Judge Reads Candidacy.

Announcement Of the call for the second
district republican convention is remind
er that active work in the canvass for
state, district and county officers is close at
hand. For several months past it has been
we'll understood that Judge L. M. Read of
Bellows Falls would make contest for the
nomination for representative in congress
from this district. His candidacy was de-
clared in his home paper in January and
active work in his behalf has been in prog
ress since. Frank Plumley of Mortified,
who announced himself candidate, with
drew a month ago, leaving straight con-
test to be made between Judge Read and
Gen. Circuit.
Judge Reads friends claim for him a
strong support which warrants them in
well-assured confidence that he will win
the nomination. They believe he will have
the practically solid vote of his own county
and Windsor county, with such strong sup
port in Washington and Orange counties
as will give him control of the convention.
In any case, they say, Judge Read is in
the field to stay and he will have follow
ing of which his supporters will have no
reason to feel ashamed.
OnOcr UuSSc "REMINISCENCES We o@A.S'S
that Windham county cannot do less than
give Judge Read united support and go
into the convention asking for his nomina-
ton. He is man whose ability and fitpess
to represent his district in congress are I'M
questioned bis personal character is above
reproach; he has an undoubted right to
aspire to the nomination. He is native
of Windham county and his whole life has
been spent here save for his term of service
in the Union army: As lawyer he has
won leading place at the Vermont bar.
No man from this county has ever done
the state more efficient service in the
legislature.
Support of Judge Read by his Windham
county neighbors need not be construed as
discrediting Gen. Circuit, provided any
friend of the general has doubts on this
score. 1t may not even be regarded as
antagonizing him. 1t will simply be loyalty
to our own county to give Judge Read an
assured basis on which to go into the con-
vention and claim the nomination. And ii
he is successful no man will have cause to
fear that the district will not be repce-
sented with ability, fidelity and integrity

Will Knife HOltOn.

This letter appeared in the Brattleboro
Phoenix recently:
Editor of the Phoenix Sometime ago
you made mention in your paper that
MIR. W. H. Bracket of this place would
be put forward as candidate for state
treasurer, provided any change should
come in that office.
1t is evident from what l have both seen
and heard that change will be made, and
it seems to me that if Windham county
can be united on Mr.. Bracket he will
stand very good chance of receiving the
support of large part OF the state, We
is too well known throughout the coul
need any further introduction, and thS
no question as to his ability to fill this1 ee
satisfactorily.
If we are to scatter our forces it is evil
dent to me that we viii receive no recogni-
ton whatever. Very truly yours,
julius J. EsTEY.
Brattleboro has two candidates for a
state office and it seems hardly probable
that both will secure nominations. What
then does Gen. Estey's letter mean? The
St. Johnsbury Republican says it means
that Gen. Estey and what following he can
command IN Windham county will turn in
to nominate Hon. H. G. Bates of St.
Johnsbury for lieutenant governor; that
means that the Gen. Estey-Brackett fac.
ton will do all they can to divide the vote
of Windham county and render DR.. Hol.
toms nomination impossible.

VIII the Boston & Maine Purchase the I.


SpecuIations as to what will become of
the Central Vermont railroad are still rife.
The News Bureau says:
cit is proposed to pay back the interest
on the fves in cash or new securities. The
new plan while as yet only in the rough is
very favorable for everybody and it has all
been underwritten. There is no question
but that the property, judiciously handled,
can pay dollar for dollar for the first fives.
The whole Central Vermont property is
capitalized tor less than $4,000 per mile
and in the dullest years has earned over
$1,000 per mile. We claim it is good
average railroad and it is in splendid ply
steal condition.
Now that the state of Vermont has
passed law prohibiting an alien corpora
ton from securing control Of the road il
would seem as though the Baker committee
plan was blocked. 1t is possible that the
Grand Trunk can get around the law by
organizing local corporation with loca
officers, but it will have to get charter,
and it is questionable if this can be Sc
cured.
The Baker committee tried to sell the
property to the Boston and Maine without
recognizing but | understand Mr.. Tuttle
told them that he did not want to buy it,
but that when it was reorganized, a mar
ket could undoubtedly be found for it.
The relations between the Grand Trunk
and Boston and Maine are very close, and
naturally Mr.. Tuttle does not want to OPP
pose the Grand Trunk.
do not believe that it will be difficult
matter to sell the property to the Boston
and Maine after reorganization if such a
course is desirable. Mr.. Richard Oluey,
chairman of the committee and MIR. Solo,
mon Lincoln, counsel, are both Boston and
Maine directors, while Mr.. Dabney, coun-
sci for the committee is also counsel fol
the Boston and Maine at times. 1t is true,
perhaps that the Boston and Maine does
not want the property in its present con.
dition but with the Grand Trunk turned
down and the property reorganized it may
be different matter"
