Harrison and Reid.

All republican Vermont rejoices with
joy unalloyed over the nomination of
Benjamin Harrison at Minneapolis;
or if there is an element of alloy in the
pleasure Vermonter's feel in the con-
summation of their hopes and in the an
swer to their prayers, its presence is in
nowise traceable to the great event of
Friday afternoon, in the far Northwest.
Harrison was Vermont's first and only
choice so long as he had square inch
of fighting ground, and the state will
vote for him in September with a fer
vor and unanimity no other nominee
could have inspired.
The republican national convention
has acted up to the best traditions of
the party. 1t has achieved a great
victory-a victory over itself, over the
element in the party that has not always
won or earned the party's respect and

Colonel Fuller's Candidature.

The WATCHMAN has nothing to add
to the considerations it has presented
in favor of Colonel Fuller's candidacy
during the pre-convention canvass. 1t
believes the reasons that have been
given-particularly those addressed to
the farmers-why Colonel Fuller should
be nominated for governor have been
fairly stated. Those reasons have never
been successfully answered, and no APP
proach to fair and rational answer has
been made. With all impartial men
those reasons are entirely conclusive,
and that they will be conclusive with
an overwhelming majority of the re-
publicans of Vermont is foreshadowed
by the results of caucuses thus far held.
Returns from thirty-eight towns show
that Fuller has 1874 delegates, Fletcher
six, Johnson seven, uninstructed eight
cen. Among the towns which have
during the last week chosen Fuller del
egates are Bennington, Bradford, Bris-
toll, Springfield, and number of exclu-
sively farming towns. Rutland county's
delegation stands seventy for Fuller to
twenty-three opposed. Half, at least,
of the st. Adams delegates are reported
for Fuller. The larger part of Gale
donia, Orleans and Essex counties is
undoubtedly for Fuller, and the out
look from the state at large is so favor
able that hope is reasonably enter
tanned that the nomination will be by
reclamation. From a party point of
view, this is a contamination greatly to
be desired, and one that the wiser and
more judicious leaders are earnestly
counseling. The bulk of the caucuses
will be held this week. The WATCH
MAN hopes that they will be well at
tended, that there will be full and
free discussion of any differences of
opinion on this governor question, that
action will be deliberate and well-con-
sidered, and that the delegates chosen
will attend the convention. 1t will be
the opening of the campaign in Yer
mont and there should be a good rous-
ing meeting.

Note and Comment.

As above stated. we think the drift is
towards Colonel Fuller, and this being
so we hope his strength will become so
controlling before the convention that
no other name will be presented. Nor
do we look upon this as improbable, as
we think the solid sense of the people
of the state look upon nomination by
reclamation as most desirable in this
presidential year. 1t will insure a
rousing majority in Septe mber, and
that is what we all want. Colonel
Fuller will make a candidate every way
worthy the full vote of the party. He
is Christian gentleman, of good
ability and habits, philosophical, full
of enterprise and energy, of dignified
and courteous address, and will make
good executive officer. We have no
authority to speak for this county, but
hope and believe it will give him full
and cordial support in the convention
and at the polls.-Ne,cport Cypress.
THE half-dozen newspapers of more
or less influence which are vainly OPP
posing Colonel Fuller have been busy
for some days explaining the cause of
this marked preference for him, but
appear totally unable to give the cor
rect reason, either from ignorance of
facts or from prejudice-the latter
seeming TO be the real cause. In every
delegation thus far chosen large ma
jority of the members are leading citi-
zens, and to intimate that the caucu ses
have been manipulated, or that the re-
suit does not represent the prevailing
sentiment on the gubernatorial canvass,
is as absurd as it is malicious. B,rling-
ton Clipper
SINCE the withdrawal of Colonel
Franklin Fairbanks of 81. JOhnsbury
from the gubernatorial contest there
has been a steady and unmistakable
leaning among the republicans of this
section towards the Brattleboro candi-
date, and we believe that Colonel Levi
X. Fuller has a strong following in
Caledonia county. The movement has
been steadily gaining ground all over
the state; he has been recognized as
the leading candidate from the start,
and is now the only candidate with any
considerable following. Colonel
Fuller is man whose character is
above reproach, whose successful bust
ness methods are to be commended,
and whose candidacy has been volun-
tarily espoused by leading republicans
all over the state. We confidently ex-
pect to see him nominated at Burling-
ton, June %, and believe he will make
good governor.-St. JohnSbtwy Gale,

