Chairman V. W.

Tho committee nro detorniinol to boeuro somo man of national reputation as a speaker, nud it is well for tho members of the party on somo accounts to 001110 into contact with public men from other sections of tV country.

I fnyctte Harstow of South Ihulington, and u cousin of Hon. John L. Barstow of Slid burno. I-.x-Oov. Darstow would mako an excellent and clliclont senator, but unfortu nately tho ofllco does not always seek tho man successfully, in ermont or elsewhere, A'priiioiit's Yoiinir Kcpiiblicniis, Tho future hopo of tho republican party in ermont, as in other States, is in its young members. To them wo aro to lool f di- tho coming lenders as well as for workers of tbo rank and fllo. They aro to shapi tho issues of tho crowding dcfades, to ficht inture battles nnd celobrato coining victo rii s. How important is it, therefore, that they bo prepared, not to push present activ leaders from tho stage of action, but to tnko tho work which shall fall to them and carry It on to n gratifying and crowning success! Many republicans in ermont havo felt that the young men of tho party wero being neglected in somo ways, and allowed todrift hither and yon, with no defluito idea motive ns an inspiration and no gonl of ac complishment as a beacon; and this is un doubtcdly tho caso to a grcator or less do gree. Tho instituting of measures to remody this condition of nits Irs ha often been dis cussed, and initial steps taken, ovou, but no effective and permanent remedy has boeu thus far discovered. Hero nnd thoru young man lias pushed to tbo front in pub lie affair, but tho great mass of tho young men of Vermont havo not appeared to have any recognizod place in tho party councils or to bo receiving any degreo of truining for thoir future work. To bo ollgiblo to a position in tho count ing room, tho storo, tho workshop, tho fac tory, to any ono of tho professions, or to plnco in an army upon tho Held, a young man in this ago is invariably supposed to have had previous training nnd discipline, Hut whon tho field ot politics is approached all this is cliauged. TJis provnlling idon fceeins to bo that useful young citizens nro born, not mado, nnd Hint thoy can spring into positions of responsibility, or do ciTce live work in tho ranks, without) provious knowledge or training, or ovon'.waruing, Some of tho thoughtful lenders of tho re publican purty in Vermont have como to the conclusion that radical steps should be taken for tho purpoo of effecting a thorough re form iu this respect; and they havo conso nuoutly fonnulutod a plan for tho form ation of an organization to bo known as the Young Men's Republican club of Vermont or some other such name,, with subordinate litlis In every town In thn State. It is not expected that tills organization wilt In any ay niitiifroulza or supercede thn republican league, but that It shall lioconllueil to young men exclusively. Neither is this organiza tion projected in tho interests of any man or nny set of men, in tho present campaign, or in any contest to follow. Tho idea is solely to cducnte the young men in relation to tho isjiiee of tho day; to give them training in tho matter ot participating in deliberative. siniblies and conducting tho snmo, nnd to prepare, them for tho work which will soon er or later fall to their hands in town and State. It Is proposed that a tcmpirary organiza tion ot tho Young Men's Republican club bo Directed after tho holding of tho coming publican State convention In M-mtpeliei-, and that n committee bo appointed at that liiuo who shall formulate u constitution and bv-laws nnd report at an ad journcd meet ing. It is nko proposed that this adjourned meeting take tho form of a State convention to bo'hcld soiuo time, sny in August, when the campaign shall havo niiido considerable progress, nt some prontinont place like Hut land, Mont poller, St. Jolnisbury, St. Al bans or this city; and that some young re publican of national reputation liko Senator Ijodgo of Massachusetts bo secured to deliver an addrefs to tho young republicans of Ver mont. This plan has been favorably recommend cd by Senator 'i octor,C'ongressman Powers, nnd prominent members of tho party in various parts of the State, and if carried out as it should bo In tho details which readily suggest themselves, n voting mens republican club ot Vermont ought to bo a grand success. Such u movement would not 011I3 ensure the party I he abiding loyal tv of its young men. "Put it would also niako those young men more intelligent nnd ac tive, nnd, therefore, mom useful citizens. It is true in tho matter of good government, as in a higher realm, that he that is not for us is ngaiiist us, and in this age of socialist and populist tendencies thcro cannot lie too many young men on the right side. All re publicans hail therefore, lo an organiza tion of tho young republicans of Vermont! itli-r Dull N'nr Hard Times. Tho 0110 h ho thinks that these aro dull times in ermont must bo a iconise or n hater of tho newspaper:). Ilrtwoen political conventions, college and school commence incuts, church assemblies, weddings, par ties, excursions, celebrations, anniversaries, bnso ball