MAJOR CIRCUITS QUALIFICATIONS
(From the Bennington Banner)

The last resort of party In the face of
impending defeat Is to heap abuse upon
his opponent. The Montpelier Waterman
Is not exactly heaping abuse upon Mr..
Grout, yet 1t Is doing It's best to bellttle
him. his abilities, and his career as a pub
lie man in it's efforts to further the candi-
dature OF Mr.. Stickney. With the excep-
ton of the Waterman, the contest be-
tween Mr.. Grout and Mr.. Stckney has
been generally marked by courtesy and
generosity; consequently the words of that
journal sound discordant and harsh. The
Banner. as Is the case of large majority
of the newspapers of Vermont, is heartily
in favor OF the nomination of Mr.. Grout.
All these journals fully acknowledge Mr..
Stickney's worth as a citizen, his ability
as a lawyer, and his value as a legislator
and public servant.
In all the qualifications necessary to
successful administration of the States
affairs, Mr.. Grout, however, can claim an
equality with Mr.. Stickney. But his quail
fications do not end with n simple ability
to match those OF Mr.. Stickney. His ex-
perience In legislative and other public af-
fairs has been much greater and more
varied than that Of the gentleman from
Ludlow.
Early In his long and honorable career,
Mr.. Grout took an earnest and active in
terest in the public tffairs of his town,
county and State, and from that time on,
n run snare OF his time has been devoted
to the interests and affairs of his party
and OF his State. He was a leading MEM
Der of the House of Representatives in
1SI2-'7i-'A'S3 and 'SS. He has twice been
elected to the speakership for n full term
and once to fill an uncxpired term. Other
offices. State and national, have been filed
with credit Mr.. Grout was one of the
prominent citizens OF the State before Mr..
Stickney had entered upon the practice of
law, consequently It will be many years
before the latter can possess the ripe ex-
perience which has been obtained by the
gentleman from Derby.
As lawyer. a business man, a farmer.
and public servant, Mr.. CIRCUITS course
has been marked by care. sound judgment
and success. AS soldier his record Is a
proud one. He entered the service early
in the war and In 1868 received a wound
that was all but fatal. His close touch
with the public men of Vermont his in
Innate knowledge of the needs OF the far
mers OF the State, and the admiration In
which he Is held by the old soldiers. to-
gether with his other qualifications
makes him by far the strongest man that
has yet been mentioned for the governor
ship.
This year the September election In Yer
mont is of peculiar Importance. An old
time rouslng majority is looked for by the
republican leaders to arouse the enthusi-
asm Of the republicans throughout the
country, that the defeat of democracy
may be overwhelming and complete; con-
sequently the strongest candidate Is the
man to be honored with the gubernatoral
nomination.

VERMONT VOTERS NOT FOOLS

Is the choice of the people. Bosh Both
men want the office and that they aspire
to the honorable position is nothing
against either one. Both men have friends
who are pushing their interests as best
they can and while 1t looks as If Major
Grout had pretty good lead at the pres
ent time there Is no indication that he is
not as much the peoples choice" as is
Brother Stckney. This piece of dema-
gogism on the part of Brother Stickney's
newspaper friends will hardly advance his
interests. Voters are not fools.-North-

TIE RUTLAND DIVISION.
President Clement snys tho Reoeivership
VIII Not Affect 1t.

Rutland, March 23.-P. w. Clement,
president of the Rutland Railroad com
pany, commonly known as the Rutland
division of the Central Vermont, was ask
ed this evening what effect the Central
Vermont receivership will have on the
Rutland road. He said THE gross re-
receipts of the l.utland as they accrue
from day to day at the different stations
on its line are aid to trustee and do not
go into the Central Vermont treasury
nor are they under its control. At the end
of each month after paying to the Rut-
land road It's rental due, the trustee pays
the balance to the Central Vermont, so
that there is at all times large amount
of money due the Central Vermont from
this source. The rental amounts to $4,000
a year and the gross receipts of the road
are from 100000 to sl,000,000 n year The
recevership does not affect the Rutland
road, but the receiver may continue to
run trains over 1t, provided they first
get the consent of the Rutland Railroad
company, as provided in the lease

Montreal, March ia sensation has

lapse OF the project Stiles has been be-
sieged by creditors and not being able to
meet them he quietly left the city en- route
for England. Considerable sums of money
mad been paid to stiles and his agents on
account of concession and contracts of
various kinds but these sums are far from
representing the actual losses of different
parties interested. C. CASTOR Akoun of

Stiles Tor the privilege of showing "the
