is part Of the scheme to take Nebraska
out Of the Mckinney column" In the
same article the News insinuates that
Mr.. Manderson's supposed candidacy is
in the interest OF the Burlington road.
remarking: The News has it from un-
doubted political authority. that the
Burlington has been looking with sus-
picious eye upon Senator Thurston's
taking the reins into his own hands and
controlling the delegation to the ma.
tional convention, believing it to be
move on the part Of the Union Pacific,
with which the senator has until recent
ly been closely allied. to regain its old
position as political dictator. There
fore it is that ex-Ser ator Henderson,
the gerercl attorney Of the Burlington,
has him brought forward to lead the
opposition Of the Thurston dynasty"
This is plausible enough, but it is an
injustice to Mr.. henderson to attribute
to him political purpose palpably cor
rupt. There is class OF people in this
state, and the News ia a representative
OF this class, who believe, OF affect to
believe, that a railway corporation is
run chiefly for the purpose Of corrupt
ing politics. These people unhesitat-
ingly stigmatize every person who may
be connected in any capacity with
railway company. The railroads have
not had sweet and wholesome infiu-
ence on politics in this state, it is true.
They have often controlled legislatures
and state officers, and stood between the
people and their rights. But they are
not wholly bad. Nothing is. There
are honest and honorable men in the
railway service. And the arrangements
are not entirely given over to corrupting
politics. Mr.. Henderson hae never been
accused Of being anybodyis tool, and
those who are acquainted with that
gentleman will not believe that his
much talked about candidacy is moth
ing more nor less than political scheme
OF the Burlington. Besides, the rail-
way company of which Mr.. Henderson
is attorney, is not particularly interested
in the presidency or in national politics.
The Union Pacific has interests that
can be protected at Washington. The
Burlington is concerned almost solely
with governors. members OF the state
board of equal alton, and legis lators.
There is one thing Governor Hol-
comb ought to do. He should peremp-
torily discharge Bill Dech and j. B.
Jones.
Col. HarwoOd in his scintillating
paper. the Herald, is somewhat enthusi-
astic in his praise Of republicans. A
subscriber writing to The Courier calls
attention to the fact and asks: do
you think Col. HARDWOOD is getting ready
to flop back to the republican party?'
Now Topping is hardly an appropriate
word to use in connection with gentle
man OF Col. Harwood's dignity and size.
No one would speak Of Col. Harwood as
taking hop, skip and jump. or dane
ing a highland fling, and it is just as
inapt to speak Of him as Topping. Col.

made something Of an impression by his
demand FOR bigger men for public Office
in This state. 1t is possible that there
will be general desire on the part Of
delegates in this years republican state
convention to select for the Office Of
governor a man who has moral and
mental fitness for the Office. There is a
prospect that the small men will be
passed by for a properly proportional
candidate. 1t is good sign when such
sentiment asserts itself early in the
campaign.
When, for instance a man like Jack
McColl, who is good citizen, presents
himself as candidate. delegates may
ask to know his special qualifications
for the Office to which he aspires; and
il the replies are not satisfactory it ia
altogether probable that he will be
passed by for some other aspirant who
is able to measure up to the guberna-
torial requirements. McColl is straight
forward, honest man. There are thous-
ands Of Straightforward. honest men in
this state whom nobody would think of
pushing as candidate for governor.
This year is good time to put forth an
extra effort and get big man for the
big Office.

Manley's Latest Bulletin.

In dispatch to w. Murray Crane,
one of the Massachusetts, delegates to
St. Louis, J. H. Manley of Maine, Sec
rotary of the national republican COM
mittee and the manager of Mr.. Reeds
canvass, makes the following summary
Of the situation after the holding of last
weeks conventions:
cat the close of your convention there
will have been 99S delegates elected. Gov
ernor Mckinley will have 1872 delegates,
provided you assign to him the entire dele
cation from Wisconsin, Indiana and Min
nes0ta. But there should be taken from
this number II delegates from these states
who have declared since their election in
favor Of Mr.. Reed, and as they were not in
structed, they should be taken from the
Mckinley column and placed in Mr.. Reeds.
This gives Governor Mckinley 100 dele
gates; Mr.. Reed, 70; Governor Norton, GA
Senator Allison, SO; Senator Quay, rs; Sena'
tor Cullom, 10; contested, 36. You will see
that this gives Mr.. Mckinley 100 delegates
against 2l0 anti-McKinley delegates.
The situation is precisely as 1t was
twenty years ago. You will remember that
three months before the convention met al
Cincinnati we were confident OF Mr.. Blane's
nomination He stood then as the apostle
Of protection. But he had opposed to his
nomination Senator Conklng OF New York,
Senator Morton Of Indiana, Secretary Bris
tow OF Kentucky, Governor Hayes Of Ohio
and Governor Hartranft of Pennsylvania
We felt SO sure OF Mr. Blaines nomination
that we regarded it as settled, and yet he
was defeated in the convention, and the
Maine man went down before the Ohio
governor
History will repeat itself at st. Louis
Governor Mckinley is and will be the lead
ing candidate in the convention, but he will
have opposed to him as candidates Governor
Morton of New York, Senator Allison o.
Iowa, Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senator
Quay OF Pennsylvania. and Mr. Reed O.
be turned and the Ohio governor will &c
down before the man from Maine"

