There has never been any question but
that the New York Tribune was the lead
ing republican paper in the country. 1t
is not only the largest in form and the
most convenient in shape to read, being
cut and pasted, and containing from is to
81 pages each issue, but it has the ablest
force of editors Of any paper in the coun-
try. 1t is the best of all the metropolitan
weeklies, and the most reliable newspaper
in the country. Everything that goes in
to its columns is most critically examined
and nothing sensational ever appears. II
you find anything in The Tribune sit is
So" 1t costs s1.0O year or in regular
club rate SOC. Believing this great cam
paign is to be the most important and far
reaching in the consequences that hang
upon the issue of any since the war, and
being willing to do our part to contribute
to the success Of the republican party we
have entered into special contract with
The Tribune whereby we can offer it, with
the HERALD, both papers one full year
each, for only S1.00 anywhere in VT. This
is to old or new subscribers as we never
do by new subscribers better than by
those who have stood by us so faithfully
and to whom the success OF this paper is
so largely due. But we must have the
dollar in each and every case. III your
subscription expires Jan. 1, 1893 or any
time we will date your paper ahead one
full year from that time. Tell all your
neighbors of this great offer and get them
to subscribe and so help on the cause of
honest money, an honest ballot and an
honest administration.

Is money being used to secure the re-
publican nomination for governor? This
question is one of vital Importance, not
/ only to political aspirants OF to-day, but
/ for all time, for il the free use of money is
once established in Vermont politics it
will be like snake grass, an almost inerad-
icable evil and will spread itself through
all parts of the political field. from gov
ernor down to town representative, and
the able statesman with no money will in
the future stand no show before the infiu.
ential politician with "boodle.'
Vermont has hitherto been remarkably
free from the use OF money in politics, be-
ing in direct contrast with our neighbor-
ing states, but we fear that the insidious
example OF the neighboring states is work
ing its way into this state.
While we hesitate to believe the Rut-
land Herald's claim OF wholesale bribery
in the interests OF Fuller, yet we are con-
strained to believe that some OF the enthu.
siastic Fuller shouters draw their pay by
some underground channel from the Brat
tleboro millionaireis barrel.
There are many ways OF feeling the boys
other than direct payment.
Services rendered in political way by
an influential man are paid for at sum
way out of proportion to the intrinsic
worth OF the service.
Ashouters' bill foreexpenses and monies
paid out' will cover good deal more oil
for he pnlitiaal machinery
Another method, we are informed, prac-
ticed in the present campaign. is to pur-
chase the influence of newspaper under
the guise of paying large sum of money
for a number Of extra copies OF an edition
containing boom for the Brattleboro
candidate.
Now, while these may not be direct
bribes, yet the end accomplished is the
same as in the case of direct bribe, and
its effect is as deplorable. No one can en-
ter the field and conduct a canvass of this
kind without big barrel behind him, and
we may expect to see the governorship
passed around from hand to hand among
Vermont's thirteen millionaires.
But we expect that the people will not
stand such a canvass. Let them all turn
out at the caucuses and rebuke these meth
ods and send men to the State convention
unpledged except to vote for the best
man, irrespective of his financial qualif-
cations.
There are plenty of good, able men who
will take the governorship with its small
salary bnt they haven't the money or the
inclination to hunt the Office down. In
w. f. Johnson of Woodstock the people
of Vermont can feel assured they have
man who will not lift one finger to bring
the office to him, yet who, il nominated,
will be the strongest candidate the repub-
lican party has had in Vermont for long
time.

The sole Reason for Nominating Col
Fuller.

Col. Fuller is, as far as the present can
vass is concerned, simply a rich man who
greatly desires to be Governor OF Vermont
and who, after many years of Intellectual
effort to that end, is now bending all his
energies to supreme endeavor.
This is absolutely all there is OF It, His
advocates, to be sure, driven to the neces-
sity of producing some reasons why we
should nominate Col. Fuller for Governor,
have dug up various things which we are
asked to regard as arguments in his favor;
but all the world knows, and the authors
OF them know, that they are all the veriest
rot. Col. Fuller is a rich man and wants
to be Governor. That statement covers
the whole ground.-St. Johnsbury Daily
Republican.

