EDITORIAL SINGING.-The late Edit
orial Convention at Brattleboro, brought
out the fact that we have some excellent
musicians and singers among the edito-
rial fraternity of this State. Brother
Chase of the Lyndon Union, is not only
fine singer, but we learn he is a teach
er of music, and it is understood now
why the late peace jubilee was held in
his town. Green of the Woodstock
Standard, Cook, of the Bennington Ban
ner and Bigelow of Burlington are also
all good singists," and. it is expected
hereafter that their music will form an
interesting feature of the Vermont Edit
orial Association. This per Executive
Committee j Cook plays in a band and
at our late meeting at Brattleboro, pre-
sided with emminent dignity at the pi-
ano, while the editorial quintet sang
"Hurrah for Old New England" in
capital style, causing those present
2me- the opportunity to unlock their
forms in hearty Justification. There
There is so much of puff already,
and it's fully deserved" tool Should
the craft hereafter get up concert, they
will be able to get out their own posters
and do their own putting!

The PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTIoN.-All
that was done in this place for the recep-
ton of the President, was the work of
only few hours before his arrival. The
promptness with which several Cornet
Bands volunteered their presence on
learning of the Presidents expected
presence, was highly creditable to their
own patriotism. The Grafton Band was
the first on the ground. The Keene Band
arrived soon after on an excursion train
from that place, and little later the
Alstead Band were also on hand. With
out these bands the reception would have
been tame indeed, and our people feel
under much obligation to all of them.
So far as the arrangements in this village
were concerned, no party spirit prevail
ed, but all classes alike joined heartily
in the reception. There must have been
more than 5000 people present, and the
number would of course have been very
much larger if the notice could have
been more extended. As it was we be-
lieve it passed off very much to the sat
isfaction of all.

Republicans of Bellows Falls.

The republicans of this village this
year owe duty to themselves and to
their fellow republicans in other parts of
the town which they have never owed
before, and which they ought to regard.
1t is the first freemen's meeting ever held
in this village. In the last one hundred
years they have always been obliged to
lose at least half day, besides the ex-
pense of getting to the polls Now they
will not need to take over ten or fifteen
minutes at the longest, and even this can
be taken during the dinner hour between
II and o'clock. The polls will be
opened at 10 o'clock in the morning and
close at 8 o'clock in the afternoon for
town representative, but will remain open
on State ticket till shutdown. There is
no reason therefore why every republic
can in this village should not vote, and
in fact we doubt not they will.
There is one other matter. The DEM
ocrats very naturally desire to get up
split or division among the republicans
of the town. The rock they propose to
found this disaffection upon has no polit-
zeal significance whatever, and on this
point we appeal to the republicans of the
entire town, not to allow themselves to
be cajoled into the hands of their old
foes, by any matter which has no bearing
upon the political question at issue on the
day of election. With union and har-
mony in our own ranks there is not of
course particle of doubt as to the re-
suit.

1t is short sighted in Vermonters to
pay their money to go out of the State
for dividends to foreign stockholders
when they can be insured in response
bic Company at home, and that at less
cost because there are no dividends to be
paid. The ASSESSMENTS in the Windsor
County Company at Woodstock since it
began business in 1910 have averaged
but "a per cent and it takes only 3 per
cent in advance.

Horse THIEF CAPTURED.-William
Hardy, of Troy, N. Y, alias S. F. Car
penter, of Worcester, Mass, alias Henry
F. Carpenter, on his arrival at this place
on Tuesday, was brought before justice
w. H. johnson, Tuesday evening, and
for the want of bail in the sum of $500,
was taken to Jail at Fayetteville on We'd
nesday morning, to await trial at County
Court for stealing horse and buggy
from J. d. Bridgman's livery stable some
two weeks ago, by pretending to hire the
same to go to Saxtons River. On Sat
urday last, Mr.. Brdgman received a dis
patch from the chief of police in Wor-
cester, describing the property found and
supposed thief, and Monday Sheriff lay
lor started for Worcester where he found
both theft and property, and next day
returned with the thief, when he was full
ly identified. But little is known of him
though his real name is said to be Car
penter, and has parents living in North
ern New York. The Springfield Mass
Republican says he was arrested during
the races there last week, where he false
ly claimed to be selling pools, which we
believe is some kind of gambling article.

The crowd then gave three more cheers
for the President and he retired and was
introduced to a few citizens, among
whom was the venerable editor and prin-
ter, John Prentiss of Keene, n. H., who
is now ninety-two years of age, and who
published the Keene Sentinel some for
ty-nine years.
Accompanying the President was his
wife, Nellie and jesse, Of his family-his
oldest son being at West Point. Nellie
is very amiable young Miss, and Jesse
is plainly ga chip of the old block"
Gov. Stearns and staff and Senator Cra-
gin of New Hampshire were also of the
party. Gov. Page of this State met him
at Wells River and accompanied him to
Rutland. After dinner the party again
entered carriage and with music were
escorted to the depot, where they entered
the elegant drawing-room car, and amid
the firing of another salute and the
cheers of the people the train started,
the President standing upon the rear end
of the car and bowling his acknowledge
ments, and thus ended most happily the
reception by our people of the most dis
tinguished guest which they or any other
people have ever enjoyed.
