As 10. "Exper,ence.-

Mr.. EDITOR lit is argued by Gen.
CIRCUITS supporters that we should not
displace man ''of experience in
Congress for one not experienced. This
rule, fully applied, would perpetuate a
man in office. once he was there. II
we ought to keep a legislator forever
in office, we, all the more, should not
remove an administrative officer like
the secretary of state, state treasurer
or auditor. Experience counts for a
great deal more in matters Of admins
tration than OF legislation. But we are
now asked, and it cannot be denied
that there Is ground for it, to put new
men in our several state offices. II
new blood is needed there, much more
is ii needed in representation from
this district in Congress. Experience
is all right. if il has brought power and
influence. This it has not done in Gen.
CIRCUITS case. No one can contend he
is one whit stronger now in Congress
than he was in 1888. For 16 long years
has he been kept there. Men have
come and men have gone. leaders have
arisen; he keeps the same old posi-
ton, that of good, conscientious
worker, faithful in the minor and per-
sonal matters of his constituents, we
we may grant, but far, very TAR. from
the front rank in the House. 1t caused
almost chagrin throughout the state.
the manner in which he was handled
by Barrett of Massachusetts, in debate
a year or two since, and Barrett was a
new man in Congress. Ii is not that
he is not talker that we particularly
complain. Senator Proctor is not that !;
and yet we hear from him; the coun-
try knows of him; he is influential and
powerful. 1t is because Gen. Grout
has failed to grasp the leading prob
lens, has not been able to impress
himself upon the House as a man of
force, that accounts for his compare
lively obscure position. He has had
long experience. But that experience
has failed to acquire for him promi-
hence.
On the other hand. Judge Read has
had very little experience in legisla-
tive work. only two terms in the state
House of Representatives but in this

we can compare them. Ifone had inn

questions for attention, which would

side by side in the courts of Vermont,

CIRCUITS most earnest supporters can

perience at the bar, and so has Read

have joined forces to defeat Mr.. How
land. That accomplished, Mr.. Spear
might gracefully retire in favor of Mr..
Brownell and then consider himself

ate the Records charge. Each candi-

As usual, Brattleboro is in the
where-are- we-at? condition politically.
1t has two candidates for state offices,
DIR. II. ID. Holton for lieutenant-gov-
ernor and w. III. Bracket for treasur-
re. OF course it cannot land both
offices and in trying to do so win quite
likely secure neither, as there are
other candidates not so badly handi-
capped. Gen. Estey, the local boss,
advises that Holton be dropped and a
union be formed in Brackets behalf.
Holton's friends don't like the idea
somehow. In the meantime the can
vass of Henry c. Bates of st. Johns
bury for lieutenant-governor and that
of John l.. Bacon of White River juno
ton Tor state treasurer bowl merTily
along. Both are good, worthy men
and strong reasons for their selection
can be given. We are going to hazard
a guess on the makeup Of the Repub-
lican state ticket this year. 1t is not
only our preference, but strong
probability For governor, Edward
c. Smith of st. Adams; lieutenant
governor, Henry c. Bates of St.
JohnsbuIy; treasurer, John l.. Bacon
of White River Junction; secretary of
state, Victor |. Spear of Braintree;
auditor, o. NJ. Barber of Arlington.

Why Barre May support Rowland.

While this city does not believe in
giving all the offices in the state to our
sister city, or making one man feel
himself burdened with official titles,
still the Telegram does think that
.'old FOUNDERS ought to give the young
men chance" and if there is to be any
change in the office of secretary of
state then this paper would say that if
Montpelier must have that Office, why
then give it to States Attorney How
land. He has filled nearly every office
mp to this position, and of course
should be given the next plum if it is
to be taken from the Secretary of
State, the Insurance Commissioner.
BY all means give us Rowland in place
of Brownell. No man in Vermont
should have any claim or mortgage on
any position in Vermont. No office in
this state belongs to any man. The
Office of secretary of state belongs to
the man who can get it. If there is no
other man in any other town who can
beat Brownell then we say make How
land the next secretary of state. Mont
pelier will feel hurt if this office is
given to any other city. Now if Mont
pelier desires her sister city, her
friendly rival. to support Rowland for
secretary of state, Barre should in turn
be given the office of states attorney
which Mr.. Rowland viii vacate should
he become secretary of state. Barre is
entitled to a senatorship, and if the
secretary of state goes to Montpelier
then Barre should be given the states
without any opposition. |
Rowland is well qualified for the sec
retaryship, and We hope he viii be
nominated Barre Telegram.

Republican" contributes another
letter this week concerning the Grout-
Read canvass. His claim that CIRCUITS
experience has failed to make him a
leader in Congress may or may not be
true. All Congressman cannot be
leaders in the sense that Reed, Gros-
venor or Henderson are. In our opin-
ion Grout has attained a station credi-
table to himself and to his district His
experience may not have made him
famous. but it has proven of much adj
vantage to his constituents, whom he
has served honorably and conscien-
ciouslv. The question is not as to
Grouts personal reputation. but is.

AT least two state papers have re-
corded that among recent instances of
Embarrassment in Vermont Randolph
has furnished one case. Where this
report sprang from we do not know,
unless from an affair at Roxbury. Ran
dolph does not deserve the calumny
being heaped upon it as no such de-
plorablc circumstance has occurred in
that town. Kindly correct yourselves,
brethren.

There are those unkind enough to
hint that Bro. Parkers failure to land
the Bradford postoffice has something
to do with his present opposition to
Gen. Grout, whom he has always here
tofore supported. However this may
be, there is strong evidence that he
speaks his own preference, rather than
that of his section, which will be
strongly for Gen. Grout.

Statements have appeared from time
to time in various papers that when
Gen. Grout was last nominated for
Congress he agreed to retire at the end
of his present term. Whether or not
this report was spread mt the time for
the purpose of making it appear that
his opponents had really accomplished
something and to let them down easy
we do not know. We have, however,
excellent authority for the statement
that Gen. Gront did not or has not
authorized any such announcement.
Nor do we believe that any one acting
for him has so announced, even with
out his authority. The report is being
spread in order to place him in false
light. VIII anyone who ever heard
Gen. Grout make the statement al
legged please come forward and say so
out loud?