coulcsts, racing meetings, fishing trips, and the telling 0 these things, the nverago resident lluds it dillicult to save nough time to dovoto to ordinary business, Juno is always a month of nctlvity wWi us, and this is appropriate; for all of our sur roundings aro invigorating. Tho varying hues of rich deep emerald ot tho hillside. bespeak tho nomoof nnturo'sipik'kouing, and tho very air wo breathe is charged with igor and energy. Juno is tho month, therefore, in which to enjoy life at its fullest as well as to accomplish much in little time, Then tho powers nro nt their best, and that Ver monters nro doing this is fully ovident from tho crowded progress of events nbout us. Nor are thcro "hard times" In Vermont. A merchant who was npproached with refer ence to n certain project tho other day in liurlington made th" excuse for not invest ing that it was not a favorable timo on ac count of tho business depression. "Hut is not your business bettor this year than it was last year or over before:-" impiirod the solicitor, and tho merchant was obliged to admit that this was tho case. Nino out of ten Dullness men in Jiurllngton, as well ns in other towns in Vermont, would boobligod to make the same admission if they told the truth. Under tho circumstances our people ought to stop talking nbout "hard times Thero is plenty of money in the Stnto and much to spare, and if tho people will only be conservatively progressive tho times will bo found to bo much easier than many havo imagined. As n matter of fact tho times in tho Green Mountain Stnto nro neither dull nor "hard." A Ncu- President inl Possibility, In somo departments of life it is po-sible to predict with somo considerable degree of accuracy what will tako place, but this is far from being true iu the field ot politics. Indeed it is undoubtedly true thnt no un certainty is bo great as a political uncer tainty. This has been conclusively showu in numerous instiinccs iu American politics, and particularly in somo of tho grcnt na tional conventions. Men who may not havo been dreamed of in connection with the Whito IIouso nt A'ashington havo sudilonly found themselves famous as successful presi dential candidates of tho "dark horse" variety. On tbo other baud political chief tains who appeared to have imprognnblo posi tions in party leadership, havo boon uncere moniously ousted from thoir places to tho surprise of their party itself as well as of tho outside world. Tho man w ho is rejectod in politics to-duy may bo tho political idol of to-morrow; and tho party leader who is lauded to the skies now may bo a political outcast insido of twelve months. It is to bo noted, howovor, that this mav result from two causes. Tho man himolf may commit somo egregious politi cal blundor, as did Senator C'oukliu of New- York, which will lend tho pooplo to reject him, or tho pooplo may striko out "on a tangent," ns thoy Bomotimos do in politics. unaccountably. Both of these influences aro constantly operating ami botween them political developments nro largely in tho naturo of surprises. Theso thoughts suggest themselves in con nection with n glance in tho direction of tho next republican national convention, As ono considers tho possibilities iu relation to tho republican nomination for president tho men whoso nnmos have ulready become prominent in that connection suggest them selves. Moreover, an application of the theory of probablitios would cause tho re publican nomination for president to fall to somo such man us Harrison, Mclvinloy, Reed, Allison, Lincoln. But tho flcklo god dess of political fortune does not solect presidential candidates invariably in accordance with populnr expectation or even tho theory of probabilities. Proof of this fact was furnlnhod by tho nomination of both Garfield and Hujus ns woll as of others who might bo named. But oven if no dark horso candidate car ries oir tho honor, it Is inmossiblo to predict, ignoring for tho tlmo-boing, nil question of I choice, that tho nomination will go to any 0110 of tho republican leaders named; for not only nro new combinations liable to bo made, but now men nro likely to npptar in tho field. Gen. lleiijamin V. Tracy has nl ready been favorably mentioned by repub licans for tin; nomination, and now a now candidate has appeared in tho jwrson of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Tho 1'liila- Llolphla Ledger not only announces Quay's candidacy, but It nlso stutoi that ho will go before tho national convention with the solid delegation ot tho Keystone Stnto be hind hlin. In view of tho fact that Penn sylvania will havo ninety-six delegates in that body, If the proposed rule providing for representation according to tho repubt lion n veto is carried into oltecl, the State may play nu important pnr- In tho next republican national (invention, especially as some of tho States which would oppose (Juay would have dn creascd representation. It is claimed that (v)nay will bo supported by the stalwart wing of tho party which nomlnnleii Harri son in ltw and which cast its fortunes with Illnino in W-J, nnd that ho will be favored by Piatt of Now York, Clorkson of Iowa, Mulumo of A Irglnln, Clayton