INITIATING A PEER.
Ceremony of Making Sir Hercules
Robinson Lord ROsemead.

hopthSVh bf"f" AhVTNt"NNN'
Sir Hercules Robinson, the
now famous Governor of Cape
Colony, has been made Peer OF
the Realm, and his initiation in
to the House of Lords is thus des-
scribed by the London cores
podent of the Sydney Telegraph:
Lord Rosemead (Sir Hercules
Robinson) is very much better,
and sailed for the Cape on Satur-
day. His friends, however, state
emphatically he does not intend
to remain there a moment longer
than is necessary to settle the
Transvaal difficulties, and see
South Africa generally simmer
down. AT present I'm bound to
say there does not appear an i'm
mediate prospect of the latter con-
tingency. The Daily Mail spe-
cial scare commissioner is indeed
trying hard to make us believe
that a Boer instruction involving
nothing less than the seizure of
South Africa is in contemplation.
y Lord Rosemead took his seat in
the House of Lords on Thursday,
his introducers being Lord Kin
tore and Lord Balfour of Bur.
leigh. No doubt had the Anglo
Colonial community known any
thing about the ceremony, many
representative Australians would
have been present. As things
were, Sir William and Lady Ro-
binson and Mr.. Philip Mennell
seem to have BEEN the most i'm
portant onlookers. The latter
says the embryo peer bore him
self with characteristic "savoir
faire" in his gorgeous robes, which
by no means enhance eyerybody's
dignity. He looked in excellent
health, and does not appear to
have suffered in any serious way
from the worries attendant on re-
cent events in South Africa. Lord
Kintore is a man of inches, but
his stature was completely dwarf
ed by that of his co introducer,
Lord Balfour of Burleigh.
The ceremony of admins
tering the oath or oaths was a
rather protracted one, and there
was feeling OF relief when at
last Lord Rosemead left the table,
and with his two supporters went
through the prescribed obeisances
to the Woolsack from the height
of the backmost Opposition bench
:, Here, through some faulty arith-
metic, only two were made where
three were due, but the "eontre'
temps" was quickly rectified at g
hint from the richly. bedight Sil
Michael Siddulp. The new peer
was now fully pledged, and al
liberty to retire and disrobe, to
his evident relief. The cumbrous
formalities of the previous few
moments had made him a mem
Der of one of the most ancient and
illustrious hereditary assemblies
in the world.

Objection to the Old Crowd,

A Stickney delegation was elected a

evening, and this right in the face anC
eyes of the Free Press, which not only
claims to be the '.ablest edited paper
in the state, but to represent the senti
ment of the Republicans ofBurlington
We do not know but Major Grout is the
choice Of a majority of the Republicans
of Burlington. This may be true, but
we do know that the young Republi.
cans, there and elsewhere, have become
extremely weary of simply walking up
and taking the medicine dealt out 10
them year after year by a certain cle-
ment. There is no particular objection
to Grout, but there is great objection
to the old crowd continually manipu-
lating the "band wagon. ~, orfisville

good man. He certainly cannot com.
plain If such is the verdict for the dis
trict has honored him by repeated cleo
tons. There should be no life-tenure
of public office. If the district can be
as well served by new man, it will
be justified in making the change. In
our opinion it can be by the choice Of
either one Of these three candidates.
From long and intimate acquaint-
ance with Hon. Frank Plumley; from
a knowledge of his early struggles to
obtain a livelihood and an education
from an appreciation ofhis honor and
standing as 4 lawyer, q Republican and
a citizen, and from a belief in his ca
pacity to properly represent the district
in Congress, we are led to favor his
nomination.
What the chances are we cannot sur
mise. 1t is unfortunate that this Con-
gressional contest did not open earlier
so as to give the voters more opportu-
nifty to formulate their ideas.

Not Circuit, But the Ring.

