2nd Dist. Congressional Convention.

The Convention to nominate cam
didate for Congressman from this dis
trict will meet at Montpelier on We'd
nesday, June 18th, as we learn by a
special dispatch from Montpelier.
This opens the campaign.
There is only one avowed candidate
seeking the office, Col. Geo. w. Hook
er of Brattleboro, prince among good
fellows, bright, capable, energetic
man with national reputation.
Gen. w. w. Grout, the present
faithful and hard-working representa-
tive. while not candidate, would ac-
cept denomination if the people de-
sire his further services, but will not
make canvass for it. As to his
standing in Congress one has only to
read the leading republican papers of
Boston and New York, all of which
call him one of the most useful and
best members of the House.
In case it should appear that the
people do not desire to re-nominate
Gen. Grout, we understand that Wash
ington county win present the name Of
a man who has made a record as one
of the ablest platform speakers in the
country, the Republican State commit
tee of Mich. stating that he was the
most effective speakers they employed
during the last presidential campaign.
We refer to Hon. Frank Plumley of
Northfeld. He has decided ability, is
a thorough temperance man, and one
whose integrity of character and pur-
pose has never been questioned. We
believe the interests of the State and
district can be best promoted by return
ing Gen. Grout, and if not him then
Mr.. Plumley.
The general opinion throughout the
district, among well informed men, is
that no change will be made this year.
When a change is made we should send
q strong. able man.

Text Books Again.

The discomfort among the people
concerning the change in text books is
growing. Royalton has recently voted
not to use the books authorized, while
Tunbridge has called a special town
meeting TO consider whether it viii
use those recommended or not.
In view of the early meeting Of the
Legislature and the prospect that the
law may be repealed, it would seem
the wisest course for every town to re-
fuse to use the new text books till after
the Legislature meets, for, if the law
is repealed, or free text books are vot-
ed, as many think they will be all
money now spent for new books will
be thrown away. BY refusing to use
the new books till after the Legislature
meets the old books will be used only
one term longer.

Patronize Home Merchants.

1t is a good time TO remember and
act upon the old motto, s'Patronize
home industries" The town has been
full this spring of agents, runners and
peddlers, selling their wares in opposi-
ton to home merchants and gathering
in as much money as they could in a
brief sojourn and then going to some
other town TO try the same tactics
Our regular merchants, who summer
and winter with us, who pay taxes,
help to build up the town, are enti-
tied to the entire patronage OF
the people of this community; and
there is sufficient competition here in
all lines of trade to assure the public
that our merchants sell at as small a
profit as business can be profitably
conducted on honest frst-class goods.
The above clipped from the Rutland
Telegram win apply with equal force
to nearly every town. Trade with the
men who help support your schools,
highways, churches, etc. Trade with
men whom You can find if goods are not
as represented, and who viii make
them good.

Time for House Cleaning.

In 1867, just after the war, while
values were inflated, and there were
extraordinary bills of many kinds to
meet, Vermont's expenses were only
S279,O00 year. Since then they
have continued to swell steadily except
for brief period af,er 1880, when un-
der the vigorous exposures of the Re-
former aided by few other state pa
pers, some progress was made toward
devout economy. But within the
last two or three years the old ways
have been returned to, and the state of
affairs is worse than ever before.
The corporation tax-law which was
expected to very nearly pay all our
state expenses, is practically wasted as
things 60 now. Last year more than
enough to properly support the govern
ment, S343, ,914.22 was raised by the
grand list tax, in addition to the corpo-
ration tax.
Add to this s343, 900, the corpora
tion tax amounting to over s400, 700,
then add to this the large income from
the Huntington fund for the support of
schools and the total is well toward a
million dollars that has gone into the
state treasury within year.
Isn't it about time to stop this sort

Characteristic.