of Ar kansas and Gen. Alger of Michigan, if tho latter is not n condidate himself. It is as sorted that thero is an clement of stnlwnrt ism which binds theo leader togother, nnd thnt they will favor ono of their own number rnther than n younger or loss tried member of tho party. It is evident thnt Senator Quay may bo como n formidable candidate, for the nomi nation, but ns wo said nt tho outset it is im possible to predict what will happen iu poll tics, nud especially two years ahead. Wo deem it our duty, however, to keep or readers informed upon all questions of this nature and developments in relntion to tho same. reervinz the ricnt lo npprovo or oppose at tho proper timo. IIiiKluml's Grand Old Commoner. Although Mr. Oladstono has retired from English politics for tho present at least, in terest in )u movements nnd welfnro nppears to bo unabated; and his friends and ndmir era on both sides of tho Atlantic will hear with pleasure thnt since tho operation for tho removal of cataracts was performed on his eyes ho is making rapid progress townrd complote recovery. It fs possiblu that ho may bo in condition to take part in the next national struggle for the control of Parlia ment, but tho chance,-; aro thnt in view of his advanced age, and his experience during his last, leadership of tho liberal party, lu will hardly dare to again undertako the ard uous duties of tho management of n great campaign. Hut whatever may be tho decision of England's "grand old man" with reference to ro-entering the political field, 0110 thing is certain, nnd that is thnt Gladstono desires to dio ns he has lived, ono of Great Hritain's great commoners. It is announced by cable that the queen olrered Mr. Gladstono nn earldom eithor for himself or for his wife, but ho declined any such honors, desiring in this matter, ns ho informed her majesty, to follow tho cxninplo of his political master, Sir Robert Peel. That statesman refused similar distinctions in 181(1. an 1 they woro again declined by I.ndy Peel iu 1S."0, after her husband's death. Gladstone has refused honors of this nature moro than onco, and he will undoubtedly persist in maintaining his present attitude toward an houorary :itlc to the end. The spectacle afforded by this grand old innn iu refusing n title of nobility, when tho great world is making one mad rush nfter positiou nnd distinction, is well calculate 1 to cause tho thoughtful person to pause and rcllect upon the meaning uf true nobility. It is plain to all that no act of tha queen or of Parliament could ndd to tho momnro of distinction which Gladstone's acts have won for him or render moro noble tho life which has been so largely devoted to im proving the condition of others. Gladstono has won a title of nobility so high above the mero name in which so many English fami lies glory, that ho would bo compelled to stoop to nccept nn earldom, or any other titlo in the gift of Queen Victoria. Kcsiili of thn City Cnm-iis. If nny 0110 anticipated a lively contest in tho republican city- caucus which was held Saturday ovening for tho election of delo gates to tho Stato, district and county con ventions, the result must havo been disap pointing. So far as tho interests of tho re publicans of Burlington nro concerned in those respective conventions tho outcome of tho cnueus was decisive ns well as entirely harmonious. In relation to the delegation to I ho State convention, it is of cour.-e unnecessary to ny that its members are enthusiastically for Col. U. A. Woodbury for governor, ns will bo tho rank and lllo of tho party throughout tho State, judging from tho ex pressions by word of mouth which are heard on overy hand, ns well ns from thoo sonti- ments which find their way into the public press. Tho lieutenant-governorship ques tion, howovor, wus not a factor in the selection of thu delegation, nud so far as wo havo learned its members woro not ovon asked what candidate thoy favored for tho socoud place on tho ticket. It goes without saying, therefore, that tho delegation is unpledged, ns well ns uninstructed, as regards tho lieutenant-governorship contest, und iu view of tho fact that a resident of this city will bo tho republican candidate for governor in nil huinun probability, this was undoubted ly tho proper course to tako. It is to bo taken for grauto 1, as was un doubtedly dotio by thoso who helped to make out tho delegation to tho district con vention, that tho delegates ure, ontiroly fa vorable to tho ronomination of Hon. H. Henry rowers ns congressmnn from tho Kirst district. Congressman Powers bus won an enviable reputation and made n rocord for himsolf in AVasbington that nro not usual for roprosoutatlvos who havo not bcou longer in tho House than has he, oud ho has fulfilled tho high expectations which woro indulged in by 1iIb friends mid admirers when thoy elected him to tho Fifty-second Congress and re-elocted him to tho I if ty thlrd. The Burlington dologatlon to tho district convention will bo enthusiastically for Congressman Powors. In the selection of delegates to tho county convention three considerations beside fit ness wero involved, and thoso wore that tho men choson to bo