more rouslng republican rally has not been
held in southern Vermont during the cam
paign. The Hayes and Wheeler clubs
from Ludlow, Springfield, Bellows Falls,

present, and furnished the music.
AT three o'clock Hon. William Rounds
of Chester introduced the speaker, ex-Gov.
Hartman of New Hampshire, in few
well chosen words. Gov. Hartman spoke
an hour and half upon the live Issues OF
the campaign, eloquently and fairly, electri-
flying his audience.
He reviewed the records of both polih-
cal parties for the past twenty years, and
claimed that the republican party could
well afford to stand by its record. The
record of the democratic party received
severe scathing at his hands. The finan'
cial situation of the country was ably re-
viewed, and the responsibility of our enor'
NOUS public debt and present business de-
preston was laid at the door Of the demo.

Sabbath School Excursion.

On Thursday morning some two hun
dred children of Castleton and Fairhavcn
were up early in the morning to meet the
sun in its coming. With anxious eye and
throbbing hearts they scanned the western
sky to read from it signs of the weather
for the coming day. Though the clouds
we're dark and lowery they did not despair.
One would say "Mother, wont we 60 if it
docs rain?" another would ask Aunt Jane
if "she thought it would rain" The low
ering clouds gave place 10 the beautiful
orb Of day which shone forth in all its
beauty to gladden. the hearts of the little
ones who gathered at their respective de-
pots with some 200 Of their friends for an
excursion on Lake Champlain Prompt at the
appointed hour (thanks to the present etli-
cient management of the rosd) the cars
were in readiness, and some 400 went with
them to the "Ebow" where they found the
steamer Montreal in readiness to take the
party down the lake. The vessel, under
the charge of it's trusty pilot, followed the
crooked channel Of the lake, occasionally
stopping at ports to receive accessions to
the party. AS the beat passed Fort III.
the party were eating, but the Fairhaven
cornet band again made Mount Defiance
re-echo DER the lake with Hail Columbia
and Yankee Doodle. A response, silent
though strong, went up from each one
present to God tina. be would preserve our
noble land, that the freedom gained for us
by our forefathere, at this as well as other
points, might he preserved to our posterity
while time should last. The day was beau
titul, all were happy and cheerful-poli-
tics, creeds, theories, nationalites, all were
forgotten all united and happy. The
party went as far as Port Henry.
l cannot close this without saying one
word of the Montreal and its efficient cap
tain, J. II. Manville. The steamer is just
what an excursion party want. The cap
tain is gentlemanly, kind, and obliging,
ever upon the watch for the safety and
comfort of his passengers. With this boat
and the present efficient management tot the
railroad, Vermonters can all have an ex-
cursion on this lovely lake and view the
remains of Fort I'll, which had so promi-
nent position in the war that made US q
free people. Language fails to decribe the
beauties of trip upon this charming lake
at this season of the year. Still we must
bid the beautiful lake with all its associa-
tions adieu. EXcURsIoNIsT.

at the south was discussed at length, and
the boasted chivalry of the South as Illus
trated in the Hamburg massacre and in
other southern outrages was handled with
out gloves. The danger which would come

rebel element at the south, led by Alex.
Stephens, Ben Hill, Lamar aud others, was
ably set FORTH That this danger was i'm
minent was shown by the record of the
present congress ruled and governed by
ex-confederates. The defiant attitude of
Ben Hill and other confederates was sharp
ly criticised. The great number of claims
presented to the house of representatives at
the last session by democrats to pay claims
of southerners for war damages in rebel
states and the danger of their being fully
allowed if the democratic party could gain
power, thus increasing taxation, was fully
discussed.
Several times he was interrupted by
question from good democratic brother.
Once when questioned the governor
asked by what right he claimed that point.
The man replied "by the right of honesty"
Honestly" replied the governor, "that
doesn't exist in your whole party" in
manner that fairly made all the people
shout with applause. He was asked no
more questions by that man. Gov. Har-
riman treated both sides of the question
fairly, but came to the conclusion that
Hayes and Wheeler were the only safe
standard bearers.
The exercises were held in front of Ches-
ter seminery, where temporary platform
had been erected, and under the cool Gins

open-air meeting. Upon the stage we no.

An accident occurred on the Montpelier

Wells River and the mixed train collidlng
THE PARTICULARS.
On investigation the accident proved to
be one of the worst smashups which has
ever occurred upon this heretofore well
managed and thoroughly equipped road.
II seems that the mail train left Wells
River nearly forty-fve minutes late, at
noon. 1t consisted of an engine. baggage
and passenger car. Everything went
right with the train until it reached East
Montpelier station.
THE COLLISION.
Conductor Charles Ferrin, who had
charge of the train, visited his usual al
lowanee of time for the up freight train.
He then started for Montpelier. When
the train left the station it was long before
it got speedy Roadway, as the grade is
very steep. When going at the rate of
about 20 miles an hour the engineer of the
passenger train suddenly saw coming to-
ward him under full Roadway the up
freight train. Quick as thought he shut
off steam and applied the air brakes and
reversed the engine, but to no purpose.
The engines came together with great
crash, the engineers and firemen of both
trains leaping from the engines and saving

PASSENGERS INJURED.
In the passenger coach of the mail train
were fifteen or twenty passengers. When
the crash came they were Thoroughly shaken
up. Almost all Of the passengers received
bruises, scratches, and some severe cuts
upon their persons. Among the wounded
is Mrs. Langley of Montpelier, who is Sc
verely hurt internally, and had spasms
after being taken from the car and put
upon car cushions on the road bank Con-
ductor FERN has severe cash upon the
forehead and bruises in many places. Jas.
r. Langdon, New York merchant, received
slight injuries. Baggage-master Whit
comb was cut over the eye and back of the
car. Fortunately, no one was killed out
right. The passengers were conveyed to
Montpelier by teams. Superintendent
Jewell was at the fcene of the disaster
shortly after its occurrence, and is doing all
in his power 10 care for the wounded and

THE LOCOMOTIVES WRECKED.
The locomotives Montpelier and Sortwell

DANNY BoRoUGn, Aug. "a
The republicans have just had lively
and successful rally. The meeting con-
vened in Enterprise hall, and was by far
the largest and most enthusiastic political
gathering thus far held here in the present
campaign. The audience, unlike those in
attendance at previous meetings, was al
most entirely composed of those in full and
hearty sympathy with the object of the de-
monstration. At least four hundred peo-
pie were present. Mount Tabor furnish
ing very generous quota to
swell the numbers, and many ladies grace
ing the occasion with their cheering and
welcome presence. The orator of the
evening, Col w. G. Veazey of Rutland,
held his hearers close attention and inter-
est for two hours. His address was forcible,
candid, statistical, eloquent and convinc-
ing. The audience at the close manifested
their appreciation of the Colonels effort
by three rousing cheers. E.. W.
