Notes and Notions.

The greenbackers Of the seventh Indiana
congressional district intend, IL is rumored,
TO place'De la Matyr in the field again.
MASSACHUSETTS is to have Bishop or a
Butler for governor. viii it be a Bishop
without a church or Butler without a
pantry2
CoNGREssMAN.ELEoT BouTELLE Of Maine
had the satisfaction of witnessing the largest
republican gain in his neighborhood made
anywhere in the state.
The Woodstock Age has began to use its
editorial column for patent medicine read
ing notices. All things considered, perhaps
that is the best thing that could be done.
THE Connecticut republicans have fol
lowed the example Of the Green Mountain
state and promoted their Acknowledgements
to the governorship. The convention was
quiet and harmonious and the nominations
were made by reclamation.
New York TRIBUNE; 1.-THE police Of
this city ought to have an easy time for
day or two, as the democratic state conven-
ton has made tremendous draft from the
ranks of our dangerous classes. But If the
people of Syracuse succeed in escaping q
riot they may count themselves lucky"
THE VicksJwg Herald warmly commends
Charles A. Dana for refusing to be candi-
date for governor of New York. 1t says
ale is right. Any man who can be editor
of newspaper and get free tickets to all
the shows would be the blankest kind Of
blank fool to go to monkeying with so small
potato as the governorsbip of New York
or any other state"
IT is claimed by the New York Herald
that Jay Gould controls four out Of the seven
papers of that city which constitute the New
York Associated Press, and that he proposes
to unite it with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. The ostensible object
seems to be to color the market and stock
reports in the interests of spectators. The
plan should be resisted to the utmost.
For the first time in thirty-two years the
annual report of the postofiice department,
to be presented in December, will not show
deficiency. In the last decade the annual
excess of expenditures over receipts has
averaged five million dollars, while this
year it is stated that there will be a surplus
of one million dollars. This is the direct
outcome of the uprooting of the star-route
ring.
The official count of the vote of Maine,
except three small plantations yet to be
heard from, give results as follows: Robbie,
1854; Plaisted, 63,756; Chase, 1,29S;
Vinton, 262; Eustis, 305. Total vote, 1885,
175. Robes plurality is SOS. The re-
publican candidates for congress are elected
by pluralities little in excess of that for
governor. The republicans carry fourteen
of the sixteen counties.

A Week OF Conventions.

The past week has been fruitful IN I'M
portant political conventions. The interest
has centered chiefly in Massachusetts, and
New York, where both parties have placed
their gubernatorial candidates before the
public. In the former state the republicans
have made Hon. r. II. Bishop their
standard-bearer, while the democratic lot
has fallen to Hon. Benjamin F. Butler.
There are two things worthy of note in this
connection. Hon. w. w. Grape, Bishops
principal competitor for the nomination,
voted to pass the river and harbor bill over
the presidents veto, and it is claimed that
up to that time he had clear lead in the
race, but that his defeat dated from that
act. Commenting on this point, the Spring
field Republican says:
The great significance of the convention was in
the nomination of Bishop, the defeat OF Mr. Grape
on the issue Of the river and harbor vote and the
implied censure Of Senator Hoar. 1t
was experienced by the nomination of Bishop, by
the tone of the convention in the current talk
about candidates and in the platform, which, in
general terms, demands the Limitation OF public
expenditures to the legitimate needs Of the gov
eminent, the remission to the people OF the SUI
perfuous revenue, in terms very much more
pointed and vigorous than formerly.
1t will be comparatively an easy matter
to control public expenditure if the people
promptly retire from public those who sus-
tain extravagant appropriations by their
votes. The principle is general, and will
apply with equal force to the power of the
people over all public officials.
Another noteworthy fact is that Butler
had already accepted the nomination for
governor from the greenbackers, but in spite
of the lesson just taught them by the cleo
tion in Maine, the democratic managers fell
into the same trap and fusion candidate
is the result. That such paper as the
Boston Post can swallow this arrangement
after its so recent discontinue in the Pine
Tree state shows a power to come up smil-
ing in the face of defeat that is truly won
derful.
In New York Hon. Charles j. Folger, the
present secretary of the treasury, bore off
the prize from Governor Cornell, who was
candidate for reelection. Considerable bad
feeling was engendered by the apparent fact
that the influence of the administration and
the federal patronage were openly used in
Folger's favor, and threats of bolt are
heard. One influential republican paper,
the Buffalo Express, has already come out
for the democratic nominee. The fact re-
mains, however, that Secretary Folger is an
able man and will make strong leader.
The various factions of the democracy seem
to have come to reasonably harmonious
settlement of their grievances and have
nominated Hon. Grover Cleveland for gov.
ernor. If they should remain united and
any great disaffection should break out
in the republican ranks, they may regain
the state which they lost through dissensions
in their own party. Altogether the situa'
ton in Massachusetts and New York has
attracted much attention, which will increase
as the campaign advances.

