All Ewes on Montpelier.

All eyes will be on Montpelier to-
morrow 1t is not verv often that
a gubernatorial contest appears to
be so unsettled at the opening of
convention as this is. There are
three candidates and at this time it
is difficult to say which, whether
Bell, Stanton or DeBoer, will be the
choice. AS far as instructed dele
gates go, it would seem that Bell
had the lead. He has shown great
strength in many places that were
considered doubtful. He has a
strong farmer support and is we'll
known throughout the State because
of his connection with the State
Board of Agriculture and the State
Grange. 1t cannot be denied, that
these facts are of great help to him.
Stanton has shown much strength
in the localities where he is known,
and he will receive a good vote. De
Boer personally has shown little
concern, the entire canvass being in
the hand of his friends. His appa-
rent indifference has been of benefit
to the other aspirants, who have
not hesitated to say they want the
nomination.
For Lieutenant Governor, Mr..
Stearns is very confident that he will
be a winner. He has assurances
from all parts of the state of a
strong support, and the most san
guine politicians concede his nomina-
ton.
The other three candidates, Messrs.
Fleetwood for Secretary of State,
Bacon for Treasurer and Graham for
Auditor, will have no concern about
their fate, as their re. nomination is a
foregone conclusion,

The National Party.

Because of the origin of,the Repub-
lican party and for some years there
after it made little Roadway in the
States where slavery existed, it was
styled a sectional party. One Of the
points that Democratic editors and
orators considered strongest in their
attacks upon the Republican organi-
cation, was their assertion that the
Republican party was a Northern or
ganization, which had no right to
exist in the South. But this kind of
attack has been generally abandoned
by the opposition. The fact is that
it was the slavery party that was
sectional or local, and the Republican
party was the real national organi-
zati6h.
This point was well brought out
by Speaker Cannon in his speech as
Permanent Chairman of the Chicago
Convention. He said that the Re-
publican party was born with the
declaration that slavery was section
al and that freedom was national.
The Republican party has ever been
national party, its policies benefit
ing every section and every man in
the Republic. The war, begun by the
shareholders, put an end to slavery,
and freedom became universal within
the boundaries of the Republic.
With bankrupt treasury, and a
bankrupt credit, the Republican par
ty under the lead of Lincoln, went
back to the policy of Washington
and enacted revenue laws imposing
duties upon imports that would pro.
duce revenue, and at the same time
protect every citizen of the United
States in diversifying the industries
of the Republic. 1t was a contest for
free men and free labor everywhere in
the land, and here again the Republi.
can party showed itself to be nation
al, as it has done with respect to al
its policies.
The Chairman showed clearly tina
the Democratic party has steadiI,
opposed all those great movement:
which, based upon the doctrine O
freedom in opportunity and protec
ton for the citizen, have brought tn,
country to its present magnificent
Ptoportions. He justly claimed sup
port for the Republican party because
it is the only party that is able to &c
ahead upon lines which assure to the
eeNntry growth and prosperity.

=" lust Before the Battle"

Next Saturday comes the Repub-
lican county convention. Indica-
tions are that it will be one of the
most interesting gatherings of Re
publicans of Lamoille in many year,
as there will be a contest over at
least three and possibly four of the
nominations to be made.
The first and perhaps most impor-
tant is that of Senator. CT. Smith,
F. H. Fullington and Martin Shat
tuck are the leading candidates.
For States Attorney the contests
to be a lively one, as Col. Sawyer,
F. G. Bicknell and A. H. Grimes are
all in the field. We have heretofore
enlarged upon the good qualities of
all of these men, and we believe the
"affairs of state" will be we'll looked
after by any one of them. Mr.. Grimes
enters as candidate at the solicita-
tion of Stowe, where he has recently
located. rsys se.s,.4.> 5.J,a. ..t ~
For Second Assistant Judge H. c.
Parker may have no opposition; yet
it must be conceded that Edenrhas a
strong man in N. B. Mower and
Cambridge in Linus Leavens. ; And
there are other towns that think it
is their turn for 'side judge.
For Sheriff both Geo. Towne and
Howard Stevens aretseekers for the
position. Towne was a strong can
didate four years ago and there are
those who think that the nomination
should now be his. Stevens, who
has served long as Deputy, thinks
this year he should be promoted. His
friends argue that Wolcott has had
the Shrievalty but once before and
that over forty years ago.
The contest between these two
men is a good natured one, and we
have no reason to believe other wise
concerning the aspira for the other
offices. Whatever the result all will
accept the decision of the convention
and do everything in their power to
bring about an old-time majority for.
the ticket in the October election
Although this is delegate conven-
ton there will be a large attendance
of lookers-on, as the entire party is
in what will be done.
Chairman Grimes will give a good
address and there will be other inter
esting speeches in the presentation of
Following so closely the
National and State conventions there
will be a whole lot of enthusiasm.
Don't get any hay down for that
day; leave that and all other bust
ness aside and take in what we can
assure all will be rafting good con-
vention and Lamoille's opening gun

The Democrats of Vermont have
put up ticket that is good from
top to bottom. All of the candi-
dates are exceptionally strong men
and would perform their official du-
ties very acceptably. But the fact
is, the Republican party always puts
up a ticket just little better, and as
the State is so thoroughly imbued
with the principles of Republicanism
the people of the Commonwealth are
content to let that party have con
troll of affairs of state.

The Democratic organs express
dissent from the Republican platform
even criticise it sharply. 1t would
have been a singular kind of Re-
publican platform if it had not been
dissented from and criticised by these
opponents of Democracy. Their dis
satisfaction and their structures are
proofs that the platform is the right
kind of Republican document.
