The Senatorial Question.

Mr.. EDIToR.-It behooves us as men,
Ders OF the Republican party in Orange
County to beware of wolves in sheep's
clothing, and find out who is trying to
lead, or advise or buy votes for Congress-
man Grout. 1t is not yet quite evident
Whether certain prominent democrat OF
Bradford is leading Grout or being led by
him. but when he admits that he does
not care who is elected for senator, if he
only gets his bread and butter, what NAV
we not expect? This leader of men Is
going about from town to town to find
out who the probable republican candi-
dates are. If they are Grout men he is
satisfied, if not he does his best to find a
candidate who will support the man who
is supporting him. Let us not be deceiv-
ed and allow the party to be broken up
into petty factions by any such methods,
After the election we shall hear this lead
er saying what else could you expect of
me.
prominent Republican has been heard
to say that he would not support Grout
II he had not promised to do so in return
for help in securing the post office for a
TREND. Grout has never, to our knowl-
edge, been known to help any one with
out first securing q pledge for his own
support. What disinterested patriotism!
When Republican Office holders engage
Democrats to work for their interests
Ind thus thwart the will of the people it
s time that such men be punished with a
signal defeat.

Identical in Principle"

The Bellows Falls Times is only reiter-
ating what other singers of the Grout
chorus have already uttered when it war
bles and MARBLES in the upper register in
this strain: sit has been pretty well dem

and the Grout bill now pending before
Congress are identical in principle. The
Circuit bill is backed not only by the dairy
interests of Vermont but OF the entire
country. and the question of impractical
bilitv or unconstitutionality has never
been raised" The crescendo comes when
the Times wants to know how Mr.. Dill
lingham "who opposed the Parker bill in
1884 can support, if elected to the United
States Senate, the GrOut bill, or similar

j. NJ. Warden recently received a
letter from Geo. w. Farr of Kansas
City in which he discusses Bryan and
politics. He says:
| suppose Bradford is all for Bryan and
free silver, and for giving up all we have
been fighting for. think we will hold
on to them whether Bryan is willing or
not and if lot of our good men and wo-
men have been murdered in China we

asking Bryan whether it is right or
wrong, | know the democrats have been

Lincoln was reelected the country would
be ruined, he was reelected and we have

haven't the dictator yet. Four years ago

penalty of $500 upon person who sold
such products without a license.
Now turn to the Grout bill. 1t pro-
vides for a tax of one fourth of one cent
per pound when the oleomargarine is not
colored in imitation of butter; but when
colored in imitation Of butter the tax to
be paid by the manufacturer shall be ten
cents per pound.
1t will be noted that the Parker bill
provided for a tax of $4,000 on each
wholesale dealer and $1,000 on each retail
dealer, in addition to penalty for selling
the stuff without license
Does anyone believe the Grout bill
which was hung on a peg in the last
session of Congress, would have had
show of becoming a law if the tax on
oleomargarine had been increased five
cents per pound, big taxes provide for
selling the product, with penalty for
