In Fair and Dignified Way.
[st. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The Brattleboro Phoenix was the
first paper in the state to advocate
Proctor's nomination, but since the
Mccullough than any other paper in
the state. And the best part of it all
is that 1t is doing it in a fair and
dignifled way. Some of our contem-
poraries seem to think that the best
way to defeat their political opponent
is to abuse him and his party.

Go Forward to Victory for Mccul
Ioueh.
GVergennes Enterprise.l

lVergennes Enterprise.l
The battle cry is Mccullough and
Republican Safety" Don't let the
waverers be fooled by the libellous,
unproven attacks of the opposition.
Don't let them run away with the no.
tion that the platform means any
thing else but what it says. Don't let
them mistake the selfish ambition
and egotistic designs of Clement for
anything but what they area stub
born effort to further his own person
al and mercenary aims. A leader who
owns the most absolute, corrupt and
unscrupulous machine in politics, for
such is Clements Rutland city ma
chine, is no candidate to command
the suffrage of the honest voter. A
candidate who has purchased lying
affidavits and purchased them to the
hurt of an honorable opponent is no
leader for an honest Vermonter A
leader who thinly disguises Free
Rum" under a hypocritical local op-
tion campaign is not the sort of cit
izen Vermont can afford to make her
governor.
And so, trusting in the promises of
a party that has never broken a polit-
ical pledge, relying on the honor of a
man who has never betrayed a friend
or a sacred trust. let us go forward to
victory for General j. G. Mccullough
and the Republican party of Vermont,
one indivisible and supreme.

Mr.. Fits replied as follows:

To the Editor of the Phoenix:
Complying with your request that |
state in an open letter my position
on the chief questions to come before
the legislature, | beg to say that If
am elected representative from Brat
tleboro, l shall work as earnestly and
faithfully as l can for the passage of
high license-local option liquor law
to take effect when a majority of the
voters of the state shall have approved
of 1t, the election to vote upon it to
be held within a reasonable time. |
should favor and support the passage
of a measure patterned after the Mas
sachusetts law, with such modifica-
tions as the conditions in our state
would naturally call for.
The Republican party has pledged
itself to the passage of such a meas
ure. 1t can do no less than to fairly
and fully meet its promise with per-
formance. And It is certain that the
question cannot be settled to the pub
lie satisfaction in any other way than
by popular vote upon the adoption of
a high license-local option bill.
When the question is submitted to
the people, it is the right of every in
dividual to express by his ballot his
own views, whether for prohibition or
for license.
Should the election of state officers
be thrown into the legislature, should
first, last and all the time support
Gen. Mccullough and the whole Re-
publican state ticket, and should give
just as hearty and constant support to
Senator Dillingham; for reelection.
Very respectfully,
CLARKE G. Fits.

Gambling takes a queer turn in England. It is said that London un- derwriters had to pay from $4, 500, ,OOO to $5,00O,O00 on contracts guarantee ing that King Edward would be crown ed on the day appointed. He was not able to be crowned on that day. If the King had died in the meantime the underwriters would have had to pay about $21,OOO,OOO. Gambling in stocks and in horse racing is bad enough, but when it comes to gam bling on the life of King It seems as though the line should be drawn.

Missed the Train.

The New Jersey Trade Review of June 2d, ult., published a communica- ton from a Grocer" under the cap ton of Don't Be Behind Time" in which valuable hints were given by the writer. The other day bids for the new City Hall were opened, but were submitted. A third bid was brought to the meeting place of the Commissioners, but was not consid- cred. The Daily Advertiser asks: Why not?" Our contemporary an swers: Because the messenger who brought it from New York missed his train and arrived in this city some minutes after the official time fixed for the reception of bids had closed" Missed his train!" exclaims the Daily, and then adds:
 How many young men who do not seem to be able to "get along in the world" miss their train! They fail to grasp the importance of prompt ness in this busy world, and arrive too late, if they arrive at all. Young man, be prompt! It was not ex- plained in the newspapers why this messenger missed his train. In all probability, however, the fault was his own and not his employers. When firm has grown to such pro- portions that it can undertake a con- tract involving hundreds of thou sands of dollars, it has not done so by slipshod methods of business It has had to be prompt among other things, or it could never have Gar rived" Such firms need prompt men. By missing his train, this mes senger perhaps cost his employers a large and profitable contract, and a lot of time and pains in drawing up terms that could not be submitted be- cause the bearer thereof missed his train. The world is full of young men who don't succeed because they don't deserve to. They arrive late in the morning, leave early in the after noon, see how much extra time they can kill at their lunch hour, and stop to play game of billiards or to watch the sporting ticker when they are sent on errands. They not only miss their train," but they
 Miss opportunities
 Miss advancement
 Miss success.
