As to the GOvernOrship.

The WATCHMAN has been an inter-

test for the honors of the republican
state convention for the nomination of

velopment of opinion in the matter of
the governorship more with reference
to ascertaining the direction of the cur

discovery of what personal candidates.
are being exploited. There is never an
utter failure of crops in Vermont, par
ticularly of its staple product, men. 1t
has been made clear from specifications
furnished that the choice of the republi-
cans of the state this year is not neces-
sarily limited to a single individual,
but that the area of selection Is large
and the stock of executive possibilities
varied and promising.
When they wake up to the matter,
the chief solicitude of the people at
large is for candidate whose abilities
and public record afford the strongest
guaranty of wise and faithful admins

take little note of personal ambitions.
Many may be called, but one shall be
chosen. In the present instance the
current of popular preference has been
setting 80 strongly towards the modest
gentleman from Ludlow, who, with sig.
nal circumspecliOn and honor, has gone
