A Good Appointment.
Gov. Stickney hns done one of the
most creditable things of the genern
. tion, and one that will atone for many
errors, in appointing Seneua ilazelton
of Burlington sixth justioe of the Su
preme court to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Chief Justice Taft.
To be cure, there was every argument
for it, that Judge Hazclton was cori
cededly the ablest and best-equipped
of the aspirants and had proved it by
his service as city judge of Burlington,
that his promotion from the position
of reporter would fitly follow the pre
cedents in the cases of Judges Staf
ford and Rowell, and that the appoint
ment was unanimously petitioned for
by the bars of Chittenden, Addison
and Washington counties. But all this
was met by the awful fact that he is a
Democrat, and that would almost cer
tainly have been sufficient to prevent
his election de novo by the legislature
" and may be even now despite the ad
vantage the governor's action has giv
en. There has never been so long a
period of so complete partisan exclu
sion from our court as the pres
ent . one since the "Vergennes
slaughter house" times under Fed
eralist auspices when it was tho
sincere belief that hoggishness was
genuine patriotism. Chief Justice
Koyall Tyler, for instance, though he
afterwards became a Democrat, was a
Federalist when a Democratic legisla
ture elected him to the bench. Judges
Poland and Kellogg, when Democrats,
were elected by Whigs, and so on al
most continuously until this genera
tion. The last Democrat to be elected
was Timothy P. Kedfield .'12 years ago.
when there happened to be three va
cancies, 'and he died nearly 20 years
ago.' Since then repeated attempts
have been made to effect a change, and
with at least full equality intellect
ually in the candidates offered, but
they have regularly been overwhelm- j
ingly beaten in the legislature.,, It
will be something for Gov. Stickney's
descendants to remember with satis
faction that he has done his best to
break this rule of partisan pettiness;
for it is perfectly obvious and was in
days when party feeling run far higher
than now, that to secure the right bal
ance in the court, there ought to be
representation of both schools of opin
ion on. public affairs.
ing in these arrangements, they ex
press little confidence in any satisfac
tory results, because they believe Eng
land remains adamant on the question
of granting independence to the South
African republics, As there is said to
bo complete unison among the Boer
leaders in the field and their represen
tatives in, Holland that the war will
continue unless she does grant this,
their lack of confidence is not surprising.
And now Zed S. Stanton of Roxbury
appears, makes his bow and modestly
communicates the fact hardly of a
news nature that he is willing to be
nominated for lieutenant-governor.
The "sample copies" thus far do not
satisfactorily indicate which side the
deal is with. Zed is a good fellow, a
man of moderate ability and large am
bition, who has done pretty well in
such public positions as he has held
on the whole rather above the average
of officialdom of late years.
POLITICAL DISCUSSION.
OF VERMONT MATTERS BY VARIOUS
STATE NEWSPAPERS.
Here's the ticket as it stands to-day :
For governor, General John G. MeCul-
lough of Bennington and Colonel
Fletcher D. Proctor of Proctor. For
lieutenant governor, Hon. Frederick
W. Baldwin of Barton, Hon. B. M.
Bartlett of Island Pond and Hon. Zed
S. Stanton of Roxbury. Take your
choice and do your kicking at the cau
cuses as your vote in September won't
cut much ice.
Judge John W. Rowell. who succeeds
Judge Taft as chief judge of the
state supieme court, was appointed to
tho bench in 1SS2 by Gov. Farnham,
and by length of service is the senior
member, lie has been a member of
the legislature, state senator, state's
attorney of Orange county and report
er of the supreme court decisions, and
is an able and scholarly jurist.
In spite of the fact that there )vas,
in tli e beginning, a spontaneous and
universal demand for Colonel Proctor's
candidacy for the governorship of Ver
mont, the St. Albans Messenger says
that the "Proctor tide is rising." Un
der the circumstances would it not be
well to take to the hills'
Kx-Ciov. Josiah Grout addresses a long
letter to the editor of the Messenger
showing just why Fletcher D. Proctor
should be the next Governor of Ver
mont. Josiah knows he has been
there.
The St. Albans Messenger is doing
good work for Fletcher I). Proctor in a
series of interviews with the supporters
of Proctor.
The Proctor cause has taken some
thing of a brace in the Governorship
contest the past week. The St. Al
bans Messenger, Burlington and Rut
land News, Poultney Journal, Bristol
Herald, Springfield Reporter, North
Troy Palladium, before "leaning" that
way are now out definitely for him,
while the Morrisville News and Citi
zen, flardwick Gazette, Middlebury
Register, Woodstock Standard and Es
sex Record pronounce for McCullough.
This carries the count to 10 for Proc
tor an'd 17 for McCullough. Circula
tion ratings, according to Pettingill
28,234 to 40,544. The Rutland News
adds to the gayety of the season
that with the asservation Proctor
has "never given his word" by
tongue or pen that he would not be a
candidate this year. and it also charac
terizes as only a "joke" the talk about
P. W. Clement as a high license candi
date. It is recognized all round that
it is to be a lively and largely attend
ed auction. The No. Troy Palladium in
taking its position announces itself to
be moved by a "hearty, unmistakable,
on-coming ground swell for Proctor."
It is learned from unquestioned au
thority at Washington that the presi
dent has decided to retire General
Miles ufter the adjournment of Con
gress. The Transvaal delegates are still at
Kroonstad. It is believed that Genernl
DeWet is influencing President Steyn
not to meet Acting President Schalk
Berger. George W. Kenney, superintendent
of motive power of the Rutland road,
has received orders to figure on 50,000
worth of machinery for the new shops I gifts to the
to he built soon ij Rutland, instead of
$.10,000 worth as originally ordered. ,
The democracy is not going to stay
out of this governorship agitation al
together. The "straight-outs" are
talking about F. W. McGettnck of St.
Albans and K S. Harris of Benning
ton as leaders of their state ticket
What Editors Throughout the State Are Say
ing in Regard to Current Political Events
Interesting Points From Many Pens.!
And why is it Mr. Proctor finds it
necessary to write personal letters to
this one ond that one asking support
for himself? Barre Times.
The Montpelier Journal and the
Biattleboro ' Phoenix should not be
taken too seriously in this campaign.
The editors of both are redheaded.
Bennington Reformer.
It is said that Genernl McCullough
has been n voter in Vermont longer
than Fletcher D. Proctor hns, and yet
according to some, he is not quite a
good enough Vermonter to make governor.-

