The approach to Blooninsburgh opens one OF
the lovelies. prospects, in the country. The val
lev Of the shawangunk is level, fertile and well
cultivated and as you approach within three miles
Of the village, located therein, you look down
across it and thence the eye takes in the whole
slope of the Shawangunk Mountain, here depres-
sed TO moderate altitude and covered with some
of the best farms in Sullivan County. They lie
all directly in your eye, though five or si1 miles
distant, stretching for miles along the South east

summit, with wood and field happily interminged'
presenting every evidence Of thrift and comfort

There was a gathering of about 1000 at
Boomingburgh mainly the substantial Farmers
of that vicinity, and of course mainly Wings, as
it was meeting of the Bloomingburgh Clay
Club. They had expected other speakers-one
other at least-but they heard me through Two
hours with unbroken patience. A few Loco-foco
rowdies undertook to disturb the meeting, but de-
sisted after short time, on being assured that
they must. A shower Of rain caused brief SUE

number in attendance The meeting was com.

Justify my estimate in November.
The town of Mamaliating (n which Bloom
ingburgh is situated) is On example to Wings else
where, whicl. many towns would initiate with ad-
vantage. 1t polls some 700 votes-probably 6oO
of them cast by Farmers and formerly gave
large Regency maj 1rity. 1t was won over 10 the
Wing side in the sautary fermentation Of 1875.
and has since been kept there, by determined and
constant effort. Though desperately contested,
it gave l6 majority for Harrison and for Seward
in 1910. The Wings have since gained steadily,
and last spring the Locos, after spirited rally,
abandoned the contest in despair three hours be-
fore the polls closed, and the Wing ticket was
elected unbrokcn by lis majority. Though the
Wings have been serious weakened since by re-
movals, they will treble Harrison's majority this
Fall. This is the result Of steady, faithful work
in diffusing intelligence and dspelling delusion-
a work not conf led to few, for few cannot do
it, but eagerly performed by the whole body
They are all minute men, and consider them
selves ever on duty. Thus in the stormy election
day of l642, when the Wing vote fell off almost
every where else, the majority agains, Bouck was
