His Opportunity.

Ex-Governor Dillingham; has been ad-
vi.ed to become a candidate for congress
in the second district, relinquishIng for the
present his ambition to grace seat in the
senate.
Last week the Bellows Fall, TIMES
offered this advice, and while the same has
been proHered before, it appears that the
TINES has rightly grasped the situation.
Mr.. Dillingham; would make for the sec
ond district worthy and capable repre-
sentative. 1t is the natural and consistent
step to be taken to seat in the senate.
Mr.. Dillingham; would be raw material as
a senator. 1t would be far easier for him
to at first fill the position of congressman
He could do himself honor and much more
for his district in the lower house. 1t
would be schooling for the higher place.
Being consistent man and discerning
enough to see the trend of affairs, Mr..
Dillingham; will no doub apps be- fore the
voters of his district as wiling and zeal
Gus candidate for the position OF congress

the general sentiment outside OF Washing

the general sentiment outside OF Washing
ton county will probably be averse to TAX
ing United States senator and repre-
sentative to the NATIONAL house both from
the same county. This feeling will tell
against both ex-Gov Dillingham; and Mr..
Plumley, ard the success OF Mr.. Plumley
in the nominating convention next June
would iniure ex-Gov. Dillingham's pros
poets in the legislature the following win
ter. These gentlemen must settle between
themselves this little matter, but Washing
ton county mustn't expect to gather two
rich plums at the expense OF the other
counties on the east side.
Before Mr.. Plumley's candidacy was
officially" announced, the Bellows Falls
TINES suggested that ex-Gov. Dillingham;
could easily win the prize in the second
district and hoped that he would not let his
personal ambition stand in the way OF his
own best interests and those OF our own
good state. Up to this time, so far as we
can learo, the ex-governor has not with
drawn from the canvas, for seat in the
United States senate, and if he consents
to run tor congress, Washington county
will have two candidates for the place, and
that will keep up the complication,-Lsnd-

The Senate or Nothing.

1t has been again suggested that Mr..
Dillingham; be elected to the house of rep
resentatives from the second district. The
sugg estion seems to lack the quality of
entire disinterestedness. 1t is mans
privilege to be or not to be candidate for
this public Office or that, but Mr.. Dilling-
ham is not wholly at liberty to choose for
himself between the office of senator and
that of representative. People of Yer
mont CT all ranks and conditions long ago
di.cerned in him the man endowed by
nature, qualified by experience and associ-
alton to bear the states commission in the
national senate. He is candidate for the
senatorship in answer to the summons of
large and Influential body of his fellow
citizens, in all parts of the state. More
over, he could not now-and there has not
been time in the recent past when he
| could if he would-enter the canvass in the
second district without just complaint on
the part OF the worthy men who have
already announced their candidacy, on the
well understood determination of Mr.. Dill
lingham's senatorial candidacy. Elabora-
ton of the reasons would be in VAIN.
Mr.. Dillingham; will abide steadfastly in
the candidature for the senate, and his
supporters will from time to time address
to the minds and good sense of the electors
such further reasons and considerations of
weight and moment why he should be
chosen as must inevitably make his calling
and election sure -Montpelier Journal.

Both Winners.

The Bellows Falls TIMES seems to have
gone into the business of naming winners.
Week before last it named Gen. William
w. Grout for the senate and last week it
named Hon. William P Dillingham; for the
house, both winners in their class 1t has
been understood that Mr.. Dillingham; would
be satisfied with nothing less than seat in
the senate, but it would seem that if the
honorable ex-governor desires residence
in Washington, d. c., he would be much
surer of 1t by trying for representative
rather than to enter q contest for senator
against Gen. Grout, who seems to be the
logical and only candidate tor the place.

Flower Beds of Ease.

The Montpelier Journal last week ex-
plicitly stated, on behalf of Hon. William
P. Dillingham;, that he would remain In the
senatorial fight until the end. Or, in the
words of another doughty candidate, there
are only two things which can stop him,
VIZ, death, or lack of votes This
means, of course, that Mr.. Dillingham; is
entirely out of the calculations in congress
ional politics. Without presumirg TO ad-
wise Mr.. Dillingham; as to bis course, it is
not improper to express the opinion that
Mr.. Dillinghsm's deliberate choice will en-
tail upon him a hard campaign, and size
able chance of disappointment. As can
didate of the Second District be would GER
tain'y be''wsfted on fowery beds of ease"
and find him'elt in easy way of access TO
the senate later on ;but in the senatorial race
next year there is listed sno'her candidate
who will be pretty apt to lead the way out.

Danced a Cancan.

The vision of solid county was knocked
out in the first round Thursday by the
wicked Bellows Falls TIMES in a leader
upon the situation in Windhsm county
with reference to Col. Haskins' candidacy
tor Congress. 1t wa, bomb she'll that
blanched the cheeks Of the political bosses
of the city OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and made
them dance cancan. Never before was
Brattleboro so stirred as upon the appear
ance OF the TIMFs on Thursday. There
was 'hurrying to and fro" The lights
went out in the Phoenix office, the Whet-
stone ceased to flow and Wantastiquet Wis
IDLY sank an inch. exit" violently rang
up B-igadier General julius j. Estey but
that distinguished military hero had heard
the news and donned his uniform, and was
busily penning an order for the gallant LIST
regiment to march upon Bellows Falls.
All this and much more came about be-
cause the TINES dared to tell the truth,

Dillingham; and the House.

