Owning Up.

Some mornings since, while the
MONITOR was trying its guns little,
it let fly political she'll labeled "Cut
and Dried" Suddenly there was a
tremendous commotion all along the
Woodbury. line. The "Merrimacks"
of all calibres and character, from
the Burlington Free Press down to
Hardwick J,nk began a most furi-
Gus bombardment. The air was full
of denials, "You lies," "We didn'ts"
and sulphurous fumes.
There happened to be a man down
in Windsor county, perhaps a mem
Der of the Legislature of 1888, who
witnessed the noisy but harmless bat
tie between the newspaper Monitors"
and "Merrimacks'', who writes a
consoling communication to the
Windosr Journal, the 'Merrimack,
worst hurt by the "Monitor'' shell, in
Which he virtually acknowledges the
truth of the MONITOR article, which
claimed that there was sort of 'Ecut
and dried'' arrangement between
some members of the Legislature of
1888 relative to political offices in
1890. The Journal correspondent
says:
+" Fudge! Suppose Mr.. Wood
bury's friends did consult together in
1888 Is there anything wrong about
that? Did anybody ever know OF a
political campaign when there were
no consultations? Is there anything
dangerous to the state of Vermont in
such comparison of views, or fore
cast of futures in politics? Do Mr..
Pages friends suppose that such a
bugaboo claim will amount to any
thing? Mr.. Page Is not the politician
the people take him to be if he has
not ere long this laid his wires and
fixed his forces. The people like grit
aud vim and wit in politics as we'll as
in business, and 1t is all nonsense to
play this role of the confding, unsus-
pecting green horn on the part of
Mr.. Woodbury's opponents. No man
goes into a political contest for mere
amusement, as general thing. Let
the Monitor stop its goody-goody cry
and work for Mr.. Page because it
rather haye him for governor than any
other man. No one will find fault
with this"
Forecast of futures In politics Is
good-a better sentence than we
could have invented. Somehow the
people do not elect set of officers
and state Legislature to spend theiI
time and energies in forecasting po-
litical futures. We are glad Brother
Perkins has stopped swearing for q
few minutes and is making confes-
sions.

people of the state in the distribution
of several thousand good newspapers
were not alone in the thousands of
dollars secured to the readers, but in
the influence of the excellent papers,
which, though political, came to the
homes of the people frau2ht with a
thousand things of blessing and of
benefit. The result of the expert
meut was so satisfactory that it has
been continued, ,and to-day every man
in Vermont can buy one of the best
city weeklies in combination with the
local paper for forty-fve cents. The
effect in the most exciting and inn
portant campaign of 1888 was most
gratifying. Vermont gave a repub-
lican majority, almost unprecedented
in her history and the grand victory
here was an inspiration to republic
ans the country over.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1890-04-14

For the last three years most re-
publican papers in Vermont have
been furnishing several Boston and
New York journals, when dubbed with
the local papers, at very low rates. The
prices of all the dollar weeklies used
have ranged from fifteen to forty, five
cents. Now everybody knows that
the city weeklies and the postage
paid on them cost about a dollar.
Were it not for the fact that the mat
ter is to a considerable extent used
in their respective dailies, none of
them could live minute. The great
reduction in Vermont was made thro'
the efforts of the republican state
committee, nominally, but really
through the labors of the chairman
of the committee, Carroll S. Page.
Mr.. Page considered it legitimate and
wise to expend some campaign funds
in the purchase of good republican
metropolitan papers, while at the
same time he should increase the cir
culation of the country weekly. He
pursuaded the city publisher to make
a heavy discount on his paper, if
the country publisher should make a
corresponding discount. These two
cuts, together with the sum paid by
the state committee, made three dis
counts to those who bought the papers.
The discount made by the country
publishers was such that not few of
them s'kicked" ENTHUSIASTICALLY they
contributed very heavily to this cam
paign scheme. If there Is any par
ticular man that should bear the
blame CO of this cut in the price of
papers and the effect it has had on
the politics and the intelligence OF
Vermont, that man Is C.. s. Page,
Those who believe in republican
principles, and to whom republican
success is important, will not cry
down a man who is doing so much
j for it. The benefits received by the

