THE REASON WHY.

On what authority does c.. F. Ran
ney of Newport say, in the Barton
Monitor, writing of Gen. McOul-
lough's withdrawal from the Gov
ernor canvass of 1898: "Thinking that
E. G. Smith of st. Adams was likely
to receive the larger measure of sup
port he gracefully withdrew" etc 2
What ground has Mr.. Ranney for
making this statement? Any fact of
the canvass of 1882 Was there a sim
gle circumstance of the canvass, at
the time Gen. Mccullough wrote his
letter of withdrawal, April 4, that
justities Mr. Ranney's way of put
ting the matter? The reason Mr..
Ranney trumps up is entirely false, a
continuance of the beastly policy of
belittlement of Mccullough the Proc
tor people have been compelled to pur.
sue as their sole means of opposition
to their rival. Mr.. Ranney should
know better and be above such things.

THE canvass of 1898 was hardly
warm when Gen. Mccullough with,

| tween Col. Smith and Gen. McCul.
Tough was not matter of rational
forecast April A, 1898. The skirmisf
line was hardly formed. What right
has Mr.. Ranney TO give any other
reason for Mccullough withdrawal
than the reason Mccullough himsel,

heard them tell you to guide into more
cheerful channels the warlike spirit

know the horrors through which you
and companionship have passed.
The world has seen no grander
spectacle than the volunteer armies
of the North and South. OF such,
veterans, were you, your comrades. OF
such, indeed, were the foes you met
and subdued. OF such were those
whose graves you have this day strewn
with flowers. America is proud of
many things: of her uneXampled
growth, of her free institutions, of the
great names in her history; but in
the highest niche of her temple of
fame stands the statue of her citizen
volunteer. And when future states
men shall turn to history for the most
unselfish and enlightened devotion to
country, they will pause over the
deeds that were written by you, by
the strength of your right arm, in
the blood of your dead comrades, and
will esteem them the brightest in all
the annals of mans best efforts for

JOHN G.. MCCULLOUGH.
Temperate in all his habits and
faithful to all the obligations of life,
dlsdaining to 'stoOp to conquer, :"
General Mccullough has never been
one Of those of whom it has been said
Time shall unfold what plated cunning
hides;
Who cover faults al last them shame
derides."
No shame has come to him in this
canvass. The shame is all for his as
sailants. In 1898, having withdrawn
from the canvass, he did not on some
specious pretense re-enter the contest.
He has contributed by investments in
railways, banks and industrial enter
prises to the general welfare of the
State and particularly to the section in
which he resides. His money has been
paid directly to the wage Garner, at a
living wage, and the Garner has had
his money to eXpend in trade where
he will. Tradesmen have sprung up
in the wake of his enterprises and
the heavy hand of monopoly has never
been stretched out to crush them
He is splendid example of the Amer
lean citizen-wise, generous, demo-
cratic in his ways, distinguished in
his abilities and his career, independ-
ent of cliques or rings, and one who
bears without reproach the grand old
title of gentleman.

unseemly contest, such as appears
now to be probable. l do not think
that struggle of that sort, as it
might come to be conducted, would
be creditable TO the State or beneficial
to the Republican party more es-
pecially in the present year, when
the country is confronted by some of
the gravest and most perplexing prob
lens in its history, and when it is
most important that the party should
be strongly united in support of the
present administration and its meas
ures. To these it will be the priv
ilege of the Republicans of Vermont
to give their first emphatic approval
in the fall elections, thereby inspiring
other States to the full performance
of their duty, as the ringing voice
from the Vermont hills has so often
done in the past, when voters else
where have seemed to falter upon ma
tional issues of vital Importance to
the republic "
That was the reason of patriot,
the act of a man, in the presence of a
grave national crisis, of impending
war whose range and end no man
could foretell Pity that the despera-
tion of their canvass should compel
men to resort to such means of
which Mr.. Ranney's letter is full--to
stay the march Of McCullough's cause
now that he finds the country in a
condition to take up and press to a
conclusion the battle he unselfshly
and periodically renounced in 1898.
And the State rang with his praises
then.

THE VOTERS ARE ON TO THEM

As the hour of the State convention
comes nearer it becomes more and
more evident that the right thinking,
fair minded men of Vermont have
made up their minds that Hon. j. G..
Mccullough against whom not one
substantial argument has yet been set
forth, shall be Vermont's next Gov
ernor They seen more clearly each
day that the man who has stood un-
harmed before all the shafts of in
nuendo and the barbs of malice must
be man whose public life and pri-
vate character are beyond the reach of
any person to harm they recognize
III him man who would rather be
right than be Governor, a man who
has always been true to himself and
who can therefore be false to no one.
And seeing this they are rallying to
his support and will honor him and
the grand old Green Mountain State
by making him their next Chief Elk
ecutive. Politicians may shout them
selves black in the face, federal office
holders may work their hardest, petty
office seekers may spout and plead,
cajole, promise and dicker-the voters
are onto them all and are going to
have their way this year. -Hardwick

THAT NINETY AND NINE BLUFF

Fletcher Proctor could not carry
Brattleboro, Notwithstanding the boast
of the Phoenix that ninety out
of every hundred people in Windham
county" were clamoring for him to
enter the contest. The Proctors left
no stone unturned in their desperate
effort to elect Proctor delegates at the
caucus last Saturday night Congress
man Haskins came all the way from
Washington to put in his work and in
fluence for Proctor and an army of
workers were on the field in his be-
half. If ever a candidate tried to car
ry town Proctor tried to carry Brat
tleboro and his defeat must have been
humiliating in the extreme. Proctor
has lost Brattleboro and Rutland city
and large share of Rutland county. =