A Resembling Boom for Reed,

Massachusetts republicans met in
Boston on Friday to choose delegates
to the st. Louis convention. Reed of
Maine was the hero of the hour, from
the opening speech to the closing cheer.
Chairman Mccall thus formulated the
dominant sentiment:
"If, fellow republicans, you want leader
who will make not only great candidate,
but great president, whose administration
will strengthen his party through the signal
benefits 1t will confer upon this country,
then ask the republicans to join hands with
you and put at the head Of their columns in
the battle of '96 that man of dauntless cour-
age and unstained honor, that great parlia-
mentarian who beat down the obstruction
that paralyzed the house of representatives,
that broad minded and enlightened states
man, Thomas b. Reed of Name"
And the platform clinched this re-
quest with the following emphatic en-
dorsement:
1--WE present to the national convention
for nomination as president, and we urge
all our delegates to give their earnest, united
and active support to a fearless leader tried
In many hard conflicts-a man of national
reputation, OF unblemished character, un.
swerving repubicanism and great abilities
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine"
The men elected delegates are Henry
Cabot Lodge, W. Murray Crane, e. s.
Draper and Curtis Guild, Jr.

ARTHUR ROPES, General Editor.

THE settlement of the fish hatchery
cases is happy ending of an unpleas-
ant and an unfortunate affair. Mr..
Warren took a very creditable course
in court on Tuesday in presenting him
self as an expiatory, and in some degree
vicarious, Offering to offended law and
public sentiment. The attorney for the
state acted with wisdom in the turn af-
fairs had taken, and the judge was just
and considerate in reviewing the cir
cumstances of the case and in imposing
sentence. An act of mistaken hospital
ity, the folly of which is probably as
we'll understood by the three men who
became defendants in the suits in ques-
ton as by any other persons, has been
fully expiated-and the late proceed
ings in court were probably the lightest
suffering in the expiatory course. "Let
the dead past bury its dead"

It Was q "Trade or Promises"

Where is the Free Press stP In its
answer to Mr.. Peterson it virtuously
declared that it i" would not support any
man for governor whom we knelo or
suspected to have made any trade or
promise in regard to the, we trust, re-
mote contingency of a vacancy in the
senatorship on either side of the noun
tain, that would be filed by appointment
by the governor" The italics are our
own, the grammar al the predicament
are the Free Press. Well, the 4" trade
or promise" had been made. If the
Free Press did not "know or suspect I"
it, the fact is not creditable to the in
telligence or journalistic instinct of the
contemporary. But the Free Press now
has the information direct from Candi-
date Grout himself, who writes respect
ing "the, we trust, remote contin-
gency ": 81 would not appoint any of
my brothers to the United States SEN
ate, but would let the people act di-
rectly upon any candidacy they, or any
of them, might urge for the Office"
The proof of the "trade or promise " is
complete and indisputable, but there is
yet no indication that the Free Press
has withdrawn its support from Major
CIRCUITS candidacy. Naturally this cpl
sode leads to reflection. Whenever be-
fore in the history of Vermont was it
necessaryto shackle a candidate for
governor in a contingent matter of
official duty? Was it necessary to tie
the hands of Paul Dillingham;, Of
blessed memory, in the matter that
gave to the state the heritage of fame
and glory that descended from the ap-
pointment of George F. Edmunds to
the United States senate? Under what
provision of law could Major Grout
/" let the people act directly upon any
candidacy they, or any of them, might
urge for the Officer" The duty would
be his-not the people's-to be dis
charged, if he were true man, with
the same independence and lofty sense
of responsibility as that which gave
an Edmunds to the state and nation.
The proper answer for Candidate Grout
to have made to suggestions of "a
trade or promise " was not a pledge
but the one the Free Press conceived
for him: q" The most a square and self
respecting man could say, in regard to
matter of such grave Importance,
would be that, if elected and such q
duty should fall to him, he would en-.
deavor to perform it with an eye to the
highest welfare of her people," I'm.
fortunately Candidate Grout does moi
seem to be cast in the mould of mer
that conceive and make such answers
He wants to be governor, and to thai
end what other trades or promises y
has he made?