The BETHEL FAIR.-The fair at Bethel not
withstanding the rain, was on the whole sue
cess for the treasurer is paying all expenses and
all premiums In full and we venture to say that
il more than be said Of all the fairs held last
week. The show OF horses, hogs and sheep was
excellent, never much better but the show OF
cattle was nothing 10 what 1t ought TO have been,
The farmers, many OF them, seem unwilling to
exhibit their oxen, their cows, their young stock
unless they feel pretty sure they will get pre-
MUM Of fen dollars 10 take home nth them.
This, we think, Is all wrong The ladies did their
part nobly In the floral hall, The articles they
had on exhibition, which were the works OF their
own hands, showed fine taste and great skill and
1t was the testimony OF all who viewed the hall
that 1t was very fine In all Its departments and
details. The second day the weather was good
and the attendance very fair, but the crowd, the
mass, stayed at home intending TO go the last day
to SEQ the wrestling contest and, strange as II
may appear, though there was an incessant rain
all the forenoon there were some seventeen hun
dred people on the ground In the afternoon, Just
TO see the wrestling match between Dufur, Ross
Flagg and Daley, and the capplng Of hands and
the roar OF laughter showed that all were well
pleased There WAS so much interest mani
Tested In the sport that II Is now arranged and
decided TO have the grandest wrestling tourna-
ment ever witnessed in the New England States.
Due notice Of the day and the railroad aocommo-
dations will be given. 30 look out for the bills.

The ORGANIZATION Of the Legislature.

It is of course impossible to predict be-
yond a peradyenture how the legislature will
be differed, but at the present writing the
outlook seems TO be much as indicated be-
low, No one has been prominently men
toned for president pro fempore oil the senate
except Hon. Justus Dartt Of Weathersfield
and there seems but little doubt that the
choice will fall upon him. There can be no
question as 10 the wisdom of such choice.
c. w. Brownell Of Burlington will undoubt-
edly be reelected secretary, and there is no
good reason why Frank A. Dwinell of Plain
field should not again be made assistant sec
rotary. Both Of these gentlemen were efficient
and faithful, and are thoroughly deserving OF
reelection. In the house the choice oil
Hon. James L. Martin of Londonderry for
speaker seems to be foregone conclusion
Mr.. Martins qualifications for this position
as shown during the two terms that he has
already served have gained ready recogni-
ton and render it almost certain that he
will again be chosen for the place which he
has already filled with such signal ability
Henry N. Newell of Shelburne having de-
clined a reelection to the clerkship OF the
house, that office will naturally go to w. w.
Stickney Of Ludlow, who has served with a
marked degree of acceptance as assistant
clerk in 1872, 1878, and 1850. DIN Merrill
of Enosburgb, and John E. Merrifield, the
member from Newfane in 1880, are men
toned as his probable assistants. e. W. D.
Hawkins of Starksboro, who has just been
elected states attorney for Addison county,
has been re-appointed engrossing clerk by
Secretary of State Nichols and c. S. Forbes
of st. Adams has been made clerk in the
executive chamber. Both of these selections
are good, the appointees being both popular
and efficient. Henry Oviatt of Montpelier
and Edward Dana of Rutland will undoubt-
eddy be appointed as reporters in the house,
but Robert Roberts of Burlington, the re-
porter in the senate of 1880, having been
elected a member of the house, new man
will be chosen in his place, but no name has
as yet been prominently mentioned for
the position.

