Characteristic Dupllcity,

Subjoined is specimen gem from
General CIRCUITS broadside scattered
over the State with several tons, more
or less, of his "record:"
The following from the Vermont Watch
man shows how the anti-Grout papers treat
the oleomargarine question; read it,
1.-THE Grout oleomargarine factories in
Vermont are working over time in produc-
ing the vilest substitute for the butter, Of
truth and fact that was ever put on the
political market. Its constituent materials
are rancid stuffs fished from the swill bar
rel OF the pettiest partisan politics. The
worst oleo of commerce is sweetness and
purity In comparison with the product Of
the Grout factories. Chloride of lime
wouldn't deoderize it,"
Reader, do you call the above Watchmdn
editorial good answer to Mr.. Parker's
strong, dignified letter.
This is characteristic. The words
quoted from the WATCHMAN, as the
user OF them in this connection well
knew, were applied to the recent Grout
newspaper emaL atoms, and had no
more reference to Mr.. Parker's alleged
"strong, dignifed letter." than to the
sermon on the mount.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1900-08-22
W. TERRL DRUGGIST
over his friendship for the farmers

over his friendship for the farmers
What has Grout ever DONE for the
farmers? Even his part in securing
the sugar bounty, which was of slight
benefit to them, was of minor import
ance. And what else, except cleo,
which he has tried to 'do" thus far I'M
availinglyP" That is the long and
short of this record business. Nothing
whatever of any real Importance done,
and the oleomargarine bill, to which
Grout has somehow got his label at
tached, is hung up in the House. A
lame and impotent conclusion, indeed,
of sixteen years representation of the
Second District.

Points OF Difference,

In the news columns of the JOURNAL
is published list of appointments the
State committee has arranged for the
pending campaign in Vermont. 1t
will be observed that w. p. Dillingham;,
who has been speaking for the national
Republican cause in different parts of
the State for some time past, is sched-
uled for speeches in the future at va
rious points. Candidate Prouty is
down for two appointments in Rutland
county. Candidate Grout is conspcu-
GUS in the list by his absence, as also is
Candidate Ross. Apparently Candi-
date Grout is too busy conducting his
oleo literary bureau to devote any time
to the interest of national republican
ism in the few remaining days for &C.
tive campaigning in Vermont.
Candidate Grout is very busy flood
ing the State with copies of his record"
in Congress and in distributing his
oleomargarine literature. A Sc page
pamphlet from the Caledonian office
sets forth the former and an accompa-
nying broadside made up of articles
from Grout papers, letters from w. H.
Parker and others, is devoted to the lat
ter. This combination has been sown
broadcast over the State.
These circumstances illustrate some
of the radical points of difference in the
the quality Of the two men, Dillingham;
and Grout. The latter, at a great out
lay of time and money, is deliberately
exploiting his "record" and proclaim
ing the value and magnitude of his
"services" to the country incidentally
and to the farmer in particular. The
former is where he has been in every
national campaign, from the beginning
to the close, for quarter Of century,
commencing while he was yet young
man barely past his majority, on the
stump putting in telling work for his
party and leaving his "record" to the
public. The course of Mr.. Dillingham;
COMFORTS with high manliness and with
the high dignity that should characterize
canvass for the high Office of Senator
OF the United States. General CIRCUITS
methods are those of selfish, an am
bilious and we regret to be compelled
to say, in view Of many of the develop
ments of the canvass, an INSCRIPTIONS
politician, who has determined that, by
hook or by crook. he will swipe this
high office of Senator, illumined by the
glory Edmunds and Morrill, and an il
lustrious line of predecessors have i'm
parted to it. General Grout is trailing
the senatorship of Vermont, with its
bright heritage of fame, in the dust of
very shameful campaign. His meth
DDS more become scramble for the
pettiest and meanest prize in the polti-
cal arena. The gods seem to have pre-
destined this man for destruction and
have first made him mad.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1900-08-22
ARTHUR RoPHs. General Editor
Respecting Oleomargarine Bills and
Laws The Question Of
Identity.

General Grout and his newspapers
are loudly claiming that the Parker bill
of 1884, and the so-called Grout bill
now pending in Congress, pertaining
to the sale and manufacture of oleo-
margarine, are identical in principle;
and, this being so, with the whine of
Uriah Heep they are inquiring, How
could Mr.. Dillingham; il elected to the
United States Senate having opposed
and voted against the Parker bill in
the Vermont egislature-work and
vote for the passage of the Grout bill
in that body? The broadside with which
General Grout is flooding the State
maintains also that "He Dillingham;
cannot without a change of heart, vote
for the Grout bill, which, like the Park
er bill in 1884, proposes tax on oleo-
margarine"
The voters are left, by the Grout Pc
pers, to the bare and unsupported state
ment that the Parker bill and the Grout
bill are identical. They do not print
the bills, and in view of the disregard
of truth and fact they habitually prac-
tice they are asking a great deal of the
public to believe the things they are
declaring in respect of these bills-or
anything else. The JOURNAL supplies
the deficiency in the public informa-
ton on this question by printing, side
by side, the full text of the two bills in
question, and supplements the exhibit
with the sections of the United States
law of 1886 that are of interest in this
connection, ALSO the remarks of Mr.. Park
er maintaining that his bill"contained no
provisions that the law passed by Con-
gress in 1886 did not contain" and
with these the Vermont law of 1884,
the whole constituting symposium on
