Bluff.

When as good a man as Allen M.
Fletcher has to step aside for term
or two, the last-minute mentions of
new candidates for governor seem
idle, insincere and silly; likewise
they are largely bluff on the part
of some of our good republican
friends. Windsor county isn't 60
ing to put forward another man for
the job, Notwithstanding the echoed
assertions that there is "nothing the

Pomfret, and that Gen.Hugh Henry

year as would a pung sleigh on the
grand circuit.
1t looks as if Lieutenant-governor
ProutY had the nomination in his
poc ket, and there is suspicion that
he has been promoted for purpose
that has very little TO do with the
everyday administration Of state
affairs. The disinterestedness of the
Proctor family is proverbial, but
they have a practical side which is
sometimes in evidence.
