ard OF party advantage rather than
the public veal. New York being
regarded as q pivotal state it is OF the
greatest consequence whether she is TO
redeem herself from the disgraceful
rule OF Tammany or not. The whole
| country watches the great struggle. Ii
has read with amazement and disgust
the revelations of municipal corruption
and debauchery which have been laid
before the public, and it watches with
anxious solIcitude the decision of the

the next house of representatives, shall be

Dir. Harrison refers to the business
situation as "drylng up process.
Values have been shrinking, and secur-
tiles have been scaling down TIL every
property owner and every man who
worked for wages have felt its bligbting
Influence. "WhOeyer is responsible for
this condition upon the country carries
heavy burden. This closing of the

down In wages. How can one compete
who pays for his labor 81 a day with
another who pays 80 cents day."
This embraces the whole situation.

To be sure Lamoille county is
highly gratified with the unanimous
given her distinguished
son, H. Henry Powers, for Congress.
The Judge is known up and down
the State as a faithful and efficient
representative and during the time
already served in Congress has won
an enviable reputation. He is re-
garded by tue House as a strong
member and the fact that he is the
only New England representative
given a position upon the Judiciary
Committee-one of the most impor-
tant in Congress-shows that his
legal ability is appreciated by that
body. No district in the Union is
better represented in Congress than

The attempt on the part of few
at the recent State convention to be-
little a candidate because he hap
pened to come from county in which
another State officer resided was
emphatically squelched, as it ought
to be. If the best men for the entire
State ticket all live in the same coun-
ty we see no reason why they should
not be selected. We do not believe
location should have first considera-
tion-it should be the man first, loca-
ton afterwards. In this connection
we wish to express our disapproval
of the so-called mountain rule. The
custom of see-sawing back and forth
over the mountains is ridiculous.
Pick the best men, no matter in what
portion of the State they may hap
pen to reside, and the ticket will be
stronger and better.

JUSTICE FOR AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
The more carefully the Democratic
wooden schedule isexamined the more
thoroughly vicious it appears. An
especially outrageous feature, to
which the N. Y. Press has already al
luded, is the section which reduces the
duty on wool of the sheep, hair of
the camel, goat, alpaca or other like
animals in the form of rowing, roping
or tops" to fifteen per cent. ad val
orem. The Wilson bill as it passed
the House, made these products duti-
able at % per cent. That eminent
foreign born expert in bankruptcy
and business disaster, Jacob Schoep-
hof, to whose hands the Bourbon
politicians in the Senate intrusted the
framing of schedules involving hun
dreds of millions of capital and the
welfare of hundreds of thousands OF
operatives, refused to allow even the
House rates to stand, and cut down
the duty to 10 per cent. If the bill
passes with this iniquitous provision
in it, large majority of American
spinning plants will be permanently
closed, their operatives will be turned
adrift in poverty and idleness, and
their business will be transferred to
Europe.

The State Ticket.

As was long ago predicted the State
convention last week placed at the
head of the Republican ticket Urban
A. Woodbury. of Burlington. That
the convention made wise choice is
admitted by all. Mr.. Woodbury. is
a progressive Vermonter. Early in
the sixties he enlisted in the war for
the Union and after a faithful service
there, giving his right arm to the ma
ton, he returned to Vermont and
ever since has been identified with
everything pertaining to the growth
and development of our State. Sue
cessful in his private business he has
not, as is very frequently the case,
boarded his money, but has given
literally to numerous enterprises,
which but for this financial aid and
his personal assistance would have
been failures. In all of the various
public positions to which he has been
called he has served faithfully and
well, and in the position which he
will soon occupy, the highest in the
State, will he make a successful and
honorable record. While not ma
tive of this county, yet here where he
spent his boyhood days and early
manhood is he held in high regard,
and as a manifestation of this es-
TEEN "Spunky Lamoille" will roll
up an old time majority for him in
September next. ....
For the second place on the ticket
the honor is conferred upon one
who is man of ability, integrity
and upright Christian character
Zophar M. Mansur of Island Pond
like Col. Woodbury., when but g
youth entered the army and he, too
laid an arm upon the nations altar
Returning home he has devoted his
time to various callings, and in al
of them has rendered "a faithful and
true account of his stewardship. Elk
perience in both the House and Sen
ate especially fits him for the seconG
place in the States official list.
The remaining offices, Secretary O
State, Treasurer and Auditor, are al
filed by men of ability and charac
ter, and in the denomination of eact
of these, Messrs. Brownell, Field anc
Hale, have the Republicans shown
wise and excellent judgment. An ex
ceptionally strong ticket is placed il
the field, and there is not the leas
doubt but that every county in tn
State will give it rousing vote, ant
a majority equal to if not exceeding
that in 1888, when it gave the ticke
$4,000 majority, may be expected.
