Continue the Discussion.

The supporters of economy in the
administration of the state govern
ment have won great victory in the
nomination of Carroll S. Page for gov
ernor and Henry A. Fletcher for lieu
tenant-governor. The name of each is
a stronger pledge, surer guaranty, of
the good faith of the great body of the
republican voters, in respect of this
matter of state expenses, than the most
emphatic of platform declarations. So
far, so good. But the work is not
complete. Without a legislature cor
daily in sympathy with the executive
officers, the victory of last week will be
shorn of half its advantage. The
economic issues of the canvass must
now be taken to the county conventions
in the nomination of senators, and to
the town meetings in the election of
representatives. The senate and house
should be put in hearty accord with the
executive chamber. Mr.. Page, in his
brief speech to the convention, earnestly
appealed to the delegates to take this
matter back to their constituents, to
discuss it through the heats of July and
August, and in the cool of September
to send to Montpelier men $50 level
headed and so honest that no agent of
any job shall dare approach them"
Nor is this all. 1t is the year for the pro-
posal of amendments to the constitution.
Changes in that instrument that may be
advisable, but more that may be ill-ad-
vised, are likely to be proposed. For
this work men of sound judgment are
wanted in both branches of the legisla-
ture Measures relating directly to the
present condition of the state will come
up for discussion and for action. The
work begun by the industrial bureau
should be continued and shaped in the

struction might have been placed upon
an earlier response. We are not saying
that these things had any influence
upon any body's vote or action, but it
was observed that the Grand Army was
practically solid for Grout, and its men,
bers were very Jealous at the polls in
his behalf. Among other contributing
causes was the fact that the Grout
ticket was headed by Hooker man, and
feelings of evaporation excited by the
days work of the visiting statesman {"
from Burlington, resulting in blood
letting and retaliatory voting. The
town was unquestionably for Page by a
good majority, but it was conceded that
there were more for Hooker than for
Page. But in both instances, and for
reasons and by methods that have been
explained in part, the real sentiment of
the town was not expressed by the eau
Gus vote.

Colonel Hooker.

The outcome of the canvass in the
second district is a misfortune-not to
Colonel Hooker personally, but to the
people of Vermont. They, not the de-
feated candidate, are to be commiser-
ated. Except as an individual suffers
in some general disaster, Colonel
Hooker's personal interests are not af-
fected by defeat.
Who is responsible? What influences
combined to accomplish his defeat?
In the first place, the district commit
tee. The time chosen for holding the
convention was ill-advised, if regard
for the public good was to be cOnsid-
cred. 1t was wrong to inject sharp
district canvass into seething state
canvass. The governor fight had the
right of way. The public mind was
preoccuped by the discussion of state
affairs. 1t was impossible to arouse
more than a languid or incidental in
terest in district matters. But those
matters were of paramount importance,
and time for their full, separate and
deliberate consideration was needed.
For this purpose period of proper
length after the state canvass was off
the docket should have been allowed,

The Broken Images.

The fact that an image-breaking
spirit got possession of the convention
and took off the heads of Treasurer
Dubois and Secretary Porter has not
convinced every one of the wisdom or
fairness of its action in respect of these
officials. No complaint was made
against either of these officers. On
the contrary, their ability was acknowl-
edged and their official faithfulness and
efficiency conceded. The demand for
a change was not made with the hope
or expectation of nominating better
men. The idea was to pass the offices
round, that others might enjoy their
honors and emoluments. The candor
of the advocates of change for the
sake of a change, if not their sense or
reason, commands admiration. Mr..
Field and Mr.. Brownell will make
competent successors. We have taken
pleasure in expressing our high opinion
of the ability and merit of both of these
gentlemen, and we repeat and empha-
size every favorable expression we have
used. But we believe beginning of
inevitable change was made in way
that is hardly just or fair to the super
seeded officers. If rotation after linn
tied term of service is to be the rule,
common fairness would demand, when
all are of equal merit, that beginning
should be made with the officer of long
est service and of largest share of emol-
ument But the convention, the adj
vocates of a change having enunciated
their doctrine, Immediately disregarded
it, took off the heads of the junior Off
Gals and continued the senior in his
office and the enjoyment of its emolu-
ments. In Mr.. Porter's case the injus-
tice was the more conspicuous from
the fact that he has held his Office but
six years, while the "spared monu-
ment," the auditor, has been twelve
years in the office having the largest
Ooinp ouodllOu' LII IuC Sao0 VI thO ooC-
rotary there was further evidence of
unfairness of some sort. 1t must be
apparent that either the ballots pre-
pared for him were not generally dis
tributed to the delegates or were sup
pressed. Certain it is that supporters
of Mr.. Porter in some of the county
delegations were unable to procure bal
lots bearing his name. Possibly the
remark of Rutland delegate to the
effect that at that stage of the proceed
ings, they did not dare steal Mr.. Dubois
ballots, but did steal those of Mr..
Porter, contained more of truth than
of lest.