The Montpelier Watchman last week
hattered itself that it had sent the
'sCentral Vermont canard" after those
about the fight to Canada and about
cheap calf skins, all to the confusion
ofthe promotionists. Col. Woodbury.
frankly admitting he is the bride-elect
of the Central Vermont in this years
politics, made himself responsible for
the statement that Mr.. Page had Woo
ed the same power but in vain. The
colonel told in his recent letter to the
Burlington Free Press how an "attor-
ney" for Mr.. Page from the east side
OF the state was last fall pursuing Gov.
Smith with solicitations of support.
The st. Albans Messenger, speaking
for Smith and the Central management
confirmed the statement. The Watch
man heard thet Judge G.. p. Marsh of
Woodstock was the ''attorney" refer
red to, and wrote to him inquiring a
bout it. Mr.. Marsh replies that all
there is to it is that he happened to
meet Page at the Quincy house, Bos-
ton, last fall, and in the course of their
conversation, while mentioning men
who would support him, Page said
that he did not suppose he should have
the support of the Central folks, be-
cause he had understood that they
were offended at his opposition to the
selection of Col. Geo. L. Childs to pre-
side over the last Republican state con-
vention-an opposition which he made
for the good of the party, because he
did not think it judicious to go into
either Of the Franklin county factions.
Judge Marsh says he then volunteered
to explain TO Smith and the others the
reasons for Pages action in this mat
ter, not as an attorney, but as a mutu-
al friend, and that he did so ''inciden-
tally to other business" and without
any teasing for support. When he
made the offer he says Page said ex-
plicitly that "He would not, even for
the sake of being governor, tie his
hands in any way, or pledge subservi-
ency to any interest"
Now let's hear from Col. Woodbury.
and the Messenger. Is this all there
is of it, or has the whole Central gang
been lying in its representations about
it?
You have got your canvass on to
way down low level, gentlemen, and
one that tempts decent citizens to in
woke ''plague on both your houses"

Vermont history than this succession

Tine Great Issue in the state Campaign.

The one great question that over
shadows all Others in the coming cam
paign is that of reduction in State ex-
penses. The people must see to it
that men are elected to every Office,
especially the senators and representa-
tives, who are pledged to vote no ap-
preparation that is not absolutely need
ed. Not dollar more must be squan-
dered on bridges. public buildings, etc.
Rigid economy must be the watchword
or deserted farms viii be more numer-
Gus than now. We are glad to see
the state press taking up the matter in
earnest. The Woodstock Standard
well says:
Something must be done, and that
soon to stop the Increase and to curtail
our state expenses, or there will be
more abandoned farms in Vermont
than there are to-day, for the reason
that the people will be unable to pay
their taxes and live and educate their
children. In the four years from SO
to'90 the state expenses amounted to
81 ,55l PA this is over $500, 1000
greater than the expenditures from 'S2
to 'S6 and exceeds by s423,000 the
disbursements for the four years pre-
ceding the enactment of the corporation
tax law-covering the years 1873 to
1882. And this does not tell the
whole story. Our state expenses have
about doubled in ten years, without
any corresponding increase in popula-
ton. 1t is estimated that the expense
to each family is from two to three dol
lars more than five years ago, and of
course it follows that it is four to six
dollars more than ten years ago. Things
have been going in rut and deeper
and deeper every year until very Sc
rious question is presented for the con-
sideration of the voters. y

seNauseated."

Il care but little for our governor
contest, and am somewhat nauseated
by the turn of the contest between the
candidates"
This is the way prominent repub-
lican of Franklin county begins letter
to the Messenger in which he advocates
Judge Powers election to Congress.
He expresses the feeling of the people
very forcibly. There is no mistake
that the people are disgusted and the
nomination of new man is altogether
in the probabilities.

1t is a cold afternoon when the New
York papers do not have story to
tell on Vermont's ever genial Col.
Hooker. Here is the latest: Col.
Hooker is fond of drinking as well as
eating. One day he was going down
Broadway in New York with the light
of a recent experience beaming in his
eve, when he met friend who was
well acquainted with his convivial hab-
its. "Hello, Hooker !" said his friend.
"Where have you been?' 'Been to
dinner" said Col. Hooker, his eyes
rolling in his head and his lips moving
as though some sweet flavor fingered
upon them still. ''Did you have a
good dinner!" said his friend. "Good
dinner?' said Hooker. "Good dinner?
The finest dinner ! ever had" .'What
did you eat? said his friend. "Eat 7"
said Col. Hooker. Eat! We didn't
eat. We drank"

other meetings can then be announced.
1t is just twenty-five years since the
