Gen. ]. G. Mccullough of Ben.
nington announced his withdrawal as
a gubcrnatorial candidate on Tues
day. He said that he had received
assurance of much support at the
coming Republican convention. and
would have accepted had the nomi-
nation come with reasonable APP
proach to unaniml,y and general APP
proval. He would esteem the high
honor in the office, but says: al
am not willing to engage III an I'M
secmly contest, such as appears to
be probable. More especially in the
present year, when the country is
confronted bv some of the gravcst
and most perplcxing problems in its
history and when it is most impor-
tant that the party should be strongly
united in support of the present
administration and its measures.
"To these it will be the privilege
of the Republicans of Vermont to
give their first emphatic approval in
the fall elections, thereby inspiring
other states to a full performance of
their duty, as the ringing voice from
the Vermont hills has so often done
in the past, when voters elsewhere
have seemed to faltcr upon national
issues OF vital Importance to the re-
public. must, therefore, decline
to be regarded as candidate, or to
throw any obstacle in the way of
entire harmony in the party"
BY the concessions that Spain has
already made, the causes, certainly
for immediate war, have been re-
moved. Apart from the destruction
of the Name, which cannot with
our present knowledge of it be made,
under any form of international
ethics, cause for war, the condi-
tons as they now exist in Cuba, so
far as Spanish official action goes,
would have been looked upon two
years ago as in no way warranting
interference hy our government. Ii
there had been no rcconccntrados de-
cree made, it home rule had been
granted to the Cubans, what ground
would there have been two years
ago for American interference: And
If not two years ago, now that the
chief admitted grievances have been
annulled, what ground is there for
present armed interference: There
would be none If there was not the

that there shall be, and that whether

people like it or not, they shall be
