this significant paragraph:

The State Treasnrershin.

lhe talk was started few weeks

state treasurership this year seems to
have subsided-for the reason, evident
ly,that it met with no popular response.
Ar. Dubois has performed the duties
OF the office with ability and fidelity.

and no cause for complaint has ever a.
risen. Our friends of the west side

There has been some little attempt
on the part of parties desiring the Of
flce, to make new State Treasurer
tins year; but so far the suggestion
ilnds little support. The services of
treasurer Dubois have been so faith
ful and acceptable all around that no.
body who has the interest of State in
mind VIII care to make a change in
the office on account of the desire of
some inexperienced person to take the
Monitor.
We are sorry to see an intima,ion
from any quarter of the State, or from
any Republican paper, suggesting any
change in the Office OF State Treasurer
other change may be made
among the leading State officers. there
certainly should be no change in this

Treasurer, is an honest, painstaking,
careful oilicial-not single reason can
be named why he should be removed.

no reason whatever for a change. Mr..

years, discharging its duties faithfully.

people of the State, and without the

lie Is just as honest and faithful a
State treasurer as was his predecessor
IN the office, Mr.. John A. Page. who

The office of State Treasurer is in no
iense political office, and there should
'e no change in it, unless for some
sood reason. The reasons all favor

County politics are beginning TO be

elected senator's this year. Questions
of the utmost importance to the farm

abilityand always voted and

Gently given currency to a report that
the gentleman in question offered a

amount to be made S400 if he secured

There is contamination in the touch Of

so upon a guarantee of 5000, to be

successful. Upon hearing this propo-
sition Mr.. Page wrote to the publisher
as follows:

The Montpelier Watchman appeared
on Wednesday going back on its entire
record for consistency in the treatment
of public questions by advocating the
retirement of Gen. Grout from Con-
gress and the election of Col. Hooker
in his place. Its reason for opposing
the return OF Gen. Grout is the weak
est and fiimsiest 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 Watchman saws he
should now step down and out because
he has been in Congress four terms.
and because, also, as we suppose. he
has just reached a.place and standing
where his ability is recognized. and
where he can do effective work for his
Vermont constituents and the country

The Congressional Canvass.

Only four short weeks win interven
before the holding of the Republican
District convention, and only thre
weeks before the holding of the caucus
es, when the choice Of delegates vii
practically settle the question Of Con
gresham. This being the case we hop,
and trust that every friend of Gen.
Grout, every one who believes in honol
and honesty in politics, every one who
wishes the District to be properly rep.
resented in Congress, will make the
most of the coming three weeks.
Gen. Grout's claims to reelection
are manifold. In the first place, he
has been faithful to his constituents.
No Congressman has ever been more
attentive to the wants and desires of
the people of his District +; and no Yer
monter, however humble, poor or
iriendless, has ever appealed to Gen.
Grout in vain. He has always been
ready TO listen to every petition and
wherever anything could be done for
the petitioner he has done it. In the
broader sense, too, he has been faithful
to his constituency, for his influence
and his vote have always been on the
right side through his whole Congress
sional career.
Gen. Grout has gained an honora-
BILE and respected position among his
associates of the House, and his career
has been one of ever-increasing credit.
As chairman of his present important
committee that on the district of Col
umbia) he has gained high credit as
an able. active and faithful Congress-
man; and we doubt not that if elected
to the next Congress he will be called
up higher. Finally, Gen. Grout is
man of unblemished character, of high
principle, of unexceptionable habits.
He reflects credit on his constituents
and he certainly never will disgrace
them.
There is no earthly reason, why Gen.
Grout should not be reelected, except
the single one that some one else wants
the place.
And that some one is Col. Geo. w. |
Hooker of Brattleboro.
From our point of view it is re-
proach to the people of Vermont that
person of Col. Hooker's character, an
ecedents and habits can ever aspire to
4 seat in Congress, and if he succeeds
N his aspirations it will be disgrace
o the state. Fortunately, the present
outlook is that the state viii be spared
his disgrace.-St. Johnsbury Repub-
lean.

The Windsor journal alleges as a
reason why Gen. Grout should not be
re-nominated that he voted against
New York for the Worlds Fair. Every
republican in Vermont ought to honor
him for voting as he did, not against
New York but against Tammany's
controlling the Fair and having the
handling of millions of money in a
presidential election. We wanted the
Fair held in New York, but had far
rather it be held in Chicago than in
New \ ork and controlled by Tammany,
as the republican leaders in New York
openly charged it would be, as the COM
mission was backed by Tammany.
:. The Watchman, which cannot bear
the idea Of having soldier for govern
or, came out last week for Col. Hook
er for Congress. Its sole reason for a
change was that Gen. Grout had had
it long enough, "and the office ought
to be passed around"
