The Cuckoo Note,

Lo, the plaintive Ph@niD's cuckoo
note: "He has served on important COM
mittees and proved himself an able and
efficient legislator" Is the contempt
rary singing its accustomed song of
conventional and platitudinous SIM
plicity, or is there irony in it's note2
In what legislative act were ability and
efficiency displayed? In 1884, in OPP
posing Senator Chapin's bill for re-
forming highway management, in NOV
ing to recall that measure from the
custody of the senate, after it had
passed the house, in order that it might
be hamstrung, if not defeated? In
playing, during that same session, the
part of the friend of school reform, and
at the last moment, when the success
of the measure was imminent, turning
about and stabbing it in the back?
Was it in 1886, when, as speaker, he was
able and efficient in defeating inquiry
into railway freight charges on farmers
and manufacturers productions, by con-
stituting the railway committee of the
house from railway officials and attor-
neys and men opposed to any interfer-
ence with the business of these corpo-
rations2 Was it in 1892, when, as sena-
tor, the bill for the repeal of the five
per cent state school tax passed the
senate without word of opposition
from him, and without his opposing
vote? Was it in 1892, when he chloro-
formed the free textbook bill which
had passed the house by an overwhelm.

The Banner Argument.

"The wAToHMAN, like Tom Plat, has
evidently some axe to grind, and like Platt,
is willing to stoop to anything to stay the
tide Of popular feeling"
The foregoing is the closing para
graph of one of the Bennington Ban
ner's able and discriminating editorial
articles on the governorship question.
The WATERMAN has not an axe, or
even jack-knife, to grind. On the
contrary, all the papers with axes or
cutlery to sharpen, from the Free Press,
whose editor wants the relationship of
Vermont again, down to aspirants for
minor places of emolument or adj
vantage" are waiting their " turn " at
the Grout grindstone. The Banner
seems to belong to that unfortunate
class that never "opens its mouth with
out putting its foot in it,"
The contemporary further AYERS that
"the Waterman uses over half COL
umn in an effort to prove that, as Gen
eral Grout has been honored by the
state, it is the height of presumption
for Major Grout to present himself as
q candidate for honors." 1t does not
seem to us that the matter was put in
exactly that way. However, the read
ers of the WATCHMAN can judge for
themselves; the readers of the Banner
see only what the contemporary says
the WATCHMAN has said, and would
probably see less of anylrejoinder that
might be made. Only newspaper OF
the Banners intelligence and discrim.
ination could discern in the cases OF
Horace Fairbanks, W. P. Dillingham;
and E. G. Smith, sons of former dis
tinguished governors of Vermont
whom the people sought out, and
without a suggestion of personal sole
itation or importantly, chose on theil
merits for high official station, long
after their fathers had passed the
years of official life or were resting
from this worlds strifes and labors
anything that could by any stretch Of
tension of the terms of Article Seven O.
the Bill of Rights come within the
shadow of its admonition. None Of
these men was ever, and none of the
living will become, the Oliver Twist o.
Vermont politics.
These incidents simply serve to il
lustrate afresh the penury of the sub
sidized Grout newspapers when one es
says to establish any valid ground fo
its patrons candidacy. The pruden
course for them is to pocket the goli
they get for extra copies and keep theil
mouths shut.

The Caucus...A Characteristic Appeal

One of Josiah CIRCUITS subsidized
papers, the Vergennes Vermonter, has
arrived at the rational conclusion that
the Majors nomination will not prob
ably be unanimous, and for this reason
his friends will need be on hand at the
proper time and see that delegates are
elected that will carry out their wishes
in the convention"
The contemporary is right as to the
lack of unanimity at the convention;
but he illustrates, in the remainder of
the quotation, the essential wickedness
and narrowness of the ideas of public
duty that animate the Grout boomers.
Who are exhorted to be at the caucus
for the choice of delegates to the state
convention? The people, the legal
voters, in order that their will may be
supreme in the convention? Not at
all. 1t is the friends " of Mr.. Grout,
in order that their wishes may be
carried out in the convention. Here is
uppermost, as there has been in the
Grout camps throughout the canvass,
the idea against which Article Seven
of the Bill of Rights was formulated,
that government is instituted for the
emolument or advantage of a " Single
man or "set of men," not for the
"common benefit, protection and Sc
curity of the people, nation or COM
munity." Public Office is held to be q
private snap, and a snap caucus the
primary agency by means of which
Mr.. CIRCUITS " friends unjust 6" see that
delegates are elected that will carry out
their wishes in the convention"
BY disregarding the old established
custom, instituted from wholesome
desire for honest politics, of recon-
mending that the caucuses be held on
certain specified day, q recommends
ton that was almost universally OBJ.
served, the state committee has done
much to favor the snap caucus. Under
that custom the day of the caucus was
publicly fixed and advertised. All the
voters might know when it was to be
called, and be on the lookout for it,
Now it is a matter of local notice only
which may be adequate in length and
publicity, or it may be entirely other

