A new man has been thrust before
us as candidate for governor of Yer
mont. He is Fred l.. Davis, the sec.
rotary OF the state board of agricul-
ture and Windsor county man. Thus
in two ways he fills what has been
considered in some quarters a long
desired want. He fills the deep Wind
sor county void caused by the with
drawal OF Allen NJ. Fletcher of Cav
endish, from the gubernatorial run
ming; and he is of course. Granger.
Perhaps Mr.. Fletcher regrets ere this
that he betook himself out of the can
vass for the place, In view of the still
unsettled convictions OF the average
Vermonter regarding the Republican
nomination for the place. This men,
ton gives expression, it may be noted,
to certain wing of the malcontents
who are Of the opinion that Granger
could be elected over the present as
pirants, and his opinion will find a
considerable support in various parts
of the state, where Mr.. Davis work
on the board Of agriculture has been
put forth. The mention of his name
certainly detracts from the certainty
of the nomination.-Barre Times.
AS yet nobody has given any good
reason why Windsor county should
not present the name of Major Hugh
Henry of Chester as suggested in the
Banner a few days ago.
