GORmAM's PHILHPPIC.

George c. Gorham, late Secretary OF
the United States Senate, was mem
her of the California Convention which
nominated George C. Perkins for Gov
ernor. Gorham intimated that the
g Convention was run in the interest of
the monopolies, as resolution, pledging
the Republican party in general and
the nominees for Railroad Commission
. ers in particular, to reduce fares and
freights on railroads within the State
). was voted down. This accusation led
the Argonaut, whose editor, Frank
Pixley, was Chairman of the Conven-
vention, to attack Gorham. The latter
announced his intention to reply to
Pixley at public meeting. This meet
ing was held at Union Hall, San Fran
CISCO last Friday evening. The hall,
the largest in the city, was crowded,
and, although the delivery of the speech
occupied over two hours and quarter,
the audience listened with marked at
tention, and showed its appreciation of
the points made by frequent rounds of
applause. The speech is an exhaustive
arraignment of the managers of the
Central Pacific Railroad, who have be-
come millionaires by charging extor-
tionate rates on their roads, and are to-
day the owners of 1856, 500, 900 O5 over
and above all Indebtedness. This i'm
mense fortune has been accumulated
from building and operating roads on
this coast, and the speaker challenged
any human being to produce any
reasonable evidence that they ever paid
out of their own pockets over 81 500
to begin with. His speech, which is
published in full in the San Francisco
Chronicle of Saturday, will satisfy any
reasonable person that railroad votes
controlled the Republican Convention
of California.
But his attack on the railroad, though
severe, scarcely compares with his phil
lpic against Pixley, which must be
read in fall to be appreciated. He
charges Pixley with having favored, as
member OF the Committee on Plat
form and Resolutions, his lGorham's)
resolution pied ging the nominees of the
Convention to support reduction of
twenty-five per cent. on every rate
charged June lst, 1879, for fares and
freights on all railroads. which have re-
ceived State or National aid, and after
wards, having meantime visited Cover
nor. Stanford at Menlo Park, making a
loud and exciting speech against it, The
inference is that he was bought and
paid for by the railroad. Gorham said
Frank M. Pixley Is an unconvicted
felon, and for being now at large is in
debted to witnesses whom he could
name. Behind him stalks the turnkey
outA DcioAO hiui y lawns Vic tNSiheOhIibiy,
and the speaker assured him that if he
denies one syllable of what DC said he
will post the positive evidence of his
guilt on the walls of the city,
Gorham signified his intention to de-
liver his speech throughout the State,
and he reserves his action toward the
Republican candidates until they have
opportunity to publicly repudiate the
managers of the Convention which
nominated them. AS they will not
probably do this, Gorham will undoubt-
eddy support the new Constitution
ticket in the coming campaign.

Brattleboro' people are laughing at
a good joke on one of the wealthiest
men Of the town, who, TO save five
cents, bought an excursion ticket on
the New London Northern road and
crowded himself into a picnic train
chartered by church with which he
never worships, and of which he was
not an invited guest. But the train
would not stop until reaching the next
station beyond where he wished to get
off, and he had to walk back two miles
for the five cents.
Ira V. White of Chester Depot, father
of Herbert ID. White, for whose murder
Henry Gravelin was hanged at Windsor
in April last, committed suicide Friday
night by cutting his throat. He was
intoxicated and placed in the lookup
at Chester, but in the morning was
found dead, having nearly severed his
head from his body with a jack-knife.

The Board of Directors of the House
of Correction at Rutland have adver.
tised for the third time for bids for the
labor of the prisoners, but as yet are
unable to get anybody to make a con
tract. This seems to be in some re
spects an unfortunate institution fol
the State. Nearly every week al
escape or prisoner is noted.
The Central Vermont Railroad depo
at Chester was broken into Friday
morning about one o'clock. An at
tampt was made to blow open the SAFE
of the United States and Canada Elk
press Company. Entrance was gained
by cutting out piece of glass SO tina
the spring holding the sashes togethe
could be turned. The window wa
showed up and the bolt and combina
ton spindles were broken. The saf
was moved from the Office to the gent
room and placed in a position to b.
taken out doors. Three suspicion
persons who were about town yester
day are doubtless the parties WIFI
robbed the safe in the depot at Brattle
boro' Monday night. The thieve
were undoubtedly frightened away b.
Sewall Muzzey who passed the depo
four times between one and thre
o'clock.

Dear Sir:-I take the opportunity again to
express my gratitude for the great benefit re-
ceived under your treatment some seven years
since. At that time was suffering from a
catarrhal affection and liberated sore throat,
which had impaired my general health to an
alarming extent. had been under the care
OF some of the best regular physicians both in
this place and Burlington, and received nc
permanent benefit but was rapidly and surely
growing worse when consulted you ! saw
you but once yet after following up prescribed
remedies for II few weeks, the throat troubles
entirely disappeared, and my general health
became as good as formerly. 1t is but just tC
add that during this lapse of time the disease
has never again appeared.
would also say in behalf of Mrs Gleed tha
your treatment of her case for Bronchial Ca
turrh some four years since, was very success
fnl, effecting cure in two or three months
Most earnestly can recommend you to my

We notice that Mrs. Parker G.. Evans
of Gorham, N. H., is stopping in town
visiting her many friends here.
The Free Will Baptist Society at St.
Johnsbury have the full amount of
their indebtedness s57OO-pledged.
Owing to the heavy strain on our
columns this week we are unable to
publish the arrivals at the Island Pond
House.
The old steps leading to the entrance
of Masonic Hall, and which were an

removed, and new ones substituted.
Good enough.
We have received communication
from "Uncle Jonathan" and one from

compelled to postpone the publication
of them till future issue for lack of
space.
Quite change and marked improve
ments have been made at the Roman
Catholic cemetery. The lots are nicely
laid out as also the paths which sur
round them, the whole betokening
great care and attention.
DIR Smyth, who is now stopping at
Newport, and whose advertisement
appears in another column, informs us
that he contemplates visiting Island
Pond for two weeks stay and will
arrive here about the middle of Septem-
Der, staying till the first of October.

The reading by Mrs. Emma Mannin 6
Huntley at Association Hall on Monday
evening afforded those who attended
one of the most enjoyable entertain
ments of the season. We deem it ne
disparagement to others when we say
that Mrs. Huntley is one of the best
readers we ever heard. The delineatior
of the second class in reading carried
many of the audience back to the tern
when they "toed the crack" in some ole
country School house and one little
fellow whispered to his mother "that's
just the way they act at our school"
The other day we heard man asked
to subscribe for the HERALD. lie re
piled mot by id sight, l won't sup
port o. paper that favors a returning
board which cheats people out of theil
votes. Well now, we didn't know we
did. We are awful sorry. We didn'1
mean to, and we won't do SO again
How we shall get along without tn
support so cruelty refused us we cam
tell. If the HERALD should fail or
that account, how would that man b(
able to sleep? We believe he went to
the same school, reads the same papers,
and gets his information generally,
from the same source as the fellow,
who, when asked at election time il
this town some few years ago, to vot'
for certain candidate for town repre-
sentative, refused, saying 'the United
States owes Prussia $3,0O0,000, and il
the other candidate wasn't elected the
money had got to be paid" We ven
ture the assertion, that a careful peru
sal of almost any paper would enlarg,
the stock of information of either O
these men.
