THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
What the Newspapers Say OF the
c.ns;oaev of Hale X, Darling.

The Herald and News has placed the
name of Hale X. Darling OF Chelsea De-
fore the people as a candidate for attorney
general. Mr.. Darling is an able lawyer
and if chosen for that office would most
acceptably perform its duties.-Groton
Times.
Acknowledgement Fits has announced
that he will not be d candidate for re-elec-
ton and Just about as soon as the ink OF
the announcement was dry the Hon. hale
Darling of Chelsea received mention" a.
a successor. Rather quick work, but the
mentioned" measures up TO the place all
right and is likely to be the winner.
-Morrisville Messenger.
The early notice given by Attorney
General Clarke c. Fits that he would not
be a candidate for reelection has encour-
aged several other well-known gentlemen
to aspire to the high place which Mr..
Fits has filled so admirably. Among
these are Hale X. Darling of Chelsea ana
John G.. Sargent of Ludlow. Both are
brainy, capable men and neither OF them
will disgrace the office should he be for
tunate enough to be elected. 1t Is to be
noted. however. that both gentlemen are
from the east side of the state where Mr..
Fits also halls from. We are not insist
ent on the mountain rule, but at the same
time we are not in favor of the east side
filing all the places on the state ticket,
a tendency to do which the east-siders
seem to be encouraging Of late. The east
side i not more prolific in capable men
than the west side, but the westsiders are
80 modest and shy that they sometimes
get the little end when il comes to con-
Harrington Banner.
Clarke c. Fits, Vermont's attorney
general, announces that he will not De
candidate for reelection. The Randolph
Herald and News is the first mentioner Of
a candidate for the position and names
Hale r. Darling OF Chelsea. 4 good
mention, too.-I.yndonville Journal.
Clarke c. Fits OF BrattlebOro an
nounces that he will not be a candidate
for reelection as Encouragement Of the
state, and the Randolph Herald aud News
dominates Hale X. Darling of Chelsea.
Mr Darling has a creditable legislative
record. is one of the compilers of the new
Public Statutes and is an intelligent and
capable attOrney.-St. Johnsbury Gale
DOMAIN.
Hale X. Darling OF Chelsea has been
mentioned" a. fitting successor TO Mr..
Fits. the present efficient attorney-gener-
al. The suggestion is an admirable one,
as Mr.. Darling has all the qualifications
necessary for that, or any other state
Office. tor that matter.-Montpelier Ar
gus.
Elsewhere the journal publishes an ar
ticie from the Randolph Herald, which
brings forward the name OF Hale X. Oar
ling of Chelsea for the nomination OF at
torncy-general. Mr.. Darling has been in
Montpelier so much and his relations
s.l . - s.U q . 10
have been so general and cordial that con-
siderable interest and a large degree Of
good will 90 to him from this city and
from this county. The journal can add
but little to the exceedingly temperate
and well-considered endorsement Of the
Randolph contemporary, except to say
that a. a leader, legislator, jurist and
careful student and exponent Of the law,
Mr.. Darling has reputation that extends
far beyond the confines OF MS own coun-
~ and the mention of his name a. a can
didate fer encouragement viii undoubt-
eddy be received with almost universal IA
vor.-Montpelier Journal.
Acknowledgement Fits announces that
ne will not he a candidate for re-noI1ina-
ticn to the important office he now holds.
Mr.. Fits, while making good official,
evidently believes that there are others"
capable OF performing the duties Of the
office, and Is willing that they should
have chance at it. The name Of Hale
X. Darling Of Chelsea is mentioned for
the place. From every section Of the
state nothing but good CONES concerning
Mr.. Darling. and be i highly spoken Of
as a ''leader, legislator. ;urist and care
full student add exponent Of the law" all
qualifications that certainly fit him for
the place. Orange county has had but
few, il any, state offices for a decade. and
it IS eminently proper that her demand
for this office now should be Needed e.
pecially when she presents such worthy
candidate orrisyille News and Citizen.
The Brattleboro Phoenix is authority
for the statement that Hon. Clarke {.
Fits will not be a candidate for attorney
general to succeed himself. The Ran
dolph Herald comes promptly to the res
cue and suggests Hon. Hale X. Darling Of
Chelsea as a worthy candidate for Mr.
Fits successor. Both are good men.
