Some Whispered Combinations.
SUNDAY Republican Correspondence

(Supday Repuolcan Correspondence
Although full year will elapse before
the biennial election of state officers, pol
iticians are unusually active, indicating
a coming campaign of more than usual
importance. 1t has been known for
some time past that Gen J G McCul.
Tough OF Bennington and DR. W Seward
Webb Of Shelburne are aspiring to be
governors Of their adopted state. 1t is
also known that Gen w w Grout is ma.
terializing plans to again be candidate
for senatorial toga against W T Dilling-
ham, who wishes to succeed himself. Ii
is whispered that Grout and Webb have
entered into an offensive and defensive
alliance which has for its object the adj
vancement Of their respective candi-
dates. Both are known to be very
rich men, and of course will use
every legitimate effort within their
power to secure elections. 1t is also
whispered that Speaker F ID Proctor,
son of the senator, will later decide that
this is the proper time for him to assert
his claims to the gGvernorship. Should
be do so, it would directly weaken the
Mccullough boon and consequently
make it possible to defeat bin.
