Seer Of the North lnterrogated.

We notice in recent issue of the demo-
cratic Boston Globe a letter from its St..
Albans, VT, correspondent referring to
the governorship question. This letter, in
view Of all the circumstances is both inter
esting and amusing. 1t is interesting be-
cause of the adroitness with which its real
purpose is obscured by what is intended to
appear as the observations OF an impartial
observer. 1t is amusing in view Of the
well known fact that the writer is in the
employ of the St. Albans Messenger, a
daily paper practically owned by candidate
E. G.. Smith, who the Globe correspondent
asserts will be nominated almost by acc'a-
nation at the coming state convention.
Again it is amusing to observe rspubli-
can, employed by gubernatorial candi-
date, occupy columns Of democratic
newspaper, published in Boston, for the
purpose of shaping public sentiment in this
state in favor of the candidate. Then, too,
it is, and for some time has been, especially
amusing to observe the nonchalance with
which the same correspondent spring.

tired at night apparently free from politica

monition of approaching danger, to flint
their worst apprehensions realized by dis
covering that the Boston Sunday Globe
through the magic of the St. Albans CORE
spondent in bis Sunday letter, had suddenl
brought them into apparent political prom
inence by naming them for an office t
which they did not aspire.

building, aside from the parties to the
interview, alone have heard.
Seriously speaking, however, and as one
seeking information from the fountain of
all knowledge upon this subject, we be-
seech this correspondent to inform us re-
specting the qualifications of Col. Smith
tor governor this would be far more in
structive than reiterated statements that he
is as good as elected already. Instead Of
telling Vermonters that Col. Smith will be
governor, we implore the correspondent to
tell them why he should be governor, We
believe the sturdy yeomen of Vermont
would like little information upon this
subject
