Satisfied.


The Herald is glad to have Mr..
Bacon named as treasurer, and is es-
pecially glad to see Mr.. Barber on the
ticket. In this last case there are spec
lal reasons why all Rutland should re-
joice, for Mr.. Barber was Rutland's
very good and efficient friend at the
time of the city line trouble in 1894.
Moreover, he has exceptional fitness
for the place, and we expect, as one
man said in the convention, to have in
him Gan auditor who will audit"
The whole state should rejoice over
he fact that the state convention was
for once not held in hotel bedrooms by
half a dozen perpetual political bosses.
Things got into such shape that mani.
pulation Of the good old fashioned kind
was not practicable, and the bosses
kept mighty quiet. They pulled the
old strings the best they could for they
could for some Of the candidates, how.
ever, and were voted down IN each Of
the two cases where the test came
squarely. We are glad Of it and en-
couraged by it. This bedroom BUSH
ness inevitably tends straight toward
incompetence and dishonesty in office,
and Vermont has had plenty of exper-
fence from which to learn the fact

Our Candidate for Governor.

The nomination of Col. f. e.
Smith as the Republican candidate
for Governor was foregone conclu-
sion-foreordained by force Of cir
cumstances, yet it was given not
grudgingly but with hearty good
will rarely seen under like conditions
and must be very gratifying to the
candidate. 1t was really as much Of
triumph as if it (the nomination)
had been the result of hard fought
campaign.
Another pleasing feature was the
candidates speech of acceptance-a
model in its way-brief and pointed
with no slop over. Col. Smith thank
ed the convention, briefly referred to
the probability of his becoming, like
his father, war governor and prom
Used if elected to conduct affairs as
best he could and said that this was
the only political promise he had

There is no reason that he as we'll

for their "falth" but for their

them for the cordially with which
they have made the work of this con-

to express the hope that hereafter we
may have better understanding.

never thought of only as they thrust
themselves forward to the detriment
of their betters, places the county in
a position not likely to be envied by
any other section
The Republicans of Windham
county owe debt of gratitude CO to
their Brigadier Generals and Colonies,
and they should not be slow in pay
ing 1t with compound interest.
Through the manipulations of this
crew the county was made to take an
unnatural position by going in to the
convention with candidates for two
state positions: DR.. II. d. Holton
for lieutenant governor and w. H..
Bracket for state treasurer. The first
was called by the people from every
section of the state. This was as
founding to certain men and they ask.
ed themselves, "why did they not call
us?" After putting their heads to-
gether it was determined that this
thing must not be, for if Bratteboro
can now be passed perhaps the next
time we will be called or if not we
can with some show force ourselves
upon the county and people. To ac-
complish this their best wits were put
forth and W. H. Bracket, whose only
fault was that he allowed himself to
be used as cats paw to save the
chestnuts for this gang, was evolved
and put forward as candidate for
state treasurer. There WAS no call
whatever for Bracket outside of this
little coterie he was unknown out
side of his county and those who were
pushing his candidacy knew he had
no chance whatever, IN fact didn't
want he should succeed This fact
was we'll attested at the convention
as he did not receive single vote
outside of the county. That he re-
ceived the full county vote was mat
ter Of courtesy upon the part of dele
gates outside of Brattleboro, notwith
standing some of this towns dele
gates, ignoring their caucus instruc-
tions, did not vote for DR.. Holton.
Altogether it was contemplate
piece of business. The gang accom-
plished their desires but in the end
the sweetness of this seeming success
may be turned into bitterness. There
may be day of reckoning. The
matter will not soon be forgotten out
side of Brattleboro and voters of that
town, for their own honor should, the
first opportunity, bury these fellows,
titles and all, beneath an avalanche
of ballots.
