The reaping was calculated to make
the cynic smile, if he could see the
whole oft, BIT Judge Powers is not
cynic, The process moved him to
publish a card whacking at Page for
attacking" him and promising to
come out and explain things. No
body knew that any attack had been
made and the result of publishing
the card was simply to cause the
reader to wonder and make Powers
fresh target for all the Page news
papers. Then the Chicken feed"
suggestion came, and Immediately a
lot Of Pages newspapers lost tenn
per and began to throw things and
talk about the matter in a way to
give a shrewd politician like Page
acute indigestion. All this time
Peck and Foster of Burlington and
Batchelder Of Arlington gave no sign
and served merely as a decorative
background. And finally Pages
newspapers with blessed innocence
go to talking about their candidates
popularity" in a way to make the
man who carried his own county by
20 majority when heran for the gov
ernorship grind his teeth away down
to the roots. And the nominating
convention is still 10 months ahead.
The Herald was indeed unfortu-
nate in its reference to the chicken
feed business. 1t failed in a way
truly lamentable to make itself un-
derstood. We never dreamed of in
timating that the great moral en-
gines might not have had from Can
didate Page things more substantial
than advertisements. Upon recon-
sideration we are inclined to think
that, in view of the Journals we'll
established reputation under present
management, it would have been
proper to exclude it from the general
suggestion and said that it must
have Jared extremely well in respect
to Doodle" We failed to do that,
but perhaps some amends can be
made now. If the happy contem-
porary will let us know the amount
we will print a statement as to what
it got without taking off a penny,
and if it finally gets another "wad''
from Page for taking the other side
we will print any facts furnished as
to that, and do it cheerfully.
But we are curious about the La
noble county vote of 1890 when
Page was elected Governor. The
Journal suggests, if we understand
it rightly, that in Morristown Judge
Powers malign influence led Repub,
hcans to vote the Democratic ticket
or kept them from voting altogether,
so that the enemy carried the town,
which is strongly Republican. II
that is true the fact is serious. Judge
Powers was plainly bound to support
the Republican state ticket, and if he
failed to do it the Herald will be glad

to join the Journal and all Republi-
cans running him out of the party.
But, while Morristown adioins
Pages town of Hyde Park on the
south, Eden joins it on the north,
and the vote for Governor in that
own in 1888 and 1890 appears
thus
1883 1890
Kep'-Dem' Rep.-Dem.
134 "A 40 127
That is to say, a Republican ma
jority of three to one in 1883 was
changed to a Democratic majority
of three to one in 1890 What was
the matter? Who lived there? Did
the diabolical Powers influence
stretch across Hyde Park and over
the sacred Page tannery to Eden
and do the mischief? That could
hardly be-but how is the fact ex-
planned? Did Page buy too many
calf skins up there? That surely
could not be. We must believe that
some bad man lived there. Who
was he? Let us get at him.
And, by the way, it looks as if
some man not altogether good lived
in Hyde Park itself-Pa2e's capital.
The Republican majority of 76 there
in 1888 fell to five in 1890, and no
explanation of the fact is offered.
Who did it? But then, Page car
ried his own town and his own coun-
ty and was elected He "got there"
and all beyond that is solid comfort.
The bissful conte 1porary's sug-
gestion that evid nee of Pages pop
ularity be scar he'd for apart from
election returns seems to us entirely
sensible. Why doesn't TIL neighbor
begin the work itself? 1t might
hunt up the blaze of glory in which
Page went out of the Governorship
and with it dazzle and utterly con-
found all his critics.

Ex-Governor Page has a lot of pa.
pers booming his candidacy for Con
gress, but that is hardly a matter on
which Judge Powers could base his
accusation that he was the victim OF
newspaper attacks. The campaign
is developing some doubtful features
already. 1t is not too early to begin
work, as Gov. Pages opponents are
aware whenever he is candidate

the following startling information
to the public:
"Gov. E. c. Smith, Lieut.. Gov Bates, Gov.
Rollins of New Hampshire, eX-Governors
Ormsbee, Farnham, Stewart, Pingree, Dill
lingham, Page, Woodbury. and Grout, United
States Senators Proctor and Ross, Congress
men Powers and Grout have accepted the
invitation of the managers of the Vermont
State Fair to be held September ] 3. Other
distinguished gentlemen from without the
state are also expected to attend. No such
gathering was ever before known in YER
mont and the occasion will be one OF unu-
sual interest. Addresses from the distin-
guished guests may be expected II time per
mits. Remember the date, September B.
1899, and make arrangements to be present"
The statement that "nO such
gathering was ever before known in
Vermont" is correct to a hair, as is
also the conclusion that "the occa-
sion will be one of unusual interest. :"
The roundup on one platform OF
Dillingham;, Page, Woodbury., circuit,
Powers, Proctor and Ross-tO say
nothing of the others mentioned
should in itself prove sufficient to
send the state fair of 1899 thunder
ing down the ages as the most nu-
merously attended and halcyon and
vociferous event of the kind ever
evolved by the master mind of an
agricultural boss trot committee. 1t
will be impressive but not depress-
ing; neat but not gaudy. The spec
tacle OF the benevolent assimila-
tion," so to speak, of Dillingham;,
Grout, Powers, Page, Ross, ct Get
era, may drive a peg in the front
yard of history even not second to
the late peace congress in Dutchiand.
Its possible bearing on the near and
remote future cannot be overesti-
mated.
By the way, why is the name of
John L. Barstow, our Ely rebellion
Governor, omitted from the list,
which would otherwise be complete.
