A Grand Triumph.

The republican party of Vermont
won, on Thursday of last week, the
most signal victory since its organiza-
ton more than third of a CEN
tury ago-a victory over itself, a
victory of the people, by the people
and for the people. After long
contest, without a parallel in the po-
political history of the state, Carroll S.
Page has been chosen the leader of the
Vermont republicans. In September
the voice of the people will make him
governor, and he will manage the affairs
of the state for the best good of every
class and every interest.
The events and incidents of the can
vass are familiar in every nook and
corner of the state. It's history need
not be recited, but the WATERMAN re-
calls with satisfaction the fact that some
months ago it opened the remarkable
contest just ended and outlined its
leading issues. Events have justified
the conclusions we then reached. Pro-
motion became the paramount issue.
In the fluctuations of the struggle this
issue has been sometimes lost to view,
but it always came quickly to the front
after the dispersion of each of the
numberless false issues that were ar
rayed against it.
The fairness and substantial accuracy
of the WATCHMAN'S " consensus " has
been verified. The contest for the gov
ernorship has been fought TO the finish
along the lines of the WATCHMAN ar
ticle of September Is. In the course
of time Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park
became the standard bearer of the OPP
ponents of promotion and the advocates
of economy and retrenchment in state
expenditures. His candidacy was pop
ular from the start 1t defed the flank
movement by way of Canada and
laughed at the charge of the light brig
ade of bovines. The attempt to i'm
peach their candidates honor drew
from his accuser's own witness Mr..
Pages memorable declaration, 50 will
not, even for the sake of being gov
ernor, tie my hands in any way or pledge
subserviency to any interest" Every
effort to detach his following, arrest its
swelling ranks or break their solidity,
only compacted them more firmly to-
gether. Means to break him down were
employed that had hitherto been monop-
olized by the national democracy in their
campaigns against republican candi-
dates for the presidency, but every tale
was quickly shown to be false, and every
false report returned to plague the in
ventor. The dissipation of all the fears,
the contamination of all the hopes, that
had been builded on Mr.. Pages candi-
dature came in the convention on Thurs
day afternoon. The story is graphically
told and all its details set forth in our
convention supplement. Mr. Page was
triumphantly nominated by a handsome
majority on the first ballot.
So ends the most memorable political
struggle in the history of the state, and
so shall end the heat and partisanship of
the pre-convention canvass. There are
now no Woodbury. men or Page men, but
all are republicans, bent solely upon
securing for their fair state a civil adj
ministration that shall enhance her
moral and material prosperity, tighten
her burdens and contribute to the well
fare of all her people.
