The Watchman thinks President
Buchanan of the U. V. NJ, "will

Vermont Sentry:
Some of the republican leaders in
Vermont are evidently living in hopes
that the presidential campaign of
1892 will carry them through the cleo
ton as it did in 1888; already they
are laying plans for it. They had
better stop and consider few things
before they start out. There is a
large amount of disaffectlon in the
rank and file of the party in the State.
Many of the voters are sick and tired
of the methods of the set of party
leaders in Vermont. The offices have
been parceled out among certain
class of political workers and among
families until the younger men of the
party are disguised. Something of a
check to this part of the program was
given last summer in the convention.
Still, many of the old retainers hold
on and are able to influence the new
ones to large extent. Then the leg

lief to taxpayers and relief from I'M
just and burdensome transportation
rates and cutting down appropriations,
did just the other thing or did nothing
at all.
