GVergennes Enterprise !

Reviewing the situation dispassion
ately, we must conclude that if the
Proctor boomers expected a sudden
slump in the Mccullough ranks last
week, they were doomed to disap.
pointment. We have seen very few
localities where the Mccullough forces
have lost strength and there are a
number of cases where the Webb
strength has gone over to Mccullough
solid.
The Rutland Herald says: "That
Landslide for Proctor in Chittenden
county which was anticipated by the
friends of the ruling house did not
Slide" a condition of things that is
certainly uneX pected, to say the least,
and which also prevails in Rutland
county.
Then the Wilmington Times, a
strong Webb paper. allows that "Col.
Proctor will be charged with the
fragrant violation of pledges and
characterized as q machine candi-
date" which will scarcely be paIat-
able to the Landslide managers. Wind
ham county further shows it's ingrati-
tude as follows: "Oh yes, this Proc
tor boom is spontaneous outburst
of enthusiasm on the part of "the
plain people," but like some other
kinds of enthusiasm, it needs a little
stimulating and it seems to ge getting
."-Bellows Falls Times.
Ofcourse Bennington county would
not be inclined to favor the Proctor
candidate, but the following from the
Banner is so apt and to the point
that it will bear reproduction
"Fletcher Proctor was never asked
by any supporter OF Gen. Mccullough
not to be a candidate. He was asked
by them and his own personal friends
if he was or would be a candidate. He
has stated emphatically that he was
not and would not be, and he allowed
the lines to be drawn with that un.
derstanding."
On top of all this, the Manchester
Journal, as noted elsewhere, has
turned from Webb to Mccullough
and gotten safely aboard the har-
mony-automobile in the van OF the
procession. On the whole, the surface
OF the landscape shows little perman-
ent disturbance.

1.-THE Landmark 1

1t is something new in Vermont's
political history when a few se!:-con-
stituted directors meet in secret con.
clave in New York's most aristocratic
hotel and decide that candidate for
the goVernorship shall withdraw his
name, and substitute enter the field.
Will the voters of the state submit to
such dict1t on and fall into line for
this rings candidated ? We believe
they will not. II Fletcher D. Proctor
was willing to strive for the prize why
did he not announce it at the opening
of the campaign and not wait for his
name to be sprung upon the public
under such circumstances ?

1t is not quite clear just VIII at the
projectors of the Proctor scheme did,
other than promise the doctor the
governorship four years from now,
which is said to have been done.
Whatever the promises made, it is
quite evident that the doctor has been
duped, and this is to be regretted, es-
pecially by those who were earnest
and honest in their tfforts to honor
Chittenden county by making one OF
it's residents governor. Much as the
Webb following feel the disappoint-
ment of he DOCTORS action they will
recover and at this writing the ma
iority of them are to be found staunch
and earnest supporters of Gen. Nc.
Cullough.

The Standard, under most condi-
tions, would be a warm supporter OF
Fletcher D. Proctor's candidacy for
the Office under consideration. Rut
here is Gen. Mccullough, a high-miud-
ed gentleman, of a good reputation
as wide as the country, man of un-
unusual mental abilities, a man OF
affairs, and of experience which quail
fies him to Fl i the Office as governor
with exceptional ability and credit.
Him the voters of Vermont came near
electing governor few years since,
and he is worthy of that distinction.
He is Vermonter. Thirty years ago
be married a charming Vermont girl,
and almost since the writer of this

monter. He has more than attained
his majority as Vermonter, and is
entitled to vote and hold office here.
His home interests are here, even
though he be railroad man, and a

lizard wick Gazette.

Two weeks ago DR.. Webb was a
leading candidate for Governor, hav-
ing fair chance to win the nomina-
ton.
To-day he is out of the way entirely
has laid his hand, quit. If he with
drew from motives OF keeping peace
in the party ranks or because he
wished to terminate contest that
promised to leave scars-he is entitled
to credit. If he withdrew as the out
come of political trade he has not
done himself, his friends nor his party
q service, but rather an injury.
While it does not, perhaps, matter
why be has taken the stand he has, it
looks very much like job politics, and
as though DR.. Webb has been befoOled
by the willy ones.
Scarcely was the ink dry on the an
nouncement that Fletcher ID. Proctor
would be a candidate for Governor
before the news was printed stating
that DR.. Webb was "Out of it," Both
these announcements came on the
heels of conference between Proctor,
Webb and other politicians. 1t looks
as though there we're an understand
ing between the two men; it smacks
of trade it has the appearance of
a scheme Matched by ring politicians
to fool the people and secure some
desired object.
The Gazette doesn't believe the
voters of Vermont Will stand for it
Fletcher D. Proctor has repeatedly,
verbally and by letter, stated that he
was not a candidate for Governor
this year; and many of bis personal
friends are placed in embarrassing
positions by his candidacy; his COM
ing into the race at this time is i'll
timed; there is no popular demand
for him.
On the other hand Gen. John g
Mccullough has for quarter of
century been prominent in Vermont.
His time, his talents, his money have
ever been at the service of his party
He has not thrust himself upon the
people, but rather has been too mod
est and retiring for his own interests
perhaps. He has ever been for pre-
serving harmony in the party ranks
and cheerfully stood aside rather
than have war in the ranks.
In public and private life Gen. Nc
Cullough has been generous, but IN
assuming.
The Gazette believes Gen. McCul
Tough has good and valid claims for
reward at the hands of the voters OF
Vermont, and the Gazette hopes and
believes the people will recognize these
claims by making him their nextgoV-

THE GOVERNOR QUESTION.
Opinions of the State Press Regarding
the Situation.
Mortified News

Fletcher D. Proctor is not a colonel and
never was Whatever sins of com mission m y
be urged against him in this canvass, he can
not be accused of having been a member Of
any Governors staff and he certainly never
held the rank in the organized militia.-St
Adams Messenger.
Mr.. Proctor was inspector of rife
practice in 1867, which we believe
made him a member of the Governors
staff. He was also the first perma-
nent Colonel of the Vermont division
Sons of Veterans. Mr.. Proctor there
fore has as good right to the title
as the large majority of men who
wear it so gracefully or otherwise in
this state. "Go read the history OF

with such quick and sure endorce-
mentas did its recent editorial on the
governorship favoring Fletcher d.
Proctor. Wedon't blame the contem-
porary for claiming all that is CON-
ing to it, but it gives the other pion-
GERS in the Proctor boom a chill to
have the laurels so ruthlessly snatch
ed from their endeavors. A whole
day before the Phoenix was printed
The Randolph Herald had launched
the Proctor boom, and The Windsor
Journal was out the day following
shouting the same sentiments. Two
or three other papers were close Sec
onds. OF course this unanimity was
only coincidence, but it was little
puzzling after all. 1t must have been
a case of great minds and the same
channel.
Then, too, the remarkable activity
of e. R. Morse of Proctor, and associ-
ated with the Vermont Marble Com
pany, during that same week was
only a coincidence. He was noticed
10 Newport, Windsor, Woodstock,
Wells River and other parts of the
state, looking wise and holding mys-
terious conferences. 1t is presumed
that he was explaining the beauties
of Rutland marble for monumental
purposes. Oh yes, this Proctor boom
is spontaneous outburst of enthus-
iasm on the part OF "the plain people,"
but like some other kinds of enthus-
iasm it needs title stimulent and it
seems to be getting it.
