own party for it's shortcomings and
it's present attitude toward the bust
ness interestsof the country was ask
ed why he did not join the republic
ans. His answer was, 81 was born
democrat, am democrat now and
shall die democrat, but hereafter [
shall vote the republican ticket"
That was sensible conclusion to
come to, inasmuch as he could be
nothing but a democrat. When a
party takes a position that is entirely
antagonistic to ones feelings and in
terests, it is time to vote, at least, in
a party which favors and strives for
conditions which help a mans bust
ness. Never, probably, since the dem
ocratic party stood still and let seces-
sion occur, land later, SO far as the ma
iority of it were concerned, went in
to rebellion, has that old party
put itself into so hostile a position
toward every interest which effects
the welfare of New England, and for
that matter, the whole country. The
democrats of New England all feel,
though they do not express it, that
their interests are suffering, aud while
many of them must forever remain
democrats, it is about time that they
commence to vote with some party
which favors their own interests. 1t
is not crime to change politics when
the principles which once made a
party respected and honorable have
been abandoned. ..,.-.-s
. The Vermont Wdtchnadn, with all its
excellent qualities, has a remarkable
capacity, when it undertakes, of ex-
hibiting a narrowness and personal
and sectarian bigotry which are I'M
becoming in a leading journal of
the state. Owing to some fam
cied wrong in the distribution of job
printing patronage, the Waterman
has crooked up it's rigid back against
the Montpelier Seminary and some of
it's faculty and is publishing from time
to time squibs and articles which are
intended to cast reproach on the fac
ulty or the institution. Last week,
when good journalism and courtesy,
not to say decency, would have had
fair and kindly report of the closing
exercises and matters of interest per-
tanning to the school, nothing appear
ed except an item in regard to athlet-
ic games In the same issue several
columns we're given to Kelley In
stitute reunion, showing no lack of
space or ability to gather news. A
journal which is SO hide bound in it's
malice and prejudices as to refuse
to report the doings of, ors to have
kindly word for, an institution which
adds largely to the population, the
business and the good name of it's
town is an object of pity.

But it wouldn't be much
better if you had a whole day
to do the selecting in.
More than 10000 new

else to do from years end,
could master them all.
