The Congressional Situation

As the canvass for member of Con-
gress in this district progresses, it
becomes more and more apparent
that Mr.. Fish has an exceedingly
strong following in his own county,
Addison, and that unless something
interviews to change the situation,
he will have practically the solid
strength of Rutland County.
There is a rumor that Hon. o. NJ.
Barber may decide to shy his Con-
gressional caster into the ring in
which case he will unquestionably
have a solid delegation from Ben
nington County.
Should Barber decide to enter the
race, and should Fish have the 60
votes OF his own county and the 81
votes OF Rutland County, he would
unquestionably lead on the first bal
lot, but he would still lack 24 votes
OF a majority. XXX
Conceding for the sake of an argu-
ment that Foster will capture the
entire 60 votes of Chittenden, the SO
of Franklin and the II of Grand Isle
on the first ballot, the standing
would probably be:

The retirement of Congressman
Foster from the Senatorial race is
now conceded to leave a clear field
for Governor Page, We gave last
week the Free Press editorial on this
point and this week we give the
views of the Burlington News, Bur-
lington Clipper and Bellows Falls
Times, papers which up to the time
of Mr.. Fosters withdrawal were his
supporters. The Brattleboro Phoenix,
which has heretofore been non-com-
initial, last week summed up the
situation by saying Carroll S.
Pages ambition to be United States
Senator will be grati6ed and appar-
entity he will enter his seat through a
primrose path without a cloud
above him." 1t is a somewhat re-
markable fact that of the entire state

the state as well as the man upon this
