The Irish For Grant.

A good many Irish are going for
Grant this year. We hear of some in
this place. AT Brattleboro quite num-
Der support Grant, and are active Off
GERS and members of the Grant and Will
son club there; among them are job
Long, Thomas Lynch and Patrick Moore.
They take the ground that the country
is prosperous under the present admins
tration, and labor commands good wages,
and they also have an eye to the fact
that in case of any trouble with Eng
land, Grant is the man they want at the
head of the nation.

Swapping Horses.

We regard it misfortune to our
great legislative bodies, and a calamity
to the peoble, that the complexion of
these bodies ia SO constantly changing.
A man who approves himself as an able
and consistent legislator can not be set
aside without prejudice to the civil ser
vice. The new man, his successor, has
his position to gain and his influence to
secure. He barely attains them when
another clamorer is after his place.
The loss of such man as Senator
Patterson, of New Hampshire, will be
felt in the United States Senate, in this
District, and especially in his native
State, for the length of Senatorial
term. 1t is not to be expected that his
successor, even if the Senator's equal
can exert the same influence without a
legislative experience of equal duration.
We are informed, too, that it is pro-
posed to substitute some new man in
the House, for Judge Poland, of Yer
mont. We shall deplore it very much.
There is scarcely more influential or
laborious man in that body ; and during
the present Congress the Judge has been
especially serviceable as a member and
often chairman of the Ku-Kiux Commit
tee. The nation can not see him omit
ted from her legislative counsellors
without remonstrance nor can the no.
BILE State he represents do herself great
er injustice than to permit it to be done.
The Judge is man who by his candor,
moderation, strict integrity, ready wit,
as we'll as his New England purity Of
life, is an honor to his constituency and
to the nation. Vermont should let him
continue to represent her sturdy Repub-
licanism.- Washington Chronicle.

The Young Mems Flag.

Just before the opening of the meeting
at Union Hall last Friday evening, the
young men threw out their new flag
from the north end Of Union Block
across the street. 1t is most beautiful
flag and pronounced by strangers and
travellers the most SO of any they have
seen in New England. At the bottom
are the names "Grant and Wilson, !"
and nearly in the centre in semi-scroll,
the words Young America" and at the
top in Latin, "By this Sign we Con-
quer." The lettering is very neatly done
by George Andrews of this village, who
we all know as a natural born artist in
such things. When swung out it was
greeted with the hearty cheers of the
crowd and music by the Band, and the
young men are not only congratulated
by the old folks" here, but it will nc
doubt be fully appreciated by the crowd
to be here next week.

Visit from a Veteran Typo.
HE is FOR JUDGE POLAND.

HE is FOR JUDGE POLAND.
The Hon. James A. Briggs. Of New
York, who has been on a visit to this
place, and recently made strong speech
for Grant and Wilson at Grafton, came
into our Office few days since, and, in
stead of accepting profiered chair, i'm
mediately went to case" took up a
" stick" and went to work. He gradu-
ated at the Gazette Office at Bennington,
in 1928, and has accepted various posi-
tions of public trust since. For while
he was commercial editor of the New
York Tribune. He stood at the case
for few moments and composed di-
rectly from " head to stick " short
paragraph, and here it is, type and all,
which we are happy to cordially endorse ;
The election of honest, faithful, capa-
ole public servants is at all times matter
of Importance. AT this time it is imper-
atiyely so. Is it not best then, for the
people of this District to reelect Judge
POLAND, to Congress? To honor him is
but to honor themselves His retire.
ment from Congress at this hour would
be great loss to the country as his ex-
perience in legislation, and his aeknowl-
edged legal ability are invaluable.

SPRINGFIELD. - The people of
Springfield are wide awake. Hereiswhere
Greeleyism has made its strongest i'm
precision in this section of the State.
But already more than half the origin
al number claimed for Greeley, are out
for Grant and more are coming. Many
of the discussions there among them
selves have been short, sharp and de-
cisive." Two large meetings held there
last week addressed by Judge Poland
and Hon. G. w. Willard, and they send
us word that on the Both they are COM
ing down here by the hundred All

Springfield in coming down here on

masse. We are also Informed that they
will bring their torches and join in the

the gala appearance Of the Square this
