THE GOvERNoRsHIP.

The trend of public opinion as shown
by the newspapers of the State, has been
colIated by the Morrisville Citizen
Montpelier Waterman and others, and
the results of their consensus lies before
us. On two points these extracts
seem to be nearly unanimous.
The first shows our contempor-
aries generally to be in favor of observ-
ing the rule made in the convention
of 1886 not to promote the Lieutenant
Governor to Governor, and at the same
time there is not an adverse criticism of
Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury.. They oppose
his nomination simply on the ground
of the probable return to the old
rule of succession il he should now be
nominated for Governor.
The second point represents a
number of papers coming out in
support of the Hon. Carroll S Page.
chairman of the Republican State Com.
miltee, for governor.
There are several in the Citizens list
which are non -committal, and num-
Der that are opposed to succession but
as yet express no preferences The Free
Press Of this week announces the candi-
dacy Of Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury. and sew
eral other journals that are not down on
the list referred to, will probably ex-
press their preferences soon. The list
referred to does not include several OF
the leading papers on the West side OF
the mountains.

BENNINGTON CoUNTY's CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS.

A we'll known gentleman in Rutland,
who is in position to know the drift OF
public sentiment in that county writes :
The announcement that Hon. John
w. Stewart will not again be a candI-
date for Congress, has created some sur
prise. It has left the field open. Among
those who are already prominently men
toned are Hon. James X. Batchelder Of
Arlington. Ex.Gov. Ebenezer j. Orms-
bee of Brandon, ex Congressman Col.
Charles II. Joyce of Rutland, Hon.
Henry Ballard of Burlington and Judge
II. Henry Powers of Morrisville. A
long list but since Vermont has been cut
down to two representatives, men are
quite ambitious for the place. 1t is very
evident thus early in the canvass, that
Mr.. Batchelder will have large follow
ing especially in Rutland county. Ex-
Gov. Ormsbee hopes TO be successful
aided by the influences that have hither-
to given him support and place. Mr..
Batchelder is looked upon as a man OF
remarkable ability, and among the ris-
ing men of the State who will honor Yer
mont reflect credit upon himself, and as
one in the vigor OF manhood can long
and well serve his constituents. 1t will
not be surprising to see the contest mar
rowed down to Mr.. Batcheder and
Judge Powers. But then, Lamoille
county can hardly claim both Governor
and Congressman. Mr.. Batchelder has
so early lead and such a substantial
following, that it will be hard matter
for any of his competitors to easily dis
lance him.
