COUNTY POLITICS.

intervening between this and conven
ton makes it necessary to say wore
now.
The custom, a poor one, of making
new senators at every election calls
for two new candidates. In this enc
en-, by right of location, either tc
Craftsbury or Greensboro, neither
town having had this Office for sever
al years. If the candidate halls from
| Craftsbury most satisfactory choice
would be that of Amory Dawson. He
has long been considered a desirable
man for the place. His experience,
wide acquaintance in the state, good
sense and integrity make him all that
can be desired. We think the county
is practically unanimous in the wish
to see him nominated for the office.
| Should Greensboro put in claim the
town would have a worthy man in
| Lewis A. Jackson, an energetic, thrifty
man who has had wide experience in
business and town affairs, the legisla-
ture, etc.; or if the town should take
up e. o. Randall the county would
find him an excellent legislator and
sound man on all business and moral
questions. Mr.. Goss, heretofore nam
ed as a suitable candidate, is liable,
we understand, to move from the
town and county and might for that
reason be considered ineligible at this
time.
Passing to the north end of the
county we will not assume to offer
more than asuggestion as to whom the
candidate should be. With desirable
candidate in the field Newport might
be expected to be largely Gin it,. At
tention is directed to @. A. Prouty as
most able and influential man whom
the town could Sem but he has told
friends that he will not be a candidate
at this time. Theophilus Grout, ca
pable man who might we'll fill the bill,
is also not in the field. DR.. Erwin
whom many would like to see in the
Senate finds more profit, perhaps
more pleasure, in attending to his Of
fee as pension examiner. In the
north east part of the county the
towns of Morgan and Charleston have
been served for some years. Morgan
has capable man in Judge Taylor and
Charleston two very bright and wor
thy men in J. B. Holton and j. S.
Sweeney. Neither Of these men will

If Derby should come into the con-
vention with a delegation for Maj |
Grout, his popularity and admirable
fitness for the place would make him,
not only a very formidable, but a
most worthy candidate. The county
cannot do better than this in any
event. If the people in that part of |
the county have any other men that /
should be considered in this connec-
tion the MONITOR will be pleased to
give them a mention.
In the matter of Judge of Probate,
the question ought to be, and we pre-
sumo is, settled already. The admin
stration of Judge Austin has been so
all around that lis re
election ought to be assured without
l contest. The same can also be said
II regard to States Attorney w. w.
Niles. He has held the office one
jerm and is entitled to it again, both
oy custom and by clean, careful and
S a conscientious and efficient
officers and the county will need his
as long as he by right should
lold the Office.
In regard to the office of high sher-
Fl, we understand that there is a de-
ire on the part of two or more of the
leputies to contest the question of
Who shall be nominated. We hear of
10 fault with Sheriff Miles and sup {
'ose he is a very careful and efficient {
mcer. The bar in the county would t
-ot expect to find a better man for '
Or the place. Among those whose t
riends are agitating the question if 1
a change" Mr.. Miles having had the t
flee several years, is Ell. q. Hartman t
f Craftsbury. Mr.. Hartman has the t

nd is very honorable man. Tt is t
laimed for him that he had some as V
1rances two years ago that the field e
7ould be clear for him this year. If e
ne county concludes to make the O
hange the interests of the state and t
ounty Will be we'll served in f
[r. Hartman. In the east part of the il
ounty there is a desire to give the a
lace to L. w. Stevens, another old t.
nd worthy deputy. But the sheriffs V
nd lawyers must work this matter r.
