why the canvass should not proceed with
out acrimony or heat. 1t will be an hon
orable competition between honorable gem
tlemen, each entitled to a fair field, and
each willing to succeed only by fair, open
handed and worthy methods. No one
doubts that Mr.. Stickney has before
him an honorable political career. Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Fletcher has the
respect and confidence of many good men
who would be glad to see him advanced,
sooner or later, to tho position held in
1865 by his honored father, Governor
Ryland Fletcher. Neither Of them will be
turned down." by postponement of their
promotions at this time; and this paper
will be ready when the time Of either
comes, to give him as cordial support as
we now give to Mr.. Grout, If the Major
lives till next October he will, we doubt
not be the next governor Of Vermont.
N. Is. The Free Press still believes in
the principle and policy of giving each
good governor, State senator and town
representative at least one reelection.
The day for that change is bound to come,
though not now at hand.

Senator John Sherman considers the
overwhelming rejection of the silver bill
by the House a final verdict against free
coinage. The next Congress, he says,
firmly believe. will be for sound money in
both House and Senate. and the free silver
movement will be at an end as a political
issue. The greatest measure OF import
ance now is the tariff bill. I do not see
why the democrats should oppose the bill.
1t Is not framed on protection lines. and
would increase the revenues sufficiently to
relieve the treasury and the adminstra-
ton from embarrassment am confident
that President Cleveland would allow the
tariff bill to become law If 1t passed Con-
gress, even though he did not sign It, As
the situation now is, President Cleveland
would be justified In suspending all public
work which is not absolutely necessary.
By so doing he would stop the deficit and
place the treasury balance on the other
side"

VERMONT POLITICS.
What the Press of the Groen Mountain
Stata 4. eevinv on tho Snbipct

We do not remember a gentleman, whose
name has been mentioned for the honor
able position of governor of our State,
who was so generally acceptable as Is
Major Josiah Grout of Derby. He Is a
man of large native ability and his train
ing and experience have been the best of
the kind to fit him for the Office of chief
executive OF Vermont. He is universally
popular and highly esteemed wherever
he Is known. As soldier, as a lawyer, as
q manufacturer, as a farmer, as a legisla-
tor and as speaker of the House of Rep
reseDtatives he has been decided success.
He Is self-made in the sense that every
poor boy in Vermont who succeeds, is self
made. He is a man to be relied upon
ywhere.-Bradford Opinion.
What's the matter with Grout and Par
fridge for Governor and Lieut.. Governor?
Vermont Republicans cannot do better
this year than to select these two able and
loyal sons Of the Green Mountain State
for standard bearers.-Swanton Courier.
Senator Proctor is quoted by Washing
ton despatch as falling into line with the
rest of New England In support of Reeds
candidacy for the presidential nomination.
The Senator has no doubt that Vermont
sentiment is strongly for Reed but holds,
and wisely that our Vermont delegation
ought not to have it's hands tied by In
structions. 1t Is evidently an open secret
that the Vermont delegation in Washing
ton now look with confidence for Mr.
Reeds nomination, with Allison as the
probable winner If the man from Maine
fails of uccess.-Brattleboro Phoenix.
The Vermont Waterman is booming Mr.
Stlckney for the governorship and trying
Its best to bring the record of Major Grout
into dsrepute. Can't the Waterman boom
Mr. Stickney without abusing Mr.. Grout.
Wilmington Times,
Congressman Grout of Vermont believes
race. but thipEs that If Reed and McKin-
ley should go into convention with about
equal strength, the nomination will proba-
bly, go to Allison. At the present time
however, Reed seems to be fairly ahead.
and the general impression at Washington
Is that he will be able to hold the lead to
the finish. Mckinley will have a fine sup
port In the convention, and many enthu-
siastic friends, but the combination WILL in
all probability be against him,-Windsor
Journal.
1t looks as IL Major Grout would cap
ture the next governorship In Vermont.
Amng the candidates for lieutenant-gov-
ernor who stand chance of getting there
is Frank d. White of Rutland. He is
bright young lawyer of the Marble City.
is well versed In State House ways, and his
nomination would evidence the progress
which the young man In politics is making.

Matthew Arnold on George p. Marsh.

Among the published letters of Matthew
Arnold is one to his wife dater at Turin
Italy. June %, 1865, in which he refers TO
Hon. George p. Marsh. He writes: Yes
terday l paid school and other visits.
Among the latter, one to Mr.. Marsh, the
American minister. who Is a savant, and
has written an excellent book on the Eng
fish language. He Is a TALL stout, homely-
looking man of about fifty-five, redeemed
from Yankeeism by his European resi-
dence and culture. l like him very much
and his wife is handsome woman When
you find that rara avis, a really well-bred
and trained American, you feel the bond
of race directly"
The compliment TO Mr.. Marsh, If some
what patronizlng, Is q rather unusually
hearty one for Mr.. Arnold to make, and in
view of 1t Mr.. Marsh's townsmen at least
may perhaps forgive the Englishman his
fling at "Yankeeism' and his assertion
that well-bred American is a rarity. 1t
would surprise Mr. Matthew Arnold, were
he living, TO be told that George p. Marsh
was a well-bred and cultivated man when
he went to Italy as United States minis
ter four years before Mr.. Arnold met him
there; and that his culture was chiefly ac-
quired in his native State of Vermont.
As for breeding, we fancy that in any
case Mr.. Marsh would not have needed
lessons from the man who once at a pri-
vate breakfast table. In a polished Amer
lean home where he and his daughter
were guests. turned to the latter and in
the plain hearing of his host and hostess,
said: TRY one of these things they call
buckwheat cakes, my dear-they are not
half as nasty as they look"
