the newest designs, embracing among
other fabrics Crepe de Rette, Crepe de
Chine, and Tinsel Brocade. A special
feature that will strike the ladies is that
the new fabric, Pekin La Toscin, is sell

nation Of this low price, however, is that
this silk was purchased before the great

MR.. PAGE THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

1t has been quite customary IN
years past for the Central Vermont
railroad to name the candidate for
governor and then calmly wait for
| the republican press to endorse their
man and for the state convention to
nominate him. Indeed this is such a
common practice that the first ques-
ton that is naturally raised of any
man in connection with this office
has always been, Is he friendly or
hostile to the Central Vermont? and
unless he is willing to be their tool
his name is forever dropped from the
list of possible candidates 1t often
happens that the Central Vermont's
candidate proves to be an excellent
choice, but the fact remains true just
the same that Vermont governors
are not usually chosen by the people.
This year, however, instead of only
one candidate the somewhat novel
spectacle is presented of two men III
the feld-both stalwart republicans
and both worthy of the high office
to which they aspire-Col. U. A.
Woodbury. of Burlington, the present
neutrality-suspicious., and Hon. Car
roll S. Page of Hyde Park. The for
meris unfortunately the Central Yer
mont S candidate, and though he has
many devoted followers throughout
the state he cannot shake off this old
man of the sea. Mr.. Page, on the
other hand. is the peoples choice and
a man eminently worthy of their suf-
frage. His position on all the lead
ing questions of the day is highly
satisfactory and the affairs of the
state in his hands would be carefully
and honorably conducted. He is an
upright man and a temperance man,
and as governor would use his inf1u-
ence in favor of temperance, economy
and the best interests of the state.
Hisstrict integrity, his acknowledged
business ability, his wide acquain-
tance with men, and his insight into
all the public questions now being
agitated in Vermont are respectfully
submitted to the voters of the Green
Mountain state with no fear of their
final decision While the Caledonian
does not think, as some of our ex-
changes would have their readers be-
lieve, that the governor question is
the only one to be considered at the
present time, it firmly believes that
Vermont republicans should take
decided stand on this question, and
that the final result will show a we'll
earned victory for Mr.. Page. He is
the peoples choice.

Worth Reneafiu6

Regarding Mr.. Pages work as
member of the republican state COM

have already said, that he has been
a most efficient member of that
board, and that since he assumed the
craftsmanship of the committee has

Admitting the Force of the Argument
Our readers will bear record that
we had no word but of praise for
Mr. Woodbury. personally. We
would not detract an atom from his
army or his civil record Our posi-
ton is that the custom of direct pro-
motion is a pernicious one. 1t gives
the incumbent of the second place an
unfair advantage over one who
comes straight from the people. The
choice of Col. Fuller four years ago
sent a breath of relief all over the
state to think the next canvass
would be free for all 1t has been in
timated to us that so much has been
said in opposition to promotion
that after Mr.. Woodbury. is chosen
the non-promotion rule will be in
sisted on. That admits the force of
the argument, and we insist that the
rule should begin with the present
nomination.-[Newport Express.

THE NEW RIFE BILL.

The Mckinley tariff bill was intro
duced into the House last week ac-
companied by a long report Hides
and most grades of sugar are on the
free list, but the duty is increased on
many other staple products. The
tedious debate will soon begin in the
House and the old arguments re-
iterated on both sides The bill is
not very likely to become law and
with its present high-tariff features
never ought to pass either the House
or the Senate. Public sentiment de-
mands tariff reform and the republi-
can party has promised it. The
American people will watch with
much interest to see if party pledges
and public sentiment will be needed
by the Fifty-frst Congress.

FOR LIEUTENA NT-GOvERNoR.

Among those mentioned for lieu
tenant-governor there is one man
who stands prominently above
them all and who is in every way
qualified for that high office That
man is Hon. Henry c. Ide of St.
Johnsbury. He is recognized as one
of Vermont's ablest lawyers, a man
of uninpeachable integrity, and an
ardent supporter of the republican
party and its principles. His record
in the state senate is q cred1tablc
one and his four years service there
well qualities him to preside over that
body. Geographically considered he
is on the right side of the state. His
broad views, his public service, his
record on the temperance question
and his identification with the best
interests of the state make him I'M
questionably the most suitable man
for the place. Speaker Grout, it is
understood, has withdrawn from the
contest and Orleans county has no
candidate to present to the conven-
ton. If the delegates from Orleans
and Caledonia counties should unite
on Mr.. Ide he would have strong
following in the convention. The
citizens of Vermont would make no
mistake in choosing Henry Z. Ide for
their next ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

TAGGART IS GOVERNOR.

Gov Goodell of New Hampshire
does not recover as quickly as his
many friends had hoped, and his
physicians now say that if he recOv-
ers at all he will not be able to re-
sumo his work III the gubernatorial
chair. Accordingly David A. Tag
CART, president of the senate, has
taken the oath of office and IS now
acting governor On being intro
duced, Mr. Taggart said that while
he should exercise constant anxiety
to perform his duties in such a way
as Will best subserve the public wei
fare, still he knew that he should be
satisfied if he could perform each Off
ciala with that honesty of purpose
and consciousness of duty which
characterized every act of Gov. Good
ell He said that the fact that the
people, were to a man, praying for
his speedy recovery. was the highest
encomium that could be paid to that
good man who now lies stricken in
the town of Antrim.
This is the first instance since 1884
when the president of the senate has
been called upon to discharge the
duties of governor, and the friends of
temperance feel that the cause has
suffered great blow by this calamity.
