MecuIIouah In the senate.

What did he do at Montpelier at
that memorable session OF 1882 Well,
in the first place he made an anti-im-
perialistic speech which his colleagues
in the Senate virtually repudiated IN
a series Of resolutions declaring II ID
be the will Of the people OF Vermont
that the Philippines be retained.
Alter that 2 He never introduced a
solitary bill, resolution, or petition OF
any kind or description whatever that
found mention in the official record.
Now, to be sure, merely introducing
bills is not the sine qua non OF states
manship. The greatest statesman
introduces the fewest bills, as a gener-
al thing But all statesmen introduce
some bills, and II Is because they have
original ideas Of statecratt that they
originate bills TO introduce. More
over, when the people of a county
have an opportunity only once in two
years to secure the passage OF measures
of legislation in their interest, there is
sure 10 be an abundance OF bills ready
to hand for the county senators 90
present. One might think that with
such a statesman as General McCul-
Tough representing them in the senate,
the law-seeking people of Bennington
county would be only too eager to
invoke the prestige and influence for
their pet measures that would follow
his introduction of them. Who did
introduce these bills, then Senator
Robert /. Batchelder, of Peru. He
is the man who represented Benning-
ton county on the floor of the senate of
1SyS. The official records show il.
One cannot read the daily journals of
the sessions OF the senate without
noticing the conspicuous omission
of any record of any activity
on the part OF General Nc
Cullough, while all the olher sena-
tors are shown TO be working hard
day by day TO transact the peoples
business. II is worth ones while TO
read the record carefully and 10 notice
that whenever the liquor question was
brought to vote and the yeas and
nays were called for. Senator John G..
McGullough's name is missing from
the roll.
What then is the record of this
statesman in the only elective Office
he ever held introduced no bills and
straddled the liquor question l-rSt.

well served in this important office
As only one OF them can succeed and
a choice is necessary, we make ours in
the person of Hon. Zed S. Stanton of
Roxbury. We have known Mr.. Stan

it is common for him to assign some
such reason, but nobody is deceived
thereby. Candidates withdraw for
one reason, and for one reason only,
and that is because they are satisfied
they cannot win. Mccullough knew
this in 9s, or he wouldn't have pulled

Will dpPAg' wv
excellent good sense and sound
logic contained therein we re-
produce the following from the
Lake Worth News with the eX-
pressed hope that it may do
good.
1T is remarkable how the hu-
man kind can be influenced by
the words which fall from each
Others lips. Many an impress
sionable man is, led hither and
thither by the tongue OF per-
suasive takers. Hence it be-
hooves us to often speak guard
edlv, keeping in mind the old
adage of thinking twice before
speaking once.
Some men are prone, at
times, to decry their town gen.
erally-its officials, its prospect
and its people.
This is done, not from any
Interior design to injure the
place, but from some disappoint-
ment in local affairs, or from
some failure to gain political
preferment, or from other minor
reasons. Little as these utter
ances may be thought of by the
takers, yet they frequently find
Judgment in some plastic minds;
the effects of which are seen to
the great detriment of a whole
community. Many an emory
otto project for a towns success
has been chilled to death by
thoughtless words rejecting up
on the community's credit, or
its people-and, alas! uttered by
its own citizens.
EVERY man should weigh we'll
his words on home matters, and
especially well consider the
speech that falls upon the
strangers ear. 1t is sad COM
mentary on the steadfastness OF
human nature when We find so
many persons susceptible of be.
ing. lamb.like, led into paths of
gloom by the rafting tongues
of impressive takers.
"if all the people of a town
should take to speaking i'll OF
its prospects, we really believe
Il stage of decay would ensne.
On the other hand, let all the
residents. with one accord, al
ways extol and talk up the
place and the chances are that
prosperity will then reign su'
preme.
Every town, sad to say, has
its forebodiug citizens-men who
see Only the gathering storm
present prospects will 8 fade
away like a summers dream; re-
action will set in; desolation will
hover about our hearthstoues
and after that the deluge. Thes'
melancholy souls bode on ii
mouruful numbers til their lock-
turn grey, waiting for disasters
which, happily, seldom neve
come.
1.-The fortunate part of thi
matter is Nthat many of thes
prophets Iof despair are gifte,
with such plausible speech tina
it is well calculated to wave
the unwary.

TELFAIR COUNTY FOR ESTILL

Atlanta correspondence Augusta
Chronicle: Telfair county is now be-
ing claimed for Col. EstiH Many have
regarded that as sure Terrell county,
but this may be another evidence of
the squirt the Savannah man has made
recently. Editor A. L. Ryals of Nc
Rae says 1t will go that way. Col Es-
till has recently visited Telfair and
had the pleasure of meeting many of
the people. Col Estin has the knack.
in a quiet way. of getting close to the
people whom he meets, says Mr.. Ry-
ais. While Col. Estill has many warm
personal friend and supporters in that
county already, his visit there and the
cordially with which he. greeted
the people, gained for him many new
friends and supporters of his candida
cy. 1t is believed by the most con-
servative citizens that Telfair may be
safely counted in the Estil column.
While there is some warmth being in
jected in the latter end of the guber-
Material race, it cannot compare in its
intensity with that for state school
commissioner. DR.. Johnston, DIR.
Beck and DR.. Glenn are still on the
stump and they are making the air
oulphuIOuS. Cdnuludte MerflII Is IOl-
lowing the tactics of Col Estill and is
making still hunt. The race for pris-
on commissioner is being waged in
circular" fashion between Messrs.
Eason and Williams and the same may
be said of the race for commissioner
of agricultures, except that Col Ste
vens is doing the handshaking act in
great shape. In several counties there
seems to be more apathy over the cam
paign than was to be expected, but
there are only a few of these. The
most active interest is being manifest
ed in at least 100 counties and that
may account for Col. Estill's assurance
that Col. Terrell would do well to get
half of that number. The Greensboro
Herald Journal seems to think that
Col. Estill will put Greene in his col
umn when the state primary occurs,
for it says: Those people who are
leaving Col Estill out of their calcu-
lations in Greene county are likely to
find their representations at variance
with the facts. Col. Estill is favor
ably spoken of in every section of the
county, and is making friends every
day."