with pride to the fact that, though in

THE lottery people in Louisiana are
making hot fight, and it will take
more than average virtue and backbone
to beat them. The talk that the propo-
sition to recharter the old company has
caused is attracting the active attention
of men of gambling propensties every
where. In other words, the state of
Louisiana seems to be for sale, and of
course the people will only sell to the
highest bidder. AT present the highest
bidder is one Benjamin Newgass, who
wants an exclusive license from the
state for twenty-five years. For this
license he is willing to pay 81 $50 900
annually in advance. But some one
else very likely will go a few thousand
over this sum, and so the fun will 90
on. 1t is all right for Louisiana to get
good, large pile if it is going into the
gambling business at all. No one will
criticize the state on that point. But
it certainly is to be deplored that public
morality is at no higher point than it is.
The latest reports from Louisiana as
sert that the chances are that the lot
terry men will secure the submission to
the people of the proposition to rechar-
ter lottery company. If the, legisla-
ture does that, it is expected that the
people will vote for the lottery. The
only hope that the other states seem to
have of defence from the influe noes of
the lottery is to give the postmaster
general authority to stop the company
from using the mails. That step should
be taken at once.

light of the information Commissioner
Valentine will furnish. The kind and
quantity of work that will demand the
attention of the next legislature will
require the best ability each community
will be able to contribute to the assem-
bled wisdom and virtue. So keep up
the discussion in every school district
and neighborhood, and warm up the
clubs, republican or democratic, to the
patriotic work.

THE new pension bill that passed the
senate on Monday, by a vote of thirty
four to eighteen, gives pension of
from Sc to S12 a month to disabled
soldiers, whether rich orpoor, or whether
the service or out of it. 1t gives de-
pendent widows of soldiers a pension
without regard to the cause of the SOL
dier's death. The bill passed the house
of representatives. on the 10th instant,
and now goes to the president for his
approval. 1t is estimated that this bill
will add from S35 ,00O0 900 to $50, 900
600 annually to the present pension ex-
penditures.

THE sudden movement last week to
nominate Colonel Hooker to the lieu
tenant-governorship did more credit to
the hearts than to the heads of its pro-
moters. Neither the colonel nor the
Windham county delegation sought the
nomination. Once begun, it encoun-
tered the hostility of some of the same
elements, and for much the same rea-
sons, that had opposed him in the district
contest Indications are not wanting
that the Central railway, as represented
by Colonel Childs, the private secretary,
and Colonel f. S. Stranahan, the brother
in-law of Governor Smith, had hand in
the affair. Other elements that had met
the fate of war in the battle in the
forenoon were quietly ambushed against
the colonel's candidacy. Colonel Hook
er's double fate is a warning to any
adventurous man of generous impulses,
or broad, independent views of state
affairs, not to contend for political honor
in Vermont unless he is prepared to
make desperate fight both against the
prejudice of those who should be his
supporters and the forces that corporate
hostility will array against him. But
will the people of Vermont abandon
the man who has served them, in peace
and in war, only too well and faithfully,
on the field where the events of last
week left him?

THE Brattleboro Ph@nir unques-

was the foremost advocate of both Mr..
Page and General circuit, and yet the
Brattleboro caucus elected, by vote of
more than two to one-and more than
three to one in several instances-an
unpledged state ticket, as against a
straight-out Page ticket, on the latter
of which Editor French himself was a
candidate; and by vote of almost two
to one the Hooker delegates were elected
over the Grout ticket. " A Bit of Arith-
metic," in another column, cleverly
illustrates the effect of the Ph@nir'S
tactics as a vote-developer.

THE Chatauqua Assembly has been
in session at Ottawa, Kansas, for the past
two or three days. No sooner, the re-
ports say, had it got in good running
order than Kansas City liquor-dealer
opened an original package saloon.
This incensed the temperance people
of Ottawa to such a degree that last
week Saturday evening they met and
formed defence league, and fund of
SO 900 was subscribed to pay the ex-
penses. A resolution was passed pro-
viding that a committee should capture
each original package dealer, tar and
feather him and ship him back to Mis-
souri, as an "original package from
Kansas for Missouri"

1t will be observed that the aggre-
gates vary but slightly from the latest
figures the WATCHMAN published in its
last issue Now compare the above es-
innate with the figures of the actual
vote in the convention. 1t will be seen
that in eight counties there is no varia-
ton at all. In Essex and Grand Isle
the vote was one less; in Orange and
Rutland one more; in Washington three
less, and in Windham six less. The
aggregate vote for Page was only nine
less than the estimate; for Woodbury.,
three more. If there is on record an
instance of closer figuring of the kind
we should like to know it. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
few days before the holding of the eau
cuses Mr.. Page wrote the editor OF the
WATCHMAN, in reply to inquiries, that
according to his information he should
have $50 votes, and this at time when
the Free Press was blandly claiming
that Woodbury. was ahead and gaining
Mr.. Page had 1856 votes. Probably he
could have " fggered y closer if it had
been necessary.

ST. PAUL and Minneapolis are too
close to each other in population to
allow a fair census enumeration, it
seems. Minneapolis is charged with
trying to swell its list of residents by
padding. Seven enumerators of that
city have been arrested, and five mail
sacks, filled with bogus census returns,
have been seized. The Minneapolitans
are righteously indignant, and consider
the arrests an outrage, while the st.
Paul people are happy in seeing their
proud and wicked neighbor humbled,
a new enumeration is possible.
