The Governorshlp.

The developments Of the past week
have had but little bearing as indi-
eating the probable outcome Of the Repub-
lican state convention in the choice of
candidate for governor. OF the eau
cuses thus far held and definitely reported
in the papers Roxbury and Mortified del
egates are instructed for Stanton, Walden.
Ferrisburg. Hardwick and Springfield for
Bell. and Montpelier and Barre for De-
Boer Danville. Washington and Sheffield
are for Bell, but uninstructed. Bethel is
for stanton. uuinstructed.
The Brattleboro state delegation. as
elsewhere stated stands five for Bell and
four for DeBoer This fact can hardly be
taken as an indication Of public senti-
ment, for the reason that the only work
done for any candidate previous to the
caucus had been for Bell. and while a
ticket entirely for Bell had been named
there was no difficulty in securing a con-
| cession OF four DeBoer delegates, and
with further work the tide apparently
might have been turned one way as well
as another
1t is evident that the turn Of sentiment
in Rutland county against Clement is
very complete. Two years ago Brandon
was a Clement stronghold, but at the eau
Gus Tuesday night the Clement ticket
was beaten 1i7-143. delegates favorable
to Mead for lieutenant governor were
chosen. and Meade now has IS delegates
in all from his own county.
II the present status continues up to
the time the state convention is held the
three leading candidates will go into the
convention with fair field and no ia
vors," and there will be a mildly exciting
uncertainty as to who shall prove the win

The committee of inquiry concerning
temperance legislation. appointed by the
Vermont convention Of Congregational
churches, held in Burlington a year ago,
has recently published its report in pam
phlet of As pages. The report goes care
fully into the details of the yes and no
votes under the license law in 1903 and
1904 and into other matters of statistics
with an abstract or summary of individual
information gathered by impersonal can
vass in all parts of the state. No opinion
is stated by the committee, although the
impression gained from the report is that
there has been an increased number of
arrests for intoXcation and breach Of the
peace within the two years, for which the
license law is responsible. The general
impression is also gained that there is,
with some pronounced exceptions, general
disposition on the part of the temperance
people to concede to the license law
another two years of fair and impartial
trial.

Must BEGIN with the PeOpIe.

The Burlington Free Press. commenting
on our paragraph OF last week on the pos
sible abrogation Of the death penalty in
Vermont, says
1T might not be a bad idea in this con-
nection for the people of the different
towns to make sure that they are repre-
scented by men who have character enough
and sufficient stamina to enable them to
discern and appreciate the inconsruity
presented whcp the legislature. without
knowing anything Of the circumstances,
hears one side Of the case and proceeds to
revise the sentence imposed by the court.
II the coming legislature is made up of
men who are willing to cast their votes
in favor of thus revising the acts of our
judicial tribunals. il follows as n matter
Of course that they will not vote to lay
aside this power.
This reform must negin with tAa peo-
pie themselves, and the sooner represen-
tatives are made to understand by their
constituents that they must not interfere

Strange to say, but one member of the

how that fish became possessed of those
stones which contributed so much to its

Some OF the most accurate and expert
enced political Observers believe that the
object for which the Tammany men in
New York are now working is the defeat
of Parker's nomination and the stampede
of the Democratic national convention to
Mayor George T. Mcclellan There is
enough in this so that some of the ahlest
constitutional lawyers in New York are
seriously discussing the question whether
Mayor Mcclellan is eligible to the presi-
dency on account Of his having been born
when his parents We're abroad-the pro-
vision Of the constitution Of the United
states being that no person except a
natural born citizen shall be eligible to

r. |. Houqhton Candidate for the
Senate

The active candidacy Of Fred L. Hough-
ton Of Putney for the state senatorial
nomination from the ninth probate dis
trict has been "a local political development
of the past week. Mr. Houghton is an
avowed advocate Of the idea that high
license with local option having triumphed
In the state. the Offices state and local.
and the control OF affairs should be placed
in the hands Of high license men exclu-
sively. Mr.. Houghton and his supporters
further say that they believe the license
law to bc in danger OF attack and repeal
in the coming Legislature. and that. Mr.
Ware of Towushend being a prohibition
ist al heart they cannot, from their
standpoint, trust his promise to stand
by the new law for further trial. but de-
mand the election to the Senate OF an out
aud-out license man ike Mr. Houshton.
Without attempting to act as a par
tisan as between the two candidates, it
is right to say that We do not believe
there will be a serious attempt To repeal
the license law by the legislature of this
year. and furthermore. that we firmly be-
lieve that both Mr.. Ware and Mr. Pierce
can be trusted implicitly to stand by
their declaration that, If elected to the
Senate. they will favor the trial of the Ii
canse law for another two years. with only
such modification and strengthening as
experience has shown to be necessary.