representatives luthut gath ering should favor Ellas Lylnan for State senator from this city, It. E. Brown for State's attorney and Hon. Torrey E. Wales for judgo of probate, although tho ticket a is usual was headed for henator nlono. Where thero was any doubt In relation to theso points, inquiry was made, so that tho delegation Is expected to bo a unit for the geiillcmeii named for their respective posi tions. Judgo Wnloi, ns in former years, declined to nsl: for tho support of bis townsmen for a rctionilnatloii, hut bis numerous fi lends tnko tho matter in hand, and l'o him 11 delega tion from this city without opposition iu tho caucus. They d 3 nut bellevo that 11 man who has dovotod practically nil of Ids maturo ycar.s to tho public son ioo should bo ousted at his timo of life from an ofllco which It is uot customary to pass nround in this or nny other county, simply because homo one else wants tho olllcp, Judgo Wnlos stands pro-oniincnt among the judges of probata in Vermont nt tho pre'cut time, nud there nro few other probato judges in tho Stnto who nro not glad to learn of him in regard to knotty points. He is doing good service to-day, and is likely to continno well doing for somo time, nltluiugh nt bis ago tho years nh"ad can not bo many, and in considera tion of theso nnd other facts his friends will ak tho delegates of other towns in tile county to join iu giving Judgo AVnles a henrt renoiulnntion. So far ns candidates for other positions on tho county ticket nro concerned, the delega tion selected by the republicans is un pledged ns well as uninstri.vted, and its members will go into tho convention pre pared to tnko such action ns shall seem nt thnt timo to bo bet for tho interests of tho people of Chittenden county. CIovi-IuiuI'm llovisod Version. The announcement which conies from Washington to the effect thnt President Cleveland is greatly dissatisfied with the provisions of the tariff bill in some instances ns modified inthoSonato, and particularly tho sugar schedule, is not surprising under tho circumstnnccs. Indeed, it would, on tlto other hand, bo surprising if the president wero satisfied with the provisions of this tnrilT monstrosity: for there is certainly 110 ono outside the Wbito IIouso who is not much disatisfled with the tariir measure as it stands. It embolics so much freo trndo that it could not by any strotch of tho fancy bo regnrdod with favor by thoso democrats who believe in tho protection of Ameri can industries anil American labor; and it nt tho snmo time contains just enough protection to shntter tho moribund reputntiou of tho democratic party for sincerity nud voracity, nud is, therefore, repugnant to the tarilf smashers. This being tho ense nny announcement on tho pnrt of the president that ho regarded the tarill' bill with favor would bo a confes sion of his atllietiou with a sort of Jekyll and Hydo make up. It would amount to a statement of his abilitv to i)?rform the hitherto impossible feat of riding two homes going in opposite directions. It would mean that ho hail learned how to serve nt tho snmo timo tho star-eyed goddess ot reform and tho mammon of tho sugar trust. Mr. Cleveland doas well, therefore, to proclaim his dissatisfaction with tho crazy patchwork which our democratic friends propoo to foist upon tho country as a -'reformel" tarilf bill. But the announcement of tho jirsi lent's disapproval of some of the feat urcs of tho Sen ate .s revision of the tariff bill is accom panied by another statement which is even more significant than is the foregoing alle gation. It is stated that President Clove- land will hnve n finger in tho turiir pie when tho measure goes before n conference committee of the two Houses of Congress. It is proclaimed in his behalf that tho presi dent will insist on tho radical modificntion of a number ot provisions of tho measure, nnd that it will not receive tho seal of his etecutivo approval until theso changes are made. This statement s iunds'very well, but it is ovident that, the oracles of the White House should get together. It is only a day or so since tho public was gravely informed that President Cleveland had been importuned to uso his inllueneo to settle tho tariir con troversy, but that ho had absolutely de clined, nnd that he would havo nothing to do with tho formulation of a tarilf bill Now- wo aro informed, however, that ho will again assmuo tho position of party die tator, abdicated by him after tho famou fight in Congress on silver, und that ho will demand that the tariir bill bo revised to suit him. If tho president persists in pursuing this course, tho country will bo edified by tho spoctnelo ot another turitt revision of dem ocratic stripe, but unless tho president is more successful than his party in cither branch of Congress, tho bill will be less sat isfactory when ho lias polished it off thnn it is even now. Howover, nil strnugo things are possiblo apparently with this adminis tration, and tho public will await with in tenso intorest and curiosity tho nppenrauco of Clovolnuil's rovampod edition of tho Sen ate's revision of tho Senate llimm-o commit teo's revised version of tho Wilson taritr ro vision.
