tered something like public admonitlon'
to the"newspapers" for having given curren-
CIV to this libel on the fathers. DR.. Bartlett
statement of the case is charmingly simple.
He SAYS: "a hogshead of rum was ordered
up. Before 1t could be served out word
came that British reinforcement was but
two miles away The wearied troops left
the rum all untouched and marched to the
new conflict" When We rember that liquor
drinking had not risen into a sin in the
eyes of the men of one hundred years ago.
that Ethan Allen and Seth Warner and the
members of the council of safety had been
running up generous scores" for drinks at
the Catamount tavern, which remain to-day,
and the exhausted condition of the soldiers
who had shared in the hottest fight Gen.
Stark had ever seen, and been compelled to
chew bullets to moisten their threats. the
improbability, at least, of Mr.. Bartlett
claim is apparent. There must have been
greater haste to the rally than there is any
evidence of, and less wisdom in the officers
than they have always had credit for, and
more virtue and valor per capita to the men
than human nature averages under such
circumstances. if the wearied farmers left
the casks "already ordered up "all un-
tasted" But the Republican had direct
evidence, through the statements OF
Lieutenant John Powell, of Lanesboro
and other veterans of the fight, to the
fact that the American troops were revived
and even somewhat disorgsnized by gener-
Gus patronage of the rum barrels Prof
Perry, of Williams College, whose study OF
the incidents of Bennington battle has
not been confined to the preparation of a
formal address, says: The truth is, have
had the fact which you correctly state from
too many sources and from too unimpeach-
able direct witnesses 10 be mistaken about
it." President Bartlett may be right as to
a certain squad or squads, for all was con-
fusion and separation over the field at that
time, but that there was much rum-drink-
ing and consequent Generalization among
the American forces before the arrival of
Col. Warmers troops from Manchester is

they arranged themselves in line with bou-
quets In their hands ready to throw them
upon the President. Being in some doubt
when the great men moved along as to the
proper person on whom to bestow their
honors. they naturally took the best looking
man in the party for the President and be-
slowed their favors accordingly. In con-
sequence Governor Van Zandt was almost
smothered with roses, and had to beg Mrs.
