BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1900.

and his judgment was as much sought and
respected as it had ever been. In the es-
sental point of intellectual clearness and
force he was as good man as any who is
mentioned for his place today. The peo-
pie kept him in the Senate because he was
what he was-the man, Justin S. Morrill,
and for no other reason, and it is a gross
libel on his declining years that any sug-
gestion to the contrary should be made
The Watchman's attitude is further H.
lustrated by its techy fling that "The
Phoenix has taken some unnecessary space
and pains to develop Mr.. Ross's position in
the senatorial contest which is now agita-
ting the state" In any contest it is always
worth while to state the facts. 1t is GER
tainly worth while to state them when
done as ably and clearly and with as much
personal dignity as was shown by Senator
Ross in his staten The people can al
ways be trusted to have facts like these
and act upon them. ExGov. Dillingham's s
canvass will not be injured by their publi-
cation in this case. The only doubtful
feature for him that we know of is that
the Watchman supports him after its usual
fashion. Few candidates have ever sur
vived such support.

Comment on Senator Ross. Letter.

From the Burlington Free Pressl
In the calm and well considered letter
elsewhere copied from the Brattleboro
Phoenix, Senator Ross announces that he
is a candidate for the uuexpired portion Of
the term of the late Senator Morrill,. He
adds that he will not be a candidate for
the full term, and that he is not soliciting
support from papers or individuals, relying
solely on his record and his services to the
public. The Senator's position is a
dignifed and proper one, open to no criti-
cism, and calculated to increase the re-
spect in which he is held throughout Yer
mont. II public opinion had not already
become to such an extent concentrated on
the two leading candidates, Judge Ross
would, as we have heretofore remarked, be
a strong candidate before the legislature
As it is, his chances will depend on the
contingency that neither ex-Gov. Dilling-
ham nor Gen. Grout secures majority of
the legislature. In the event of a dead
lock, aud if he should command votes
enough to enable him to hold the balance
of power between the two leading candi-
dates, Judge Ross would stand an ex-
celent chance to retain his Office for two
years longer. We do not expect this con-
tingency to occur; but it is by no means
an impossible contingency.
Judge Ross has made an excellent record
in the Senate. Not one new senator in a
hundred has the opportunity which pre-
sented itself TO him, to make himself felt
and respected in that body almost from
the beginning of his service as a senator,
or improves it more successfully. An
active canvass in his own behalf, if he
were disposed to make one, would not
under the circumstances, strengthen his
position as a candidate for the succession
to himself. And whatever may be the
result of the election in the legislature next
October, he is sure of the esteem and graft
tude of the people of his state.
