New Candidate for Auditor.
WETzEL COUNTY, Jan. 81, 1876.
Editors of the Register.
Having noticed numerous communica-
tions from other counties in regard to the
coming political canvass, and none from
here, thought that word from Demo-
cratic Wetzel might help those who are
fixing up the democratic slate This
is known as the banner Democratic coun-
ty. No tidal wave of fanaticism or Rad
icalism ever affects US. The party man
ayers always know that Wetzel is to be
depended upon, but our majority has
never been what it should be, for the
want of proper stimulus to bring out
full vote. With nearly 2,2OO voters,
and not more than 500 of
these Radical, our majority hardly
ever exceeds 500, when it
could be made 1900, and all that Is nee
essary to make it so is for the coming
State convention TO give us place on
the ticket. We have never had candi-
date for State or Congressional Office.
All that has been expected of US was to
furnish the votes This we have done
cheerfully, but begin to think that if ITO
the victor belongs the spoils," after hav
ing helped achieve so many Democratic
victories, If we can furnish men OF sterl-
ing integrity, undoubted capacity and
peculiar fitness for the position, our
claims should be recognized. We have
number of reliable Democrats in our
county who would do honor to any posi-
ton within the gift of the people
and of this number none are better
qualified or more worthy than NJ. r.
Grouse, Esq whose name well be presented
to the Convention as candidate for
Auditor. A Democrat when to be one
was not so popular as now; gentleman
possessing the Jeffersonian qualifications
of honesty and capacity, his name would
add strength to the ticket, and his election
secure to the State an honest, efficient and
capable officer.
The contest will undoubtedly be aclose
one, but let the party place the right kind
of men on the ticket and Wetzel will do
her share by rolling up majority for
the whole ticket that will surprise even
the most sanguine. Respectfully,
DEMOCRAT.

Death of William Whitford, ESQ.

Last Thursday, Mr.. William Whitford
passed to "the bourne from which no ira
Weller returns at the advanced age of 95
years.
He was born at SALISBURY, VT, August
ID, 1881, and removed to Addison more
than 20 years ago, where he has since re-
sided. Mr.. Whitford, through all his active
life, was prominent and influential citizen
of the town of Addison, and filled nearly
every official position within the gift of its
people. He was an active member of the
masonic fraternity, having belonged to
that organization over 20 years, being a
member of Morning Sun lodge, No. 5, of
Bridport. During the anti masonic eX-
element he remained steadfast with the
order, and was several times expelled from
the church for his strong principles, and
was alenated from many personal friends
owing to the popular prejudice then exist
ing.
At the time of his death he was prob
ably the oldest freemason in the state. The
funeral was at the residence Of his son,
| Gardiner B. Whitford of Addison, on Sun
day, May II, where religious exercises
were conducted by Rev. d. y. Taylor OF
Rouses Point, N. Y, who delivered an
impressive discourse including brief his
tory of the deceased. The services were
largely attended and many aged citizens
we're present, among whom II. f. Bree-
wort, esq.,, aged SO, Hon. Jonas n. Smith,
aged "a, and many others over 70. His
oldest son, VIM. Whitford, jr., was "
years of age. The pail bearers were Jesse
Crane, Truman Smith, AFRO Benton,
Joseph Barber. Many of the masonic fra
ternity were present but owing to some
misunderstanding did not take charge OF
the burial service as was intended. Il.

" VERMONT POLITICS. {"

We published yesterday morning, as a
curiosity in its way, letter on "Vermont
politics" written by Woodstock cor
respondent of the Springfield Republican.
Here in Vermont such q letter needs no
comment, as its absurditY is apparent on
its face but, without the state, if the
statements are permitted to go unquestion-
ed, it may create wrong impression rela-
tive to Vermont men and Vermont politics.
The letter can boast of more misstatements
to the line, than the correspondent says
the state can boast of "incipient statesmen
to the acre, or the larger towns can num-
Der of office seekers among the voters.
There is just enough of truth in the letter
to color the misrepresentation, and to
form a foundation on which to base ridl-
cule of the honest republican masses OF
the state. The correspondent is, doubt
lass, the same one, who, few months ago,
RECALLED the readers of the Republican with
the statement that the republicans of Yer
mont were In favor of "third term" fol-
Grant, were anxious for his denomination
and would, in case Of his candidacy, give
him an old fashioned rousing majority

Death of BENJAMIN F. Haskell.

