The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-26

ner being dispatched, we spent very plea
SAINT afternoon in rambling through the
woods which skirt the river. The latter Is
Tar below the bank on which we stood,
having worn It's ra'sage thus deeply by
| centuries of leaping and boiling over the
solid rock. The falls themselves would
hardly have inspired the poet as those at
Lodorc did, but there is considerable tum-
Bile to them after ALL and, rocks and all,
the place is quite interesting. Then, be-
ing sufficiently tired, we supped and started
for home. Found a providential sprinkle OF
rain had settled the dust all the way from
little above Cavendish, though there was
not drop tell on US. There were preecnt
inhabitants of three different states aud six
different towns, and as we dispersed with
the best of good feeling we felt that 1t was
one of the bright days of our lives. With
little alteration the words Of the old song
are quite applicable
"such rumbllpg. tumbling, tearing away,
Such wilowing billowing, leaplng spray,
Just Ike our neighbours washing day
Was the trip to Cavendlsh Falls, sirs.p
We understand the numerous members
of the genus Holden contemplate similar
excursion. If its a leap year get up, like
the other, we shouldn't mind going again
its nice to have the girls drive and pay
the bills.
The school 10 district No. 8 will have a
picnic at the close of the term, September
Sth. The band will participate and a good
little time is expected.
The blackberry crop is very abundant
this year also the apple crop.
We see "a Delegate has again rushed
into print with half column OF quotation
marks. Sorry our mention of his limited
experience so disturbed him. His argu-
ments are so puerie, as hardly to deserve n
reply, but some gross inaccuracies we can
not suffer to pass by. The light of sub
sequent events has perhaps, done as much
for our friend, as for ourself, os most of
his newspaper arguments have been
those obtained since the caucus,
though, heaven knows, he tried hard
enough TO present some on that
occasion. He even seeks for consolation
from the democrats, and like drowning
man catching at straw, rskes over the re-
port of tho last democratic congressional
district convention for relief, but is too
dull to see that the word "now" in the mo-
ton there made makes 1t as widely differ
ont from his silly one, rs two motions
could possibly be. 1t was there move
with reference to time, Only, and not desig-
mating how the election was to be made
Besides, who would think of going to such
a place for correct parliamentary practice.
The maker of that motion and the presi-
dent of the convention both together have
not the experience of ga delegate" and that
is saying very little for them indeed, al
though they didn't betray the only ignorance
In this case, as proved above. His para
graph relative to Col. Joyce has not the
slightest bearing on the question at issue.
Acclamation is perfectly proper where only
one man is in nomination. and ls Just what
did not first take vote to elect by accla-
nation, and then another doing so. 1t was
all done in one motion as the records show.
You must learn to discriminate, my friend
of unlimited experience Further, "a dele
gate says he did not claim the right to de-
bate his motion. This is a mistake. In
the beginning of the wrangle some one
called for order, saying "there Is no mo-
ton before the house" He quickly replied
Eyes, there is my notion Every man
present will testify to this, and that he then
went on with tho debate, or rather with
a TRADE of cheap slang against
tho other ex-representatiye. All, he does
confess TO one mistake in debating the
question of order at that stage" Isn't here
a confession that he did some debating"
on the question Had he been as frank in
confessing his other blunder as he was in
this his reputation" had stood better to-
day than it does. He goes on to quote the
secretary. Well, his testimony is as good
as any other mans who was present. and
no better. He sat like Stoughton bottle
with no pen or ink before him and only
had on his "record" the names of the Off
GERS of the meeting, and the delegates
elected, as l can testify for l copied from
the the paper the names and sent them to
TIE GLOBE. He gays it is fortunate my
excess of modesty, etc. Is the gentleman
serious Or is he only mildly sarcastic
upon himself Let us hope, lest he get a
reputation for something the opposite of
modcsty, that it is the latter. He says
there was no argument made. We have
only to refer to his first article in the pa
per to prove this statement false, as he
there enlarges at some length about his ar
guments and struggles to save his reputa-
ton call of which was of no use," etc. The
gentleman may now have the floor ad fin
en-. If he has learned a lesson, am glad,
but shall here let the matter drop. /
presume he will now descend to slang as
he did at the caucus but shall mot take"
or pay any more attention to his 'simple
suggestions" -
