The Springfield Republican thinks
Secretary Proctor would make
good presidential candidate. Of his
recent speech at the Bennington
banquet it says:
Why is it that Mr.. Proctor has the
reputation of being mo speech-maker :"
His little effort at the Bennington ban
quet was one of the happiest and most
spontaneous of the occasion; his voice
has a resonant, far-reaching quality, and
he has the appearance of "a man of the
people" If the probable successor of
Senator Edmunds lived in a doubtful
state he would make presidential candi-
date of no mean pretentions. AS it is the
republican party might go great way
farther and fare much worse in popular
test with the candidate of the democracy

SENATOR REDFIELD PROCTOR.

Gov. Page has selected Secretary
Redfeld Proctor to succeed Hon.
Geo. F. Edmunds as United States
Senator from Vermont, as will be
seen by the following letter, which
explains itself:
STATE OF VERMONT,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Hyde Park, Aug. "a, 81.
HON. REDFIELD PROCTOR,
Proctor, VT
Dear Sir After careful consideration
of all the names suggested, have decid-
ed to appoint you U. S. Senator to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Hon. Geo. F. Ednunds.
Primarily l deem it my duty to satisfy
my own judgment as to what selection
would best promote the welfare OF Yer
mont, and of the whole country. But |
have at the same time felt that l was
acting largely in representative capaci-
ty and that if, without doing injustice
to my own Judgment, l could meet the
wishes of a large ma ority of the people
of Vermont, it would be my duty and
pleasure so to do.
l have with considerable care sought
and received, personally and by letter,
the views of prominent Vermonters in
every county in the state. The result of
my investigation leaves me in no doubt
as to official duty. If therefore, on the
first day of November next it should be
incumbent on me to fill the vacancy re-
ferred to. purpose to tender you the
appointment.
l inform You of my decision at this
time, not only because l believe you
should have reasonable notice of my in
tention, but because. having reached the
above conclusion, l cannot see that the
public good will be subserved by further
discussion.
With much respect, l am,
Yours truly,
