Vermont is called upon to make con-
slant contribution to her sons and daugh-
ters to fill up the mighty and growing
West, and the result is to be a loss of
political power to the Green Mountain
State in the next apportionment OF Rep
resentatives to Congress.
From five Representatives which we
have had, we go down to two, and if our
country continues to increase in popula-
ton we soon shall be reduced to one. 1
say soon. BY this [ mean to say 30 or 40
years. and then Rhode Island and Della
ware will have as much political power as
Vermont in the halls Of Congress. There
is one consolation, however, in the loss.
We are giving to the West class of men
who have brains and who are honest.
States built up from such material as YER
mont furnishes, will always be found up
on the side of truth, with her foundation
laid in moral and political honesty, ce-
mented with intelligence and one true
patriotism. Glorious old State We love
her for her manly independence and ster-
ling integrity, her love for truth and hui
manity; the State where schoolhouses
and churches abound, and the desire for
knowledge inwrought into the character
of the people finds its true status in its
complete conservation and appreciation.
"A special town meeting has been call

society have begun some repairs on the
vestry Of their meeting house. The old
vestry is all cleaned ont, and all things
will be made new. The ladies' social
circle propose to furnish the funds, and
have secured Henry Holmes as superin-
tendent of the repairs. His we'll known
efficiency and thoroughness in such mat
tiers are guarantees that the work will be
properly done. Mr.. Holmes is the manu-
facturer of the well known Tyler's churn,
and no "shoddy" material or work ever
found its way into those. What a good
thing it is to find man who knows how
piece of work should be done, and who
will do it well.
BY the way, Mr.. Holmes is just finish

THE RUTLAND HERALD.
rFor the HERALD
willard Mans Experience

MR. EDIToR-Dear Sir: went to the
convention for the purpose OF sus' aiming
Mr.. Willard, although was not INSTRUCT
ed 70 do 90 by my town. went into the
convention in good faith, thinking L
would help him by my vote; but when 1
saw the united opposition OF the Willard
men TO q resolution offered in the conven-
ton to permit the delegates from each
comfy to choose committee on creden
tials, it began to open my eyes. The
Willard men voted solid to put the ap-
pointment Of the com mittee on credep
tials into the hands of the President OF
the convention, who, | understand, is a
relative of G. w. and was known to be
strongly in favor of his election, instead
OF letting the people make the choice. L
began to feel uneasy at my position and
said to myself, Ii that unfairness is per-
sisted in, will have nothing more to do
with Mr.. Willard or his corrupt follow
ers." But was still unwilling to be-
lievo that any set of men could be found
in Vermont who would persistently fol-
low such a course, and continued to watch
them. The next move was to attempt to
force down the convention the decision OF
the President when the count of votes
was evidently an error. The Willard
men claimed that his decision was final
and could not be corrected. Mr.. Park,
from bennington, demolished their sub
terfuges, and some of the more sensible
and honest ones yielded to his scathing
arguments and permitted another count
Their next move was TO argue in favor OF
letting Monktou have double delega-
ton, when they both voted for Willard.
And lastly, they permitted the delegates
elected in Bennington by at least one
hundred Democratic votes to hold their
seats and shut out the delegates elected
by Republicans Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 ask
if any honest man could sustain Mr. Will
lard or hia supporters. For one, 1 could
not, and am now willing to work with
those who oppose Mr.. Willard, and am in
favor Of some man who will break down
the schemes of the dishonest political
demapoguas that run tho Willard party
When l find that any party or set of men
undertake to etiAe the voice Of the people
by trjcRrry, shall always do az I have
done now,--leava them. FREEMAN.

CLUE TO THE NATHAN MURDER
The police are now engaged in working up
a newly found clue to the Nathan muir
der, and are keeping their motions very
secret. The clue is q very strong one, and
was obtained in singular way. On the
last day of the Saratoga races, Mr.. Z. B
Hart, relative of Mr.. Nathan, was in
conversation with Mr.. Schenck, jr., who
resides at the corner of 34th street and
9th avenue. The murder was the topic
of conversation, and Mr.. Hart was speak
ing of the "dog" with which it was com.
mitted. Mr. Schenck heard his descrip-
ton, and then said ths he remembered
the Instrument perfectly well It was
stolen from his house last fall by burg
lars. He had used it to open wine cases,
etc, and was able TO describe it accurate
ly, as well as to identify il when it was
shown him. Now the burglarIy at Mr.
Schenck's house IS supposed to have been
committed by three meE, Of whom two
are now III prison and the other at large.
The latter was one began, who was an
intimate Of young Kelley's. This is the
most important piece of evidence yet Oh
tanned. There ia another story in circu-
lation relative to the murder, but it seems
to have no responsible father. 1t is, that
on the night of the murder prominent
banker saw man ascend the steps of the
Nathan residence and strike three matches
successfully. The signal was instantly
answered from the garnet window in the
same mansion.

John Teranan, young man at work
for @. D. Childs, in attempting to slide off

required quite an exertion to lift him off.
He is doing well.
Your correspondent would like to
call the attention of the readers of the
hhnAr.D. and more especially those in
terested IN the fe"thcoming celebration of
the Rutland Centennial-ana we are sure
that most everybody and their families are
interested in that enterprise-to an item
of interest that we lately had the plea
sure of examining in that town, at the
residence of James Mcconnell Esq. The
people that travel southwark from Rut-
land village on the east road, when near
the Gold River" bridge, will notice when
passing the House of Mr.. Mcconnell, upon
the east piazza, double seated splint bot
toned chair This chair is the relic that
we would commend to Henry Hall Esq,
or to any other one interested in the cele-
bration. In September 1916 that chair
was nearly or quite new, and Mr.. McCon-
mel and his excellent lady, then bride
and bridegroom, enjoyed their wedding
tour from Rutland north into Canada
seated together in that chair. The fifty
four years that have since elaped have not
changed the appearance of the old chair,
as much as that of the owners. Still the
aged couple are quite hale, and seem to
enjoy the evening of their life, and we
doubt not could be induced to appear in
the village seated together in that "old
arm chair" for the delight of their
numerous younger friends, and we would
further remark that Mr.. McConnell's
house and out-buildings, are full OF
articles that belong to the last century.
We were much interested in the graphic
description that Mr.. Mcconnell gave us
of the trip in that chair. The year was
the one known as the Gold Season." and
people that are now complaining of the
urE vii ~~-, sa,.n, SOMA idea of that
year by hearing the relation of that aged
| couple. He mentioned that at the hotels
where they would stop they would be in
formed that they could have grain and
fodder for their horses, but no water.
They would have to drive off without
giving their horses any drink, and often
stop upon the road, and unharness, and
let down the fence, and lead the team
down through the fields to a hollow in
hope to find a stream that was not dry.
His description of the crop that year, also
the state of the roads, modes of travel,
etc. all had deep interest, but we fear
that we shall make this article too long to
mention more.