2. Becsuse he is a young man, full OF

ica, and so, representative of young vot-
ers.
3. He is literally educated man, and a

An article that will attract and interest
all members of evangelistic organizations,
is THE Christian Endeavor Movement"
in the June New England Magazine, of
Boston, Mass. 1t is written by three hands
and deals with the beginnings and meth
DDS and aims of the organization in a
thoroughly comprehensive fashion. The
President of the United Society of Chris
tian Endeavor, Rev. Francis Z. Clark,
whose name is inseparably linked with
the movement as the originator of it.,
opens with an account of "The Early
Days of the Society,"" Amos R. Wells,
the editor of the Golden Rule, the organ
of the society, deals with it as "a New Re-
ligious Force" and touches upon its re-
lation and helpfulness to the churches;
and John Willis Baer, the Secretary of the
Society, in "The Outlook and the Oppor-
tunity" describes the possible growth and
future of the movement. The article is
very fully illustrated with portraits
of many OF the trustees and with most of
the presidents of the different state or
ganizations. In fact, every Christian En-
deavorer will find the familiar faces of
old friends there, no matter which part of
this great country he or she may hold
friends in.
This great movement from New iEng-
land is fittingly present in this great New
England Magazine.

Cannot Poll the Vote.

But more than all this, Col. Fuller is far
from popular, even in his own commun-
ity; and where he is not personally known
his reputation is that OF man OF exceed
ingly limited ability. With such a candi-
date il will be simple impossibility to
get out the full republican vote; and the
result of our Vermont election, instead of
encouraging the National party in the
great conflict in which 1t viii then be en-
gagged, will simply discourage our friends
and till our enemies with courage and

The Republican town committee OF Rut-
land called a caucus for last Thursday
evening on, we believe, the shortest notice
ever given in this state, and succeeded in
eIecting Fuller delegates. Out of the 1900
republican voters only 125 were present,
probably the full Fuller strength. 1t is no
wonder that Rutland elects democratic
representative. Gen. l.. G. Kingsley, can
didate for lieutenant governor on the Full
Ter ticket, is one of the delegates. He IS

The present political campaign recalls
that OF 1872, the year that Julius Converse
was nominated. Then, as now, before the
day of the convention a millionaire was
the foremost candidate. Gov. John w.
Stewart was seeking denomination and
was opposed by Frederick Billings. Bill
lings had apparently great lead over the
field. All the shouters were for him. Bill
lings was a far abler man than the pres
ent millionaire candidate. but somehow
the people got it into their heads that his
money was buying the nomination and at
the convention, after the first ballot the
opposition to him united on julius Con-
verse who was then nominated.
History repeats itself, and who knows
but that a similar incident viii occur in
the 1892 convention?

Brattleboro Speaks for Johnson.
Rrattlehoro. Vt.. Man 2n. d

Brattleboro, VT, May 20, '92.
EDITOR VT. STANDARD-DEAR SIR
The Republicans of Vermont should this
year nominste man who would receive
the enthusiastic support of their entire
party, and furthermore attract the So
called doubtful voters.
Such a man has been named, but his res
idence is not in this county. The well-or-
ganized and persistent attempt to induce
the people of this State to believe they are
loudly calling for the nomination OF Col.
Fuller, has not otscured the fact that the
gentleman himself is the one who calls
the loudest, nor that he has few compan-
ions An his vocifeTation. Even in his own
town there is no enthusiasm for him, and
but for one fact there would be decided
and probably successful opposition.
Should the republican party here be di-
vided ii would render democratic success
possible, and Brattleboro should have a
republican representative. On this ac-
count only, the true sentiment of the
town has not manifested itself. a delega-
tion from here to the State convention
may possibly be selected that will unani-
mously support their own townsman, but
the county delegation will surely be di-
vided. Such being the state of feeling
here, is it not folly to nominate so weak a
candidate?
Head and shoulders above every other
candidate mentioned towers the COM
manding form of your own townsman-
VIM. E. johnson. Let Windsor county
present his name to the convention and a
large part of Windham county will rally
to his support. Let us this presidential
year not only give an ld-time majority
for governor, but make new mark for
the glory of the State. Give us then no
"average" candidates, but the best. A
mong all those at present named MIR.
johnson is the best. Let us nominate
him. WINDHAM COUNTY.
