Another CLAIM, Again., the Defam.r.
SOMETHING TO BE ADDED TO GRANDMOTHER
$500 REWARD"

lUU REWARD.
MesTs. c. H. DdceHpOyt d Co., pay 10
GRANDMOTHER PHOENIX, or Ordcr, 81. 80, dHd
charge tie same 10 tie account Il. Z. White.
As the readers of The PHOENIX may not
fully understand the above, | will try and ex-
plain the matter to them. About year and
half ago there appeared in the columns of
the WiHdhdm County Rg0rmer a problem
which the editor offered 81 90 anda years sub
scription to that paper to any one who would
correctly solve it. Having always taken an
interest in mathematical calculations, l went
to work and succeeded in solving it, and car
ried my answer into the office of the REFORM
er. The editor acknowledged that my an
swer was correct and said that he would see
that had my prize but up to this day
have seen neither money nor paper. AL
though my family are not destitute of clothes,
and generally find enough to eat, still that
dollar would come convenient, and then, too,
the papers would come handy to put under the
carpet. However, as there is no prospect of
ever getting the reward have turned it over
to you, Grandmother, and you can collect it
just as soon as you wish and put it with that
800 reward
Notwithstanding l have failed to get the
reward have been able to get glimpse into
the character of a genuine Democratic re-
former and when read in the Retormer
that the great statesman and patriot, James
A. Garfield, had told wrong stories for $500,
said to myself, Don't you remember that
fellow that went back on his word for $l,00
and years subscription 10 an independent,
Democratic, Republican, copperhead pa
per ?" When read in that paper that prom
inent men in this State have been guilty of
taking brides in the shape of free passes on
the Central Vermont railroad, it again occur
red to mo that some men will bride their con-
sciences for a smaller consideration than that.
When also read that the State expenses just
after the war we're $279, 900, and S400, 900
now, the thought came to me that it was Just
like some folks to manipulate the figures to
suit the emergency of the Democratic party.
When read that one hundred old soldiers in
this town were going to vote for Hancock, l
said to myself, 1T wont answer to believe
everything you read, people do lie so nova
days"
There is one thing about this transaction
that has been Il great comfort TO me, and that
is, am not the only one who solved the
problem and did not get a reward There
were two other persons in the town of Brat
teboro that were caught the same way, and
they appreciate the joke and like Chas. II.
Just as well as 1 do. Now l have few prob
lens that would like to state to the readeH

an enthusiastic meeting which seemed to

meeting of the club will be held next Monday
evening, upon which occasion it is expected
the glee club will furnish some patriotic songs,
and that there will be speaking from some not

Luke p. Poland and other distinguished

it is hoped that no one will stay away in con-
sequence of his political sentiments.

valuable work done in the school in the past,
and urged that the old students should pre-
serve their interest in the old school, and
make their loyalty felt in its future prosperi-

judge was nominated by the Democrats be-
cause he fought to uphold and preserve the
Union, they nominated Phelps because he
did all he could to destroy it. Phelps may
have a better record as n lawyer than his Re
publican competitor, Mr.. Farnham, but the
latter has far the better record as patriot.
and in ability to know and perform the du-
ties connected with ordinary legislation is far
superior to Phelps. Mr.. Phelps, doubtless,
would be able to perform the duties of the
gubernatorial office acceptably il called upon
now, but how would it have been If Vermont
had had man like him for Governor in the
time of the rebellion How came Mr.. Phelps,
with his Wing antecedents, to join the Demo-
Gratis? Because he believed in party ruled
by gentemen-a party in which few per
sons of wealth and intelligence lead and the
masses obey without questioning He does
not believe in popular rule. The Democrats
of Vermont were mostly for sustaining the
Union when it was assailed by the South
they helped to put down the rebellion which
was gotten up by their party associates. Why
should they now go back upon their record
and strike hands with those who sought to
destroy the Union Z Turning to national is
sues, Judge Poland said the great monied in
terests of the country do not desire change
in the administration they fear the conse-
quences of Democratic accession to power.
At the recent bankers meeting at Saratoga,
which he attended, this feeling was very
manifest, irrespective of party affiliations.
Whatever may be our party preference, the
fact is indisputable and cannot be wiped out,
that it was the South which attempted to de-
stoy the Union, and that to-day the South
constitutes the ruling element in the Demo
cratic party. And the people of the South
feel and know-and declare when they dare
to-that they are now working for the sue
cess of the same principles for which they
fought 1t is claimed that Gen. Hancock dis
played great craftsmanship while in COM
mand of a military district at the South but
he only carried out the policy of Andy John
son-and Johnsons policy was not success
The Judge then spoke upon the questions o.
the currency, the tariff, the Southern out
RACES and the Maine infamy, and concluded
by reminding the Republicans of Vernon
that every vote cast by them in September
would carry hope and encouragement to Re
publicans throughout the country and aid il

One of the largest audiences that ever
convened at Putney was in attendance at the
Republican rally at the town hall on Friday
evening, 10th inst, to hear Hon. j. L. Martin
of Londonderry speak upon the political is
sues of the day. An extra train from Bellows
Falls, with $50 from that village and 80 more
taken on at Westminster, including the Bel
lows Falls and Westminster brass bands. and
the Garfield and Arthur club of the former
town in uniform, arrived at Putney station at
about o'clock, and marched to the town hall,
preceded by the bands and the torchlight pro-
cession of the Garfield and Arthur clubs. Mr..
Martins address was chiefly confined to State
affairs, and his subject was handled in a most
terse and vigorous style His statements
could but be acknowledged by the Democracy
present to be correct, for he gave facts and
figures that could not be gainsaid by any fair
minded and intelligent Democrat Hon. c.
b. Eddy OF Bellows Falls next occupied the
platform for a brief space of time, and made
a forcible and argumentative address. Mr.
Markham of Brattleboro, who is perhaps the
best campaign singer in Vermont, was in at
tendance, and sang several campaign songs,
which called out hearty cheers.
The union Sabbath school picnic at Spot
ford Lake was largely attended by the Sab
bath schools Of the three churches in this
| place, and other citizens, to the number Of
| 200 or more
The Democracy of Putney evidently de-
signed to checkmate the Republican meeting
at the town hall on Friday evening, by getting
control of the hall and appointing meeting
| upon the same evening for the rebel Gen.
Martin to speak to the unterrified. They
must have known that the Republicans had
appointed meeting at the same time and
| place, notice to that effect having been very
publicly given at the time Col. Mead spoke
but they evidently learned that that game was
working badly for them, and they postponed
their meeting indefinitely. We cordially hope
they will have a meeting, and have some OF
their best speakers to talk from the rostrum,
and that all of the Republicans who can will
attend.

There was goodly, intelligent and APP
preciative audience at Union Hall last Satur-
day afternoon, to listen to the political ad-
dresses of Col. X. Haskins of BrattlcbOro and
Hon. MRhlon Chance Of Ohio, and right well
did these gentlemen handle the issues of the
hour-Mr. Haskins deserving special credit
for his candid, careful, plain and logical ex-
position of the history of the two great po-
ltical parties. Mr.. Chance is a magnetic
speaker, who, to be appreciated, must be
heard. His historical description and illus
tration of the cost and value of the ballot was
superb, and showed clearly how little the or
binary citizen of free country knows of its
history or realizes its great power and value.
