The Bellows Falls TIMES claims to be the
original Vermont Mckinley paper. This
is mistake. The Sitter declared for the
Ohioan in November, 1894. However, as
we want no office we will not quarrel with
the TIMES about it. 1t must not be
inferred from this that we believe brother
Belknap is after the loaves and fishes. We
are sure he is not, otherwise he would not
conduct so bright and independent paper
as he now does.-Londonderry Sitter.

A Back Down That Is Not Napoleouic,

AS nearly as we can understand the A.
T.. A. action in Washington, it is confess
sion that the order went off at half-cock in
opposing Mckinley, and so the supreme
council takes it all back and places the
major on par with Allison, Reed, Quay,
Cullom, Bradley, Harrison and Morton
the Ohio mans name being mentioned last
IN the list. In other words, after much
boastlng to the effect that Mckinley could
and would be beaten by the gigantic influ
ence of the A. 2. A. that order has to con-
less an utter want Of power and humbly
take back seat
Here is the comedy ofthe presidential can
vass up to date. There never was more
conspicuous case of singing small under
pressure presented on the national stage
than this. 1t makes the order laughing
stock ofpeople and politicians-and that IS
aPositlon mighty damaging to all hopes Of
future influence The spectacle really
calls Tor the pity of the humane.
The Apaists made a mistake when they
sought special interview with Mai. Nc
!kmley. The average presidential aspirant
IS not found flying in the face OF Provi-
dence as represented by such delegation,
and the seekers after light were bound to
be worsted. But, after all, it was only
question OF how they would back down -

For what is Government iasti,uted-A Single
Man, Family, A Set of Men, or for the
People.

N..ND' - u"uy3 n oCi Vi INSU, OF IOr tne
People.
The constitution of Vermont contains a
statement OF the purposes OF government
illustrating the prophetic wisdom OF the men
that were reared amid the dcspotic con-
ditions against which they successfully re-
belled, and their jealousy of every infiu-
ence or tendency that should endanger the
existence Of the government they estab-
lished. Article seven of "a Declaration
OF the Rights of the Inhabitants of the
State OF Vermont, which was made part
OF the constitution of the state, declares
THAT government is, or ought to be, in
stItuted for the common benefit, protection
and security of the people, nation, or COM
munity, and not for the particular emolu-
ment or advantage OF any single man,
family, or set of men, who are part only
OF that community; and that the community
hath an lndubitable, unalienable, and in
defeaslble right, to reform or alter govern
ment, In such manner as shall be, by that
community, judged most conducive to the
public veal"
The clause we have quoted was clearly
framed with direct reference to a possible
condition that has actually come into being
IN the earl y part of the second century Of
the states constitutional existence. There
appears the ''single man." the ''lamily," :"
and the ''set of mem who seem to assume
that government was Instituted for them.
"a part only of the community" not .'for
the common benefit, protection and secur-
lty OF the people, nation or community y
individually and collectively a certain
.iamily" appears to look upon Vermont as
Its political principality, and official power
as private snap, not as something derived
from the people; and '.set Of men, :"
bound together by the cohesive power of
public plunder, by the Eope of .emolu-
ment or advantage to be derived from a
federal collectorship or other federal office,
from staff appointments on state boards and
commissions, are allied for the snhyersion
and prostitution Of the constitutional Juno
ton OF government as defined by the fathers.
1t is the ''indubitable, unaienable and in
defeasible right" and the imperative duty,
OF every Vermont community to rip up and
scatter to the winds these plans for the per-
version of the fundamental func ions of
government, this conspiracy against "the
public veal" This they can do by refus-
ing to become the promoters of Josiah
Grout's long-formed and persistently
worked scheme to procure his nomination
to the office OF governor, with all that this
would imply, scheme that is not justified
by any public service Mr.. Grout has rem
dered, or by any promise OF service deduc-
ible from his public career.
There is well founded impression
abroad that this family" has had all the
public honors its merits and services entitle
it to, and that it is time TO ..reiorm or
alter course of procedure in political
affairs that has become inimcal to the best
interests of the state.-Watchman

Report That He Will Not Stand for Cover
nor Is Revived.
Washington, May 22.-So III Clay
Evans will not accept the republican
nomination for governor That is the
statement made here in Tennessee
republican circles. He knows that
Bob Taylor will be elected by an old
time majority, and therefore he is not
willing to sacrifice himself, although
posing as the "martyred governor"
instead of Evans. The report says
representative Foster V. Brown is to
make the race. He is to be made
the victim and he will accept the
nomination for governor on the repub-
Iican ticket, 80 'tis said here, and make
an active canvass. Bob Taylor "won't
do thing to him on the stump.
Concerning the Tennessee republi-
can delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention, it is said on good authority
that they are not at heart for McKin-
ley, and If the Ohio Napoleon can be
defeated they will favor some other
candidate. This is from the inside.
