The state campaign which comes to an end
with the election to be held next Tuesday has
been one of unwonted quiet and lack of in
terest. In the whole state not political
meeting has been held nor a stump speech
made to rouse the popular feeling. In every
way the contest has been in marked contrast
TO that of two years ngo when the political
feeling throughout the state was raised to the
highest tension. 1t is true that no great issue
is at stake this year, and that there is no
doubt about the turn of the election, but we
think it almost matter for regret that meas
ures were not taken to SO stir the popular
pulse as to have assured full vote on both
sides. A proper amount of political interest
and enthusiasm is certainly wholesome and
healthful, and its effect in the case of Vermont
is always to give the Republicans of other
states good send-off in their campaigns.
But because our canvass has not been at
tended by exciting features the Republicans
of Vermont are not thereby absolved from
the duty of going to the polls in full ranks
next Tuesday and casting their ballots for the
men whom they have placed in nomination.
The state and congressional ticket is strong
one, and one which every voter may support
with a good conscience. Let every voter re-
member, and especially let the voters in the
more remote towns remember, that the duty
to be on hand on election day is not merely a
general and collective one, but personal one
which points directly toward each individual.
No man who intelligently surveys the whole
field of our national politics can for moment
doubt that the Republican party has yet an
important work TO do, and until that work is
done it is the duty of Vermont Republicans
to stand by their colors and lead the way fol
the state elections which are to follow.
In several counties of the state there is dis
affection and dissatisfaction with the county
nominations, and in two or three cases THU
feeling has been SO strong as to lead Il
boiling nominations being made. There il
fortunately no such drawback to a full anC
united vote in our own county. Our COUNTY
ticket is clean and strong one. The severa
candidates are sound on the questions which
disturb our neighbors up the state, and Their
is no reason why the ticket should not receiv
the cordial and unanimous support of the
Republicans of the county. Let every vote
be a committee of one to see that he does hil
own duty, and Windham county will give
good account of herself next Tuesday.

The reunion of the Seventh Vermont Reg-
ment, held at Rutland this week, was very
successful. The attendance was large, num-
bering nearly 100. Wednesday was the great
day In the morning business meeting was
held and officers elected. Col. VIM. G. Hol-
brook was chosen president. resolution
was adopted, thanking Col. Holbrook for his
faithful labors in preparing history of the
regiment. In the afternoon procession was
formed and marched to Evergreen cemetery,
where the organizations formed about the
Baxter monument. Prayer was offered by
Capt Joel G. Baker OF Rutland. Col. w. G.
Holbrook of New York pronounced fine Gu
logy on the late Col g. L. Roberts, and was
followed by Gen. W. Y. W. Ripley of Rut-
land. Large numbers of citizens were pres
ent. At the close Capt. Baker pronounced
Lenediction. In the evening campfire was

in both quantity and quality, but the rowen
is generally failure. Corn, which had
bad start, is generally looking well, though in
some cases il is entirely ruined by the dry
weather. Early potatoes are % per cent. be-
low the average in quantity and in many
cases they are very small. Apples are drop
ping from the trees and the general crop will
be third below the average, though in some
cases the yield will be fine. Jed Stark of
Halifax, for instance, expects to gather from
1000 to 2OO0 bushels from his orchard. Oats
and barley are good But little tobacco is
grown, and how this comes out depends on
how long the late frosts holds off,
Reports from Windsor county correspond
substantially with those from Windham,
though the general outlook seems more favor
able for the former county. In Rutland
county the grain crops are fine, corn is fair,
early potatoes are good, and recent rains
have helped the late. The crop of apples
will be small. In Caledonia county the hay
crop is below the average but better than in
1881. Grains of all kinds are good, potatoes
are light, and corn much below the average
Bennington county had heavy showers last
week which revived the late potato fields, but
will not bring the crop up to an average. The
grain crop is good, hay is an average, and
there is a large acreage of corn with pros
peot of a good crop In Orange county crops
as whole will be fully up to the average.
Late frosts killed out the clover, thus ma
terially cutting down the hay crop. Pota-
toes, corn and grain are looking well, though
two weeks late. In Washington county the
acreage of corn and potatoes is above the
average and both crops promise well. The
hay crop is average in quantity and better
than an average in quality. Recent showers
have partially relieved the drought, but the
| soil il still very drv

DIR. d. w. Bliss has written letter to the
board of audit appointed to settle the expens-
es of the illness Of President Garfield in which
he sets forth in detail his claim to remunera-
ton. He asserts that his receipts for his
practice at the time when he was called to at
tend the late President were about 81 800
month that this practice was to great ex-
tent broken up by the engrossing nature of
his duties at the Executive Mansion, and that
the direct pecuniary loss resulting therefrom
and from subsequent i'll health caused by long
continued nervous strain and over exertion
amounted to about St5,O He thinks he
should receive as compensation for his losses
and his services to the late President the sum
of S25, 600 In his letter DIR. Bliss reotes his
exhausting labors in the case and reaches the
conclusion that the task imposed upon him
has no parallel in this country, if, indeed in
the whole history of surgery.

In many respects the most important duty
which will confront the people next Tues
day will be the choice of town representa-
tives. An unusual number of questions of
vital concern will come before the next Leg
islature. Among other things six amend
ments to the constitution, relating to re-
prieves, combinations and pardons consi-
tutional prohibition requiring an additional
oath of members of the general assembly
for the election of secretary of state and au-
ditor of accounts by direct vote of the free
men the filling of vacancies in the legsla-
ture and prohibiting towns from pledging
their credit in aid of railroads, will claim
consideration and if adopted by both Houses
they will then be submitted to a popular
vote. The time is one when all personal
feeling should be- dropped and when the
voters of the several towns should choose
their best and strongest men to represent
them in the general assembly. Let the rule
be to elect representatiUe men-men in whose
sound judgment, integrity and good sense
the people can trust.

Complaint begins to ceme.frOm the Wash
ington departments that the clerks are not to
be let off with the Two percent assessment
demanded by Hubbell. Those from Virgin
ia have been asked for 8 per cent additional
by Malone, and those from Pennsylvania are
between two fires, owing to request from
the state committee that they pay their mon
ey over to the committees treasurer, instead
of to Hubbell. 1t has been brought out dur
ing the last few days that clerks and messen-
gers have been recently paying from 8 to IS
per cent. per month interest on advances
from money-lenders, and it is said that an ac-
tual lack of funds among the clerks in many
cases prevents their paying the assessments
for which they are asked. The assessments
will probably reach their usual amount be-
fore the close of the campaign, but at pres
ent the collectors have hard work to squeeze
them out of unwilling and needy clerks. The

The Vote for Congressman.

Reports believed to be reliable are in cir
culation to the effect that an attempt to cut
down Judge Poland's vote will be made by
distributing ballots for congressman through
the district for persons other than the Judge,
these boiling ballots being for such persons
as it is believed will best fit the localities to
which they are sent. In this county it is in
timated that ballots for Hon. James NJ. Ty-
Ter are being distributed. This matter hav-
ing been called to Mr.. Tylers attention, he
asks us to say that he discountenances the
whole proceeding, Judge Polands nomina-
ton having been regularly made, he believes
it should receive the full vote of the Republi-
can party of the District.
