ernatorial nomination does not grow
more edifying as the canvass pro-
ceeds, and it's methods develop. In
deed, the whole truth may as well be
told. 1t is a sight which gives every
true Vermonter, who has no personal
ends to gain. a sense of humiliation
The contest is between two men,
neither of whom would ever be
thought of for governor of Vermont
were it not that he happens to pos
sess large wealth Both men own
summer places in Vermont but both
live in New York by far the greater
part of each year In behalf of Gen.
Mccullough it is to be said that he
has identified himself with the inter
ests of Vermont, and that he doubt
less feels himself a son of the state
by adoption. In and of himself, the
people consenting his canvass might

Republicans in Windham county
whom one might ask for an opinion on

Cullough is the man, as matter Of
course"-and ninety-nine will add
with emphasis, but | wish we had
some good Nermonter to vote for"
The report is current, and we believe
it to be true, that a similar feeling
prevails throughout the state so far
as the choice of a Vermonter for the
nomination is concerned. Can 4
sufficient reason be given why this
wish of the people and this feeling
of state pride should not be gratifed?
