The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1897-12-01

HERE is Richard Cookers estimate
OF mugwump:
"I've no patience with snivelling, cal
low-chested mugwumpery. 1 can respect a
man like Platt, who fights for his convic-
tons and follows his flag. But these be-
tween-the.lines fellows; these better-than-
the-party people, these wolves Of politics,
who are so hungry and rapacious of office
that, laying convictions aside, they will go
to any party which will feed them and fol-
low both, and beg from both at once; that
mugwump form of man I've no use for.
Why should Van Wyck or anybody else in
power call such a turncoat thing of politics
as mugwump to Office? A man who would
desert his party would desert his country
and mugwump cannot be trusted"
AS the Rutland Herald remarks :
"Croker is not exactly political saint
but there is something mighty satisfac-
tory and filling in these expressions.

Padne's celery compound is working miracles in the cure of disease
 So says recent article by the fore- most medical essayist in Boston.
 Nothing shows more conclusively, !" he adds, "the astonishing capability of Paine's celery compound than the thoughtful open minded class of peo- pie who use 1t and recommend it, both in public and among their closest and dearest friends and relatives. Among us (physicians) there is no longer any hesitancy in recommending this great est remedy without stint of praise.
 About the same time the above ar ticle was published there appeared in the Boston Journal the following let ter from David K. Chaser of 452 Windsor street, Cambridgeport, a sub urb of Boston:
 T take great pleasure in testifying to the extraordinary merits of Paine's celery compound. For some time past I have been under the treatment of two welI-known. local doctors, but :. their combined efforts proved of no avail. I have been for years a harsh skeptlc in regard to advertised medicines, put

eighty and the attitude of our people is bound to be one of friendly interest whenever the American subjects of a foreign power decide that the time has come for them to establish free and Independent American state.
 The attitude of our government, hoW- ever, cannot always express the sym pathies of the people. It has it's treaties to observe and it's code of public law to respect. Acts of intervention, more- over, involve responsibilities, and these must be assumed with caution. We neither wish to govern Cuba nor to
 fight Spain, and no act of government should be performed that leads us in the direction of either of these enter
 prises.
 It is a long while, Mir. Chairman, since such celebration as this was possible. It is long while since a re- publican governor of New York, a re- publican lieutenant governor, a repub- lican speaker of the assembly,a full line of republican state officers, a republi- can United States senator and so great a body of republican officials from the counties and municipalities of the state could assemble at a public ban quet. Four years ago the thought of to-night's festival would have seemed absurd. Let us take care that four
 years hence it shall have no such seem- ing. Let us prove ourselves competent
 and honest and truly representative of the hopes and impulses of the people. General Black Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, General R. A. Alger and others made | felicitous speeches.