Mexico in President Arthur's admin
istration. These latter, it will be re-
membered, were not ratified by the
senate, for the principle of reciprocity
was then not well understood. Cen
eral Foster is said to have had more
experience in foreign affairs than al
most any man now in active political
life. Either he or Secretary Tracy
would make strong secretary of state.
Assistant Secretary Wharton is said to
be thinking of running for congress in
his district in Massachusetts, and his
name has not been connected with the
secretaryship. -
SENATOR MCPHERSON took occasion,
a short time ago, to criticise the report
of Senator Morril's committee on the
effect of the Mckinley law on agricul-
ture in Canada and the Northern states.
To these structures Senator Morrill, re-
plies in language which can leave no
doubt as to what he thinks of the
matter. He says:
The fact that our farmers receive higher
prices than the Canadians, by at least as
much as the duties, is obvious enough from
the fact that otherwise Canadian products
would not be exported to the United States
without loss. 1t will not be disputed that
our present tariff was intended not only to
obtain revenue, but to secure more largely
our home market for American producers.
The result shows that Canadian farm pro-
ducts have been somewhat diverted from the
United States to Great Britain, but prices
have been less than the prices heretofore
received in the United States. The past
year $500, 900 dozen eggs were exported by
Canada to Great Britain instead OF 5000
dozen. Canada also sent to England nearly
ten times as many horses this year as last
year. The diversion of Canadian products
from the United States cannot have failed
to enlarge the home market for our own
farm products. Nor has it interfered with
our usual amount of exports to Great Brit
ain, nor will it interfere.
1t is of course difficult to trace any
change in the price of agriculture
products to the tariff, yet it is only
common sense to infer that if an i'm
mense quantity of Canadian products
is shut out of our markets the home
producers-and especially those in the
northern frontier states-will be more
or less benefited by 6rmer market
What the farmers of the United States
need above all things is markets, anc
the home market most of all should bt
theirs. The Mckinley law has thi
point constantly in view, and it is thi
fact which assuredly will appeal to thu
sound judgment of the farmers mex
fall.

confidence; and the contest has been
made and the end reached with such
frmness, wisdom and discretion that
no bitterness or heart-burnings are left.
All are ardent Harrison men now, and
in all the spirit of true republicanism
transcends every other feeling, purpose
or ambition. The party will present a
united front in the canvass. All the
energy, persistence and determination
but lately glowing in its own ranks
will now be turned against the common
enemy.
Vermont had never faltered in its be-
lief that no other rational course was
open to the republican party but that
which led straight to the denomination
of the president. The reasons have
been given and there is now no occa-
sion for their repetition. The auspi-
cious event happily achieved, the nomi-
nation receives so strong welcome all
over the Union, reason is so abun-
dainty justified, it is "as clear as the
sun in heaven that a great party and
national disaster has been averted in
the overwhelming defeat and the utter
collapse of all the various combinations
against the president. With every
hour of delay at Minneapolis the presi-
dents cause gained in strength. From
the states where the votes were to be
cast, where reason held sway, there was
poured into the delirium at the conven-
ton city united and resolute demand
to stand by President Harrison. The
clamor of opposition, the oldtime tricks
and devices for stampeding conven-
tions, of drowning reason and captur-
ing delegates, were of no avail. Not
since the days of the historic BOG has a
body of delegates been so wisely led ,
so firmly held together in the face of
wild distractions, as were the forces
of the president. But here the parallel
ends, for in the persuasive eloquence of
Depew, all-pervasive, convincing and
concliatory, no trace of the imperous
Conkling's martial periods and embit-
tered rhetoric was found. The latter
was magnificent, but it was not politics
the former was both, and it won. The
convention at Minneapolis saw the end
of making candidates by the methods
commonly associated with the Chinese
ways of waging war.
The nomination of Whitelaw Reid tC
the vice-presidency completed the good
work of the convention, and is an omen
of success second in brightness only
to that of the denomination of the
president. Mr.. Reid's name is associ
ated only with success-success self.
wrought, honorable, cumulative an(
brilliant. His has been typical Amer
lean career, and his nomination will ado
strength and glory to the ticket.
The republican party has done right
eternally right" in renominating the
president; and it has done right il
manly, dignified, patriotic, whole
hearted, emphatic way-and right il
mighty and will prevail

A YALE sophomore, named Rustin, who
was injured in society initiation, died
last week after suffering intense pain.
During the initiation he was blindfolded
and told to run down the street. While
running he dashed into the pole of car
riage, which entered his abdomen. AS a
result of the sad accident the two junior
societies of the college-Psi Epsilon and
Delta Kappa Epsilon-have voted that
hereafter their initiation ceremonies shall
consist only of signing the constitution.

THE election in Oregon, on last week
Monday, was a sweeping republican
victory, despite the fact that there was
an Alliance ticket in the field which
cast a vote one-sixth as large as the total
vote. Two congressman, judge of
the supreme court, the attorney general
and large majority of the legislature
are elected. Oregon thus echoes back
the note of republican victory struck
by Rhode Island. 1t will be Vermont's
turn in September to catch it up, and it
is to be hoped that republicans through
out the country will find it still clear
and unmistakabe.
