and the country would be better off even
with them, than with the best democrat
that could be selected. SO, from that time
down to this morning, we have RETAINED
from all criticisms relative to them or
either of them.
For this reason, the comments of the
Messenger and Standard puzzled us but,
on glancing through file of our paper, we
find a local item that, perhaps, explains
the matter. In THE GLOBE of August &c,
the following item appeared; "The Bur-
" lington Clipper says: 'Sera,or Edmunds,
i" we learn from the Free Press, has gone
d" to Canada, where he will remain during
" the campaign in this state. Col. Joyce
seems to be about the only member Of
" the national congress from Vermont who
" is doing efficient work for his party"
This is all there is Of our offensc. If the
publication of the item stirred up Mr.. Hen
dee and Mr.. Denison to DO their duty, as
we have reason to believe it did, the Clip
per is entitled to all the credit-and we
have no desire to fitch its laurels. If any
attack on Mr.. Hendee and Mr.. Denscn
was concealed in the item-snd we do not
believe there was-tbe Clipper, not TIE
GLOBE, made the attack. Ia any event,
whoever was responsible, these two gentle.
men arc returned to congrc's, and they now
have the opportunity of redeeming their LOST

pect wonders of them, but, having con-
cluded to pick the flint and give them an

The Boss Tweed Story.

No information has yet reached the state
department regarding the alleged arrest of
Tweed in Spain. 1t is undoubtedly the
fact tina. request was made for his arrest,
and the officials believe that he will be de-
livered, if ever captured in Spain, in return
tor similar action on the part of our gov
ernment at various times, aud especially in
the case of Arguillez in 1864. Arguillez
was q Spanish officer on duty in Cuba, and
having captured cargo of slaves, which
had been brought from Africa, was sup
posed to have freed them in accordance
with the law. He, however, had sent them
into the interior, where they were sold, and
Arguillcz escaped TO New York with the
proceeds. On his return to Cuba he was
convicted OF the offence and executed

A ClstletOn correspondent writes us that
the reason why that town did nst increase
her republican majority more than sew II
teen is, that while nearly every democrat
was lively at work, the republicans werl
very remiss, making no arrangements t.
get the voters out, and that, in fact, nearly
seventy-fivc republican voters did not go to
the polls at all. Ali that we can say is
that the republicans have only themselve'
to blame for their small majority, even it,
as another correspondent states, Martin !
Townsend's speech took the wind out OF
their ills, and lett them too disheartered
to complete the canvass as vigorously at
they commenced it. Ttey should have re-
membered that the class MIR. Townsend
represents and defends are always active il

that the only way for republicans to show
that The Iarty still dc serves contidt nee anf

party, whom he sneers at as "miserable re-
"plblical fools" to be as active and vigi
liant IN the endeaVor to maintain that con
troll the party which they have already
secured, and thus assure the continued a.
cendancy OF republicans in the state anC

Fire Near the Centennial Building.

OF the hundreds of our readers who have
visited the centennial grounds, not few
have noticed with surprise and regret the
long line of low, wooden sheds which had
been allowed TO be built along Elm avenue,
opposite the main building, for nearly its
whole length. These sheds, of themselves
dangerous enough, were rendered doubly
so by the uses to which they were put.
Oyster and liquor saloons, ftrolIing elbows,
and shooting-galleries, lighted by kerosene
oil and the various nnsmmable compounds
OF the "gasoine" variety, made a fine nest
for fire to be started under the very caves
OF the building in which is kept the most
valuable aud destructive part of the exhi-
bits. On Saturday large number of these
sheds were happily burned to the ground,
without serious danger to the surrounding
buildings. But had the wind been blowing
as freshly toward the exhibition as it was
from it, the peril would have been by no
means inc, nsiderable. Probably an effort
will be made to renew thee tumble down
structures, but 1t Is to be hoped that the

The Shad Fisheries.

SpRiNGFIELD, Mass, sept. y.
The shad fishing season in Massachusetts
has been growing shorter at both ends for
several ytar,. While Connecticut fisher
men, thanks to Seth Green, have been hav-
ing an unusually abundant catch through
the whole of their usual period, the shad
fishers above Enfield dam, including few
in Connecticut near the Massachusetts
line, claim that recent extensions of that
dam have prevented the annual passage of
the sbad to any great extent, except at a
certain pitch of water, which is of short
duration.
The fishermen had n well attended meet
ing to-day to take initiative steps for the
protection of their rights in the matter.
The old dam was built in 1888 by char
tered corporation, and was but wing from
the westerly side of the river TO the chan
mel, and was merely intended to turn water
into the Windsor locks canal for The pur-
pose of navigation. Mills since Juilt on
the canal want more water, hence the ex-
tensions of the dam. 1t is claimed that
mutitudes of young sha1 are turned by the
dam on their way to the sea into the canal
and destroyed by the mill wheels, but the
shad fishermen were not the only COM
plainants.
1t was stated that the water was four
feet higher ct Pecowsic than before the
building of the last dam, and high waite r

Central Vermont railroad or George w.

also made several speeches, though hardly

The DANNY Soldiers Politics.

Editor Rutland Globe We noticed
communication from A. S. Baker, of this
town, in THE GLsm of September 4, in
which he attempts to correct statement
we made IN THE GLOBE several days ago,
in reference 10 the soldiers OF Dandy. He
says our statement is so grossly incorrect
that simple justice Stems to demand cor
rec,ion." This is q modest way of telling
person he lies Now some of our repnb-
lican friends seem to be very sensi i've, for
some reason, but they do not hesitate to
state things incorrectly themselves, and
are always ready to dispute facts stated
upon the other side. They expect to win
by blufling, instead of good, fair reasonable
talk. Now we did state in THE GLOBE of
August %, that 'nine out of sixteen of the
soldiers who served in the late war, from
this town, now resident here, are Tilden
men, We still claim this to he fact, as
we have the proof at hand to corroborate
our statement. We mean, of course, the
soldiers who were credited to this town, as
any person of ordinary intelligence would
know from reading the item. Let us see,
now If Mr. Baker has not made state
ment which, to use his own language, sis
so grossly incorrect that simple justice de-
m nds correction" He says, 1--WE find
90 soldiers of the late war residing in town.
OF this numbe 12 are republicans" etc
THIS shows that Mr.. Baker is not posted
upon the subject under consideration, as
he has not .tated the case correctly, either
int ntonally or through inadvertence. The
fact in the case is. we have % soldiers of
the late war residing in town. OF this
number Is will vote for Tilden and Hen
bricks and - for Hayes and Wheeler.

are any doubts las TO their political pro-

our friend Mr.. Baker to inform himself
next time before attempting to dispute
facts. J.C. W,
