The Democratic County Convention.

Newfane correspondent sends us the
following The Windham county Democrat
ic mass convention was one of the most mel
ancholy assemblages ever convened in Fay
etteville. The three-seated two-horse car
riage that came in from Brattleboro with
banners flying for each point of the compass,
and bearing Chawles and Kirwan and four
others, the elite of Brattleboro democracy,
was in strange contrast with the general fu-
nerial aspect of the affair. When the masses
had all gathered at the court house for the
forenoon session, some one undertook the
herculean task of an enumeration. When
the last Democrat passed the court house
door, the enumeratOr wiped the Precipitation
from his brow, took long breath, and re-
ported the entire mass to consist of exactly
ten. In the afternoon, however, the Demo-
cratic masses began to pour in from New
fame, Wilmington and other parts of the
county, swelling the number in attendance
to grand total of eighteen, including three
Republicans.
The ticket nominated is as follows: For
senators, Dr. Daniel Campbell of Rocking
ham and o. b. Lawton of Wilmington state
attorney, S. T. Davenport of Wilmington !;
high bailiff, H. G. Willard of Brattleboro I;
high sheriff, H. w. Bellows of Marlboro as
sistant Judges, d. p. Leonard of Dover, and
N. S. Weeks of Grafton; judges of probate,
H. G. Lane for the Westminster district and
Milon Davidson for the Marlboro district.
The county committee are DR.. James Con-
land and W. H. Childs of Brattleboro, Geo.
o. Guild of Bellows Falls, t. W. Davis of
Grafton, o. L. Sherman of Newfane, David
Stearns of Putney and Eli Porter of Whiting
ham.
The resolutions, as summarized by the
Springfield Republican correspondent, de
nounce the outrageously low appraisal of
railroad property in the state, discountenance
the free-p pass abuse and condemn any and all
attempts at political choanery in the counsels
Of the party" The convention refused the
acceptance of @. H. Davonport's resignation
as a member of the state committee by a
unanimous vote. 1t was also voted to adopt
the delegate system for future conventions.
G. B. Kirwan was chairman of the mass
meeting and DIR. Jas. Oonland secretary.

Letter from Hon. J. N. Tyler.
House OF REPRESENTATIVE,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Washington, D. c., July 30, 1922
My Dear French 1 am surprised to learn
by an article in yesterdays PHOENIX that you
are charged with ''giving away" my chances
for denomination to Congress. This is unjust.
What you published was by my express direc-
ton. gave away whatever chances 1 had,
and no one else is responsible.
Had desired denomination 1 certainly
should have said so to my personal friends, or
at least not opposed the efforts they offered to
make in my behalf. My position was well
known throughout the district and expect
ed that if my best personal friends were in
the convention they would be there in the in.
terest of either Gen. Grout or Judge Poland.
Certainly you are not blamable.
Yours very truly,

Another French cabinet has come to grief
that of NJ. de Freycinet. NJ. de Freycinet
asked vote of credit in order to send an ex-

that he should regard the vote as test of
confidence, whereupon the Chamber refused
the proposed credit by vote of $50 to &C.
Immediately after the result of the division
became known, the Ministers waited upon
President Grevy and rendered their resigna-
tions. These we're accepted with the usual
proviso that the members of the Cabinet
should retain their portfolios until their sue
cessors are appointed.

THE Stlnte~iStS.; :. ~

On the evening Of the 18th inst.
The Strategists." Haverly's splen
did comedy. Will be given at the
Theatre for one night only. This
piece has been given here before and
was immensely enjoyed. 1t is Il
comedy well worth seeing, and is
well played. We give an extract
regarding it:
The audience at the "Strategist,
last evening. were agreeably enter
tanned, and laughter and applause,
With the genuine ring to it, were
constant. The farce is nonsense,
but clever in its line, with a central
idea sufficiently strong to surround
1t with intrigue, and employing
many amusing types of character.
The dialogue, which is never for any
length of time in any ones mouth,
is bright, modern and full of catch
phrases. no this production is
welded very good company, its
members being able and responsible
members of the profession. Mr..
ice Polk is an excellent comedian,
rarely self-consciOus, and thor
ougnly versatile, though with Occa-
sionaI "reminiscences of George
Washington Philips, in the Bankers
Daughter" and the tenor in French
Flats" His every appearance
strengthened his hold, and he re-
ceived much applause. Mr.. Linden,
as Major Howard played the part
with dry humor very effectively,
and Mr.. Aiken was excellent. Mr.
Sam E. Ryan, an old Albany favor
tie and former manager of the old
TIim5le, his occupancy ending
when that theatre Was burned was
the Torrance O'Flam. He played
with good brCgue, unfagging spirit,
and was cordially received. Miss
Gilbert was good, and Miss Bates
very satisfactory. The play and
company are both enjoyable and
will draw largely.
