Politics Over the Mountain.

There will be politics and lots of it on
the east side of the state during the next
two years and the situation on the west
side is not devoid of interest. The know
ing ones are saying that Congressman
Powers cannot be reelected without con-
test, and the possibility that ex-Gov. Page
may be q candidate means that the contest
may be of Titanic proportions.
The st. Johnsbury Republican of last
week prophesies that Powers and Page will
be the leading candidates and says: Their
support is yet to be announced, although
some OF the cast can be pretty safely reck-
oned on. Chief among Gov. Pages sup
porters is to be counted Senator Proctor,
for it is not conceivable that he would not
do all in bis power to aid the man who
placed him in the senate. With P. w.
Clement, Senator Proctor's only rival in
the control Of Rutland county, absorbed in
railroad matters, this would seem to give
Gov. Page the advantage in that county.
Outside of any local candidate, Bennington
county is likely to flock to tie man who
promises the most to further the guberna-
torial ambition of Hon. j. G. Mccullough.
Addison county would seem to be fan
fighting ground for both forces with but
little advantage at the start for either can
didate. Chittenden county without loca

SUDDEN DEATH,
We regret to state that Mrs Eliza Searles,
who had lived alone since the death of her
husband several years ago, was found dead
in bed about 80 Monday morning. All day
Sunday Mrs Searles was apparently in her
usual health; she wrote several letters and in
the evening mailed them. Last Saturday
she remarked that she had not been so well
fora long time. Monday morning when Mrs.
Hodgkins, her sister, saw that no smoke
came from the chimney, she went to see what
was the matter, but could get no answer ex-
cept barks from the dog; so she informed
some OF her family and neighbors, who took
out one of the windows and found Mrs
Searles lying peacefully on the bed as though
she were asleep. The doctor was called in,
and stated that she must have been dead for
several hours Mrs. Searles, who was II
years of age, was born in this place and had
always lived here, and left many relatives
and friends to mourn her loss She is sur
vived by one daughter, Mrs James Smith of
Bellows Falls, two sisters, Mrs Chids and
Mrs. Hodgkins, and two half-sisters, Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Blake. The funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
