- When a New England state pre-
SCENTS Il candidate of the distinguished
character. ability. patriotism. and hon
rrahle record of Mr.. Blaine. and that
candidate stands before the country to-
day aS the foremost advocate and de
fender of all that we have fought for a>
il party in the past. and is in the fullest
sympathy with all the reforms that We
struggle for i'll The present and hope for
in the future. Vermont is not the state
to look further and run the risk of do
ing worse. Her people are not apt to
he dazzled 10y new lights. however much
they may admire them. Her farmers
are not i'll the habit of putting of their
strong and truSty wheel horses hccau>t.
some colt has made Il brilliant dash
upon Il single course. We believe that
the prudent and conservative sentiment
of Vermont republicans to-day. is far
heavier in the balance for Mr.. Blaine.
than for any other proposed candidate.

The State Against Benjamin.

In its cndeaNor to make Il point
against the pr"hihit"IN liquor law and
the temperance sentiment of Vermont
the Montpelier Argus mi>-StatcS the de
ci>lon in the ease of State against L. :.
Brnlamin, vino WAS Indicted for bring
Ing liquor into the state for sale contra
rN to law. 1t says: The Supreme
Court has decided that Mr.. BENJAMIN
WAS right, and May wrong. which is as
II should he. 1t was Il diScrcditahlt per
t"rmancr. seeming more like Il pcrSecu-
ton than Il prosecution. Lots of good
people ;IIe pleased bcc;IISc of the come
out "t tins case. The supreme Court
decided no such thing. 1t simply de
clarcd that the Indictment on which
Bruiamiu was taken. was insufficient.
1t dId not pass upon the law upon
that there Is no more question than
there is that Benjamin violated it. The
trouble NaS. the papers We're not made
ont correctly, and 81 Benjamin slipped
through. And the lots of good people
who are plca>cd' hcraIIsc of it. are
mainly confined. we reckon. to those
who suck ont of Bcnjamin'S flask.

Business during the past week in
financial circles was exceedingly quiet
with little spirit being exhibited in bank

repetition of last weeks business. Aside
from local checking and depositiug there
nothing doing. The market is work

tinues in abundant supply. The banks
readily discount all 6rst-elass paper offer
ing at SOLO y cent. D annumi street

is little or no movement in local or
