the long line of ilustrious patriots who
have been it's leaders in its glorious
achievements during the last a. years,

creating and sustaining it. 1t is toward

have looked every four years lin our
September elcctions) to give the first
note of APPROVAL to the national republic
can platform. ! am proud Of the answer
Vermont has always returned to the re-
publcanS Of the nation, but whlle we
have been doing that we have M elected
our own affairs ard have allowed a gang
of political shystors and grafters to rob
tho State treasury, and no ono has been
able to stop them, although we nave
sometimes had good men in Office VINO
have made valiant efforts to DO so Inc
trouble has never been brought to the
attention of the people, and We have
been indifferent and perhaps negligent.
You can assign any cause YOU nave a
mind to-the result is there and cannot
be disputed