The Republicans OF Vermont are in
terested in the present gubernatorial
contest as never before within our
memory. The Page-Woodbury cam
paign is the only precedent oflate years
and it pales into insignilicance before
the contest that is now on. Caucuses
all over the state are very largely at
tended, often approaching in numbers
the full party vote. The results are
quickly heralded and the newspapers
eagerly scanned by excited readers.
Why is all this interest shown? Not
for love or loyalty to the candidates
alone, but because principle is ut
stake. The question is not merely
whether Grout or Stickney shall be
governor, but whether the Republican
party, which has always been the party
of liberty and progress, shall delegate
its powers TO a few men and content
itself with ratifying their action year
after year, or shall. with firm emphasis,
declare its disapproval of such practices
and its intention to sacredly guard its
dearest right-thc right to act accord
inc to its own desires, unhampered and
unpledoed.
The choice is. ring rule or the rule
Of the people. BY this we do not mean
to charge all of Mr. Grouts supporters
with being advocates of ring rule, for
many of them are earnest and loyal Re-
publicans who are attracted to the can
didate of their choice by personal or
social ties, and some by an honest pref
erence, which we respect. But it is
undeniably true that the ring workers
with hardly an exception are arrayed
on CIRCUITS side and TO choose him as
the candidate would be to endorse and
those political methods
which are abhorrent to the majority of
1t is not Grout but this
ring that the voters are seeking to hit
and, as Lincoln said about slavery, III
they GET chance they will hit it hard

Martin has been an active figure in the
state for many years and is especially
known as an eX-speaker of the House.
Gen. CIRCUITS record is too familiar for
rehearsal. He has been in the nation

years.
This contest is quite probably pre-
cipitated by the struggle over the gov
ernorship, but what effect each will
have on the other is uncertain. While
nearly all are ready to agree that Gen.
Grout has done creditably during his
term, there is a strong belief that he
has hell the office long enough and
ought to retire in favor of some other

The Political Day of Jubilee al Hand.

Ii is only fair to say that many GOOD
friends of Maj. Grout have their doubts
about his securing the nomination. Or
ange county is expected to be the Dor
der battle ground to great extent; the
reports Of caucuses in that district will
be awaited with great interest.
The whole movement against the two
brothers is the outcome of events which
have slowly but surely been moving
toward a political revolution in Ver-
mont, There is not so much of per-
sonal element in the strife, not so much
of a contest against the individuals
themselves, as there is a growing de-
termination to put an end to certain
conditions which have governed the
political destinies Of this state for the
past % years.
The long-prcdicted politicalovcrturn
in Vermont is fast approaching, and, if
it is not witnessed this month. the
events of this month will only renderit
more certain in 1898. Vermont Letter

vince intelligent people that Maj .Grout
is the candidate of the ring it can be
found in thoughtful reading of the

X Fuller was the candidate of the same
ring four years ago. There was not a
question of it, There was the same gen
eral dissatisfaction among Republicans
over the cut-and-dried program that
there is today. But it was difficult to
unite the opposition on any one candi-
date. Victor /. Spear and Henry A.
Fletcher, both representative men and
practical farmers, entered the contest
at a late hour and if the votes they re-
ceived in the convention had been unit
ed it would have made a good show

Now where did Grout stand in this
contest between ring and farmer cam

supporters, he turned his back-even
anerily-upon those who would have
been glad to have voted for him in OPP
position to Fuller. Though aprofessed
farmer, he fought the farmer element
and ''took off his coat" for Fuller, the
ring favorite. Now, he not only de-
mands pay for his services from Full
ler's friends, which, on the principle
of ''scratch-my-ba c k-a nd-l'll-scratch-
yours" he may do consistently, but he
has the brazen etirontery to plead for
the farmers votes as a farmer candi-

Wonder if the Free Press thinks now
that Grout's nomination will be by ac-

to the effect that Stickney's name will
shortly be withdrawn? How about

WHAT is a ..ReguIar'' Can didate /.

The Burlington Clipper in speaking
of the result OF the Burlington caucus
gives the credit OF the Stickney victory
to the young men, which is certainly
creditable to Burlmgton's young voters.
The Clipper says:
"lIis (Stickney's) majority of 16S on
a total of 62S votes came from the
young voters who sought to show their
independence Of the party leading by
voting in opposition to the regular can
didate."
Here is surprising statement,in one
direction, and laughable one too.
What does the contemporary mean by
saying that they voted ''in opposition
to the regular candidate" meaning Of
course Maj. Groutp Who or what has
made Grout any more regular candi-

needs explaining. 1t is an old saving