SECRETARY FoLGER has evidently been
meditating on the old proverb that "a
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,"
and will not resign his portfolio until he has
been elected governor of New York. His
decision on this point is causing some trouble
with the managers who either wish to have
his present place to fill or fear that his course
will be quoted by the democrats to show
that he has no great confidence that he will
be elected. In an interview Judge Folger
made the point that there was no more rea-
son why the secretary of the treasury should
resign when nominated for governor of his
own state than there would for president
of the United States to resign when he had
been nominated for second term.

BRADFoRD.-Rev Allen Clark has preached
three sermons on sin, concluding the series last
Sunday He has dealt in an able manner with
sins unnaturalness, its self-propagating force,
and Its want Of reformatory power.....At the
Methodist house, last Sunday, was church extern
sion day. The pastor preached a sermon upon
that subject setting forth quite an array of facts
concerning the work which is being done through
out the south and west. During the terrific
thunderstorm of Tuesday evening last week, the
lightning played strange and vigorous freaks in
this vicinity. large pine tree was shivered
about one-half mile south of the village, the barn
OF Mr.. Brigham at the north end of the village
was struck and somewhat injured, and the resi-
dence OF j. b. Pickett was visited in a startling
way. The bolt struck one of the chimneys at the
latter place, portion Of the electricity passing
down the chimney, throwing out stovepipes and
bursting stoves. Another portion followed the
ridge pole to an iron rod, and by that passed
down into the house. Timbers were shattered to
splinters, lathing and plastering were torn off
and scattered about a freestone sink was perfor-
ated, leaving smooth hole about an inch in d-
ameter, and scarcely room in the house es-
capped damage There were seven persons in the
house at the time, but although Mrs. Pickett ex-
perenced quite shock no one was seriously in
jnred. Several of our people went to Fairlee
Wednesday evening to assist In celebrating the
fifth anniversary Of the marriage Of MT and Mrs
Albert Newton. The cosy home OF the happy
pair was full Of folks, fun gifts and cake. "A
musical recital was given at the village hall We'd
nesday evening by Eta May Hunt, assisted by
Mrs NJ L. Hunt and Addie r. Emerson. A small
but cultured audience considered the entertain
ment to be frst-class In every respect and thor
oughly deserving of patronage. u. W. Warden

accident as to be able to dispense with crutches.

place, made a short visit here last week. .. John
Mclaughlin and Josiah Smith are running

They report good yield OF grain on the hills
but very poor on the river. DIR. Jones does
not intend that his many customers shall suffer
by his absence at Montpelier during the coming
session Of the legislature as he has procured the
services of Willie Joslin as extra clerk and is
now in Boston making purchases to add to his
already large stock. The doctor has the good
will Of everybody now but won't there be a buzz
zng in his store after he returns from the legisla
ture II he fails to do something to amend the
present highway law?... There being no preach
ing at the Congregational church last Sabbath, a
goodly number of the congregation attended
worship at the Methodist church and listened to
excellent sermon from the presiding elder, Rev.
II. A. Spencer. Annie, aged seven, daughter
OF L. r. Joslin, was severely injured on the arm
on Wednesday of last week by being thrown
down on a stone by large boy while at play in

recess and this accident is one of the results

ard and wife started for Chicago, Monday on the
noon train. When at the depot c. L. Currier with
a body writ asked him to stop and settle a little
bill, but Leonard started for the car and the Of
ficer placed his hand on Leonard shoulder. upon
which Leonard drew revolver and ordered Cur
rier to let him alone but he did not all the same,
and Will came back and settled the bill, after
which he was allowed to proceed on his way.
We understand the debt was one contracted by
Leonards wife before marriage.
