Farmer Circuit.
From the Rutland Herald.]

Major Josiah Grout Of Derby has
for some time been understood to have
an eye on the governorship of the state
of Vermont, but it is only recently
that his boom was formally launched
in the newspapers. If memory serves,
the launching was done by the ST.
Johnsbury Republican, and in the
launching article the candidacy was
urged-upon the ground that the major
was representative farmer"
So far, SO good, but we notice de-
plorable disposition in certain quarters
to treat the farmer idea with levity
it not with contumely. That is, by
sheer and inuendo it is intimated that
the major is not bona fide farmer, but
that he is held up as bright and
shining agriculturist solely with the
idea of deceiving honest men and by
false pretension catching votes and
favor. The Herald can permit this
sort of thing TO 60 no further without
making an Earnest protest. It hap
pens that the major this week puts
his gubernatorial boom into a cheese
hoop and rolls it into Rutland upon
the occasion OF the Dairymen's meet
ing here, and the Herald feels it a
duty to see that he have fair play.
We insist that Maj. Josiah Grout is
regularly ordained farmer, and chal-
lenge all corners to prove that he is
anything else. Indeed, it will be easy
to get positive proof that he is what
we say he is. Let the Dairymen's as
ISOLATION provide duly qualified cow,
put her on the city hall platform, hand
the major milking stool and tinpail
and have milk test before their eyes.
Let somebody tickle the old bossy's
off hind leg with straw and, after
the major picks himself up and gets
Strengthened out, let notes be taken OF
his remarks and his methods of fan
ming the animal with the stool closely
observed. That would be practical
and conclusive. Give him an able
bodied calf to lead and see if he takes
the string with the confident smile be-
longing to inexperience. He will not
be caught mapping. And then get
somebody to try swapping horses with
him.
Maj. Grout is farmer and a thor
ough one. He plows and digs and
delves and harrows and cultivates and
hoes and sows and plants and mends
fence. He only wants the opportuni-
ty to reap. He is a genuine horny
handed son Of toll. The statements to
the effect that he is a lawyer or a man
ufacturer are base SANDERS. Give him
fair play.

WELL WORTH TELLING.
a Weu.KnoVn Senator Tells a

No Possible Doubt As to Its Ahso-

From the High Standing
of the Senator.
Higher the Position, More Interest
Ing the Facts.

Our Readers Eager for Just Such
Details.

Senator Frank ?lumley Of North
field, VT, is man Of national repu
tation. No man to-day stands more
prominently before the people of the
state of Vermont than he.
A lawyer by profession, he wa'
elected to the house of representative
| in 1882, is trustee of schools, trustee O
Mortified bank and trustee Of Nor
wich university IA military school un
der patronage Of the U. S. govern
ment), has been trustee of the Mont
pelier seminary, chairman Of the Re
publican state convention, 1856, dele
gate at large to the Republican nation
al convention in 1888, was United
States attorney for Vermont from 1873!
to 1894 and is now state senator.
Senator Plumley is well known
throughout the United States, having
been selected by the National Repub
lican committee as speaker to STUMP
the state of Michigan for Blaine il
1884, and again in 1888 and 1892 he
spoke through the West for the Re
publican presidential candidate.
When he came out Of the presiden.
tial campaign in '92, owing to over
work, he was almost complete nerv'
Gus wreck.
To our representative the senator
said:
Gin the fall of 1892, ] came out Of
the presidential campaign with my
nervous system almost broken.
Crest and ordinary remedies did
not assist me. Some of my personal
friends advised me to take a course OF
Dir. Greene's medicines, which l did
with entire success.
81 use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy for that exhaustion
caused by long continued mental
work, and think well of it,
We understand that Senator Plum
ley's cure is radical and complete, and
while we congratulate the popular
senator on his recovery, we cannot but
add that this is distinct triumph fol-
that marvellous medicine. Dir. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
which, owing to the high standing OF
Senator Plumley, and the fact that he
is so widely known, will give Dir.
Greene's Nervura a great boom.
The remedy deserves it, for it is in
truth a most wonderful curer Of dis
ease, restorative and invigorator
which stands at the present day with
out a rival in making people well; a
remedy which is always sure to cure,
to give health and strength, to make
whoever uses it strong and vigorous.
This most valuable remedy is not a
patent medicine and should not be
classed as such, for it is the discovery
and prescription Of one Of our leading
specialists in nervous and chronic dis
eases, DR.. Greene of 81 Temple Place,
Boston, Mass. The doctor gives add
ed value to his great remedy by allow
ing all who desire to consult him with
out charge, eitherin person or through
the mail.

The civil and military authority
around Fort Ethan Allen are not in
harmony, according to the following
from the Burlington News: "Justice
E. WI. Hawkins went to Wino0ski last
week to hear the case OF one McCarty,
soldier, for a drunk and breach Of
the peace, but he met with an unex-
ipected difficulty. Sheriff Reeves had
preceded Mr.. Hawkins and went to
the fort to get the soldier, but they
would not render him to the civil au.

future cases of intoxication the culprit,
whether he was arrested on the reser-
walton or anywhere else, would be
turned over to the officers at Fort
Ethan Allen
A man claiming to be an agent Of
the government went to the houses Of
the veterans in Wallingford recently
and said that the war department was
about to give orders for several hun
dred thousand blouse army shirts.
Wishing to give the wives of the vet
Grams a chance to make little money,
the government had decided to give
the shirts out TO soldiers families to
make up. When he received an order
for the shirts the s'agent' would look
over the sewing machines in the house,
and finding that the stitch was not just
right he would offer to change it for
one dollar, the money to be given
back when the material for the shirts
was delivered by an assistant The
people in Wallingford are now look
ing for the assistant. The man went
from Wallingford to Il. Wallingford,
from there to Mount Holly and is now
supposed to be in Ludlow.
