proceeded to discuss the causes of the
financial troubles. There never were &c
many business failures as now. 1t came
of the stealing rings, who had the places
of power. from the highest down to the
lowest officials of country town. There
were rings among the doctors, for IL case
of malpractice occurred in their profession
they all rallied to screen their associate
from harm. SO there was a ring Of bank
presidents 10 secure the highest rate of in
terest. One-fourth of the people were
oilice-holders, and they live upon the other
three-fourths. lie felt confident of the
election of democratic president. The
people have been ridden down by the rings
and the ann of business parslyzed, but the
day of reform was coming.
Solomon w. Jewett was then called upon
to speak,
He said he talked little, but thought
much. He was satisfied tho country was
full of rings, from the highest down to the
preceding speaker had said upon that sub.
ject. Millions will be poured out by the
republicans to carry the coming election.
He had always been democrat. He began
by peddllng votes for Jacksons first cleo
ton, in 1928. and voted for him at his
second election, so he had voted for demo-
Gratis all along down through, even for
Breckenridge and Mcclellan, aud he ex-
pected to continue, although he thought
he must change when he saw such trans
actions in Rutland caucus as were enact

cratic state convention at Montpelier. He
thought then he did not care much where
he stood politically.
Calls were made for L w. Redington,

Mr.. Valquette then said, "He was as
good democrat as there was in the hall
V. G. Meyerhoffer said there was no
question ss to Mr.. Valiquette's democracy,
and be did not like to see him ostracised in
