The latest estimates up to the time
of going to press indicate the nomina-
ton ofC. 5. Page by the Republican
State convention at Montpelier
Thursday, by a majority of from
forty to sixty votes. These figures
are obtained from a comparison of
all available sources, the Rutland
Herald, Burlington Free Press, and
reliable advices received by us. We
are sorry to see the persistent at
tempt of the Herald and Free Press
papers to misrepresent the situation
and show that Col. Woodbury. has a
lead, when in fact for the past forty
eight hours he has been hopelessly
behind his rival.
What may happen at the conven-
ton can not bestated with certainty
perhaps, but it is as safe as any po-
litical prophecy can be to say that c.
s. Page, of Hyde Park, will be the
nominee OF the convention
This ends a contest which will be
notable in the political annals of
Vermont Owing to the heat with
which it has been fought much has
been said by over-zealous partisans
ON both sides which would better
have been left unsaid That these
things VIII be allowed to drop into
oblivion as things said in the heat of
political excitement should be, can
not for q moment be doubted. The
good sense of the people has tri-
umphed in the canvass over personal
malice and buncombe and it will con-
quer in this also.

The First District.

We publish this week the call for
the district convention to be held al
Middlebury July 8. There seems tic
be little doubt that either Judge
Powers or the Hon. j. X. BatcheIdeI
will receive the nomination, no other
candidate having been seriously dis
cussed during the past three months.
We see nothing to cause any change
in our previous estimates The con-
test will unquestionably be a close
one, with the probabilities, as it
seems to US, in Judge Powers favor
No one thus far has seen fit to ques-
ton his eminent ability or fitness for
the position and so far as the north
end of the State is concerned appear
ances indicate that it will be substan-
tally solid for him.

DEAR EDTOR:-I will send you a
short letter for print which may in
terest some of your readers. The
News AND CITIZEN reaches Mayetta
every week on Saturday and is one of
the most newsy papers in the East.
[ have clipped several articles from it
and had them printed in our County
paper (The HOlton SignaI) which is
the best County Newspaper in Kan
SaS.
will first give the readers a small
history of Mayetta. 1t has a popu-
latiOn of only about eighty souls: it
is situated on the c. R. J & p. r. r.,
twenty miles North of Topeka, the
capitol Of Kansas, and ten miles from
HoltOn, the County seat Our corn
buyers from last December up to
April l, 1890, bought and shipped
about $4,000 bushels of corn, the
average price paid per bushel was
19R cents. This is what Mayptta has
done alone, besides there are eleven
other towns in this County which buy
corn. There are also about one hun
dred big cattle feeders which have to
buy thousands of bushels. Mayetta
contains four general stores, two liv-
cry stables, one blacksmith shop. one
hotel, one dreSSmaker, one carpenter,
one stone mason, and one real estate
agent. But we need very much a
tirst-class doctor, as there is none
nearer than ten miles. A lumber yard
is also needed here, and a good hard
ware store would do a good business,
in fact any man with energy, money
and business can make money in
Mayetta. The people are blowing
their corn over the first time here

weeks. We have every Indication of

NEARING THE END The affairs OF
the old st. Adams Trust Company
are about being closed up and Re
ceiver Stevens hopes to celebrate
July by declaring the last dividend
and retiring from the receivership.
Every rod of land belonging to the
concern has been sold and paid for
and there is only one more transac-
ton in relation to title remaining
unsettled and is practically agreed
upon. There is some doubtful paper
among the assets and it is expected
the court will order the sale of this at
auction. The settlement of the af-
fairs of this concern have been long
drawn out owing to a tangle of real
estate transactions, and Deacon
Stevens is to be congratulated upon
his persistent and effectual work

The Congressional Contest.
From the Middlebury Register.

1t will be at once seen that Judge
Powers has had the wider experience
as a legislator and that he held all
the offices Mr. Batchelder has had, to
say nothing of his long, faithful and
acceptable service on the bench of the
supreme court. He ranks well up
among the foremost of the able men
composing that court and by many
is regarded as the ablest of them all.
When he has sought political office it
has been because the people wished
him to take it and because he felt ca
pable of doing the business of the of
fee In all the relations of life Judge
Powers has proved himself to be "A
man of vigorous intellect, strong will
and honest purposes, one on whose
capabilities of doing, and rightness
of intention the utmost reliance
might always be placed.

OUR DEBT TO THE SoLDIERs.-The
course of the Republican party is
plain. That party was the instru-
ment by which the war was carried
on. Through its agency the armies
were raised, and through its agency
the Union was saved. There should
be no hesitation in granting to the
soldiers every reasonable demand,
even if larger and larger revenues
should be required to meet the claims
upon the treasury. The country can
never pay too much for the service
rendered.-BOStOn Ira weller.
