchelder's campaign even where he
should be strongest.
The officers of the Republican State
league have issued an address calling a
convention of the league clubs at Mont
peler at the close of the State conven-
ton, June 10, for the purpose of electing
officers of the league for the coming
biennial term and to take measures for
reviving the clubs for work in this years
campaign. Col. I. NJ. Chapman is the
vice president of the league for this
county.
Major Grout is in the field for COVER
nor, according to the Free Press. There
is also talk of State Auditor Powell as a
compromise candidate. Windsor county
comes to the front with no less than
three candidates for the lieutenant-gov-
ernorship, Hon. II. A. Fletcher, Hon. NJ.
Q. Perkins and Hon. F. G.. Field, while
Caledonia county has one in the person
of Hon. ii. C.. Ide of st. Johnsbury, a
brilliant and capable man. Hon. Henry
F. Field of Rutland is announced as a
candidate for treasurer. The outlook is
that the State convention will be much
more interesting gathering than it is
sometimes.

ed, it is perfectly safe for intelligent
people to suspend Judgment till they OBJ
tain information from other and more
reliable sources than our Rutland con-
temporary. The truth is that the Batch
elder cohorts are relying almost wholly
upon bluff and brag as ammunition, and
the Herald is the principal organ of this
policy. 1t might have been and proba-
bly, was the editor of that sheet whom
the poet had in mind when he wrote:
"For the snake liar and the fish liar and the
horse liar own his sway,
And the easy going liars who work by the job,
and the liars who work by the uay;
The travelling liar old inhabitant lar, and
liars of low degree,
And liars who lie for the fun OF the thing, and
liars who lie tor fee.
"The horse liar, the peach crop liar, the sea
serpent liar, and all
With their wide untraveed wastes of cheek
and their soulless seas OF gall
All bend the knee to the sceptred sway OF
this crowned and peerless one,
Ana the father of lies looks tenderly down
on his most accomplished SOM!
The friends of Judge Powers can see
now with what they have to contend:
and they should wake up, if they have
not already done so, and work.

CLEAN UP.

The wisdom of general clearing up
and cleaning up of vaults, cellars and
yards cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the residents of this village. and it
is to be hoped that those householders
who have not had the WORK done will set
about it at once. 1t seems to be good
year for making thorough business OF
removing all sources of possible disease.
Diphtheria is prevalent in Cornwall and
Weybridge, and there is no telling how
soon it may appear here. For this rea-
son, and on the score of healthfulness as
well, it is the part of prudence to get rid
of whatever may breed disease or add to
its virulence should an epidemic break

Too LATE.

The governorship fight has taken ON
new phase this week, the name of Chief
Justice Royce of st. Albans having been
proposed. But the friends of Messrs.
Page and Woodbury. are not disposed to
feel alarmed over it. In the first place.
Mr.. Royce has distinctly said through
the columns of his home paper that he
would not be a candidate and, in the sec
ond place, it is extremely improbable that
at this late stage in the game any third
man, however well known or highly es-
teemed, would be able to win. Ninety
nine out of hundred of the politicians
and most of the rank and file who care a
straw about politics are adherents of Ell
ther Mr.. Woodbury. or Mr.. Page, and they
will not throw up their allegiance at any
ones say-so.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

A drowning accident of so deplorabfe
a character as that of Wednesday even
ing seldom occurs. Lena Russell. the
n-years-old daughter of Mrs. Russell,
and granddaughter of Mr. J. NJ. Peck,
was found drowned in the cistern few
minutes after eight o'clock. The family
live in the Russell house on Seymour
street, which is owned by Gov. Stewart
The cistern is just outside the woodshed
door and is surmounted by curb about
two feet in height. The child was last
seen between six and seven o'clock in
the evening. Not appearing at the ac-
customed time, a fruitess search for her
was made. Finally her dolls carriage
was discovered near the cistern and this
led to the finding of the body. She had
probably fallen in at least an hour be-
fore.
Mrs. Russell is widow and since the
death of her husband she and her two
daughters, Lena and Lillian, the latter
now Il years of age, have resided with
Mr.. and Mrs. Peck. Mrs. Russell has
been for a few weeks past employed in
the Lake Dunmore House and was there
on Wednesday. A team was sent for
her and she arrived home at one o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t is needless TO
say that the stricken family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the whole com
munity. The funeral will be held at the
house at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.

A CAMPAIGN OF GALL.

If evidence were needed of the unfit
ness of the Bennington county candidate
for the high Office to which he aspires, it
would be afforded by the character of the
campaign waged in his behalf and un-
der his direction. The real point at is
sue. and the only one of the slightest
consequence, as all sensible men are
fully aware, is simply this, Which of the
two men will make the better member
of Congress? No man of sound sense,
who looks the matter squarely In the
face and takes into account the charac-
ter and antecedents of the two candi-
dates, can hesitate for moment before
declaring for Judge Powers. That this
is the fact the friends of Mr.. Batchelder
seem to understand, and so they attempt
by every possible means TO obscure the
point and to RAISE all manner of false
issues. 1t is averred by them that Ben
nington county is entitled to the Office
claim that is plainly without founda-
ton unless Bennington county can
prove that it has the better man, which
it cannot do that Judge Powers i need
ed on the bench-but he ought to be able
to decide that question better than any
one else; and, finally, it is asserted that
7 two-thrds of the district is enthusiast tic
/ in its devotion to the cause of Mr..
Batchelder. 1t is this last aspect of the
campaign to which we wish particular
. " to call attention, as it is that which is
most likely to mislead those who do not
understand the true inwardness of the
situation. The authority for the facts
relative to the ''enthusiasm' manifested
for Mr.. Batchelder is chiefly the Rutland
Herald, which printed on Friday last a
lot of communications from various
towns in the district, including one from
Middlebury. The burden of them was
that Mr.. Batchelder is the favOrite of
the multitude in every corner and crevice
of western Vermont from the Massachu-
setts line to the Dominion border. Now
we do not possess personal knowledge
of the true state of things outside of
this county, but we do know that the
communication from this place was en-
tirely erroneous. The majority of the
statements made were untrue, and il
was perfectly clear that the writer was
either imposed upon or wilfully en-
deavored to humbug readers of the
Herald. Such being the case so far as
Middlebury and this county is concern
