The Hasokeye says it understands
that negotiations are pending to have
joint discussion between Kirkwood
and Lefles. Let Il come. The meet
ing Of these two men in debate will
enlist people to come out and hear the
Issues Of the day discussed, more than
anything we know of. The cause Of
Republication has nothing to fear in a
free ventilation ON the stump, and
with such cause and such speaker,
the canvass proposed, will do much to
get out . full vote Of the Republicans,
which IL just tho thing needful for a
large majority. We fear, however,
that cunning Ed. Campbell, Chairman
Of the Anonymous party's State Com
mittee, win steer just % far clear of
such . discussion % possible, and II
accepted 1t Ill, he will cut down the
joint discussions to the smallest poss-
ible number.

Large Fire AZ Rutland.

$50 900 WORTH OF PROPERTY DESTROYED.
About half past ten o'clock, last Thurs
day night, Chester Kingsley's grocery store
--familiarly known az the sold Red Store"
on Merchants Row, Rutland, was dis
covered 10 lie on FIRE. The tiremen were
promptly on hand, butthe flames had gain
ed such headwsy that all efforts 10 stay their
progress were Intellectual, aud shortly the
adjoining building, the old Central House,
was ablaEe and WAS soon one mass of fame.
While these buildings we're still on Gre
second alarm was sounded, and this time
1t proved to be the rear basement of the
premises OF Ryan & Balcheller dealers in
stoves at No. 81 Centre street. The flames
In an incredibly short space OF time reach
cd the front part Of the shop and burst out
In one huge, overwhelming volume OF
dame and smoke which rushed away out
we'll In the street The FIRE soon caught in
to the brick block next east, known as
Nsriden block. Tue first store In this was
unoccupied, the second was occupied by
C. E. Cushmsn, as a liquor store, and the
third, or east one, by II. s. Howe, asa
candy mandatory. The upper portion
was occupied by families, who moved out
with part of their goods previous 10 this.
Mallon's block next caught, and several
private residences on William street were
also Gestroyed. AT O'Clock Friday morn
ing the fire was under control. The total
loss experienced from the Ore is estimated
ks-Sb iiSSisi ~ $50, coo to 800 1000.
There il little doubt that these fires were
the preneditated work of incendiaries,
This is the only possible way in which to
account for the fire breaking out as it did
In both places where no tire had been kept
for some hours, and at nearly the same
time. Another cause for believing that ii
was incendiarism is the fact that an at
tempt was made, while both fres were
blazing, to set Hrs TO Mr.. Leases harness
shop, next door but one TO the Berwick
House. Fire was laid in the basement and
burst forth In the rear shop. By strenu-
Gus efforts Of the owner, who was in the
building at the time, the flames were
quenched.
