There was a Seward celebration at
Walton, n. Y, the other day and a
large number of people turned out
to celebrate the Tooth anniversary of
that notable American who wanted
so much to be president. There is
today another Seward who is credit
ed with an equally strong desire to
be governor of Vermont. Perhaps
our little state will be kinder to him
than was the great republic to the
Seward of other days.

May Turn Out a Funeral cortese.
[From the Barre Times.l

Evidence accumulates that Gen.
Grout is preparing to make another
desperate try for the senatorship next
year. 1t is also evident that Col. w.
Seward Webb is getting ready to dis
pute the governorship nomination
with Gen Mccullough and there is
more than a suspicion that the two
will endeavor to ride in the same
band wagon. Multi Millionaire Rail-
road Capitalist Webb and Millionaire
Copper Magnate Grout will be able
to furnish a rather sumptuous coach
to head the procession, even though
it seems likely to turn out a funeral
cortege at the end.
