From these it appears that the Republicans would feel sure of the state were it not for the Greenback third ticket which. it is feared, will draw more from the Republican, than from the Demo. cratic vote. As it is, all is in doubt.

Most of our Centennial visitors com. plain of great fatigue and there has been two cases of sickness under the doc. tors care. All are better.
 MT. F. c. Tallmadge and Robert Swift, G. P. Tallmadge and John An- drich, left last Wednesday to spend a week or more at the Centennial. On Wednesday afternoon and evening, Secre- tary Northrop, with Professor Apgar, state. superintendent of New Jersey schools, held very interesting meetings here in behalf of education. Mir. Apgar's illustrations in map-drawing with accom-. panying explanations were especially fine, and showed him master of the art. His re- marks on the Centennial exhibit interest ed those who had been there, those who expect to go, and those who will not go. Mir. H. Upson was present, ,by invitation, and made appropriate remarks.

hardly be condemned" he would only be impolitic; thinks the Ray.
 We take exactly the. opposite view of this question. This interference with the political opinions of employees by enn- ployers, on any pretense, is one of the most serious dangers that threaten gov ernment, ''by the people, for the people. :" l The practical effect of such doctrine would be to give every manufacturer in New England control of the votes of all his employees. It would make our gov
 ernment an oligarchy instead of a repub- lie. Nor is this mere speculative ques- tion. Let the editor of the Ray look at the votes of Salisbury, of Sharon, of Can aan, for the past dozen years. During the war, and for year or two after, MT.
 Wm.H. Barnum took little personal inter- est in politics. Of late years he has be. come the controlling political power of the county. Congressional District, and apparently of the State. His manuf9c- turing companies and his business con- nections have been turned to political use and the effect of that change of policy is obvious even to the casual observer in the change of votes. No doubt there have been. large Democratic gains in
 towns where he has no business interests, | but not such enormous changes as are observable in the towns where those in- | terests lie. Mir Barnum in fact bears much the same relation to the politics of l Connecticut, to-day, that great English baron, four hundred years ago, bore to to the politics of that period. His. power lies not so much in his personal ability, great though it may be, as in the number | of votes he can influence. He is the War wick of Connecticut politics, to-day, chiefly Because he exercises exactly the kind of influence over swarms of employ. ees which the Ray thinks ''can hardly be condemned" For our own part we pre- fer the republican to the feudal system. It is with peculiar pleasure that the public hear of the capture or slaughter of four more of the Northfield (Minn. ) bank robbers. Six are now dead or | caught and robbery will probably be a little less bold in the future. The plucky cashier who sacrificed his life in defense of the property of the bank, was hero the country might we'll be proud of.

Washington County Convention.

Let it not be forgotten that the Hepubl.
cans Of Washington county meet in conyen-
ton next Saturday, to select candidates for
county officers. 1t is earnestly hoped that
there will be general rally OF the good aud
true men of the county. And above all, let
none but the best men be put in nomination
for ofIice--men possessed Of the highest abil-
ity and purest character. We owe il 10 our
selves-to the best interests Of the Repub-
lcan party-to the exceptionally heightened
character of our national and state nominees,
that the interest of no individual or section
shall avail to override the highest good
of the whole county 1t is high time to
have the principle settled beyond any contn-
gency that these offices subsist for the ben
eft Of the whole people, aud not with view
to honoring or profting any man or set
of men.
We suppose there will be universal ac-
quiescence in the rule, which has been UNI
broken since the biennial system came into
force of renoninating one of our old sena-
tors. In this case, fortunately, the lot will
fall upon Mr.. Walton, gentleman who, by
his large experience and superior ability as
Legislator, aud unquestioued integrity as a
man, will not only reflect the highest honor
upon the county, but also supply an almost
indispensable need in the Senate For the
new senator, we hear the names of Geo. W
Randall, of Waterbury, and Judge Richard
son, of Waitsfeld, prominently discussed
Both are good men. Some of the younger
portion of the party express Partially for
w. l.. Dillingham;. lie certainly is worthy,
not only of this, but TO 50 up higher-some-
time. Frank Plumley, of Mortified, is said
TO be the coming man for states attorney,
and John l.. Tuttle of Mov pelier, for
sheriff. We hear of no desire TO disturb our
excellent Judge of Probate. For assistant
Judges we have heard mentioned the names
of John NJ Fisher, of Cabot, and Philander
Riford, of Warren. Probably but one new
one will be taken.
An effort will be made to secure one or
more prominent speakers from abroad. Re
turn checks over the railroads will doubtless
be furnished TO those attending the con
ventiou
