Gen. Mccullough withdraws.

Hall Farm, North Bennington. Vt,
April 4, 1898.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
My Dear Sir-My name has been
mentioned frequently during the past
few months as candidate at the COM
ing convention for the Republican
nomination for the high Office of gov
ernor of Vermont: and have received
many assurances of support from lead
ing Republicans in all parts of the
state, such as would justify me in ex-
pecting the nomination. My position
from the first has been that if it should
come to me with reasonable approach
to unanimity in the convention and
with general approval among the peo-
pie. | should esteem 1t high honor
and should gratefully accept it.
But am not willing to engage in an
unseemly contest, such as now appears
to be probable. | do not think
that struggle OF that sort. as it might
come to be conducted, would be cred
liable to the state or beneficial to the
Republican party. More especially in
the present year, when the country is
confronted by some of the gravest and
most perplexing problems in its histo-
~ and when it is most important 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 the full per-
Torrance of their duty, as the ringing
voice from the Vermont hills has so Of
ten done in the past, when voters else
where have seemed to falter upon ma
tional issues of vital Importance to the
republic.
| must therefore decline to be re-
garded as candidate, or to throw any
obstacle in the way of entire harmony
in the party.
In taking this course | wish to as
sure my friends throughout the state
that I am in no sense ungrateful to
them for their confidence and proffered
support. which has placed me under
obligations | can never forget. but |
believe that with me they viii recog-
nize as paramount the Importance of
avoiding at this time every semblance

A Word from New Hampshire

MIR. EDITOR have read with much
interest the articles published in your
paper of late in regard to prohibition
and high license. and am glad TO note
that prohibition in the state of Yer
mont does not lack supporters. The
time has come in the history of the
world when men and women should
stand out boldly for what they know
to be Just and right and to fight as
boldly in inst and honorable way
against everything which tends to drag
down and destroy the manhood and
lives of mankind.
We don't need to 60 back to other
ages or to consult the wise minds to
discover the brutal effects and lasting
injury done to the human race by that
great and diabolical curse called rum,
ms it is dispensed today. The God OF
the universe condemns it, every sober
minded and intelligent person (when
not influenced by the chance of gain)
condemns it, and every person who
favors the open sale of rum may be
looked upon as one who either wants
to soak himself with it or become rich
err for its being sold.
Are these idle words, spoken simply
for effect No. Go stand upon the
street corner of the city and note the
steady stream of men and boys filing
into the place where rum is sold. Note
the cash 90 over the counter that
should have gone to pay board bills,
clothe the Individual or if he has Il
family 90 TO help support and educate
the members thereof. Go step further
and note the brutal usage that family
receives when the drunken father en-
tiers his home. Turn again to the Jail,
the court room, the states prison. the
asylum, the hospital and poor farm and
look with pity upon the wrecks of hui
mainly that have been placed there
nine times out of ten by the use of rum.
Go again into the office, the business
place, the workshop and out onto the
hillside farm and what do you see?
Staggering and unreliable minds, a
tendency to live beyond ones means,
vacant places at the bench, shiffless
husbandmen, and all this caused by
rums
They say the open sale of rum will
enrich and build up the neighborhood
and going step further they say it
Will build up our country. Now sup
pose il the truth were known, rum has
done more directly and indirectly to
dwarf the nation and cripple the in
dustry of our land than any other one
agency employed.
They say prohibition does not pro-
hibit. If it does not, why not? Are
the officers Of the state unable to han
die the subject and enforce the law?
Then let the force be doubled and
crowd the enemy until he shall be glad
to cease from violating the law of the
state and take himself off to his own
place.
| am for prohibition because l be-
lieve it is the right thing in the right
place; because | believe it will, if
handled rightly, sweep an abominable
evil from off the face of the earth and
promote industry and prosperity
within the state in which it exists.

Hon. Il. j. Phelps is one of the oppo-
nents of war with Spain. He supports
his position with lengthy argument
tending to show that this country has
no legal right to interfere in Cuba.
As few claim this, his effort is wasted.
Law is not all the governing force in
this world. The case is well put as
follows by Bro. Harris -
"E. j. Phelps, of the peace-with-
shame syndicate, contributes learned
legal argument against our right TO
intervene in Cuban matters, regard
less of what may be the condition
there. II is the legal right on the one
hand, and decency, humanity, propri-

Interesting Facts About the Cap ital Of Our New Possession Zn the West Indies,

have been made there in many years, while the method of handling freight and transporting passengers from the steamers is of the most primitive style.
 Upon reaching the shore in the small boats of the steamer the great wall is the first thing examined. It was built centuries ago of stone quarred from the hills inland. It is wonderfully con- structed. These massive pieces of stone placed one upon the other have with stood the ravageS of the clements and the rays of tropical sun without show ing the slightest sign of decay. The wall from one end to the other is thickIy covered with moss and luxuriant vines, which grow in abundance along the shore and in the thick forests among the trees.
 The shores are uninteresting. At the landing place, which is also built of stone, is the main gate or entrance to the city. Here a guard is stationed. He is of the regulation, undersized type of man that goes to make up the Span ish army and is looked upon more with pity than with fear. He is usually very dark, poorly clad and carries a will lainous looking rife. on the muzze of which is placed knife bayonet. There is no challenging during the day, and the sentry is kept busy lodging the hot rays of the sun that keep constantly shifting.
 Once through the gate, the visitor gets his first real impression of the city, and it may be just as well to state here that, while it is lasting one. it is de- cidedly disagreeable. The initial greet ing is a vile and sickening odor from the filth that Is allowed to accumulate near the houses and in the streets, for, besides being one of the oldest cities of the new world.

Juan has that will be found in few American cities, and that is a large number of small parks, or plazas. as the natives call these little garden spots.
 The business section and the govern- ment buildings are grouped together aroundso sone of the principal parks near the main entrance. The buildings are constructed of stone and with few ex- captions are not more than two stories high. Most of them are built with large balconies over the street and supported by heavy stone pillars, which give them massive appearance. The gov- ernment buildings are old, having been built many centuries ago, but they are so we'll constructed that time has made little impression on them. The resident portion of the city is nearer the main- land side of the little island, while the business sections are in the center which is guarded by the drowning for tresses that skirt either end.
 San Juan, like Havana and other large cities of the Spanish West Indies, has its Morro or promontory castle. It is situated on bluff jutting out from the city walls, with lighthouse immediate ly in the rear, and is on the most promi- nent point of the Notifications. The ocean pounds and thunders against the massive wall on the sea side, but the landward harbor is quiet and safe for any vessel. Not far away from the cita- del and surrounded by the wall is large and well kept parade ground, where once or twice a week, and usually when the commanding officer is so dis posed, the troops are paraded for the qualification of the residents. There are about 4000 troops kept continually in the Notifications about the city.
 Near the parade ground is the ancient castle of no less a person than Ponce de Leon, the first governor of the island and the man who tramped through Florida and other places in search of the fountain of perpetual youth. lit- tie distance farther on is the church Of the Dominicans, where his ashes are kept in a leaden case, for Ponce the Lion Hearted was a great man who in his day cleaned out the Indians of the island with a thoroughness that earned for him an exceedingly great reward. In the main public park opposite the cathedral and surrounded by several of the more imposing buildings is a large monument erected to the memory of the | romantic fellow who so greatly dreaded the ravages of age.
