Fair PLAY for Gen. Mccullouah.

The people of Vermont are noted
for their love of fair play, and this
sentiment is certain to play promi-
nent part in the governorship con-
test. When DR.. Webb retired after a
vigorous canvass that showed his
possession of marked strength, the
prize according to all recognized rules
of political warfare belonged to Gen
eral Mccullough. Mr.. Proctor's en-
trance upon the field brought into
| existarce an entirely new set Of con-
ditions, but the friends of General
Mccullough were not dismayed.
They continued their vigorous fight
and it was generally conceded that
the sentiment as reflected in the great
! majority of large towns became
stronger than ever in favor of the
Bennington county candidate. Then
a third candidate for the governor
ship entered the field against General
Mccullough. If the Bennington can
didate secures the nomination, he
will have overcome three different
rivals in succession.
The people of Vermont have a
fighter, and the manner in which
General Mccullough has continued
his campaign-in spite of the sudden
shifting of the scenes and appearance
and disappearance of rival candidates
has gained for him new admirers and
strengthened his hold upon the popu-
lar sympathy. 1t is now generally
recognized that Gen. Mccullough
occupies a front rank in the list of
Vermont campaigners and that in
resourcefulness and political general
ship he has few peers.
1t is now generally realized that the
governorship should have gone to
General Mccullough this year with
out a suggestion of opposition, and
there are men who are supporting or
have supported all three of his rivals
who will admit this to be the truth.
General Mccullough is conceded to
be man who would adorn the high
office of governor and bring to the
position an unusual order of execu-
tive ability. Not single valid argu-
ment has been urged against his nom
ination, and as matter of fact
there is none to urge except some one
else wants the office. Both of his
rivals are young men who can well
afford to wait, particularly until
their own county of Rutland decides
which of its sons it desires to present
to the voters Of the State as it's cam
didate. Every consideration of jus
tice and fair play calls for the nomi-.
nation at this time for governor of
General John G. Mccullough of Ben
nington, county which has not had
a governor for decades Burlington

The johnson Caucus.

We had the exquisite pleasure of attending
the Johnson cancus last Friday evening, and
was much pleased with the result, which was
81 majority in favor of the Bennington Boy.
Prof Ranger was elected chairman without a
dissenting vote which insured system and
dispatch. Fred Bicknell acted as scribe, and
consequently there was correctness in figures.
Henry Mudgett was appointed by the chair
to see that G FL. Sargent and Geo. Odds did
not vote more than siv times each on the LIST
ballot. Everything being in readiness Hon.
R. G. Cristy, in few appropriate remarks,
nominated G, FL. Stearns, o. FL. Wilson, "a.
W. Stevens and Philo Davis as delegates to
the state convention in the interest of Gen.
Mccullough for Governor. N. A. Waterman
did himself credit in presenting the name OF a
gentleman by the name of Proctor, who re-
sides in Rutland county, man who is quite
well known 10 this end of the state. 1t was
one of the best, we'll behaved gatherings we
ever attended. &C As goes Johnson so goes
the State'-as rule. In the case of Sargent
and Odds they took exceptions to Mudgett's
challenge and appealed to the board of decis-
ION, which the chair was thoughtful enough to
appoint for such emergencies. After stating
their case, they were remanded back to the
ballot box and deposited their votes. Mr..
Sargent was born in Johnson nearly rs years
ago and has been an inhabitant of said town
nearly all the time SINCE Mr.. Odds nearly the
same. or course their color and habits we're
a little against them, Mr. Doane, Mr.. Will

The Authorship.

By the way, what was it that
the Fish Commissioner said at term
of the County Court not long time
ago? If the reports at the time
were correct, the statements were so
derogatory to the Court, the States
Attorney and the whole Windsor
County Bar, with a big, big D, that
the candidate ought not to be SAN
guine of any rally to his support in
this county. Ifthereis to be an issue
between the present candidates for
Auditor, there is very small doubt
where three southern counties of the
state will stand in the convention.
And Mr.. Graham as we understand,
has very strong support in other
counties, and isprobably quite in the

The above is from the Woodstock
Standard, and contains the least
argument for one Horace, or against
the other, of anything yet foisted on
the public, and is we believe without
any foundation. al
As Fish and Game Commissioner,
Mr. Bailey went directly about his
business and as we remember it cs1n
into snags in many county COURTS
but not q. single time lodged the
issue. These insinuations of the
Standard won't count in this fight,
for the fish commissioner has some
thing of a reputation for courtesy
and right dealing, as well as frmness,
qualities which count in Bailey's
favor.

A Good Word for Martin shattuck.
The following letter from a resi-
dent of Eden sets forth the claims of
that town for the Senatorship, as
well as the reason why Martin Shat

able consideration of the coming Re-
publican County Convention
Mr.. EDITOR =
In your last issue of the News AND
CITIZEN we notice the way you have
summed up this important contest. Now
we, as the people of Eden, have a claim
that cannot be overlooked at this time.
The town of Eden has never had a
County Senator, therefore Waterville's
argument of fifty or sixty years will not
stand nor can Mr.. Smith of Norris
vile rightfully aspire for such honors
yet. He is young and should wait.
Now for candidate in Mr.. Shattuck
we have a man who, with his followers,
has supported every successful candi-
date for Senator in this county for
years, and, consequently, would be justi-
fed in asking their support now that
his time has come, to solicit such an
honor. AS man, Martin Shattuck is
respected by all who know him, and
has never been trying for honors when
some other man had a better right.
But now by the earnest request of his
friends MIR. Shattuck is a candidate for
Senator from Lamoi11e County, and we
urge the people of this county to con-
GiHar fret thot EHat1 hoe haH a
Senator, and second, that Mr.. Shattuck
is an honorable and competent man to
support. aa,- AN EDEN VOTER.

that 5O,5O5 lives have been lost SO
far this year by elemental distur-
Dances, volcanic eruptions accounting
for As, 450, storms for 7O4, tornadoes
for 416, cyclones for 900, floods for
333, avalanches for 228, tidal waves
for 1O3, snowslides for thirty nine
and water spouts for twelve. There
is no way of proving the accuracy or
inaccuracy of these figures, but prob
ably they are within the truth. Even
if not alsinglel life more should be lost
from any of these causes during the
