News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1894-10-11

Baltimore, which enjoys the dis
tinction of being the smallest town
in the State, cast no votes for State
officers, ballots being east simply for
representative and justices of the
peace.
The official canvass of the Guber-
material vote shows these totals !:
Woodbury., 1866; Smith, 13, 142 /;
McGinnis, Peoples partly, 739 I;
Whittemore. (Prohibitionist, 464.
Woodbury's plurality, 29,514; ma
jority, 2S,311.
The division of the town of West
more in Orleans county and setting
off a piece of the city of Rutland to
the town, with a contest over the
seating of a representativeirom West
Burke, are matters that will create
some interest during the session.
AS usual the Legislature has voted
each member two papers during the
session-to be paid for at the expense
of the State. There was a slight OPP
position to the movement, but the
member who raised the objection was
sat upon" very heavily.
Lamoille County is we'll represent
ed at the State capitol this session.
In addition to our Senator and a full
quota of Representatives, we have
Geo. NJ. Powers of Morrisville as Sec
rotary of the Senate 7. C.. Cheney of
Morrisville as I'd assistant Clerk of
the House, and Master Max Wilson
of Johnson a Page in the House.
Ex-Gov. Proctor has presented to
the State the full length portrait
painted by Robert Gordon Hardie a
year ago. The portrait represents
the Ex-Governor in the act of address
ing visitor-perhaps a caller at the
executive chamber. The State coat
of arms is seen in the background.
Gov. Woodbury's staff will have
one delicious snap which previous
aides-de-camp have not enjoyed, in
asmuch as his Excellency is president
of candy manufacturing concern.
Governor Fuller is understood to
have fed his colonies Orvis Equinox
water and peanuts, but these comes
tibles are not in it with chocolates
and gum drops. This will cause a
terrible envy to rage in the breast of
the ancient Col. Forbes.-Hardwick
Gazette.
The Australian ballot law, passed
four years ago and tinkered two years
ago, will be amended, and may be re-
pealed so far as it concerns the small
towns. There will probably be an
attempt to repeal the school law, but
the event will undoubtedly prove that
this law has come to stay. The adop-
ton of the revised statutes will af-
ford an opportunity for enemies of
any of the present statutes to secure
their repeal, and developments will
be watched with lively interest.
1t is doubtful if much that is new
or radically changing will be Origi-
mated at this session, but there is no
doubt that several. laws will be
thoroughly gone over. Prominent
among these are the school, highway
and elections laws, all of which will
be scrutinized line by line. 1t is
probable, also, that an attempt will
be made to secure some modification
of the liquor law. The usual appeal
for woman suffrage will be made, and
while the movement has many friends
in this Assembly, yet it will, of course,
fail ignOminiOusly.