The position taken by Senators Proc
tor and Dillingham in voting against
the ship subsidy bill meets with gen
eral approval in Vermont. The state

And wouldn't it be a good idea to
build a wall around the state and keep

If any of Senator Dillingham's
friends have been deluded Into the be
lief that there is no canvass being
made for his seat in Congress, they
can, by spending a few days in this
vicinity, have their hallucination dis
solved. Lyndonvillo Journal.
P. W. Clement's candidacy was de
clared a "pipe dream" by certain par
ties but some of the papers are already
arguing seriously to the extent of u
column or so against his response to
appeals from high license men to en
ter the field. Burlington Free Press.
For the benefit of some who fear the
Proctor family may not hold out, it is
well perhaps to state that there is a
Kedfield Proctor second, who is of vot
ing age and will becoming right along
directly. He might possibly be'
"drafted" to succeed Congressman j
Foster. Bennington Reformer.
No news has come of any rush of
Doctor Webb's former supporters' to J
Proctor's ranks. The majority of them j
are men who have convictions of their;
own and they will object to be traded

The candidacy of Fletcher D. Proc
tor stands on a platform with one
plank, "Vermont for Vermonters."
The cry is being worked for all it is
worth, but does not make rapid prog

attempt or a recent governor to pass a I
bill making the statean asylum for
distressed millionaires and encourag- I
ing immigration of that class at the
expense of those not so fortunate as to !
be possessed of great wealth that had
to be concealed or heavily taxed. The
latest move indicates that they are
still disposed to make Vermont the
home of Vermonters. Boston Transcript

j President Roosevelt is fond of telling
i any story at his own expense. That
iwhich he enjoys most is the following :
i Former Governor Wise had told the
; president that it was the general opin
l ion. so far as he had heard, that he
j would go down to posterity as a Wash
j ington. The president replied that he
j was delighted to hear that. "But."
added Wise, in a serious manner,
"whether it will be a George or a
j Booker T. I don't know. " The presi
'dent is said to have laughed sohearti
I ly over this that Wise became alarmed,
