CHASE S. OSBORN, candidate
for governor Of Michigan, made
a visit to Grand Rapids and this
is the way one Of the newspapers
there talked about him. His
admirers have dubbed him the
Upper Peninsula cyclone, and
the way he goes tearing around,
they claim, bears out the APP
propriateness Of the designation.
In an interview he said
Il plowed my way through six
counties last week, and ! think
that a pretty fair weeks work

situation in the state as far as my
candidacy is concerned has most

The district will receive about
$1,000 from the county treasurer

Marguerite insisted on seeking her for

who are there in great abundance, and,
without trepdation, entered the booth,

tale of plenty of money, good husband

some good portrait work displayed here,
some well-executed fruit pieces and
many other works of art. Everything,
from pianos to cough drops is to be seen
at the fair, at its best, and those who
have the exhibits in charge are most
genial and affable in displaying their
wares. Certain devices for blowing airy
bubbles without the aid of soap greatly
delighted the children, and, with the an.
ticipatiOn OF another rainy afternoon,
two OF these were purchased.
In the basement is very interesting

Very fine specimens of automobiles are
shown in every variety of style. On the

The Lowell Textile School has a very

This finished our sight seeing for that

secured seats in the auditorium and for

spent, and ready to advise all inquirng

The administration of Governor
Smith, just closed, has been a good
one. Gov. Smith has exhibited par
ticularly good judgment in his ap-
polntments. The selection of Judge
Ross as Senator Morrills successor
IN the United States senate was ideal
IN every respect. Equally as good
choice was made in filling vacancies
IN the supreme court, by the appoint
ment of Judges Watson and Stafford.
While we have not agreed with

The Senatorial Contest.

Nermonts greatest political con-
test is over and ex Gov. Dillingham;
is the winner. For at least fifteen
years he had been considered to be
in training for the place and on
Thursday he saw the ambition of
his life gratihed. 1t was a we'll
earned victory and he has hosts of
friends throughout the state, and
VeImonters in every state in the
Union, who are glad to extend con.
gratulations on this occasion. He is
a cultured, eloquent, Christian gen.
tleman and will represent the state
in the upper branch of Congress in a
highly creditabe manner. And we
believe he will represent the whole
state, and not any section of it, and
ever strive TO follow in the steps of
his illustrious predecessors.
Gen. Grout made the fight of his
lite and lost. He had earned pro.
motion to the senate by sixteen years
of faithful service in the House and
was splendidly equipped tor longer
public service. His friends supported
him because they believed in his fit
ness for the place and they did not
desert him for another candidate
He has come out of the contest with
a heroic spirit and even those who
did not support him admired his
pucky fight.
Senator Ross, whom many hoped
would be his own successor, has lost
no friends in the contest. MANY O
the supporters OF both Dillingham;
and Grout would have been glad tc
have supported him if the lines haC
not been so closely drawn before h,
was ever appointed. He will retir,
from his brief but notable senat oria
career with the satisfaction that h,
succeeded in short time in makint
a national reputation and played al
important part in shaping the for
eign policy of McKinley's admins
tration.

Senator. elect Dillingham;.
As Viewed by Some OF our Esteemed
Contemporaries.

Mr.. Dillingham; will be a model senator
in appearance and bearing. Hes better
looking than all the rest of us put to-
gether," said Gen Grout at the opening
of the canvass, and certainly there will
be few senatorial figures equally impress
sive. But not only in looks will the new
senator be a man for Vermonters to be
proud of. He has ability, knowledge in
public affairs and experience in their
management, legal learning, uncommon
power as public speaker, and an engag-
ing and magnetic personality. In the
ordinary course OF events Mr.. Dillingham;
will probably represent Vermont in the
Senate tor many years to come, and we
wish for him, and confidently anticipate,
a career that will reflect lustre on himself
and on the Senate Burlington News.
The Messenger most cordially and
heartily congratulates William P. Dilling-
ham OF Waterbury, United States sena-
tor-elect, upon the great honor and trust
that have been bestowed upon him by the
people OF Vermont. 1t congratulates
him upon the skilul handling of his can.

him upon those well known qualities OF
Christian manhood that have all these
years attached and held such a LOYAL cir
Gle of friends to hisinterest. Even as Mr..
Dillingham; may well be proud of his
great triumph as a recognition of per-
sona worth, so he may also rejoice that
1t was won for him by the fidelity of his
friends St. Adams Messenger.
He is man of broad scholarship and
spotless integrity, as well as a vigorous
and graceful orator, and a forcetul de-
batter and he will reflect credit upon our
state which in honoring him has honored
itself Senator Dillingham; is destined in
all proba ability to have long and useful
career in the upper branch of Congress,
and we shall be surprised if he does not
add one more to the brilliant galaxy of
famous United States senators to whom
Vermont people will ever point with
pride Burlington Free Press.
The elevation of Gov. Dillingham; to
the highest legislative position in the gift
the people is the browning of a career of
political activity. The new senator is a
man OF culture and gentle ways. He is
Vermont's choice, and be will be her safe

My friend Mrs. W. has two sprightlv
young infants who are at once the bane
and blessing of her life The mischief
that one can think Off only exceeded by
that conceived by the other. Yesterday
after their return from kindergarten,
Mrs. w., noticing an ominous silence in
the direction of the nursery, determined
to see at once what new turn their en-
oeaVors had taken, and found Donald
trying to induce Marguerite to put salt
IN one ear and sneeze, when, he assured
her' the salt would issue from the other.
MIS- W. arrived only in time to prevent
a trial Of this theory. "What shall do
with them this rainy day." she said to

and replied, LET us take them to the
Fair. That will amuse them for the rest

In short time we had been admitted
to the gaily decorated hall of Mechanics

Manufacturers Fair is in progress. Here
we found much to delight the eye and

corner under the stairs, and we supplied
their demands by purchasing each a
