state of Vermont, and everything con-
nected with it. The young men who leave
this state reflect credit upon it in other

ulate ourselves that we live in the land Of
freedom. When the war of the rebellion

eager to fight as we were 35 years ago.
Whenever our flag is assailed or any prin-
ciple we love is attacked, we will always
find our men at the front. The history of
Vermont is proud one and filled with
military glory. The feats of Vermonters
will always shine brightly, those OF Ethan
Allen and George Dewey"

What Did Gen. GrOut Say?

The following statement was made in
this paper in the Wednesday issue:
Some of Gen. Grout's supporters are
claiming he never said anything which
could be construed as an agreement not to
run for congress again this year. This is
what he said and where be said it: At
the time Of the last district convention
Gen. Grout came into the district commit
tee room when several of the committee
were present, and one of the committee
told him that he might secure a renomina-
ton by acclamation, whereupon Gen.
Grout said that if he was nominated that
day without any fight on the floor of the
convention that would round out sixteen
years OF congressional service and he
should never seek favors of a district con-
vention again.
In reply to this Gen. Grout writes as
follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9, 1898.
EDITOR OF THE TINES:
In your paper of the 9Th inst. is a
statement to the effect that two years ago /
said in the district committee room at
Montpelier, that I should not be candi-
date again if l could then have a unani-
nous nomination.
This statement involves my personal
knowledge. l know whether or not made
it, and most emphatically say that did
not. 1t is a pure fabrication. There was
no conversation of the kind described, and
the talsehood is out of whole cloth.
1t was well known by every one at the
last convention that large majority of the
delegates were in my favor, and what in
ducement was there for the alleged state
ment? / felt at the time that l would
much prefer to have ballot, that the real
weakness of the opposition could have been
exactly revealed.
| know what think of man who does
not keep his word in politics as we'll as
everything else and feel that the demands
of truth and justice to myself, as well as the
public, all call for this denial, unpleasant
as it is to feel the necessity for making it.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM W. CIRCUIT.
Since the receipt of the above letter
from Mr.. Grout representative OF the
TIMES has interviewed two members of the
district committee and they both say they
" ere present when Grout came into the
committee room in 1896 and that the state
ment made in the TIMES of June as to
what occurred is correct.
This is question of memory rather than
,eracity.
