Or. Webb Writes a Letter.

Herewithis a letter from DR.. Webb,
given out Tuesday on his arrival at
Shelburne Farms from California.
We publish the letter with pleasure.
We think the Doctor has failed to
catch the temper of Vermont Repub-
leans. So far as we have observed,
no one has felt disposed to criticize
his attitude. Whatever has been said
has been in the nature of criticism
of the action Of certain gentlemen
who have assumed, without author
ity we presume, to speak for the
Doctor. He writes:-
To the Republicans of Vermont
On my return after six weeks absence,
find my action in withdrawing my
name as a candidate for Governor has
been maliciously and falsely misrepre-
scented, and the reasons and motives that
prompted my course misconstrued.
wish to state most emphatically that
that 1 alone am responsible for my with
drawal.
1 withdrew because I BECAME con-
WINGED there were many people of the
state, who believed (most unjustly, it
seemed to me) that my citizenship was
open to question and felt there was no
better evidence l could give these and
all others of their error than to show by
this | was too good Vermonter to force
myself upon them against this manifest
sentiment.
l also wish to say that all the stories
that have been spread broadcast over
the state by the organs of General Nc
Cullough as to any meetings of my
friends to in any way infringe upon the
rights of the people are absolutely false
also that or any one for me has directly
or indirectly entered into any trade or
agreement whatsoever respecting my
present or future political action is false
and without foundation, and has been
conceived and promulgated, in my
opinion, for the sole purpose of injuring
my name and the good standing of my
friends and associates.
l believe the people of the state will
treat the stories with the contempt they
deserve
I take this opportunity to thank my
friends who stood by me faithfully and
Loyalty in my canvass, and to say l APP
preCiate their kindness more deeply
than / can express in words. propose
to continue to demonstrate that l am a
Vermonter, and i'll so doing shall add,
so far as my abilities will permit, to the
prosperity and welfare of the state.

For Tiger

No use to hunt tigers with
bird-shot. 1t doesn't hurt the
tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t stealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges of SCOTS Emulsion
will stop the advance. The
disease feels that.
SCOTS Emulsion makes the
body strong to resist. 1t
soothes and toughens the lungs
and sustains the strength until
the disease wears itself out.

How strange! Here's a railway
president requiring his employees to
sign an iron-clad agreement not to
drink Intoxicating liquor of any kind
while in the employ of the road, the
the president himself being in favor
of letting the people ofthe State drink
according to their appetites. And
this railway president, who is a pro-
hibitionist after the most straitest
sect" in respect of his hired men, is a
candidate for the governorship of
the State on platform which would
open rumshops all along the line of
his road and score, more or less, at
the railways headquarters. In
practical business affairs heis strin-
gent prohibitionist; in politics, for a
system of regulating thel liquor traffic
that would permit, practically, the
free and unrestricted sale of liquors.

spect is better guide than his polit.

Gen. MCCuIIough's Onward Sweep.

No intelligent man can watch pop
ular comment upon the candidacy OF
General Mccullough for governor
without being impressed by the fact
that the tide of tin his favor
is constantly rising. His record has
been carefully searched by his oppo-
nents, but they have been unable to
discover a vulnerable point in his
public career. People who are in
clined to be fair have carefully weighed
the flood of argument advanced from
various points of view during the
past month or so, and it is evident
that a host of voters who had not
expressed a preference one way or
the other are favoring General Nc
Cullough for governor. They see
that General Mccullough has done
more for the State as whole as well
as for various communities than have
some of the prominent men who have
been writing letters trying to show
why he should not be shown the
same consideration they have re-
ceived. People like fair play, and
fair play in this governor contest
means the nomination of General
Mccullough by the next republican
State convention.-Fr Press.

The general sentiment in regard to
Mr.. Clements candidacy appears to
be that it is i'll Judged, that it will
not draw the license vote and will
have small effect on the canvass now
in progress. His position has been
held too long for his sincerity to be
questioned, but his antipathy to
Proctor raises some question as to
his present motives. Unless some
thing altogether unexpected develops,
Mr.. Clement candidacy is not likely
to have any important effect on this
years campaign. What it may do
for the future Of Mr.. Clement and
the anti-prohibition movement is a
different matter.-MontpeHer Argus.

The establishment by the late Cecil
Rhodes oftwo scholarships at Oxford
University for each of the present
States and Territories of the United
States, constitutes one of the noblest
legacies ever left to a people by a
citizen of another country, He was
generous to students ofGerman birth,
to be nominated by the Kaiser,
though by no means so generous,
since he endowed but five German
scholarships. The codicil in which
he explains his reasons for this great
bequest gives the keynote to the
nature of the man, who, with all his
faults, was one of the few master
minds of modern times =" For a
good understanding between Eng
land, Germany and the United States
