Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1881-08-10

Daniel Is now a young man and the
incidents selected will show how. from
poor apprentice lad, he rose in few years
TO IA leading position in the community.
His brother Sylvanus departed in the
year 1871 for Europe with the machine
for spinning flax, which had been invented
in town to compete for the reward of
million francs offered by Napoleon, the
story of which is told in d. ?. Thompson's
history of Montpelier. He made Daniel
his agent in full, with power of attorney,
TO act for him in every capacity of business
till his return. He was absent over a year
and ID ,niel, to Judge from collateral cir
cum stances, managed his affairs better
than they we've ever managed before. One
thing was arranged greatly to Daniels
liking. His brother formed "a copartner.
ship with him in the cotton yarn business,
furnishing all the capital and allowing the
Young man One.half of all he could make,
while the company were tV receive 81 .OC
IA day for the use of the factory.
Sylvanus held the Office of sergeant-at
arms, and, when session time drew near
people expected D.niel to fulfill the duties
which were considerably less it seems
than they are now. Nowise daunted, the
young m IN ordered wood drawn to the
State House, and made considerable re
pairs on an outbuilding. When the legis
lature opened. he sawed the wood himself
kept all the fires, lighted the building witt
tallow candles, which were stuck in til
candlesticks upon the walls, did all tn
; sweeping, furnished all the stationery, in
and goosequills, which last.of the right size
ne rode to Middlesex to procure; and a
, the end of the session brought in bill
1 including all OUTLAWS for wood, stationery
ETC.,, for $53. so Judge DIN, chairman c
+ the committee, looked at it askance, an
questioned whether the expense on tn
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1881-08-10

could not have been avoided,
but the man whom Daniel hired to do that
lob. being present. put in his voice to say
The little rascal cheated me like thun-
der" and the bill was allowed. In recent
wears, when the session expenses have
grown to many times their former limit,
Judge Baldwin delighted to take down the
old record and show it to legislators.
Sylvanus sold. in Boston, portion of
bis share in the spinning machine and
sent home $3.50 worth of West India
goods. Mr.. David Harrington, who, also,
had an interest in the invention, came
home about the same time bringing with
him an equal amount of the same kind OF
goods. Daniel now began his first expert
ence as regular merchant. Acting for
his brother he united his West India goods
in partnership with those of Mr.. Harring-
ton and the two set up in businesses at the
''checkered store in Barre. He bestowed
little time on this enterprise, however,
leaving it mostly to Harrington. Enough.
that it pail we'll Most of his attention
was bestowed on the selling of his broth
er's property to pay his debts. 1t was
during the War of 1912. and everything
he touched turned readily into money OF
what was better He disposed of bis
brothers interest in the factory, and upon
the latters return the factory had burned
and was total loss to the owners, while
his own share had been converted into the
Nelson" farm down the river and another
farm in STAFFORD. Daniel had cleared
$500 in running the factory.
| Svlyanus returned in December, 1878
five months after Daniel was twenty-one
for which period of time he allowed hi
brother $40 a month for the services which
no longer were another's. He said he
usually parted with his apprentices by
giving them two suits of clothes and ,
chest of tools, but as Daniel already ha
all the clothes he needed and wished 70
no tools, nothing was given at that time
and, although Sylvanus declared his broth
er had done so well he should sometim
give him $1,000, the time never cam
when he could do so.
This December, d ,nie was admitted a
Il Mason in Aurora lodge and in May too
his second degree. The moral tone of tn
lodge was vigorously maintained at a hg
standard and Judge Baldwin looked BAG
upon it afterwards as ranking near tt

The relapse which the President suffered

The relapse which the President suffered
on Saturday has, to degree, taken a
change for the better, and while all danger
has not passed. the symptoms are some
doubtless caused by an accumulation of
pus in the wound, and the operation which
Dr. Agnew performed opening the cavity
to a great extent relieved him. There is
one thing concerning which there is a
great degree of certainty, if Drs. Hamilton
and Agnew would stay with the President
constantly, giving DR.. Bliss vacation, the
country at large would breathe much freer
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-25

tions in its own ranks, what sort of q
working majority can it now hope for2
Well; it is our duty to look for The good
of the country under whatever party hap
pens to be in the ascendant. The Republi-
cans have been in power too long. Twenty
years OF undisturbed possession have led
them into corruption and into abuses that
are utterly inconsistent with the welfare
of the people. Take, for instance, the
fraudulent installation of Mr., Hayes after
Mr.. Tilden had been honestly elected, and
consider whether such an offence as that
ought not to be followed by the destruc-
ton of the party that is responsible for
this
The safety of the republic requires that
the Republicans should not remain in pow
er any longer than is necessary to turn
them out through regular election"
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-25

The New York San has the following to
say in regard to the defeat of Conkling,
thoughts which the Republicans who have
been so eager to slay him, will do well to
read and ponder over: 1t was doubtless a
great and glorious thing to lay Conkling
out, but now that the hurrahing is through
with and the caps have been thrown in
the air, a sober second thought viii not be
amiss as to the full extent of the folly that
has been committed:
Zone of our Washington correspondents
has some very apt comments on the pres
ent situation of the administration and the
Republican party. "A party that has con-
fessedly nothing to spare, writes our cor
respondent, can poorly afford to spare
Conkling and Grant, and those who cannot
be seduced from them. An administration
SO weak in Congress that it is not sure of
either House, and thus is confessedly with
out working majority, manifests extra
ordinary folly when it invites such antag-
onisms'
This is all true, and any child ought to
see it. If the Republicans could not get
on in the senate with Roscoe Conkling
there, how are they going to get on with
out him? If, in order to tie the senate so
that the casting vote of the Vice President
might give them an apparent majority, it
was necessary for the Republicans to trade
