PREFERENCE Fairly Merited.

The Troy Times, which has a large
circulation on the west side of the
State, and is well versed in Vermont
politics, thus speaks Of the guberna-
torial situation
Vermont will elect Governor Sep
TENDER 2, next, and the preliminary
canvass has actively begun. The
choice will of course beconfined to the
Republican party, for the rock-ribbed
old State has no idea of forsaking it's
political allegiance. The strife for the
nomination is lively, but good-natur-
ed. 1t is mainly between the friends
| of two gentlemen-Lieut.-G Gov. Urban
A Woodbury. and Hon. Carroll S.
Page of Hyde Park Both are highly
esteemed, and should the choice fall
on either the States interests will be
lodged in capable and worthy hands.
The News and Citizen, published in
in Lamoille County, has made COM
pilation from representative Republi-
can newspapers of Vermont, which
shows a strong predominance of SEN
timent in favor of Mr.. Page. This
preference is fairly merited by Mr.
Pages long and honorable record in
the service of his party and his State.
He is at present Chairman of the Re
publican State Committee, and his
energy, executive ability and splendid
leadership have been conspicuously
displayed in the campaigns conducted
under his direction. He has also been
secretary of the committee, and there
fore has the utmost familiarity with
the affairs of that body and the mi
nutest details of its work
From 1884 to 1888 Mr. Page was
Inspector of Finance for Vermont,
and in that office was watchful and
efficient guardian of the savings in
situations of the State and the well
fare of their depOsitors. Though still
a young man, he is a large and sue
cessful leather manufacturer, having
built up by his own enterprise and
industry an establishment which
stands among the foremost in the
country. He is an ardent believer in
Vermont's possibilities, devotes his
time and money to home interests
and is in all respects a live, progress
sive, useful man in his State-Just the
sort of man, in fact, that the Green
Mountain residents like to honor.

The First District.

AS was anticipated, the withdraw
al of Mr.. Stewart from the first Con-
oressionaI district contest has
brought out the names of numerous
candidates for the position. Judge
TEL. III. Powers of MOrrisville has al
ready been presented as a candidate,
and last week the Bennington Ban
ner formally presented the name of
Hon. James K. Batchelder of Airing
ton. The names of Hon. Henry Bal
lard of this city and Hon. c. III. Joyce
of Rutland have already been an
nounced. To this list should be adj
ded the name of ex-Goy. E. j. Orms-
bee of Brandon, and the Bennington
Reformer is authority for the state
ment that Mai. A. B. Valentine of
Bennington ''has been and is can
didate for this position" From SO
much good material the first district
will find no difficulty in selecting
competent man for the position
which has been so long and so honor
ably filed by Mr.. Stewart.
So far as the Free Press is con-
eerned, without saying disparag
ing word of the other candidates, We
shall give Judge Powers our cordial
support. His qualifications and EN-
inent fitness for. the place are I'M
questioned, and we are glad to note
that the present outlook is favor
able to his nomination and election.

From the United Opinion.

A few weeks ago we expressed the
opinion that Orange county would
be solid against promoting the Lieut.
enant-Governor, and that Hon. Car
roll S. Page would be the choice of
our delegation. Upon further inves-
tigation this feeling is strengthened
The State generally seems to occupy
the same position, as evinced by the
press and from reports coming from
prominent Republicans in different
sections of our commonwealth.
1t is unnecessary for us to waste
words regarding our candidate for
Governor. Mr.. Page is too well
known to require any extended no.
tice at our hands. He is a clean. self
poised, straightforward, talented
business man possessing great energy
coupled with remarkable executive
ability. His past record is sufficient
to guarantee that as chief magistrate
of our good State he would in every
way prove equal to the position. His
extensive acquaintance with men and
affairs would enable him to give us
an administration which would be
safe and dignified as well as brilliant.
We believe Mr.. Page will be the choice
of the coming State convention. His
acknowledged fitness for the place,
the spontaneity of the press in his be-
half and the general objection to the
idea of the nt-Governorship
being stepping stone to the guber-
material chair combining to bring
about this result. Below will be
found brief extracts from our State
exchanges relative to this question.
