handsome Garfield and Arthu. flag, last FIJI
day evening, amidst a large crowd and great
enthusiasm Word was received the night
before from the Montpelier Garfield and
Arthur clubs that they were coming up to
show Plainfield people that Montpelier was
alive with Republicans. The news was rap
idly spread through this and adjoining towns,
and on the arrival of the train at i:30 full
six hundred people had assembled to receive
the Montpelier clubs, who came four hun
dred strong, accompanied by the Montpelier
brass band \ procession was formed at the
depot which marched through the principal
streets to the public common where a speak
er's stand had been erected, and with the
torches, banners and transparencies it pre-
sentcd a striking and beautiful appearance.
As the stars and stripes were thrown to the
/ breeze three such rousing, ringing cheers
/ were raised, as Plaintield has rarely heard,
and which made the Democrats drop their
heads on recalling their poor attempt Il
month ago. Speeches were made by Hon.
/ Charles H. Heath, Gen. Stephen Thomas,
/ Hon. i. f. Fiiield Hon. W. q. Ferrin, and
George Wing, Esq. Of Montpelier, Hon.
/ II. H. Slayton of Manchester, \. H.. and
by DIR. II. t. Smith of this place, the chair
man of the meeting. The speakers Were fire.
gGcntly interrupted by hearty applause.
At the close Of the speeches cheer after cheer
was raised for Garfield and Arthur, III,
speakers, band and Montpelier friends. Tn,
procession then formed again and marchcC
10 the depot, where a special train was wait
ing our visitors, which carried them home
followed by the cheers of their many Plain
field friends. The whole affair was certain
ly grand Success due in great measure Il
the Montpelier friends, whom the Rcpubli
cans Of Plainiicld will ever hold in grateful
remembrance. Garfield and Arthur clul
was formed with over fifty members tn,
Democrats 90 around with long faces.

The City Caucus,

Saturday evening, Was numerously attended,
and resulted in the nomination of Hon Rus
sell s. Taft, by vote which was not only
highly complimentary to Mr.. Taft, but was
also a marked indication that the Republl-
cans of Burlington this year are sinking per-
sonal iealousies and controversies, and are
united and hearty in the determination TO
honor themselves, and serve the Republican
cause by carrying our city and e!ecting our
representative by an old-fashioned rousing
majority.
Mr. Taft is too well known to our citizens
to need any word from US. His marked abll-
ity, legislative experience, wide acquaintance
and long familiarity with public affairs, fit
him for high influence and valuable service
in the legislature. He should have, and will
have, every Republican vote in Burlington
His election by handsome majority is GER
