We invite our readers attention
to the address issued to the voters
by the Republican State Com
mittee. AS Vermont is the first re-
publican state to speak this year the
country will look with more than
usual interest to see If the republi-
can ranks stand by the old repub-
lican faith. 1t is not enough,
therefore, that the republicans oil
Vermont elect their ticket. They
must see to it that Vermont makes
her devotion to republican princl
pies emphatic by an old time ma
jority.

other troupes in the world. They were

houses that before they left they had
given 1000 performances. Wherever
they have appeared the contract has
been extended and return trips booked.
Another wonderful troupe booked for

The progress of events has not
been lost upon opinion, even i'll
the more remote districts. There
are thousands today who stand pre-
pared to Judge of parties not by the
claims they may set up, or the pre-
tensions they may advance, but
by the amount of practical good
they have been able to effect and
are capable of effecting. That is
the true test. 1t is the test by which
the republicans wish to be tried,
and it is that alone which is of any
practical value.
