Last evening the political ball was
fairly set in motion, and received II
most vigorous push, by large Demo
cIatc meeting held mt the City Hall.
Long before the hour for commencing
the Had was filed with Democrats,
who came early, so as to be enabled TO

by able speakers.
About quarter before eight O'Clock,
Elcngcr's brass band came into the
hall, and in two minutes thereafter
every inch of available room was occu-
pied by an interested and eager audi
cncc. Numbers came to the door and
being unable to proceed further, stood
there and listened to the speeches,
while many others had to retire, being
unable to get near enough to hear on
see with any degree of satisfaction.
There were at least six hundred people
crowded into the hall, while, had
there been sufficient accommodations
one thousand would not have mum

VERMONT HIGHwAYs-ANIM IMPORTANT
DECIsIoN-At the late term of the Su-
preme Court in Bennington County, the
Court made highly important decision.
The court holds In substance that where
two parties are passing in vehicles along
a highway within the State, both pro-
ceeding in the same direction, and the
hindmost relns out to pass the other,
in case of injury resulting to the passing
party, the town in which the accident
occurs is liable to him in damages, pro-
vided he exercise ordinary care in at
tempting to pass. In other words, that
the town must keep their highways in
such condition that vehicle may safe
ly pass another which holds to the mid
die of track The case upon which
this decision was rendered arose in the
town of SALISBURY, near the State line.
One Mockler in the night time refined
out and passed the vehicle of Mr.. Percy
and in attempting to get back into the
middle Ct the highway his carriage wal
injured. Mockler sued the town, an(
the decision referred to holds the towr
liable Iroy Press.

The LIQUOR TRAFFIC.-The liquor
traffic has fallen upon troublous times.
What with the praying women at the
West, and Gov. Dingley hauling the
Sheriffs over the Goals at the East for
not enforcing the laws; with the corpor-
alton of Trinity Church, New York,
clearing out all liquor sellers from its
buildings in that city, and the Methodist
Episcopal Church pursuing similar
policy with its property; with the State
Constables harassing the dealers in
Massachusetts as they have never done
before, and with the general awakening
interest all over the country in the con-
test for the suppression of intemperance.
it seems as if the traffic must, by all
these combined assaults, be driven into
closer quarters than ever before. That
the contest will be long and desperate
one no person can doubt, and that the
cause of temperance will win lasting
victories in it only so far as public SEN
timent is brought to sustain it, is equally
clear. The most encouraging ASPECT .oi
the contest at the present time IS the
fact that whole communities are array
ing themselves against the evil, making
a public opinion before which the keep
ers of liquor saloons and groggeries aban
don the traffic, and what is equally i'm
portant, Strengthening those who have
been the victims of intemperance in thei
efforts to reform. Out of all these in
dications the friends of temperance ma,
gather faith to believe that they are t
see the great evil against which the.
war very much circumscribed, and il
many places, we hope, entirely abolish