The Australian ballot syste m was
tried in two States whose people are
widely dissimilar in character, habits,
modes of thought and action-Rhode
Island and Missouri. The contrast
between the two peoples could scarce
" be greater if an ocean instead Of a
half continent separated them. Rhode
Island is thickly populated, crowded
with toilers, dense with factories.
The masses of her people are day la
borers, who for the most part content
to be wage earners and their children
after them. But Missouri is large
and roomy, scarcely yet we'll settled,
with Il rustling, active, pushing, ener-
getic, ambitious, breezy, booming
Western populace. 1t speaks we'll
for the system that in both States,
under such differing conditions, it is
universally pronounced successful in
operation.

In the canvass already begun for
nominations, by the republican state
convention for the highest elective
offices in the gift of the people, the
majority of Republicans have a right
to demand that party principles shall
not be sacrificed at the bidding of any
political clique. A sorry spectacle
would the party present should it give
up the rule so emphasized by the last
convention and re-establish the vi
cious order of succession that had
crept in until it became a custom
which finally was Overthrown as OBJ
noxious and detrimental. The can
didate for governor should be man
direct from the people, and not one
who has taken advantage of his offi-
cial position as the second executive
officer of the state to form an alliance
with other politicians with a view to
his own promotion and their advance
ment.- Landmarks.

Letter From Col. e. B. Sawyer.
Hyde Park, Apra 3, 1890.

Hyde Park, april 8, 1880.
CAPT. GEO. III. BLAKE,
Sir,-In regard to the reports that
have found currency of late deroga-
tory to the course of the Hon. G. S.
Page during the period of the late
war, l take pleasure in stating that |
have known Mr.. Page from early
boyhood, and know as much, perhaps,
as any man in regard to that particu-
lar period of his life. [ have been
astonished and panied to learn that
anybody, even as a political scandal,
should state that Carroll S. Page did
anything in the dark days of the war
that was not manly and patriotic.
[ was resident of Hyde Park when
the war broke out, and was intensely
interested in the thrilling events of
the early months of 1861. Il. Z.
Benton, with whom [ was most
closely associated in friendship,
and myself made a solemn pledge
during the time of the campaign at
Bull Run, that if that battle went
averse to the North, we would at
once enlist in defense of the Union.
The battle resulted in a defeat and a
rout and we each made preparation
for enlistment at once. Gov. Fair
banks sent me recruiting papers, and
we commenced the formation of a
company Go. d 9TH VT. Vols.) at
once. Mr.. Benton, afterwards Col.
Benton, was the first to enlist, sever
| I ND xyIlloCrn TNnf
ting their names to the paper at once.
Among the young men, or boys, who
were seemingly anxious to join the
company, was Carroll S. Page, son
of Russell S. Page, prominent man
of our village. Mr.. Page, senior, was
doing an extended and complicated
business at that time. Himself an
invalid, he was compelled to place
the different branches of his business
in the hands of others. 1t happened
that among the very first who had
| enlisted for the war was Francis Fen
nigan, upon whom he placed much
responsibility. Carroll, then eighteen
years Of age, was his fathers book
keeper, had charge Of some of the
branches of business, made the pur-
chases and the sales in the markets
and was the staff on which his father
leaned. 1t is needless to say that the
relations of father and son were mos
intimate and tender. The only son, du
tiful and loving, was everything to his
father in feeling and in business. Ha(
the circumstances been other thar
they were, | have no doubt that th'
name of young Page would have beer
upon my enlistment roll.
l have EEsummered and wintered'
Carroll S. Page, and am glad to stat
here that his life and record are a
clean as that of any man ever knew
l might prolong this statement b.
fuller details, but think it will shov
clearly, with substantial reasons, VIII.
Mr.. Page could not and did not trus
!, himself to the fortunes of war. Th
statement ought to show how unJus
are the filings and innuendoes of tn
