serve notice that the Republican party

good man and wife to 60 with him

Good st. Augustine has left on re-
cord in his confessions that when, in
young and later manhood be was con-
tending all too freely with his cor
ruption, he would pray, give me pur.
ity-but not yet. 1t seems to be
somewhat after the manner here with
our fellow Republicans when the Cry
goes out from one wing of it, give US
harmony and unity, the response is
yes, but not yet. Far be it from any
man to deny another the privilege OF
holding and carrying out his political
preferences, if consistent of course
with law and older And SO at this
time when the great nations of the
earth are graphing with new and
world wide questions of the most
interest, who will blame
any Vermonter 10 the matter of the
U. S. Senatorship now before us, if he
shall prefer so far as circumstances
will allow, to follow the safe counsel
Of Abraham Line ,ln and not swap
horses while crossing the stream?
Will ever congressional experience be
more needed than just now when SO
large an element in our country's
that the very foundations of
the Republic are threatened.
