lege. Let Us all uncover, and let Aldrieh
take our hat.
And yet how prosaically the Montpelier
telegraph operator told the tale of the deed
that made Aldrich immortal He simply
reported that Aldrich had informed the
Electoral College of Vermont, as they were
about to commence business on Wednesday.
that he would like to take part in their de.
liberations; that the College refused to
crafty his prepostcrOus request that there
upon he protested, voted for Tilden, elected
himself messenger to carry the result of his
ballotlng to Washington. and then went
his way. Have these Vermont telegraph
people no finer feelings, no susceptibilities
that they must render great epic in this
juiceless, periunctory style? However, the

calling Aldrich to order and nominating
Adrieh as President of the College. Aldrich
puts the motion and Aldrich is declared

erations of Aldrich. Then Aldrich an
nounces that if there is no objection AID
rich will act Secretary. and that he will
appoint Aldrich two tellers to count the
vote of ildrich. Then. while Aldrich is
preparing his ballot, Aldrich announces that
he is sure that Aldrich would be glad to
hear the views of Aldrich in regard to the
political situation, and tiercupon Aldrich,
amid loud applause from Aldrich, remarks
that he thinks that bull-dozing in Louisiana
was not an outrage, but that it was an out
rage for Mr.. Chandler to act as chairman
Of the Republican National Committee At
the conclusion of Aldrich's address Aldrich
is heartily congratulated by Aldrich, after
which Aldrich proceeds to vote. Aldrich
in his character of two tellers, having can
vassed the vote, Aldrich announces that
the vote of Aldrich has been unanimously
cast for Tilden and Hendricks Aldrich

handsomely entertains Aldrich at Aidrieh's

of thing is much easier imagined than de-
scribed. But Aldrich's journey from Yer

can hope adequately t. discourse of the
theme? We will simply venture to predict
that he will be awarded the right Of way
