lamoilIe County Senator.

There are so many good men in
Lamoille county, who would be a
credit to the upper house of our state
legislature, that it is really too bad
we are entitled to but one represent
ative in that body. If we could have
two or three Senators, like some of
our more largely populated counties,
we could send men, all of whom
would be a credit to the state and
county. AS it is, we can send but
one, and therefore we are obliged to
select the best of the best, and that
is perhaps the reason why Lamoille
county always has such a strong
man in the Senate. This year, like
all previous years, finds us with an
abundance of good Senatorial timber
in nearly all the towns. There is
Clement F. Smith of Morristown,
one of the best farmers in the countv,
who is in the field this year. G. NJ
Powers has been spoken of, but we
understand he is not an aspirant.
Eden has in Martin Shattuck, a good
business man, and the same can be
said of Seth Fife of Wolcott; Cam
bridge has the well-known LAWYER,
W. H. Parker, and the popular farmer,
F. H. Fnllington Belvidere has the
active farmer, A. P. Brown, who has
twice represented his town in the
lower house, and as that town has
never had a Senator, the claim is all
the stronger. Waterville has the
hustling H. A. Jackson, live man in
every particular; ]. V. Stevens of the
same town is well fitted for the posi-
ton, but we understand doesn't
want it and isn't even "in the hands
of his friends"
There are others" in all of these
towns, but we think the selection
will be made from the above-al-
though it is just possible that the
convention may select another than
one of these. The columns of this
paper are open for the mention of
any good man and we shall be
pleased to publish any communica-
lions that may come to us on this
subject.

Candor In Politics.

Is it any wonder that the average
citizen is wont to make the inquiry
els there any such thing as candor
in politics ?" Our attention has been
directed to this thought by the two
leading Proc tor papers-the Brattle-
boro Phoenix and the St. Adams Mes
senger. The Phoenix, with a great
flourish oftrumpets and with a blank
ct electrotype covering broadside
of its last issue, returns for the ninety
and ninth time to the charge that
Gen. Mccullough is not Vermonter
and gives to it's readers picture of
the Generals winter residence in New
York. If the state as a whole has
been deluged with copies of the Phoe-
nix as has Lamoille county, a high
way of extraordinary width could
easily be papered across the state.
This being the only charge, if charge
it may be called, which is brought
against Mccullough, the papers sup
porting the General very naturally
answer it and expose its ridiculous
ness, and enlarge upon its demagog-
ism.
The Messenger thereupon holds up
it's hands in horror to think that
any aspirant for the Governorship of
Vermont should feel called upon to
prove that he is a Vermonter Why,
bless you, Brer. Greene, so long as
you give us nothing else to answer in
the shape of claims and charges
against Mccullough than this, what
else can be done but reply to these
charges, peanut politics" though
they be? But don't they raise the
question with which we commence
this article is there such a thing as
candor in politics ?"
The highest compli mcnt that has
been paid Gen. McCulloughis the fact
that nothing more substantial can
be said against him than the insin-
cere and pusillanimous charge that
he is not a VermOnter.
