work on, for we've long needed it.

Vermont Politics BY Way Of
New York

The Burlington Free Press at last
touches present Vermont politics. But
it gets at,it by way of New York, citing
the glorious example of New Yolk's
governor as one that should be emulated
here.
There was time when New York
methods did not appeal to Vermonters,
as the Free Press evidently thinks now
is the case, and the amiable contempt
rary is reminded that there has trans.
pired very little in New York politics
since the "beech seal period from
which Vermonters can draw lessons in
sanctity or purity. Governor Hughes
no doubt, exemplifies IA lofty conception
of the gnbernatorial Office, but this con.
tinuous show of the Free Press New
Working" It all over Vermont is apt tc
become tiresome.
Why does not the Free Press come
out and live for awhile in Vermont
Why does it not either start a guber
material candidate of its own or line uI

Not Fair Fighting.

The opponents OF DR.. Mead do not
seem to be actuated so much by their
faith in Mr.. Fleetwood as by some other
influence. The "Anything to Beat
Mead" policy which seems to have been
adopted by several of our contempora-
res looks suspicious and it should, as it
probably will, lead all voters who have
no direct interest in the matter, to ana
I'VE the situation carefully. The Ameri.
can people instinctively rally to the
support of any man or cause which they
have reason to feel is not getting fair
show.
The "Anything to Beat Mead" slogan
which seems to have been adopted by
the opponents of DIR. Mead is to our
mind unfortunate and is very likely to
work directly opposite from the way its
sponsors intend that it should. Even
this early in the campaign the opponents
of DR.. Mead seem to be careless of their
statements, in their eagerness to prejn'
dice the public mind against him. They
say in one breath that he is not con.
structive statesman and therefore moi
qualified to be leader and in the next
they assail him as "leader" of what
they describe as the last notorious anG
inefficient Legislature.
We fear those who are arraying them
selves againt DR.. Mead, protest TOT
much and they stand in danger Of being
undone by their own protestings.-Bur

Euioqy for the Grand Trunk.

In the London "Times" of February
4th, AN article appears from one of their
travelling correspondents descriptive of
a tour through America, in. which the
following appears:-
"By far the finest travelling have
done so far in America was over the
Grand Trunk line from Montreal to
Toronto. The Grand Trunk have adj
mittediy perfect roadbed. We ran at
about fifty miles per hour on the 'Inter.

Silly Charge Refuted.

The charge that Dr Mead is paying
for campaign headquarters aud is spend
ing money in other legitimate ways is
silly. That is exactly what has been
done for many years 10y nearly every
candidate for office and by every party
that undertakes campaign. The time
has gone 10y when the office seeks the
candidate The candidate who gets ill.,
to office must seek it with all the honest
persuasion aud power he has if he gets
there. The papers which are condemn
ing DIR. Mead for his present canvass for
nomination are straining at gnat. ~
has seemed to us thus far that DIR. Mead
has kept within the bounds of propriety
and decency. He has honestly furnished
the newspapers facts about his life to be
paid for AS any other advertising. Ii
there any more dignified method, any
method less subject to proper criticism
or any more effective way to inform the
people how he has spent his life thu
far and how well he is qualified for thu
office he seeks? We cannot think o
any such method. There can be n,
question of corruption when maj
comes out in the open that way. |
does not seem to us reprehensible, either
for IA candidate to employ men of goo
character to advocate his office through
out the Burlington Evenin
