MIR. CrOsby's Letter.

BRATTLEBoRO, VI, Aug. 10, 1900
To the Voters Of BrGttleboro:-
Some time ago my friends suggested to
me that l allow my name to be presented
as a candidate for town representative.
consented with the understanding that /
was willing to serve the people in that ca
pacity, providing there was a unanimous
sentiment in favor of my doing so. Dur
ing the past week there seems to have
arisen several other candidates, and not
relishing the idea of entering into fight
over this matter, have decided TO with
draw my name and shall not be a candi-
date for town representative this year.
If the time ever comes when there seems
to be a sentiment in favor of electing me as
town representative, should be willing to
serve the people in that capacity to the ex-
tent of my abilities, as l am still resident
of Brattleboro and expect TO be for all time
to come, Notwithstanding that my business
interests call me out of town portion of
Of the time.
Thanking my friends for their interest
in my behalf, am,
Very truly yours,
EDWARD T.. CROSBY.

for the benefit Of working women. An
other relates to the revision of the corpo-
ration tax law so as TO do away with the
necessity for direct state tax, and third
relates to legislation necessary to give the
state Of Vermont an efficient railroad com .
mission law, giving the commissioners en-
larged powers, and making the law Of
some practical effect. Other questions of
legislation Of interest to Brattleboro will
arise, and Mr.. Fits will be prepared to
deal with them actively and inteligently.
But the main issue in the election will be
Dillingham; and Grout.
We suppose there are few, If any, men
in Brattleboro who doubt that the major
ity of Brattleboro Republican sentiment is
very strongly in Gov. Dlllingham's favor.
The young men of the town are enthu-
siastically for him, and men of older years
believe in him no less thoroughly. An eff
fort will be made to get out every possible
vote, and next Monday afternoon and
evening are very sure to prove an exciting
time. 1t will be an occasion for the Dill
bingham men TO prove the faith that is in
them. No voter who wishes to see the ex-
Governor succeed to Senator Morrilps place
should wait to be sent for. He should
come TO the polls and cast his vote, and
put himself on record. 1t will also be the
privilege Of the Circuit men to make their
best showing, and in point of fact workers
for Grout have been "plowing" the country
around for more than week past.
There ought to be one decided element
Of strength in Mr.. Fltts's candidacy. 1t is
very well understood that when Gen. Grout
was here recently he appealed to his friends
to defeat the nomination of Mr.. Fits,
whatever else might be done. 1t now re-
mains TO be seen whether the voters of
Brattleboro care to have their action die
tated from the outside in this way.
1t only remains to be said that Mr..
Crosby has acted mans part in this can
vass, and this fact is likely to be remem-
bered in his favor at some future day.

Brattleboro people will give a hearty
welcome this evening to Hon. Frank Plum
ley of Mortified and Hon. l.. M. Read of
Bellows Falls, who will speak at the Re-
publican rally at West Brattleboro at 8
o'clock. Judge Read has always been held
in high esteem in Brattleboro, but he has
seldom spoken here at political gatherings.
Many people will be interested to hear Mr..
Plumley, who was Col Haskins's leading
opponent in the recent contest for the Re-
publican congressional nomination. Mr..
Plumley's campaign was conducted in such
a dignified and honorable manner as to win
the respect of all who did not support him,
and his withdrawal in the convention gave
Col. Haskins the necessary votes to secure
the nomination. Mr.. Plumley is brilliant
speaker, and in previous campaigns has
done effective work for the Republican
party on the stump in Michigan and other
states. The First Regiment band will fur
nish music. Special cars will be run, CIV
ing ample accommodations to all who wish
to 60 TO West Brattleboro to hear the
speakers. The speeches will be delivered

1t will thus be seen that the contest next
Monday is to be distinctly one between the
Grout and Dillingham; men in Brattleboro.
1t is so understood by Gen. Estey and his
Grout supporters, and by Mr.. Fits and
his supporters. Gen. Estey enters the
field by request of Gen. Grout and his
friends to prove the Grout strength, and
Mr.. Fits represents the Dillingham;
strength. The personality of the two men
does not enter into the contest as a fac
tor.
The decision by the Dillingham; men to
run Mr.. Fits was made almost solely on
the ground that he has been known as the
most active local supporter of Gov. Dill
lingham's candidacy, and because, if elect
ed, he could probably do more in the legis-
lature than any other Brattleboro man to
further Gov. DillinghNm's canvass. He
could do this in the first place because he
is a bright, alert, active and well-informed
young man who believes thoroughly in
Gov. Dillingham;; and, in the second place,
because he has wide acquaintance in the
state which would bring him at once into
personal contact and friendly relations with
nearly every member of the legislature.
AS the situation has developed, with
Gen. Estey appearing in the field, and his
attitude being as he himself stated it, we
regard it as fortunate that the issue is thus
clearly drawn. Gen. Estey will not deem
it an unkindness because any personal
friend votes against him, and every Dill
bingham vote can be given to Mr.. Fits be-
cause he stands as Gov. Dlllingham's rep
resentative. 1t is time when the men
themselves are in the second place, and
what they stand for is in the first place.
Aside from the senatorial contest, there
are several important matters of legislation
to come up with which Mr.. Fits is pecul-
liarly well fitted to deal One of these re.
lates to special legislation which will be
necessary to enable the town to secure and
use the income of the Thompson will fund
