The Old Sotry in Vermont.

The Republican brethren up in Yer
mont have been obeying the regular bien-
NAL scramble for the governorship. The
governor is really elected at the Republi-
can state convention, the voting in Septem-
Der being a mere formal popular ratifca-
ton OF the action of the convention. The
democrats make show, growing fainter
perhaps rather than stronger with the lapse
of years, OF believing otherwise, and they
60 through the forms of nominating for a
candidate OF their own. This very pleas
ing state of things for one party has natur-
ally developed within that party small
company of men who look upon the govern
orship as pleasant and ornamental little
affair which is to be passed around among
themselves, and the rest of the people are
expected to look on applaudingly and ad-
miringly as the prize is passed around.
The rule of Distribution in this select
company is: You help me this time and III
help you next. Four years ago, accord
ingly, when Mr.. Fuller Of Brattleboro wa

The Result In Vermont.

The contest for the nomination in Yer
mont has been remarkably close. The
Republican party was sure of strong
candidate, and in Major Josiah Grout OF
Derby the Green Mountain protectionists
have representative who will surely give
the state an honest and able administration.
He is the kind of man which Vermont has
been accustomed to choose as governor.
The duty of the Vermont Republicans now
is the same as it was in those years, and
they can be counted upon to perform it.
They will leave behind all rivalry, and
hereafter go shoulder to shoulder under
the banner of sound principles. There is
no soreness. The closeness of the fight
has aroused the full strength of the party,
and there is no enemy in Vermont to alarm
it. A big majority can and should be
rolled up for the Republican ticket.-Bos-
ton Journal.

County Convention.

The Republican county convention meets
at Newfane next Wednesday. So far as
we can learn there will be no contest over
the nominations for office, many of the
present incumbents being renominated.
1t was reported that the contest over the
states attorney would be carried into the
county, but so far as we have learned this
Is not so. G. II. Robb has the endorse
ment OF Rockingham and eleven delegates,
his own townsmen, to back him in the con-
vention and it is hardly probable that Mr..
Weston will contest the nomination with
hun. Where two candidates for county
Office come from one town, it would seem
that TIE expressed preference of the voters
OF that town should prevail; and so far as
we know Mr.. Weston takes the same view
OF the matter.
The question OF who shall be states
attorney settled, very little interest attaches
to the convention.

Grout and Fisk.

\ This the ticket for next September.
A brief sketch of the two men may not
prove uninteresting.

Canada, May 90, 1912, was educated in
the academies at Glover and St. Johnsbury.

he was admitted to the bar. He was in
charge of the custom house at Island Pond
from 1866 to 1869, and was in the customs
service at St. Albans and Newport several
years. He went to Illinois 1874, but re-
turned to Vermont six years later and has
since made his home in Derby. He repre-
sented Newport in the general assembly of
1872 and 1874 and Derby in 1884, 1886,
and 1888. He was senator from Orleans
county in 1892, and was speaker Of the
house of representatives in 1874, 1886,
and 1888.
Nelson w. Fisk was born in Isle La
Motto, August 5, 1854. He was educated
at the common schools and at the Yer
mont Methodist seminary, Fort Edward in

COMMENTS ON THE GOyERNORsHIP.

But, while all this is true, certain gen.
eral facts to which the Herald has often re-
ferred, are unchanged by the action of the
convention. The objection to Major Grout
was all along rather with respect to his
candidacy than his person. He was fore
ordained as governor in 1896 years ago by
the little knot of men who manage the
affairs of our state government and that
fact made good reason why every man
who believes in real government by the
people should have opposed him. He was
put forward and crowded through by the
machine, and by nothing else. The race
was close and the machine won by only a
neck, but it won and the mass of Republi-
cans was defeated. The thing is wholly
wrong and tremendously mischievous. In
its methods it perverts and debauches our
political machinery and in its results de-
moralzes all branches of our state govern
ment. Incidentally it handicaps our cam
paigns, for it is not possible to do with
machine candidates what could be done
with candidates named in a proper way, no
matter who the candidates may be. The
mass of Republicans who have the election
to attend to cannot be entirely excluded
from the selection without resulting trouble.
We say this, not SO much with reference
to what was done yesterday as to things
yet to come. Our governors are to-day
selected by the ring for years to come.
How long will the people stand that sort of
thing? The tide of rebellion against the
ruling political dynasty has been rising for
years and very little more Wednesday
would have made it a revolution. That
revolution is surely coming, and it will
strike hard Rutland Herald.

receiving his reward for having helped
somebody, Farmer Josiah Grout of Derby,
perceiying the drift, took off his coat for
Fuller at late hour and so won from the
Fuller crowd pledge of their support
when Grout's turn came. This was Grout'S
year, and he was to be given the cake as a
matter of course. But the younger ele-
ment in the party had begun to sicken of
this sort Of thing, and made bold finally to
dispute the passage Of the cake in the regu-
lar order. They presented William W.
Stickney Of Ludlow, lawyer of ability and
character and ex-speaker of the House,
and have made one of the liveliest can
vases ever known in the state. The re-
suit was in doubt up to the moment OF the
ballot in the convention yesterday, and it
will be seen that Grout wins by the slender
margin of three votes. And these three
votes came from the Fuller ba;liwiek,
which was located in territory generally
favorable to Stickney. In other words,
the you-hel elp-me-and / ll-help-you rule car
ried the day as of old. The little guberna-
torial monopoly remains unbroken.

The Next Governor.

Major Grout of Derby is a good and
true man. He offered and gave his blood
for the Union when the flower of the young
manhood and chivalry of the land was
pressing to the front to stand between. the
government and its foes. He has filled

The information was received all over the
country with unbounded enthusiasm.
The platform adopted Thursday declares
for protection to American industries, reci-
procity, sound money, liberal pensions, a
free Cuba, and larger rights for women.
The financial plank reads;

are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage
of silver except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations Of the
world, which we pledge ourselves to pro-

preserved. All our silver and paper cur
rency must be maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolably the obligations Of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth
