An Unanswerable Argumenr.

The strongest argument which can be urg-

such corrosive and nerve-destroying poisons
as arsenic and quinine for intermittent and
remittent fevers, is the vastly superior
success In the prevention and cure Of such
diseases OF medicine which is the very an
tipode of the above named drugs. both in re-
spect TO its composition and the results
wrought by it. Such a medicine is Hostel

three rousing cheers given, which aroused

THE CANVASS IN VERMONT.
The Representative Question in Brandon


Lively boils the political cauldron in
Brandon. A triangular contest for town
representative Is on the tapis. Turner
Sprague, in order to cave something from
the wreck of his political fortunes, cap
tured the regular republican nomination.
In order to accomplish this, he secured the
employees of the scale shops TO attend the
caucus en- masse and they, accustomed to
obey his behests, when there voted for N.
T. Sprague, jr., and so the nomination was
obtained. Opposed to him are John A..
Conant and Stephen l.. Goodell, both good
men, both men identified with the material
interests of Brandon, as is, also,
Sprague. But the people feel that Sprague
has had enough, that it was time somebody
else was looked upon as the leading repub-
lican politician of the town, and great
effort will be made to defeat him. His
claim for support is that he alone can re-
tain the scale shop.in Brandon, but Colonel
Merrill authorizes the statement that
Spraguc has nothing to do about III tina,
the stockholders decide the question that,
in fact, all the talk about removing from
Brandon has been on the outside of the
town, and has not been talked of by the
stockholders and directors. Sprague'e
great argument falls to the ground. II he
has any other claim to support, Brandon
people have not found 1t out. The opposi.
ton to Sprague will divide their vote on
Conant and Goodell, with the hope of unit
ing on one or the other in the end. In
speaking of Sprague's interest in the town
our people remember that he somewhat re
sembles Tildcn, is purely selfish man
and he showed this by refusing to give {
cent toward the recent fourth of July cele
bration, while Conant and Goodel wcrt
liberal contributors. Ali these things tell
and their influence will be feet at the cleo
ton. Expect the election of either Conan
or GOodell, probably the latter.

Female Treasury Clerks Dismissed.

Sixty female clerks in the registers office
of the treasury found on their return to
their homes Thursday night their dismissals
from Office. 1t was anticipated that if the
sixty unfortunatos were advised while at
their desks that their returning thereto af-
ter the nights sun had set was not expect
ed, scene would ensue which would inter-
fere with the work Of the day. Hence the
treasurer fell back upon the expedient of
first atcartaining the address of those to fall
under the official ban and sending the ILL.,
ive,ed document TO the residence of each.
Il is but the beginning of a long list of Off
clal executions which must subvene be-
tween now and October 10. From the cur
rency division of the treasury, ihe national
bank note RECEPTION agency, a1d the bureau
of engraving and printing. the aggregate
of discharges vi be about 200 employees,
most OF them females. This entails great
suffering upon those cut off from the
means of livelihood, bat the trouble does
not md there. Families are dependent
upon many Of them, and where 200 en-
ployes are dit charged it il safe to assume
that 1000 people feel the force OF the blow.

The annual state election occurs Tues
day, and we may, therefore, look for any
number Of roorbacks, falsehoods put in
circulation with the design of drawing of
votes from the republican ticket. One of
these has already made its appearance. 1t
is published with large headings, printed
in display type, that Hayes has written
letter to General Grant, stating that he in
tended no reflection on the administration
in his letter of acceptance, and that the let
ter is warm in its eulogy of President
" Grant, both as a military leader and as a
" civil leader" Republicans, don't be de-
ceived by this miserable story. Governor
Hayes is not this kind OF a man. The
falsehood is intended so as to deter men
from voting the republican ticket. 1t ia
brought out just at this time to affect the
Vermont election and reduce the rcpubli-
can majority. Don't be deceived.

VOTING BY THE CHECK LIST.

The sclectmen having adopted our sug-
gestion and made arrangements for three
polling places-the highest number allowed
by law-one step has been taken in the
direction of having a full vote on Tuesday
next There are, however. other things to
be done in order that all may have the OPP
poitunty OF voting. Under the statute,
the polls are opened at ten o'clock in the
forenoon, and, for the reception Of votes
for town representative, close at three
O'Clock in The afternoon. The time thu;
allowed for the reception of votes is nine
hundred minutes, or three hundred minutes
at polling place. The check list already
shows names enough to require the recep-
ton of one vote in every twenty-four sec
onls-five votes in two minutes-at each
ballot box in order to give all the oppor-
tunity Of voting. Can votes be received as

Vermont and Maine.

A republican majority in Vermont, next
Tuesday, of twenty to twenty-three thous-
and will have no special significance any
way. AS it rises above the higher figure,
1t will have its moral lessons in favor of
tho republicans as it falls below the
lesser, it will be strongly significant for
the cause of Tilden. The Maine election
comes week later, and, because of Mr.
Blaine's involvment in 1t, the secret divi-
sion of tie party between him and Secre-
tary Morrill,, and its open division with
rival candidates in the first and fourth con-
grsssional districts, there will be much
more interest in getting the results, while,
perhaps, they will have, from these very
local and personal causes, even less nation
al significance. Last year, on very low
vote, the republican majority in the state
WIS cut down to 1000, while in 1872 it was
1000 in September, and $4,000 on pres-
dent in November. If the republican col
umn is going TO remain unbroken through
out the country, this year, the majority
now should be a. least $4,000, for the vote
will be full and anything less than tina.

Dom ocratic Rally at Dandy.

from Mount Tabor and Wallingford, and

earnestness was manifested. l.. W. Red

earnest voters present. 1t was u mastery

Grand Republican Rally at Castloton.

The grandest political demonstration OF
the campaign in Casteton transpired Oh
our streets and in the hall, last Thursday
evening, at which time and place the Hon.
Martin 1. Townshend of Troy administered
most delicious bill of republican fare to
an audience that taxed the hall to its ut
most limit. On opening his telling and
thrilling speech, he said he proposed to put
the republican party On trial for the glori-
Gus deeds they had performed for the ne.
ton during its sixteen years existence. He
fulfilled his mission in that respect to a
charm. He concluded his point by saying
that he thanked God that he was permitte 1
to be member of this party, and that it
was his good fortune to live in this grand
and glorious age AMI day of the ma
TONS history. These passages were rend.
cred most eloquently, and they brought
down the house with rounds Of applause.
The speaker thea proceeded to arragn Til
| den and his crew Of sham reformers before
the mind s.eye Of his audience. He accom-
| plshed his purpose in this direction to a
| dot There was no uncertain sound to his
| ringing words on the public or practical
| character of the Tilden crew, and those
who were going about Vermont, hanging
to their coat-tails, dispensing democratic
doctrine. In concluding his speech of an
hour aud half, he said: "Lct the result
of next Tuesdays election in Vermont be
such as will make not only the country but
the whole world rejoice"
| A liberal contribution Of most excellent
music was discoursed by the band from
West Rutland, and a procession of one
hundred or more from Falrhavon bearing
torches was formed at the west end of
Main street, which, escorted by the band
and the Fairhaven drum corps, proceeded
to the hall. A good sprinkling of appro-
pirate notices, transparenoies and banners,
atten ed the procession, and, altogether,
the exhibition reminded US Of the days of
"little giants and "wideawakes.' At the
conclusion of the exercises at the hall, the
village, or Main street, was bright with
boniifes and illumination' and the torch
light procession, marching and counter
marching through the str ets accompanied
| with cheer after cheer from the multitude
| of those who witnessed the scene and add
| ed enthusiasm and attractions to the occa-
sion. Caslltton republicans will do their
whole duty the first Tuesday in September
1876. The grand finale of the state can
vass wi occur next MONDAY, a. which
time Col. Joyce will be the orator Of the
day, Casileton people and others in this
part of the county will honor him with
their presence as they would no other man
