The republicans of the First COMPRESSION
al district acquitted themselves most credit
ably in their convention at Rutland Thurs
day. The attendance was large, the
proceedings harmonious and the enthus-
iasm Of that character which indicates
settled determination to win gloriously.
The result of the days work was to com
plete Vermont's delegation to the national
republican convention in a thoroughly
satisfactory manner, and it is safe to say
that our State will be heard from at
Minneapolis, as it was heard from In the
grand assembly which nominated Benjamin
Harrison in 1888.
The denomination OF Congressman
Powers was foregone conclusion. Al
though, as he said in his speech Thursday,
he has scarcely had time to learn the way to
the capitol, he has already won an enviable
reputation and place in the House, and he
enjoys an influence not possessed by
many OF the older members. 1t is mani
testify evident that he has a brilliant career
before him in the national councils and in
honoring him by removed expression OF
their confidence the republicans of the first
district reflected credit upon themselves and
upon the State.
The speeches made by Congressman Reed
and Judge Powers at Rutland Thursday
were powerful and convincing statements OF
| the national issues OF the day and the enthu-
siastio manner in which they were received
showed that the republicans are to be thor
ouShly iu earnest in the campaign now fair
| ~ begun. The republicans OF Vermont dc
not need to be educated in regard to ma
tional issues but, as Mr.. Reed said, they
merely need to have their spirits renewed.
| The tonic received by the party in this
/ State during the past two days has had a
most invigoratng effect, and il it can be
supplemented by the presence Of Major Nc
! Kinley or some other national speaker al
/ the coming State convention in Burlington,
as it is now hoped may lie the case, the Yer
mont republicans will have received oil the
outside help necessary to assure rousna
ma jority in September.

From the Newport Express
In this contest for the governorship we
notice some OF the State papers are indulg-
ing in mud singing. Now VIC deprecate
this kind Of warfare and do not believe 1t
pays. In this reco several excellent men
are competing for the prize, which is hon
orable. We r'risr to have man frankly
bay that he wants the office, and then use
honorable and fair means to obtain 1t. This
idea that the Office should seek the man is
all well enough, but tho instances are eI-
ceedingly few, where an office OF this kind
drops into mans lap without effort on his
part. Men work for Office as a rule In one
form or another. Both George +. Edmunds
and Justin S. Morrill, at different times
found it necessary to work to retain their
places in tho Senate, and that they put in
much honest effort to accomplish their ends
is well known to the State, and no one
thought any less Of them.
We congratulate the east side that ii has
many worthy mon, from which to select a
governor. In Orleans county Josiah Grout
of Derby and Charles A. Prouty Of New
port, have been spoken Of by many Of the
leading papers of the State, and either OF
them would fill the bill Hon. Franklin
Fairbanks OF St. Johusbury is named by
Caledonia county He is a gentleman of
culture and refinement, one OF the best
business mon in New England, and would
make governor OF which the State would
be proud. Orange county names Victor L.
| Spear of Bruintrec, Washington county
Hon. William Chaplin of Middlesex, Wind
sor county Hon. Henry a. Fletcher Of Cav
endsh, all farmers. Should the guberna-
torial lightning strike either Of them in this
case, the interests of the State would be
well and ably cared for.
Last but not least Windham county puts
forth the name Of Hon. Levi X. Fuller of
| Brattleboro.
Mr.. Fuller is at the head of the Estey
organ factory, famous the world over. He
is a gentleman whose reputation Is without
spot, large experience as a legislator, and
business man, having been State senator
and Acknowledgements, and would lie an
| honor to the State in the governors chair.
From this time on we hope tho mud
throwing will cease, as there certainly is nc
occasion for it, for if any one Of these gen
tlemen are selected, Vermont will be hon
ored.

ADVANCE IN INSURANCE RATES.
Towns Supplied with water Works and
Fire Departments Fare Best

Towns Supplied with water Works and
Fire Departments Fare Best.
As has been seen in these columns from
time to time, the rates of fire insurance
have been advanced in all parts Of the coun-
try. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, st. Louis and all the large cities have
received an increase of from 10 to 31A per
cent
The following towns in Vermont being
well supplied with water works and fire de-
partments, hav5 received an advance Of 10
per cent: Barre, Bellows Falls, Bennng-
ton, Burlington, Brattleboro, Barton, Bran
don, Fairhaven, Hardwick, Island Pond,
Middebury, Montpelier, MorrisviIle, New
port, North Troy, Poultney, ReadSboro,
Richford, Rutland, St. Albans, Springfield,
St. Johnsbury, Swanton, Vergennes, Wind
sor, West Randolph, Winooski, Woodstock.
Private dwellings, stables aud contents,
clothing stores and contents, boot aud shoe
factories, paper, pulp, leather and board
mills, cotton and woollen mills knitting
mills, electric light and power stations, and
risks rated by the factory Improvement
committee have specific rates. In all other
localities in the state 20 per cent advance Is
made on all property, excepting the above
mentioned. Farm property Is written for
three and four years. Country stores
hotel, liyeries, saw mills, grst mills, cheese
factories, churches, blacksmith shops. cap
peuter shops, wheelwright shops, lumber
yards, etc, havo a specific rating.
The Insurance companies have been
obliged to charge more Tor insurance on ac-
count Of the great number of fires and cnor-
nous losses all over the country. The tut
ureiof insurance and insurance companies
is most vital to the greatest interests OF the
country; business cannot be done without
insurance, and insurance in companies that
are not safe and prompt to pay losses is
worse tEau no insurance, as 1t creates gen
era dissatisfaction and suspicion. The pres
ent outlook is that Congress will adopt some
national law in regard to buildngs and in
surance, which will be OF the greatest inn
portance to the companies rs well as the in
sured. II all places used the same care in

Col. Fuiier's Qualifications.

LF rom the BrattleDOrO fnCenlX.l
Col. Fuler's friends consider that one C:
his best qualifications for the gubernatocial
nomination lies in the fact that he is not
only n man OF excellent ability, hut that he
is a progressive and growing man, anxious
to be well informed on all current topics,
and to acquit himself creditably OF every
duty required of him In every position,
public or private, which he has ever filed,
he has manifested this quality, and shown
himself equal to all the demands made upon
him. That he would prove himself thus
well equipped, man of broad ideas, and
capable both to organic and to lead and
direct, should be b. elected this year to fiji
the chair OF the Vermont governorship, is
a fact we'll assured in advance. No man in
Vermont is more thoroughly identified with
the industrial interests OF the State, or more
in sympathy with her people. No man
could do more toward the proper represen-
tation of Nermont's resources at the great
worlds fair in Chicago, aud none would
command for the State greater respect and
confidence both at home and abroad. 1t is
on these grounds, as already intimated,
that Col Fulers friends will give him
strong and united support for the gubernn-
torial nomination at the State convention in
