GENESIS OF A REMARKABLE
PlPE-DREAM.

In the smoker of one of the passen-
ger trains that pulled out of Benning-
ton last week reclined pallid-faced
young man whose features were
largely obscured by pair of specta-
Giles resting across his nose.
In his nerveless hand he held a pipe
filled with the latest choice brand,
known as "Barbers Superior Fine
cut" In his lap lay a copy of the
Bennington Retormer, fresh from the
press, with this item prominently
marked -
In. Hays of the Burlington suburban
newspaper syndicate was a visitor in
town yesterday.
The young man smiled ecstaticaily
He looked out of the car window as
the train sped by North Bennington
and Toasted his eyes on Gen. McCul-
lough's summer residence, from which
the careJaker was removing the storm
windows and brushing away the cob
webs.
Then he reached forth a pencil and
a writing pad. Borrowing a match of
the brakeman. he struck it and lighted
the contents of his pipe. As the
smoke curled upward and outward,
one after another of the occupants of
the smoker sat up in the seat and then
went forward to see what the train
had run over.
But the young man smoked on.
Soon he began to write, yet not he,
but the influence of his pipe, guided
his hand. He was as one in a dream.
And it was the vision he recorded-a
strange tale. such as only one whose
pipe was filled as his was could COM
nit to paper.
On sped the train. Rutland !"
shouted the brakeman through the
keyhole, but the young man with the
spectacles smoked on, and dreamed
on and wrote on. Only once did he
start, and that was when someone
from point of safety outside called
PROCTOR Then the sleeper gritted
his ROoseveltian teeth and wrote
faster than ever.
Two hours later, when the train
pulled into Burlington and the last

ember in the magic pipe had sunk into
ashes, the young man awoke with a
jump, gathered up his papers and
staggered into an electric car.
They rolled him out at the corner OF
Church and College streets and after
wearisome effort he crawled up the
two long flights TO the Free Press
sanctum and sank into chair. He
pointed to an inside pocket. Fran
tically, the editor-in-chief of that
mighty lever OF popular opinion I'M
buttoned the young mans coat and
drew forth bunch OF papers. He
hastily scanned them, while the young
man snored.
Beautiful !" he calculated. Jump
ing to the speaking tube, he yelled
down to the press room, "HellO! Stop
the press! Bust the stereotype and
put in this note that | am sending at
the top of the editorial column"
And while the sleeper slept, the
typewriter OF the Free Press editor
ratified off the following -
The papers of the Burlington sub
urban list, published by L. NJ. Hays,
will come out this week for Gen. John
G.. Mccullough for the governorship.
Down it went, as ordered, and the
throbbing world throbbed harder when
it read, and anXiously waited the NOR
row.
It waited not in vain. The dream of
the dreamer went broadcast over the
land. By Uncle SANS faithful mail
service, it landed safely in many a
postofiice from Canaan to Pownal, ere
the week ended. For one issue, at
least, the famed Syndicate sustained
its claim to the largest circulation in
Vermont.
And those who read wondered-not
at what they read, but at the length
and breadth and depth OF the match

But now all is clear. 1t was merely

The Boston Journal, which has
never forgiven Vermont Republicans
for spelling a solid New England for
Tom Reed in 1896, has a new griev-
ance. This time it is because Senators
Proctor and Dillingham; voted against
the ship subsidy bill, which received
the support of all the Republican SEN
ators except six, representing the
states of Iowa, Wisconsin and Yer
mont. The Journal devotes special
editorial to castigating Vermonts
senators for their party heresy. They
can stand it, The measure to which
they refused their support is not a
partisan one. The people have never
passed upon it, and the average voter
knows very little about it. Doubtless
it has merit, but in the opinion of
many well-informed men the bill as
it was presented to the Senate was
open to very serious objections. Being
satisfied that these objections were
well founded and that the measure
ought not to pass, Vermont's senators
did exactly right to cast their votes
against it, regardless Of how others
voted. Their constituents will back
them.

A Political Forecast.

As TO the new line-up-between Gen.
Mccullough and Mr. Proctor-the com
ing few weeks will reveal the outcome.
OF course, Rutland county will be
solid for Mr.. Proctor. Il will do what
it can TO compass his nomination.
From the present viewpoint, the Rut-
land county man will receive the bulk
of the Webb support, practically all the
support not hitherto enlisted for Gen.
Mccullough, and some OF the support
given to the Bennington man as
against his late Shelburne competitor
but which will prefer Mr. Proctor now
that he is candidate. II this is the
way the support will be divided the
chances of Mr. Proctor's success ought
to be as good as his friends could
wish Rutland News.

FIVE POINTS AGAINST PROCTOR.

From a somewhat extended reading
of those Vermont newspapers that have
espoused the cause of Gen. Mccullough
and assailed the candidacy of Fletcher
d. Proctor fer governor, we have been
able to CLEAN five objections only to the
latter. Briefly summarized, these are -
Mr.. Proctor had said he wouldn't be
a candidate.
Mr.. Proctor's candidacy was cooked
up
Mr.. Proctor profting by DR.. Webb's
withdrawal.
Mr.. Proctor is a young man and can
wait.
Mr.. Proctor's name is Proctor.
Let MS consider these five objections,
as briefly as possible.
1t is perfectly true that Fletcher d.
Proctor did say some months since that
he did not expect to be candidate for
the governorship this year. We do
not understand that he said more than
that. He certainly gave no pledge that
under no circumstances would he enter
the field. 1t was not his desire to force
himself upon the party as candidate.
At the time that he decided not to an-
nounce himself as an aspirant for the
office this year he was convinced that
he acted wisely. So far as he could
then Judge, the people were measur-
ably well satisfied to choose from be-
tween the other two men, then a long
time in the field Accordingly, he told
inquirers that itappeared best that he
should not become a candidate, in the
sense of announcing his own candi-
dacy. He has never said that he would
not accept the nomination, if tendered.
And as to the change OF mind on his
part that led to his allowing his candi-
dacy to be now announced, il came
about simply and solely as the result
of very changed conditions, that he
could not well disregard. For weeks
past he has been in receipt of letters
and personal solicitations from all
parts of the state, urging it upon him
as duty to stand. These came from
strangers, as well as friends. Many
leading workers for both Webb and |
besought him to come in.
The one story from every quarter was
that, aside from a comparatively few |
ones, the voters refused to /
enthuse for either of the candidates, I
and almost invariably expressed de-
sire to vote for ''some real Vermonter.
To have turned deaf ear to these en-
so general and sincere, Mr..
Proctor finally concluded would be un-
worthy conduct, and might give rise to
the suspicion that he had mortgaged
the political future, in preference to
doing his hidden duty now. So he has
allowed his candidacy to be ANNOUNCED
by his friends, without consciousness
IF having broken any specific pledges
hat anyone had right to exact from
him.
And speaking of pledges. very
condition of Vermont poll
lies is open to consideration. That is,
he custom of securing and making
pledges to support certain candidates
months, and even years, in advance of
he convention. When an aspirant for
office starts in, he solicits pledges
rom those who are called the work
srsr long time in advance. These
pledges are quite generally given
houghtlessly, and without considera-
ion as to what conditions may obtain

into these ideal realms they would
return TO the ward and workroom in

consumption, which she aid OF course
