II firmly believe in the retention Of the
Philippines. We cannot do otherwise than
keep them. If we dispose of them to an
other nation, we shall certainly precipitate
war. They are not yet capable of gov
erning themselves. Until that time comes
the best we can do is to give them good

Who Will Succeed Morrill,.

Senator Morrilrs successor will be APP
pointed by Gov. Smith and the man he
appoints will have q mortgage on the elec-
ton at the next meeting Of the legislature.
Several names have been mentioned as pos
sible candidates for Gov Smiths favor,
among them DR.. W. Seward Webb Of
Shelburne and Hon. w. P. Dillingham; Of
Montpelier, but all such talk is grand
stand play. The name of William w.
Grout looms above all others in resplFn.
dent lustre. II reports that were current
during the recent gubernational election
contest have any truth, Gov. Smith has nc
option in the matter of appointing a sue
ces.or to Senator Morrill,; be must appoin,
Gen. Grout or prove false to ante-conven
ii pledges. 1t Is possible, however, tha
these reports were without foundation.
A seat in the senate has been Gen. Grout's
ambition for years, and to crafty thi, am
bition he has directed every energy. Sucf
an ambition is noble one, and the Genera
has a host of friends in Vermont, both po.
litical and personal, who firmly believe that
be will make creditable senator who viii

The TIMES for 1899 will be better than ever

of SO. Our clubbing list has many at
fractions, and for 80 or So enough reading
matter Of high quality can be secured to
meet the wants Of the average family. For

good gener al and state paper, for one
year. For 81 85 we can furnish the TIMES,
the Tri-weekly New York World, and the
Cosmopolitan Magazine for one year, an
excellent combination at very reasonable
price.
