CHARLES J. BELL.


(FrOm the Rutland l1crIll)
The sudden death OF Charles ]. pcu
ex-governor OF Vermont, which took
place In New York on Saturday, will be
genuine shock to thousands Of the
plain people OF the state, whose respect
and affection he enjoyed in a somewhat
unusual measure. Among the farmers Of
Vermont. particularly, Mr., Bell enjoyed
special distinction as dairyman and
granger. unframed in politics or public
life, who became the chief executive Of
tho State by sheer force of honesty ard
high private character.
Mr. Bell was a man of a new TYNE
In Vermont public life. He incurred n
great many serious enmltes in connec-
ton with his work on the board of agri-
culture, when hundreds of cattle. con-
domned under the tuberculln test were
slaughtered under his direction, but he
proceeded with the work, according to
the rather imperfect law then In opera
tion. regardless Of storms OF criticisms
and Indignation.
He never catered seriously 10 the ma
chine element in State politics, but, after
unimportant service in the House and
Senate entered the field for the govern
orshp, relying practically alone ON his
personal friendships and reputation for
honesty and square dealing. He was OPP
posed by Zed A. Stanton, a wel-known
figure, and Joseph a. DeBoer Of Mont
pelier. one OF the best thinkers and con-
structiye statesmen In Vermont. His
nomination by large majority was n
tribute to tho strength OF the farmer
vote" once thoroughly enlisted and got
