a simple accident, near Rutland,

murder. Mrs. Mcclure, a farm-wile,
took load of butter to tho village,
sold 1t for forty dollars, and started
alone to drive home. Afterward she
was found lying dead on the floor of
her carriage, with her head terribly
bruised and her money gone. The
theory OF robbery and murder found
ready credenoe. Later. the truth ex-
planned it all. She had died of heart

the carriage. which had made the
bruises. and tho money had been spent
in paying bills in the viilnge.

dress paraded the streets in Hoboken,

passing, a small cannon was brought

by running in front of tho cannon and
were ordered away. John Sweeny,

just as it was fired, and his right leg

POLAND DrFEArED.--No CHOICE.


The result Of the vote on Tuesday in this
district was defeat Of Poland such as he
will not recover from. Il is but natural to
presume that the Poland ring, however, will
notwillingy giveup the fight yet, but will rail-
ly with the war-cry, Anything to beat Dem
ison," and probably Judge Wheeler will DO
brought to the front as their candidate for
this purpose. It is generally understood
that Wheeler was Poland's candidate for his
successor whenever he should be ready to va
cate his seat 10 Congress He has been call
cd upon by the voice Of the people to vacatc
that seat before no was quite prepared to do
so, the senatorial nest not being yet ready
for him, but that must not put the Office out
Of the control Of the ring, il they can retain
that control. Personally, Judge Wheeler
has good record, and would make good
run, but to bring him forward now, when
the people in an untrammeled election have
pointed out another man by decided plu.
rality as their choice, would only be sure to
result in his defeat, and We presume hc will
sec it so and keep clear Of the odor of the
ring, so distasteIul to the people, until he
sees better opening than this. But there
is no law to prevent him or any other Poland
man IRON committing political suicide, il he
sees fit to do so.
However, Denison's friends have only ia
stick by him, and give him the same vote
they have already given, to elect him in No
vember. OF course the Mead votes will
mainly go for Deuison next time, as they
can never be carried by Poland or PolanC
candidate, ard so We see very little chance
to expect anything but the election of d. Q
Denison to fill Judge Poland's place in the
next Congress. But then, doubtful thing
being mighty uncertain, positive prediction
would be out of the question. Probably the
next two weeks will develop the plan Of
action of the defeated party, if they have
any, though we can see little encouragement
for them to work.
The following is the congressional vote SC

Money Made Easy.

A correspondent at Nlorristown, n. j.,
sends us circular from Rumble aud Co.,

announces that said firm carries on a bank

cred a new system whereby persons at dis

stocks and speculate Wan absolute Sqtety.'
The circular states that investments can be
made at any figure from $40 upwards, and
that many old customers, "who commenced
thousands"
Well, of the firm Of Rumble and Co. we
know nothing. But this we do know-that
tho circular is n fraud on the face Of it.

PARTY CAuCIlSES


The vote on Tuesday pretty fully verified
the claim on which the bolt was based that
the caueuscs did not give fair expression
Of the will Of the people, or of the party
In eight towns in this county the republican
vote at the polls has been contrary to that
in tho caucuses, some changing from a largo
majority on the one side to a correspondingly
large ono on the othor. In the rest Of the
district the same state Of facts can be seen,
and il is difficult to see how any fair minded
person, in view Of the fact that these votes
have been cast not only in opposition to the
action Of the town caucuses but against the
regular nominee Of the party, can still advo-
cate the present caucus system.
The position which the boilers took that
the decision Of the convention was not the
decision Of the party has been trumphantly
endorsed. or course many men who would
have preferred either Denison or Mead to
Poland have voted for Poland because he
was the nominee Of their party. Still in the
face of this and in the face of the influence
and patronage at the disposal Of the Judge,
in the face Of the steady, persistent, organ
lied work done by the Poland party, and in
tho face of the fact that /" the opposition has
no candidate" which has been so earnestly
announced by the Poland organs, even the
candidate nominated by the boiling delegates
having neglected to come out with a square
acceptance of that nomination, Judge Poland
has failed to carry his own town, county, or
the district.
We have before specified few towns
where the caucus did not express the will of
peoples how have they proved?
In st. Johnsbury, where a majority of the
republican vote was conceded to Poland, the
proportion of that vote in his favor proves
much less than at the caucus
In Walden, where few Poland men met
in caucus, elected Poland delegates, and ad.
journed, all within few minutes, the anti.
Poland majority is 46.
In Barnet which was carried in the eau
Gus by the circulation of the lie that Mead
had Withdrawn from the field, there is a
majority of 80 against Poland.
Randolph was captured by Poland in the
caucus by shrcwd trickery, aud now the
voters come down with a majority of 33S
against him.
The fact is evident to everyone that the
judge is not the choice of the freemen of this
district. He had so manipulated caucuse:
as to get the nomination, and hoped through
fear of the party whip to hold the republican
voters to their nomination, but said voters
seem to have a mind Of their own, and arc
not quito willing to be traded for at the will
Of few leaders. Ii is a noticeable fact
that nearly all the towns which have gone
in opposition to the caucuscs sent Poland
delegates to the convention

What the Papers Said Before Election

SO far as any organization may be said to
exist against the Judge in Caledonia County,
the management of it would seem to be in
the hands OF Polanl men. With what
little organization it has in the hands Of its
enemies, aud such feeble support from tho
press there does not seem to be chance to

district seems not to make much Roadway,

The mass of republicans in this district ac-

leving it fair expression Of a majority OF
the voters of the district, as shown by their
delegates. Bradford Opinion.

convention but now gives him only 80 votes

Judge Poland is serving his fourth term

What will come Of this bolt is ques.

to predict before Mr.. Denison is heard from
as he is the party most interested in THU
matter but on the supposition that he has
common sense, wo think most will admit
that tho child is stil-born. If he does moi
repudiate such things, the people will be
very apt to repudiate him,-CaiedoaiaA.
