STATE POLITICS.


From the St. Adams Messonger.l
The ambition to be selected rs chief
magistrate Of Vermont is a laudable one,
and no word in dispGr agement of the char
acter CT ability Of any gentleman who of
himself or by the efforts Of his friends,
aspred to that honor, has appeared in these
columns. Its objection to the selection of
any OF them has rested entirely upon the
question of their ability TO secure the sup
port of those republicans through whose in
difference or opposition the result of two
years ago was Effected. If tho opinion OF
the FREE Press that Col. Fuller OF Brattle-
boro is the choice of majority of the re-
publican voters is warranted by the action
of tho convention in June, he will have no
more loyal and earnest supporter than the
Messenger. and no one will labor more
zsalously to justify the further opinion of
that paper that he twill poll the full
strength of the party in Vermont" That
the Messenger has not aud does not at pres
ert share that opinion, will not lessen its
efforts to prove that the supporters of Col.
Fuller were the more correct in their judg-
ment.
From the Manchester Journal
The leading candidates for governor seem
to be Fuller of Bratteboro and Fletcher of
Nd'enul5u. DCtu dEe bOCu Iueu anu e!luel
viii make e. good governor If elected.
Fletcher, being the present lieutenant-gov-
ernor will be barred out if the State insists
on the non promotion ruo which has been
operative the past four years
1t is now claimed that the rule is n fool
ish one and that the State should he free
TO choose the best man regardless Of rule.
This is what we claimed two years ago, but
it did not work then. If this rule is now to
be done away with why not abolish the
mountain rule also
We are sorry to notice the methods
adopted by some Of the papers TO defeat
Fuller, We hope the canvass for governor
may proceed il spirit of fairness that will
leave no bitterness. Whoever is nominated
republicans must be united, and we must
roll up big majority for the successful
candidate next September

Gov. Fletcher or Hon. W. Z. johnson of

two very good things can be SAID about all

just how those supporters of Mr.. Fletcher
who two years ago upheld the non promo
ton rule will manifest to the State at large
sincere ''change of heart" as regards that
doctrine remains to be seen. Meantime
Col. Fuller is being abused for all he is
worth and by those organs who have come
out decidedly for Mr.. Fletcher If the non
promotion ruio is to be broken it would
seem to be in order to give Lieut., Gov,

LiIOhl llo burning ION AIllpeI,
This Journal has waited patiently for the
"oast sido' to present its canddates--ior
10 the east side' falls the honor this year.
Tho names prominently mentioned are Col.
Levi K. Fuller Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher and
Hon Victor l. Spear
or these cGndldates-and it is not likely
that other names VIII be seriously cousid-
cred at this late day--the Clipper believes
that Col. Levi Is. Fuller is tho man best
qualified to ill tho gubernatorial chair Tor
the next two years, There is certainly no
qualification mentioned for consideration in
the other two candidates which does not up-
ply with equal force to Col. Fuller, while in
some particulars 1t must be admitted that
he has superiority over those geutlemen.
His acknowledged business ability, his ex-
tensiye and worthwhile acquaintance, his
high standing us representative OF a bust
ness which is the pride of Vermont and
which comments itself TO the highest esteem
Of the commercial world, places Col. Fuller
in position, where as governor OF Yer
mont Lie could do much to advance the ain
tercsts Of tie State, especially at tho
world fair.
Ninuham county has had no governor for
10 years while Windsor county has had
three during that period and Orange county
has haoA favored with n governor within
the pas, .ew years. This will be an i'm
porIGut consideration to many voters who
believe IN far play, now that Winlham
county presents so worthy u candidate as
Col, Fuller
We believe that large majority of the
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1892-05-12

We favor Fuller because he possesses, in
greater degree, the qualities essential in a
Inan who asptes to Tie governorship, than
any Candidate yet named.
