The State canvass has closed, but
the campaign has now just opened
and the people should do a large
amount of hard laborin bringing the
main points in this years issue to
the polls in such a manner as will
vindicate that portion of our newly
adopted platform relating to econo-
my in State expenses. When cool
September comes, send to yOnder
dome a man who isloyal to Vermont,
level-headed, and so honest that no
agent of any job will dare approach
him." If this is to be accomplished,
it will be by the help of every voter,
and will be the boon of the farmers,
as well as every class who need wise
legislation, and who have already
shown their colors by placingin nom
nation State ticket made up of
men of that stamp, who are bent
upon a thorough reduction in all de-
partments, where heretofore has been
such extravaganza expenditures, to
the detriment of the financial inter-
ests of the State. Be on the alert
Go about it with vim and have
the satisfaction of seeing the pros
poets grow brighter, and new life
enter into our depressed agricultural
interests. Strike while the iron is
hot, and see our grand old State
welded in the bonds of true economy.

Florida Phosphate Lands.

The discovery of large percentage
of phosphate-one of the principal
materials of fertilizers-in the soil of
various parts of Florida has been
made the occasion of a great deal of
talk, not to say brag, about the i'm
mense advantage to real estate which
this discovery would give to the state.
The following is from a letter to a
friend in this county, giving the opin-
ion of a resident of that section upon
this subject:
As tor Florida everything is dead
and for my part | think it always
will be SO, except for some of the large
hotels that will fill up in the winter
with visitors. Property has gone
down so low that only the best of it
is worth paying taxes on. AS far as
the phosphate is concerned it will
never amount to much, although
there is an abundant quantity in the
southern part of the State. But it
can be handled for less money to
transport the raw material to the es-
tablished factories than to work it at
the mines, so you see it can't help
Florida very much. A man who has
an available mine near transporta-
ton may sell out for good money
land will doubtless wisely do sol. 1t
will furnish labor for mining and
loading; perhaps a few short lines of
road may be built; but the skilled
work will be done at the factories in
other States, and Florida viii buy
her fertilizer the same as she has done
heretofore 1t may reduce the price
perhaps 50 or 50 per ton. This is
the best light | can honestly throw
upon the matter might talk diff
ferently if were a real estate agent"

JAIL DELIVERY AT MONTPELIER
A Montpelier associated press dis
patch OF the 9th says a daring jail
delivery occurred there on Saturday
night, when four desperate prisoners
escaped by saving out the grating of
a window. The men were J. NJ.
Weaver, aged 23 years, imprisoned
for horse stealing; William Jenkins
of Barre, aged 23 years, committed
June II for attempted rape; James
Hawthorne of Washington, VT, aged
16 years, committed July Is forhigh-
way robbery; Peter Amour of Barre,
aged % years, committed July II for
keeping a house of ill-fame. Sheriff
Atherton of Waterbury, being mott
fed by telephone, went to the capital
and organized a search. Sunday af-
ternoon Jenkins and Armour were
caught in Hartford and Hawthorn
at Richmond, and it was expected
that all the prisoners would be re-
taken by Monday night.

We think Bro. Harris of the Hard
wick Gazette is in error or inclined to
find fault when he states that "a
"squabble over the election of sue
cessor to Judge Powers has already
begun" 1t is quite natural that in
view of the certain election of Judge
Powers as congressman that the
question of who will be his successor
on the supreme bench should come up
and receive consideration, and it is
proper that suggestions be made as
to who is the best man for the place.
Let the people speak and then when
the legislature chooses a successor to
the Judge they will know how their
constituency feels regarding the ma

like $4,000. Mr. Bascom cannot be
charged with any bad faith in the
matter as he took stock and is Il
heavy loser by the collapse of the
scheme. 1t appears that the com
pany had an option on "A, 900 acres
of land in Dakota, on which there
might or might not be coal, the first
quarter payment to be made June 1.
1t was hoped to sell enough stock by
that time to make this payment. To
encourage the sale a dividend of ten
per cent. was declared and paid out
of the capital, as the company had
not earned "a dollar, and had no
means of earning one"

The Convention

Probably the most interesting con-
vention this county has had for a
number of years was that held at the
county seat Tuesday. 1t was made
up of representative men, and con-
tanned many of the old wheel
horses" of the Republican party
men whose labors in its behalf have
been not for personal gains, but that
the best interests of the party might
be subserved. The younger element
of the party was also well represent
ed Many of them represented the
various business interests of the
county, and were of that energetic,
wide awake, intelligent element which
gives character to a political cOnven-
ton. With such men coming to the
front the old war horses need haveno
misgivings but that the mantle they
have so honorably borne will fall
upon worthy shoulders when they see
fit to retire from active participation
in our county affairs.
The proceedings of the convention
were harmonious, and the outcome
generally very satisfactory. The fail
ure of some to pass certain measures
and the disappointment of others in
securing the nomination of their fav-
orite candidates We're incidents which
always attach to such conventions,
but at the close all seemed ready to
submit to the will of the majority and
present a solid front in giving hearty
support to the ticket nominated.
1t was thesubject of general remark
that no better or more acceptable
ticket has been presented for the sup
port of the people for many years
than thatplaced denomination Tues
day. 1t will command the respect
and confidence of all, and will receive
the hearty and undivided support of
the party.

We give on our first page this week
a picture of C, W. BrownelI, Jr., of
Burlington, the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State. He is known
from one end of the State to the 9th
er simply as ''Chauncey," a genial,
popular and pleasant fellow. That
he will prove an efficient and compe-
tent official in his new capacity there
is not the shadow of doubt. His
long experience as Secretary of the
Senate and his faithfulness in all po-
sitions in which he has been placed
testify as to his ability.
