The MISUNDERSTANDING.

Concurrent opinion having settled
upon Col. Z. A. Woodbury. of Bur-
Iington for Vermont's next Governor
attention is now being turned to the
Lieutenant-G overnorship. Opinions
are strongly at variance as to the
right man for this office and a light
smart contest is likely to be had be-
fore it's incumbent is chosen. Fair

Woodbury. and Mansurl Each with
an empty sleeve, but possessing heads
full of brains and common sense. At
tributes that are essential in the
positions they are likely to oc-
cupy ere long.-Bradford Opinion.
When the proper time arrives we
respectfully suggest that probably
Col. q. Nj. Mansur's friends in Essex
County and elsewhere in the State
will have a word to say on this most
interesting question of the Lieuten-
ant Governorship. 1t might be well
for our esteemed contemporaries to
keep an eye on the one-armed genial
old soldier, up in spunky Essex
Those papers which name B. F.
Lincoln as Republication Lieutenants
Governor will do the state a good
service if they succeed in securing his
nomination. Mr.. Lincoln is not
taIker but he is a doer, and never ac-
cepts charge of any kind to which
he does not give earnest, competent
and faithful service. He is self-made
man, self-reliant, has the courage OF
his conviction, is true to his princi-
pies, and believes in honesty in poll
| ties as we'll as in business. He would
honor the position. If the party
| wants him it will have to seek and
| find him, as he has business of his
own and never pushes for political
| preferment. But whatever position
| he accepts he will fill or die in the at
tempt.-Lyndon Union.
The putting of Hon. B. T. Lincoln
into the field by the Lyndonville
Journal is meeting with gratifying
encouragement from various promi-
nent sources, and neither do we hear
any dissenting voice in this line.
There are host of candidates named
throughout the State by the various
journals, who express their individual
preferences in some prominent local
parsonage; but we don't believe the
majority of them do SO with any
great amount of earnestness-slmply
a matter of courtesy. But IN noml-
mating Mr.. Lincoln, we have in view
the welfare of the community and
State, and put forward a person
whom we know will do for the inter
ests of the commonwealth more than
the common run of public men. His
nomination was voluntary with the
Journal editor, and by no suggestion
of Mr.. Lincoln or any of his allies.
He seeks not the Office, but the office
seeks him l-Lyndonville Journal.
Hitherto we have refrained from
saying anything about the candidacy
of any individual for Lieutenant
Governor in the coming campaign,
and have been carefully watching the
development of public opinion on this
subject as reflected by the press of
the State. The silence of the Herald
is not to be attributed to any feeling
of indifference in respect to the candi- |
dacy of one of our own citizens. But |
now that it is suggested that our 81
lence is being misinterpreted, and
that all fears of being intrusive are
removed, we have to say, what goes
without saying, that the mention of
Col. Mansur's name for that place by
individuals, and also by the press, is
a source of great qualification to the
people of this county. 1t is quite APP
parent that he has come to be in
dorsed very generally throughout
the State. His recentprominence be-
fore the people enables them to judge
for themselves of his qualifications
for the position. 1t is evident that
be is thecoming man.-Essex County
Herald,