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-05-27

THE campaign has its humors. Here
is Grout paper bowling down Stick
ney organ for quoting from a demo-
cratic paper and at the same time COM
placently fourishing bracer for Jo-
siah Grout from the Brattleboro Re
former. A Grout contemporary de-
nounces the WATCHMAN for printing
dignified and proper anonymous com.
munications, while Josiah himself as
sumes anonymously, in his own inter-
est, the editorship of the Barre Enter
prise during the canvass. The Free
Press editorial writer plays the role of
the Mark Tapley of the Grout cause,
but the Messenger eclipses all its
Grouty competitors in the race to be
ridiculous by solemnly mounting its
Rosinante" and, with lance in rest,
emulating the chivalry of Don Quixote.
REFERENCE is made to some CORE
spondence on page three in regard to
Economy in State Expenditures"
The correspondence explains itself.
An important distinction between Can
didate Grout and Candidate Stickney is
shown by the letters of the respective
candidates. The first is somewhat eff
fusive as well as am biguous, and is
twice as long as Mr.. Stickney's answer,
which is simple, direct, business-like
and capable of but one Interpretation.
1t is observable that the Brattleboro
Phenir declares that Major Grout
"stands committed to the policy of re-
ducing state expenses to the lowest
point consistent with the public well
fare" If there are any votes in it he
is very likely in favor, at the present
time, of reduction descending. But
has there been time in the past ten or
twelve years when he has not been in
favor of reduction ascending? Has any
official salary been increased which he
has opposed, and against which he has
voted? Has any item in the ornamen.
tai and spectacular departments of ex-
penditure been discouraged by his voice
or vote? Has he ever sought to curtail
and bring into rational limits the states
enormous expenditure for the militia?
Was he not, so late as 1888, proposing
large increase in the salary of the
GOVERNOR And in this proposed in
crease were coming events, in his
mind, casting their shadows before2
William W. Stickney's short, pertinent
letter covers the whole ground, without
subterfuge or evasion, and so far as the
governor can properly control these
matters he can be trusted to interpose
the executive influence and authority
effectively.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-05-27

Grout has been table ana e1lclent IN
blocking the progress OF reform III the
state,s most important interests. If
this ia the PheniD's hidden meaning,
the contemporary words are intelli-
gible. If, as we suspect we have, we
have failed to interpret its language in
accordance with its intention, we invite
it to sustain its statements by citations
from its candidates legislative record.
For months past the Grout papers
have been printing stereotyped phrases
like this we have reproduced from the
Phenir, which has but recently joined
the cuckoo choir To requests for
specifications each and all have been
silent as the grave. Now if there were
really commendable public service back
of these hackneyed claims, does any
one suppose that the columns of the
Grout papers would not have bulged
out with the detailsp The demand for
specifications has been ga corker"
every time. In great majority of in
stances the able editors have known
absolutely nothing about Major CIRCUITS
legislative record. The head cuckoo
has sounded the note and the lesser
birds have taken it up. With them ig-
norance was bliss, and, as the orders for
extra copies were liberal, it was folly to
be wise.
The WATERMAN has published some
conspicuous instances of the kind of
"service Josiah Grout, as legislator,
has rendered the state. They have
been sustained by citations from the
official records and by the testimony OF
eminent public men whose names have
been published. The Grout papers
| have shown their discretion, and their
respect for the truth of history, either
by making no defence of their candi-
date, trusting to the power of the COM
bine enlisted in his interest to put him
through successfully, or by relapsing
into silence after feeble and incoherent
attempt at defence.
In the legislature Major Grout has
never been a combatant such as were
Adace F. Walker, William p. Dilling-
ham, Marsh o. Perkins, James l..
Martin, DR.. w. A. Jones, Lavant M.
Read, and score of others that might
be named, who were stout champions
or sturdy opponents, but always open
and aboveboard in their advocacy or
opposition. He was an intriguer. He
wooed success through devious paths.
He feigned friendship and turned out
an enemy. The few instances the
WATCHNIAN has cited illustrate this
characteristic. He seemed to be al
ways playing part, and the part he
played was chosen with reference to
the effect upon the cherished object OF
his ambition, the governorship. The
statement of these things, of the plain
facts of his public life, his newspaper
partisans, with neither the courage tc
defend nor the hardihood to deny, will
continue, tamely and simultaneously,
to characterize as "abuse," as mud
singing" as the product of "spite.'
Nevertheless, in the canvass against
Major Grout the truth has been spoken
with clearness and decency, and the
public journals which have 80 spoken
have indicated their manhood and
done their duty to their readers.

The Free Press is indeed a news
paper. 1t was able to report the cleo
ton of two Grout delegates at the
South Burlington caucus, Saturday even
ing, but it had not heard, up to Tuesday
morning, of the election of four Stick
ney delegates at the Poultney caucus,
