Hon. Joseph A. Deboer, whose
name has been frequently mentioned
in connection with the Governorship
of Vermont, has written letter to
the Montpelier Waterman in which
he declines to be considered as q cam
didate for that honorable position.
He believes his private interests de-
mand his entire attention, and while
it would be an honor to be called to
fill the position of Governor, call
which should not be shirked by any
citizen should the occasion demand
his serving, he does not think the
times so demand this of HIM. The
letter, Notwithstanding its tenor,
makes him all the stronger with his
many friends, and there isno denying
the fact that they hope that in spite
of this declination, Mr., Deboer may
be called, If not next year, at some
near time to serve this state as its
executive-a position that he will fill
with great credit to both himselfand
the commonwealth. In this connec-
ton the Montpelier Argus as it
is, lays aside partisanship, and thus
speaks concerning Mr.. Deboer;
There will be general regret that
Hon. A. DeBoer declines to allow
his name to be considered in connec-
ton with the nomination for gov
ernOr of Vermont. Hetakes the very
reasonable ground that his private
interests require his full time, and
that while he might be willing to
sacrifice his private interests for the
public good there is no pressing oc-
casion for SO doing now. Yet we
doubt if there is not a strong pres
sure brought to bear, all the stronger
because of his plain statement, urg-
ing him to allow his friends to work
for him. Mr.. DeBoer has qualities
that prominently fit him for
leader of his party in the best sense
and that would make him a strong
and valuable chief executive,
