The Humbug of Politics.

Take political convention, Tor IN

the air has reekcd with charges and coun,
ter.charges of false faith, dishonor and
dishonesty, the opposing cohorts meet IN
a large hall, as delegates representing
their several towns. \ longfrocked clergy

blessing on all and Divine inspiration IN
the choice about to be made. As all con.
ventions OF all parties follow tins same
custom, Divinity must be quite non

Then the roll is called and the slate OF
officers read, made up by the committee

had for a day or two, and is already set
up at the home office. The chairman rings
in the names of the party leaders, and 1t

when this time arrives. The secretaries
are named in like manner, but get no

AT late hour last night the candidates
for the republican nomination OF town

Barber and Robert G. Bacon. Ii The he

the caucus will be between the legally
trained aspirants. Messrs. Barber and
Bacon. and if past Barber-Bacon contro-

test will be a decidedly strenuous one.

the founder of the travelling library system,
which now permeates every section and

Vermont library commission has at its
disposal large number of carefully Sc

of much more use to the state if their ex-

Dear Mr.. Meddler:- -,

The Meddler would like to see some can
didate for public Office announce his entry
with something beside that old worn-out
subterfuge of having been urged by his
friends to enter the field, etc. Everybody
knows that nine out of every ten candl'
dates for office are in state OF mind sum-
lar to the baby in the soap advertisement
who won't be happy till he gets 1t,
They are not yielding to the wishes oil
their many friends once IN hun
dred times. They are needing their
own desires in the matter and might
as well come out frankly and say as much.
The Meddler would make this suggestion
TO the next candidate for public office IN
this town. Announce yourself as follows
II am anxious to be elected to the office
of ---, and therefore announce myself
as a candidate for the place. ! am not
doing this at the solicitation of my many
friends nor am | yielding to the wishes
of the aforesaid company. My friends
haven't urgently requested me TO become
a candidate and | haven't LETT the matter
for them to decide. | am in the fight be.
cause am anxious to get the Office. The
extent of my friendship can be better cal
cuated after election than at present, but
il il turns out that | have enough to win
they may be sure that | shall attempt to
fulfil the duties OF the position with the
same honesty and frankness that charac-
terizes this announcement.

Transfers and other drivers who have

As the foliage now is persons driving to-
ward Brattleboro are unable to tell until
