AS stated in these columns in Wednes-
days issue, the withdrawal of Gen. Nc
Cullough has made it sure that Col Smith
will be the next governor of Vermont and
with that assurance our r, iers will wish
to know more regarding him. He was
born in St. Albans and has resided there
all his life. He is in the prime OF man
hood, being nearly Al years of age. He
is the son of ex-Gov. John Gregory Smith,
our executive from 1868 to 1867, ITO be ng
one OF the war governors has been partcu-
larly rem mbered for his strong and
aggressive support of the national govern
m snt during those days OF darkness.
Col. Smith as young man chose the
law as his profession. He became men,
Der of the Franklin county bar at an early
age, forming partnership with Guy G.
Noble under the firm name of Noble &
Smith. His fathers declining years soon
required his assistance in the management
OF the Central Vermont railroad, the father
DOIiS euC pi CoiUCnI duO tEC oOu flSC pl
dent OF this extensive system. Col. Smith
exhibited such aptitude and abb lity tor rail-
road management, that upon the death Of
his father he became president, being then
the youngest railroad president in the
United States.
The duties of this office for the past Is
years have engrossed the larger part OF his
time. In addition to this he is identified
with large part of the business enter
prises Of St. Albans, being director of a
large number. He is president of the
Peoples Trust Co. Of St. Adams, the St.
A b ans Messenger Co, and number Of
other corporations. His popularity at
home, where he is best known, is evidenced
in his election in 1890 to represent bis
town in the legislature by the unanimous
vote of both democrats and republicans.
In this Legislature he took promi-
nent part in shaping its course. He was a
member OF number of the most important
committees and chairman of that of ways
and means.
He has been peculiarly a man engrossed
in the duties of his business, putting bis
whole energy to whatever called him each
day and but little time has been spent out
side of it. For this reason few of the resi-
dents in this part of-the state claim per
sonal acquaintance with him aside from
those who have met him in a business way
Beside from his business qualifications he is
said to be genial, warm-hearted man,
approachable by all classes, eminently pop.
ular among those he is brought in contact
with, a kindly sympathetic nature to whom
the most humble employee feels at liberty
to appeal, being sure OF a kindly reception
and hearing.

IDENTIFY not prepared to accept with re''gna-
ton the withdrawal of the Mccullough
forces from the guberna orial field. He
would doubtless prefr TO see the fight to
a finish and voices his preference in the
following letter:
The card OF Gen. Mccullough in your
issue of to-day dos not lessen, but intensi-
fes and doubles, the duty of every patri-
otic Ve~monter to do everything honorable
to secure hi, nomination and assure his
ele aion a. governor of Vermont.
1t DEM nsfrates beyond the shadow Of
doubt what bis supporters have claimed
for him; that he is not s. lt.no minated
candidate
1t establishes that he not only Is not
maser Of appliances Of petty polititius
ut that their methods are abhorrent to bis
moral convictions, an that in his estima-
ton positions thus received bring with
them no htn,r. Every-lins of his tat' er
(though not so d. sigoed) is an added
areum mt fer the people to rise In their
might, break the shackles Of political in
'rigue now binding them, and secure
future purity of elections by bestowing on
b'm, unsolicited, the honor which, so
fired, h. will not aud could not ryfuse.
Ia above the petty consideration of s.cur-
ing party harmony by the sacrifice Of the
best, ri es the need OF the people in the
crisis he ludes to to call to their service
the broadcast and best intellectually within
her toriers. 1t is needless for me to say
hat this letter is neither induced, approved
or dreamed OF by him. Gen. Mccullough
never yet asked my support; l never ten
dered to him my advocacy of his merit for
the Office Of governor. | rendered it to
the patriotic. thinking men OF Vermont in
beNalt of her best interests and good; that
tender cannot be recalled except by their
command given through her conve ton in
June.
Let the people seek their governor this
year. 'Vox popull vox Dei'' is true and
grand when the people awake to their iuty.

War Still Threatens.

Between Spain and the Cuban Jun.a the
United States government finds itself in
the embarrassing position of the well-mean-
ing but officious person who takes an active
hand in domestic quarrel. Both bellig-
erents cease for the moment to rend each
other and prepare to rain their blows on
the head of the intrudlng third party.
The JuEta through its counsel, Horatio
S. Rubens, declares that unless the indepen-
dence of the Cuban republic is recognized,
the military forces will refuse to cooperate
and will turn their guns against the United
States should troops be sent into the
island. Later Mr., Rubens explains that
his statement was made on the indication
that the object of the United States in re-
fusing recognition was to annex the island,
but that the Cubans would gladly welcome
the aid Of the American army in securing
their independence.
The sending Of the presidents message
to congress has been postponed owing to

American citizens in Cuba, who are in i'm
