A Chanee q a. PennIe.

The contention Of the Free Press is
that Gen. McCullOue besides having
married "a char. no Vermont
woman IS identified with Vermont
Interests, has wide acquaintance
with the people of the state. lives
without ostentation or exclusiveness.
and, to quote the conclusion OF the
Free Press in its own words. is "all
right. We concede all this. We
meant to concede il in what we said
of Gen. Mccullough last week. The
trouble with the position of the Free
Press IS that, as the existing situation
mas been forced on the people of the
state, through no wish or act of their
own, TWO New York milliOnaires are
putting up a fight to see which shall
capture the Vermont governorship.
Ana the indications are, the more is
the pity, that by far the greater part
OF the newspapers have been ..com-
United IN advance to one candidate
or the other. The plain people, of
which Abraham lincoln used to like
TO speak, don't enjoy this. 1t goes
against the grain OF the sturdy Yer
mont independence and selfreliance.
and that is why they say amen to the
call TO cut loose from both self-nomi-
mated candidates, take a man of our
own, and nominate him and elect him
mat Is just what we mean to do.

The assurances that we continue TO

of such a character that the appearance

the situation so far as the candidacy OF
Gen. Mccullough is concerned. Upon
the people devolves the duty OF select

Col. Webbs' withdrawal came Mon
day through the managers of his cam
paign. and was announced in the even
ing papers of that day.
So that the contest is left to two
men, Proctor and Mccullough. Both
are personally clean and able. Either
would make a good executive, doubt
less. But between them, as represent
inc the vermont idea !" as the man
best fitted by natural capacity; by
legislative experience and by
training; by temperament; by physi-
cal vigor; by personal contact with,
and knowledge of, our people; by

of our readers, as well as the Republic
cans of the State, will endorse our
choice.

POUNDING THE AIR.

A few over-zealous Mccullough news
papers are setting up man of straw
and then working themselves into q
rage while they proceed to demolish it.
For instance, the Montpelier Journal
says
1.-The general ground taken seems to
be that the man who is chosen for the
Office of governor of the state shall be
born i'm Vermont This is fundamen-
tai. Conditions of secondary import
ance are that the aspirant OF candidate
for the office of chief executive shall
not be millionaire or railroad man.
shall never have been in the city OF
New York and shall have no dealings
with the Gentiles beyond the states
borders. In other words the govern
ment of the state is sort of mon
archy; Vermonters constitute the
royal line and the purple shall descend
only to SONS of Vermont to the man
ner born
And Bro. Ropes doesn't leave a yes
tige Of this figure of his imagination
when he is done with it.
Nobody insists that the governor OF
Vermont shall be native-born; or
shall not be a millionaire, or railroad
man; or shall never have been in New
York city or shall have no dealings
with outsiders. There is no danger of
a monarchy, with the purple restricted
to sons of Vermont to the manner
born. The Journal has so exaggerated
and distorted the actual basis of op-
position to such candidates. as those
of Dr. Webb and Gen. Mccullough as
to have passed quite into the realm of
fiction
A majority of the governors of Yer
mont, from the beginning until now,
have been men born outside the state.
This point never has been raised
against a candidate; never will be.
The place of birth is mere accident,
and is recognized as such. No parti-
san or newspaper has introduced the
matter of birth until the Journal
dreamed it out. There is nothing to
it. Several of our past governors have

How IL Looks Outside.

There is to be apparently a test il
Vermont this year as TO how far hel
people are to have the control of the
state government The attempt, it i.
thought, will be made to install New
York millionaire in its governorship.
The appeal comes to the Republican
party almost exclusively. The Demo
Gratis have so small a vote in its cleo
tons that they hardly amount to a
factor in the political contests there.
But Vermont Republicans, who have
been represented IN earlier DAYS bv
such men as Collamer, Marsh, Morrill,
and Edmunds, should protect their
commonwealth from being the appen-
age to New York that is threatened.
and especially from its governorship
being the prize OF money. Rhode Is
land has one United States senator
from New York who bought himself
into his office, but this big state has
not invaded Connecticut, and it has
let the other New England states up
on its borders alone thus far. The
Republican party has charge of the
Vermont fort and it should be trusted
to hold it against this threatened in

A pemocratIe View.

Col. Proctor ought to be warmly
welcomed by our harassed Republican
friends who have been doing very little
lately except circulate columns OF
apology for the launching of two cap
italistic candidates, who, aside from
some railroad interests, have no Yer
mont ties, in one campaign We have
been told what good and true citizens
they were, and the number of months,
weeks, days, hours and minutes they
have spent on Vermont soil has been
figured out in painful detail. But here
comes Col. Proctor to relieve the situa-
ton and give them something else to
talk about. The stuff was getting
tiresome, and notably in one or two
Windsor county towns there We're
signs of revolt and OF strong irrita-
ton particularly at the mention of
Webb's name Woodstock Age.

TON.

