party at large. which consists in seeking
pcrpotuation not by it's achievements but
by attempting to divide the Republican
party. Because there was II sharp contest
for the republican nomination for governor
in Vermont this year, the democrats in
that State are pattinE on the back the UNI
successful candidates with the hope of in
ducing disaffcction. The scheme will not
work The republican State convention
was representative. the views of the dele
gates were expressed without any gag law
or intimidation and the votes of all were
fairly counted. The nominee for governor.
Cen j. G. Mccullough, was openly and
representativcly the nominee of the CON
venton. AS such he deserves and will re-
ccive the united votes of republicans of the
State. including those candidates who UNI

the Republican party and not outside of it.
NO CHANCE FOR THE SUCCESS OF A
BOLT.
from the Swanton Courier)
If Mr.. Clement should consent to bolt
his chances of success would be very small
indeed. a member of the Republican par
ty is not going to disregard the nominal
tons made by the party when by support
ing them he can get all and more than he
could by boiling. The party has requested
the legislature to enact n high license local
ontion law; Gen. Mccullough has said that
If elected governor and such law is pass
ed by the legislature he will approve it.
What more could Mr. Clement do and
what inducement can be held out to re
publican to vote against the nominee Of
the party?

his decision until he can ascertain what
action the Democratic party will take in
regard to supporting him

said that hts purpose in entering the cam
paiCn was more to accomplish something
for thu cause Of high license than to be
nominated for governor. Now If he is a
republican and means what he has said
he must support the nominee of the con-
vention or 1t can truthfully be said that In
seeking support from the Democratic par
ty he is animated solely by desire to be
governor of the State, Mr.. Clement can
not consistently bolt and such action on
his part would be blow to the license
cause and should he repudiated by all men
who are believers in that cause.
