TIE SINGER.
The World FayOritr.

THE SALES of the SINGER last year
was the greatest ever attained for
any Sewing Machine in Il year, and was
nearly double the sales Of its highest
competitor, as may he seen by reference
to the account of sales for 1873. from
sworn returns made to the owners of the
Sewing Machine Patent-trom which
statistics we select the five leading ma
chimes, viz:
The Singer sold 232,!l4
Wheeler e. Wilson, 9,l90
Domestic, 4O,1A
Grover & Baker, 96,l76
Weed, 2l,769
It will be observed that tho difference
in favor of the SINGER, is the en- rmous
amount of 1884 over the highest COM
petitor. This result has been obtained
after years of competition.
We s,lmit to an interested public if it
is claiming too much to say the Singer
is the most popular Sewing Machine in
the world.

can have the brazen cheek to grant
such claim as that of Myers, the fact
ofwlich they are even afraid to pub

we might bow in silence to a judgment,
however severe it might be, would be but
too well deserved But as the evidence is
not all in and all of the parties cognizant
of facts in the case have not had as yet an
opportunity to testify, you are certainly
premature IN your judgment.
You are too as certainly unjust in con-

mitted ms defense. Right here let me say
that a great and over-anxety has been cx-
hibted on the part Of the press and the
public to get at the facts and results at

in self-defence and undoubtedly not without
counsel, and in duty to himself and his adj

most ample time TO fully and finally present

the ArgVs Gazette and Sentinel, that they
may know what their duty is. Republican
delegates will, ofcourse, follow this dlsin-
terested democratic advice, and then where
are we? Perhaps when these astute cdi-
tors read the result of the Mddlebury con-
venton they will find that sticking their
fingers in their neighbours pie Is labor
thrown away. We can assure them of our
hearty sympathy in their assured dsap-

AN ELEMENT OF STRENGTH

The nominating convention for the first
congressional district of Vermont assem-
bles, at Middlebury, at noon tomorrow,
Wednesday. 1t is rather late in the day to
make predictions as we shall know the re-
suit so soon, but nevertheless we are will
prophet on the assertion that Colonel
Charles II. Joyce of Rutland will be the
nominee of the convention. Surely, if
any opinion can be formed from the names
the delegates, such must be the result.
Still Mr.. Willard has an element Of strength
GIVE suppose it must be an element of
strength (?) or it would not hayc been in
voked-w which, perhaps, must not be over
looked. In this part of the state there are
three democratic newspapers -two in the
district and one out of it. The Montpelier.
Argus and Bennington Gazette are located
within the district, while the Sentinel, of
Burlington, is in the third district-the dis
trict whose newspapers are SO anxious
that Vermont should only be represented
in Congress by men of ability and talent.
These three newspapers, with one excep-
ton, constitute, we believe, the whole dem
ocratic press of Vermont. In times
past, it will of course be remem-
bered, that when republican governors
or congressman we've to be nominated
or elected, and Vermont elects no others.
it has been the custom. we presume-we
only judge from the present course of
these three newspapers-fo republicans to
remain quietly at home and let the demo-
Gratis make their nominations and elections
for them. This would be perfectly
proper and natural course to pursue, too,
you know. For what have the republicans
Of Vermont, with n ma jOrily over all OPP
position ranging from twenty-five to fifty
thousand votes, TO say in reference to their
state officers or Representatives in Con
gressy Such being the case, we must not
forget that the AGus, Gazotte and Sentinel
are laborng to their utmost for the renom-
ination of Mr.. Willard. Week after weel,
they fire off their editorials, or fill their COL
umns with correspondence, in his favor
and in disparagement of Colonel Joyce and
his friends. AS republicans are 50 ant TO
seek advice from democratic leaders. and
so fond of following unsought suggestions
from the same source, who can tell what
effect these papers, that devote themselves
to the endeavor to seek Our good because
they love us SO much, may have upon the
delegates to the convention? We shall
expect to see each and every delegate, as
soon as the ballot is announced TO be in

Our contemporary, which claims to be
par ercelIence the organ and advocate of
the temperance party, says in an editorial,
Monday, that ''local option has never been
satisfactory to the friends of temperance "
Is this 50? Then our own reading leads us TO
an entirely different conclusion although
after Nermont's experience, some years
ago, we could never see how any true
temperance man could favor it. Within
less than two years, and again within the
year, the "New York state temperance con-
vention' expressed itself very decidedly in
favor of local option" Within the same
time, the leading temperance men of that
state prepared with great care a local
option liquor law" and a strong pressure
was brought by them to bear on the leris.
laturc to secure ito passage, and 1t was
passed as distinctive Temperance measure.
There was great rejoicing thereat, and con-
gratulatory meetings were held in several
parts of the state, until Governor Dix's
veto put stop to the rejoicing Governor
Dix was Immediately tabooed by all the
temperance men of the state, and they are
his bitter opponents to-day, and for this
reason alone. But for this opposition,
coming from temperance men, only be-
cause he vetoed the "local option BILL
there would be no question of his renomi-
nation this fall AS it is, he may be re-
nominated, although the distinctive tenn
perance men declare they will not vote for
him on account of his opposition to "local
option" How can it be said that 'local
"option has never been satisfactory to the
"friends of temperance" when it is known
that years ago it was the law in Vermont
as temperance measure, and the more re-
cent action in New York =?

Hugh Young resides at Hampton, Wash
ington county, Il few feet from a stream ot
water that at that place forms the boundary
between Rensselaer, and Washington conn.
ties. lie formerly kept saloon in Wash
lngton county, but upon the passage of n
prohibltory liquor act in that locality, he
transferred his stock TO Rensselaer, county.
Just opposite bridge crossing the stream
Inc Hampton drinkers would cross the
bringe, get drunk, and go to Hampton to
sober up, and all the efforts of the temper
ance people to stop it were unavailing.
one day two men, one of them United
states marshal, unknown to Young, en-
tered the saloon and wanted to purchase
some liquor. For some reason Young did
not want to sell to him, and he accordingly
told them that he did not sell in less guam
titles than five gallons, which is contrary to
the wording Of his license. Accordingly
the Jealous official arrested him for attempt
ing to violate the excise law, and in an ex-
animation recently before Commissioner
samport of this city, he was held to await
the action of United States grand jury.
The best of the story is that the Washington
courts now claim that the stream is not the
boundary line, and it transpres that Young,
who has paid taxes in Rensselaer, county,
will also huve to pay them in Washington
county.