No one will deny that Mr. Dillingham;
would make worthy and capable sue
cessor to Gen. Grout in the house, and
there are indications that the nomination
would come to him easily if he cared to
accept it. In years gone by the honse of
representative, has usually been regarded
by the people of Vermont as suitable
stepping stone to the senate, and there is
little doubt but what congressman of Mr.
Dillingbam's character and brilliancy would
receive the consideration of the legislature
at the opportune time for promotion. He
is a comparatively young man and few
years of experience in the lower house
would add immensely to his qualifications
for the senate. If 1t develops that the
people of the second district are ready
and willing to elect Mr.. Dillingham; to the
house, it strikes us that he will be unwise
to decline the proffered honors and insist
upon going to the senate or staying at home.
A half loaf is better than nothing and
seat in the house of representatives is
not to be despised even by man OF Mr..
Dillingham; calibre.-Deer6eld Valley

An Assumption Removed.

The Bellows Falls TINES processes to
to believe that Ex-Governor Dillingham;
can be induced to lay aside his SENSATIONAL
ASPIRATIONS Tor the congre'si onal honors it
has to offer him. The TINES bases it pro-
fessed belief on the assumed fact that ex-
Governor Dillingham; has made no explicit
denial OF possible acceptance OF the dis
tinguished honor it would confer upon him.
The assumption may have deceived few,
and caused doubt in the minds OF others.
To correct any wrongful impression that
may have been caused by the TINES as
sumption, and to remove any possible
doubt as to hi, position, publicity is given
to the following in answer to queries made
of him by the journal. In his letter,
Governor Dillingham; outlines his position
with clearness and distinctness, and says:
81 have not been. and am not now, cam
didate for the house, but am, as / have
been since Senator Morrill's death, can
didate TOR the senate, and propose to re-
main in the field until the peoples repre-
rentatives have determined the question by
an election"
Governor Dillingham; speaks, as he al
ways speaks, right up to the point, and his
words are emphatic and explicit enough
to di'pal every illusion springing from the
unfounded assumption of the TIMES, and
to remove the last, lingering doubt as to
his position, 'rom the mind of every person in
state. Yes, CIV. Dillingham; is in the
race to stay. The Journal belle he is
in the race TO win, because the people have
determined that upon him shall rest the
mantle OF the late lamented Morrill,

cessful lawyers in the state. His renown as
an advocate is especially noteworthy. The
careful preparation which he always gives
to his cases, his mastery of the law, his
forceful convincing utterance and pleasing
magnetic presence have placed him with

where he has practiced.
MIR. Stafford succeeded Hon. G. A.
Pfouty as reporter of decisions of the Yer
position to the eminent satisfaction of both
bench and bar. Last year he was presi-
dent OF the Vermont Bar association and
delivered an address of rare merit at the
annual meeting of the association in Octo-
Der. He has represented the town of ST.
Johnsbury in the leg lature and held var
lous other public offices, always with dis
function. His fame a, public speaker has
extended beyond the borders of his native
state and he has been among the honored
speakers in the lecture courses of Boston
and New York.
Always plain, warm hearted man Of the
people, he never fails to keep their inter-
ests in view; as public speaker his words
are for the humblest laboring men as well
as the most exalted in station. He is a
thorough republican, in accord with the
policy of the administration in the Philip
pines, and what he bas to say on this i'm
portant sui .ct is well worth hearing.

CONGRESS before Senate.

"Congress before Senate is our motto,
and we apply it to Hon. w. P Dillingham;.
He is a man of power in the state and for
whatever office he may aspire is sure to
have a strong following 1t is already con-
ceded that the fight for senatorial honors
must rest between him and Congressman
w. w. Grout; but the very experience he
lacks is what will place Grout far in the
lead. Were he to enter the congressional
race, an office he should certainly aspire to
before looking higher, it is evident he will
receive hearty endorsement from all parts
of the state and thus smooth out what-if
indications are propbetic-may prove to
be an exceedingly ruffled political cam

A Little Visionary.

On August IS the Journal made sug-
gestion embodying what the TINES now
advocates. At that time the state press
did not take kindly to the advice offered
by the Journal and from what has been
said since we believe the TINES is little
visionary. Since the withdrawal of the
Hon. l.. M. Reads name we understand
that Windham county i, practically unani-
nous in presenting the name OF Hon. Kit
fridge Haskins who, by the way, is one OF
the brightest men in the state. 1t is true
that if Mr.. Dillingham's friends would con-
sent to the withdrawal of his name as can
didate for senator it would clear the way
for the Hon. w. W. Circuit, and his ambi-
ton to become a senator would be graft
fied.-Poultney journal.

Want Dillingham;.

1t does seem as if Ex-Governor William
p. Dillingham; would see the hopelessness
OF his senatorial aspirations. He can go
rolling off alog, however, and that appears
to be about the place he should land. The
withdrawal OF Judge Levant M, Read of
Bellows Falls from the congressional race
does not mean that Windham county will
be solid Tor its other candidate, Col. Kit
fridge Haskins, In tact, it seems pretty
certain that the north half OF that county
will favor any other candidate first They
evidently would like to support Mr.. Dilling

Lewiston. He put the Idaho part
of that in at 81 miles. Then he