Fletcher d. Proctor is n candidate
Tor the Republican gubernatorial NOM
nation; DR.. w Seward Webb has
withdrawn Gen. J. G. Mccullough will
stay in the field.
There has been considerable doing
in Vermont politics the past week
First came the announcement of Speak
err Proctor's candidacy, in a despatch
as follows
1T is stated by friends of the Hon.
| Fletcher ID. Proctor speaker of the
Vermont House OF Representative
that strong pressure is being brought
10 bear upon him to allow the use of
his name as a candidate for the gov
ernorship. They say there is a pro-
nounced demand from different parts
of the state for a candidate, who is
thoroughly identified with the interests
of Vermont and in touch with the spir-
it of her people; and many urge that
it would relieve an embarrassing situa-
ton, which has already resulted in
considerable bitterness of feeling in the
canvass, il a third candidate were to
be announced upon whom all could
unite, His friends emphatically ex-
press the confident belief that he will
yield to the strong pressure that is be
ing e1erted upon him, and ii can be ac-
cepted as certain that he will be a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for the governorship at the next state
convention
This was later absolutely confirmed.
and Mr.. Proctor is conceded to be a
candidate, with most favorable pros
poets Of success. Concerning the mat
ter, f. R. Morse, a close friend Of Mr..
Proctor, who will have the manage
ment Of his canvass, said in an inter-
view -
"Mr Proctor was aware that the an
nouncement would be made. and il
was done with his consent. OF course
much pressure was brought to bear on
Mr.. Proctor before he was willing to
become candidate. This influence
has been working stronger than ever
the past week or ten days. Many, who
months ago advised Mr.. Proctor to re-
main out of the contest this year, have.
within the past few days, been urging
him to enter the contest This intlu-
ence is what caused Mr. Proctor to an
nounce himself at this time.
Mr.. Proctor has made no trade and
will make no trade, but will fight the
matter out on his merits. We know
nothing about what the other candi- |
dates may desire in the exchange line
with Mr. Proctor, but we are not ask
ing then to come to US"
Following the Proctor announce
ment-and doubtless because of it,
came conference of Mccullough lead |
ers at the Van Ness House, Burlington.

DISCLOSURE IN LIQUOR CASES.

One William Cilley has reposed in
county Jail at Burlington since last
Fourth OF July for refusing to disclose
where he got the material for his pat
riotic iubilation. He declares he will
never disclose, for it would be going
back on a friend. So he continues to
be maintained at the expense OF the
state. He has already served a longer
term Of Imprisonment than some of our
latter-day bank embezzlers, and his
only crime is technical contempt of
court. There is law enough to keep
him prisoner for life, unless he dis
closes.
This disclosure feature is one of the
many striking peculiarities of prohibit
ton, and probably leads to more lying
and perjury than any other device I'M
der the statute. A man is arrested for
intoxication. He pleads, or is found,
guilty.. His fine is fixed, and he pays
it. 1t would seem that he had squared
accounts with the state for his of
fence. But no; there is something fur
Their He must tell where he got it,
lie must pat up a story bearing enough
OF the earmarks Of truth to satisfy the
court, before he is released from custo-
dy He is guilty of no crime himself, in
the eye of the law-for it is perfectly
lawful to buy liquor in Yer
mont, though not to sell it.
He is detained as witness in the
prosecution of crime. and until he is
ready to make oath to the facts attend
ing the commission of the crime by the
party who furnished him the liquor, he
is held in contempt, as any other wit

State Auditor Barber Is acting with
consummate zeal the part OF John
Alden in the courtship of popular IA
vor for his chief, Gen. Mccullough.
Considering lIr. BARRIERS admitted fit

Gen Grout contributes long com

describing and defending the part he
took when the oleomargarine bill was

before its passage in the House, and
that had his advice been followed it

All of those who have been consld-
cred this year are possessors OF great
wealth, as wealth goes ia Vermont. II
not a qualification, this has never been
considered handicap in Vermont, as
the records show. And as to dealings
with the Gentiles, the Vermont Marble
Co. does little something in that line.
The Journal, either earelessly or
wilfully, misrepresents its opponents
entirely. The position of those who
were not satisfied with the Webb and
Mccullough candidates. was and is
based on worthy sentiment and sound
reason. 1t is not the narrow, bigoted
prejudice that the journal and others
would make of it, Regardless ofplace
of birth; of the possession of wealth /;
of railroad or other interests; Of out
side business relations; it is purely
this That the man best qualified in
all respects should be governor And
among the chief qualifications is
thorough knowledge of the state and
its people, their needs and their capac-
tiles, such as can only be obtained by
long, continuous and permanent res
idence within the state It was the
prevalent belief, founded, we bell eve,
on full understanding OF the facts,
that the residence of Messrs. Webb
and Mccullough was not and is not OF
this nature, coupled with the equally
strong belief that at least one Of them
would never have been considered for
the office but for the possession of
wealth that came to him in way not
indicative of inherent self-capacity; it
was these beliefs that prompted the
rejection Of both men and the demand
for one whom the people know as
real Yermonter,"
There was, doubtless, dash OF sem
timent, also feeling that our highest
office was being pursued for personal
qualification by men who would never
have tried for it in a larger and more
pretentious field. Our sturdy citizens,
who have to battle with the cold and
SHOWS of winter, prefer an all-the-year-
around resident to one who simply
comes to bask in our summer sun
shine when il comes to oftice-holding.
They cannot see wherein Messrs.
Webb and Mccullough greatly differ
from other wealthy men who are mere
summer sojourners, fleeing to softer
cline and taking their families with 4
them at the first blast OF winter And /
if they differ at all by reason of larger
pecuniary interests, or other ties, or
the mere figment OF legal residence,
our people question il these extras
have not in a considerable measure
been added in the hope of attracting
to themselves as eligibles tor
