Dodeine the Real Issue.
Randolph Herald

The leading objection Of many voters TO
Gen Mccullough as a candidate for the
governorship is that they do not consider
him a real Vermonter.
Recognizing the force and pertnence
Of an objection of this kind Cen Mo
Culloughs adherents have sought to
break it down by what cannot be char
acterized as anything short of wilfuI
instrumentation. Instead of meeting
the objection on the grounds that II
actually rests. viz. that Gen. Mccullough
is n summer resident. whose short and
transitory stays within the state have NOT
given him that knowledge of Vermont and
her people that a chief executive should
have nor a title to the Office that should
take precedence over that Of steady resi-
dence and long preliminary training: in
stead of arguing these points. the op-
position has flown over them entirely
and raised hue-and-cry over the idea
that only native Vermonters should be
governors. They assail this proposition
with all their heavy batteries. and when
they have planted their feet on IL they
screech triumphantly.
But they have gained a hollow victory.
for they haven't touched the Proctor
position at an. They have merely vast
er their efforts Nobody i'm Vermont
asks or desires that our governorships
and other offices shall be held by Yer
mont-born citizens only. Such a pro-
position Is RIDICULOUS, ana we doubt If IL
would find a single advocate In Vermont.
What is required is that those who would
be governors no matter where they were
born, shall at this time be actual bona
fide, no fooling residents and citizens of
Vermont.
Is there anything narrow" or pro
scriptive' about that demand? OF course
there isn't. and every Mccullough man
knows It. yet they go on preaching
against the native" idea as Though ii
really existed. Column after column has
been devoted to its denunciation. with
rarely a mention Of the true grounds Of
opposition to Mccullough Perhaps II is
hoped to throw dust in the eyes of the
voters by these tactics, and so blind them
to the real issue, but we do not believe II
will work.
Nobody objects to Mccullough because
he wasn't born in Vermont, so, men and
brethren, why not give up pretending that
this is the case. and devote your efforts
to showing that your man is now a real
Nermonter, in the full sense-if you can
do 1t?

Why Mccullough Should be Defeated.

There are two reasons why Mccullough
should be defeated as candidate for Gov
ernor of Vermont The first is, that his
business, which is very extensive. is not
in Vermont, but in New York He cannot
have an eye single to the prosperity of a
state outside of which his business in
terests and his individual prosperity de-
pend This condition is proof positive
that he cannot desire the position so
much for the good of Vermont as for his
own honor.
The second reason is even more cogent
He is candidate, not by call from the
people, but by a trade among politicians
He was a candidate two years ago. but
was persuaded to stand aside for Smith
with the understanding that his turn
should. come in two years. This has been
charged against him and not denied This
condition of affairs makes a machine of
the people, and should make them blush
The inference is that they are unable to
look after their own affairs and are under
guardianship of a few politicians who Sc
lect candidates for public office by trades
and by turns, and when selected ask the
people to come up to the polls in Septem-
Der and affX the big seal. The people owe
1t to their own intelligence and dignity
to stamp out this custom by defeating
any man who has secured a nomination
by trade with a few pretended owners
of the state or on the principle of my
turn" BY falling into line with the plans
and directions of these politicians. some
times called the ring" the people stul-
tify themselves, and admit that they are
only machines in the management of
their own affairs.

Animals That Get Even.

y number of authentic anecdotes have
been collected by lie Tour du Monde to
illustrate the fact that the sentiment of
revenge is very well developed in some
animals. Everybody knows that ele-
plants, for example. have long memories
when they are subject to treatment that
hurts their feelings. Capt Shippe of the
French army discovered this fact to his
sorrow six weeks after he had given an
elephant a sandwich sprinked with cay
enne pepper. The captain had almost
forgotten the incident when he next saw
the animal and attempted to caress him
but the elephant recognizing the prac-
teal joker. suddenly absorbed quantity
of dirty water from puddle near by and
diffused it over the officers uniform.
Griffith, the historian. tells a story of
two Indian elephants at the siege of
Burtpore. Water was scarce and in great
demand, which gave unusual value to
a well that had not dried up. One day
just as a small elephant and its driver
were leaving the well, the animal carry
ing pail of water very large and
strong elephant seized the pail and drank
the water The smaller elephant. con-
scious of his inferior strength, showed
no resentment but bided his time. one
day he saw his enemy standing broad
side by the well. The little fellow sud-
denly rushed forward with all the en-
ergy at his command, butted the big one
on the side and tumbled him over into
the well.
An Indian missionary tells of an indis-
Greet person whom he saw teasing an
elephant by pricking his trunk with a
pin and then feeding him with lettuce
salad which no elephant has any use
for. The animal was rather slow in
anger and he had not fully decided to
be mad till a half-hour had elapsed.
when he suddenly seized the mans hat
from his head. IT into ShrodS and
flung the fragments into the face of his
tormentor.
a British magazine told, while ago,
of milkman's dog that was the terror
of all smaller CANNES, as he was
fighter and never missed chance to mix
up in a row. Most of the dogs in the
neighborhood bore scars as evidence of
his ferocity and prowess. None of them
could match him in a fight. The idea
finally occurred to them. however, that
there is strength in union, and so one
night about a dozen of them went to
the home of the tormentor and thrashed
him within an inch of his life. The
milkman found next morning that his
dog was nearly dead from the wounds
inflicted. When he recovered from the
scrimmage he was a changed dog. hav-
ing wholly lost his taste for fighting.
Sir Andrew Smith. a zoologist. told
Darwin that one day he saw a tame
baboon in South Africa bespatter with
mud an officer, who, all spick and SPAN
was on his way to parade. The officer
had frequently teased the animal, which
took this effective means of revenge
Parrots also are among the animals that
do not soon forget persons who tease
or maltreat them. They usually find
some way to give some unpleasant mo-
ments to those who are unkind to them
