Gov. Woodbury. and Assistant-Adiu.
tant Monroe ofthe department Of Mass
&. A. r., were pair OF notable meI
who sat side by side at the Vermont
/ Veterans reunion at the Thorndyke
last night. Both are ideal old soldiers
and splendid men. Lieut.. Gov. Wood
bury lost an arm at the first Bull Run
and Gen. Monroe later during the war.
The hair Of both is tinged with gray
but both stand as straight and their
voices are as clear and strong as when
the cannon Of Gettysburg thundered.
The one has lost his right arm, the
other his left so they managed things
IN first-rate style at the table.
Our old and highly-esteemed friend
Hon. G. 5. Page, is being favorably
mentioned in our Vermont exchanges
as the candidate of his party for gu-
bernatorial honors. This suggestion
brings to mind many and happy mem
ories. Our first parish, Hyde Park, is
the home of Mr.. Page. As personal
friend and the most generous helper of
the church, his kind offices are CRATE
fully recalled. lie is connected with
one of the most reputable families in
the Green Mountain State. He is |
man Of signal purity of private life. In
business he is sagacious, alert and sue
eessiul. As citizen he is liberal and
public-spii'ited. If selected as a worthy /
successor to Governor Dillingham;, |
who has borne himself so honorably in
his high office, the affairs Of the state
viii receivepersonal, conscientious and
able supervision.-Zion's Herald.
And when we are asked where he
halls from, we say from Hyde Park.
Though the State convention is still
three months ahead, the canvass for
the Governorship has become so active
that it has fairly reached the incandes-
cent stage. So early an opening of
the campaign is wholly unprecedented
in our political history, but, however
we may deplore it, the fact remains
and 1t in manner compels one to
choose ones side aud announce ones
preference.
Such being the case, we say frankly
hat our choice for the Governorship