Mr.. Benjamin f. Haskell, a widely
known and greatly esteemed citizen OF
Cornwall, died at his residence at West
Cornwall village on Friday evening, May
IL. He had been i'll few days with what
seemed to be bilious attack, but which
did not appear to be of a serious character;
but on Sunday night, May 8, he was
stricken with paralysis and never seemed
conscious afterward.
Mr.. Haskell was born at Hardwick,
Mass, March ., 1901, and was the tenth
child OF George and Comfort Haskell of
that place. Abaut the year 1928, soon
after obtaining bis majority, he removed
to Bridport, Vermont, where, June s, 1925,
he was married TO Mrs. Lucy A. Drury,
the Daughter Of Asa and Sarah Hemen-
way of Bridport, who died October 12,
1926.
In the spring of 1926, just half century
ago, Mr.. Haskell removed to West Cornwall
where he continued to reside until the day
of his death he was married January 10,
1927, to Miss Betsey Stockwell, the
daughter of Joshua S,ockwell, esq.,, who
was then prominent citizen of Cornwall.
He Immediately engaged himself in the
mercantile business at West Cornwall and
continued in trade until 1865, period of
thirty eight years, building himself, in the
meantime, handsome residence and store,
the latter being still occupied by his sue
cessors in business. For period of ff-
teen years or more Mr.. Haskell was the
postmaster at West Cornwall, dscharging
his duties with fidelity and TO general &C.
ceptance until he relnqushed the position
in 1868.
During Mr.. Haskell's long business ca
recr he was brought into intimate relations
with the people of Cornwall and the sur
rounding towns, and by his accurate busl-
meas habits, and strict integrity. retained
their fullest COT fidence and esteem. lie
manifested deep interest in religious and
educational matters, and was constant
attendant upon the services OF the church,
and at the Sabbath school until the last.
His funeral was attended at his late resi-
dence on Sunday afternoon, May IA, where
the religious services were conducted by
the Rev DIR. Magill assisted by Rev. DR..
Archibald of Cornwall. A large number
of Mr.. Haskell's friends from Cornwall,
Bridport, Shoreham, Middlebury and other
towns, were present. The remains were
removed on the following day TO Ogdens-
burgh, N. Y, for interment.
Mr.. Haskell's wife survives him, after
nearly fifty years of married life, and four
of their five children, to wit BENJAMIN
f. Haskell, jr., who has lived in Troy, N.
Y, for many years, but now resident of
Middlebury S. Dickinson Haskell, OF
Chicago, ILL.,; Charles w. Haskell, of Fon
du Lac, Wisconsin and Mrs. Harriet 4,
wife of Hon. S. G. Pope, of Ogdensburgh,
N. Y. One son, ID. ID. Haskell, who was
a graduate of Mddlebury college, died
several years since.
Thus has passed away in the ripe full
ness of age a genial, intelligent christian
gentleman of the old school, who has filled
a large space in the business history of the
town of Cornwall in the expiring century
and another link which unites the present
to the past is forever broken and cannot be
replaced.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

The position of the Bank of France is
the most remarkable ever held by finan-
cial institution in the world. Its bills, like
our greenbacks, are forced currency
are legal tender in all business transac-
tlons but, although specie payments are
suspended, pass current at the same value
as gold. A Bank of France note for one
hundred francs will purchase one hundred
francs in gold. The fact that Its vaults
contain larger amount of specie than
was ever before accumulated in similar
institution, does not fully account for the
fact that its bills are at par with gold, be-
cause during the darkest days OF the
Franco-German war, when Paris was
closely invested and one-third of the de-
partments of France were occupied by the
German army, its bills were only at dis
count of two or three per cent. 1t owes
its high position, undoubtedly, to the fact
of its admirable management, which gives
the people confidence in ts intention and
ability to, at an early day, redeem its is-
sues in specie. And 1t 10 because there Is
not such confidence In the intention OF
the United States that our treasury notes
