Not since the New York Sun published its
scathing sarcasm on the Democratic party and
Gen. Hancock, on the week following the
Democratic victories in Ohio and Indiana in
the fall of 1880, wherein Gen Hancock was
tersely described as "a handsome man, weigh.
ing two hundred and fifty pounds" have we
seen anything in politics so unkndly cruel as
is New York Herald leading editorial of last
Monday. The article is an ugly slap at the
Democrats for their weak and temporizinR
course in ''harmonizing" in New York city
and restoring John Kelly to power for the sake
of the Offices The Herald starts out with the
very plain and direct notification to the Dem
ocratic party leaders that there is mo use of
all this fuss about their presidential candi-
date, and this for the simple reason that John
Kelly, according to the unmistakable logic of
events, Is their proper and necessary candi-
date. The Democratic party, the Herald says,
cannot hope to elect a president without the
help of New York; the state is Republican
without the city vote, and Mr.. John Kelly
controls the city vote. without Mr.. KelIy's
consent therefore, the Democrats cannot
elect president Without his help they are
helpless" The leaders and voters Of the par
ty in that city have put the power into his
hands for the sake of harmony and the offices,
and he is plainly inevitable for the presiden-
tial nomination if they hope to succeed. In
answer to the objection that Mr.. Kelly is too
ignorant for so high place. it is said that
'he certainly knows as much as the majority
of his party in Congress, which has been
foupA old &c Il
tant question, these many years" No Dem
ocrat will deny, it is added, that, concerning
the distribution of patronage, g Mr.. Kelly
knows enough to crafty every Democratic
othce-seeker in the land-and what good Dem
ocrat is not hoping for an office in 1882"
The Herald closes its column of sarcasm
with these paragraphs
'For president, John Kely-that is the
clear logic of the Democratic situation. 1t is
a weak thought to expect Mr.. Kelly to nomi-
nate some other man. He has nominated
mayors and they have deceived him. he has
nominated governors, and the party has re-
jected them. He is not a soft man, and now
that the presidential nomination is in aues-
ton, not only would Mr.. Kelly rightly refuse
to put in mere dummy to represent him,
but it would be a piece of rank dishonesty in
-'N ~ " IAOFooO IA plccb OF cOWafQlce
inviting that public contempt which brings
defeat
For president John Kelly--that is the
logical outcome of the Democratic situation.
Mr.. Kelly can carry the city by rousing ma
jorlty if he wants to- Tammany carries the
city the city carries the state; the state car
ries the country-so at least the Democrats
hope Mr., Kelly has now, or will have pres
emily, the greater part of the patronage of
the city in his control. He has his due place
and influence in the state organization. He

Westminster is not only one of the old
est towns in eastern Vermont, but the Con-
gregatonal society is one Of the oldest relig-
lous organizations. From the records we
ind that the first meeting Of the society was
called by Benjamin Burt, justice of the
peace, to be held May 18th, 17SS. at which
meeting John Norton, the proprietor of the
old Tory tavern, was chosen treasurer Soon
after this the meeting house, which belonged
to individual proprietors, was transferred to
this society. 1t was still in an unfinished
state, and at a meeting held April Both, l7S9,
it was voted to employ Asa Gage to finish it
for compensation of cl1O English money,
but payments were to be made in beef at 20
shillings per hundred, wheat at shillings per
bushel and other grain in proportion. At a
meeting held Jan. Sd, 1893, Lieut. Zacariah
Gibson and Major Averill were chosen to
take care aud clear the meeting house of
dogs on the Sabbath according to their dis
eretion" At this carly date the meeting
house was without the spire which is now the
admiration of all who see it, with its ''Bov
Nane' 100 feet from the ground.

"A mystery still shadows the overturning
and alleged robbery of the Jacksonville stage
near the Elm Grove in Coleraine q few weeks
ago. George Hancock, who was driving that
morning, and who is the only person who
knows much about the affair, claims he was
coming along as usual when his horses SHE'D
to one side of the road, as though frightened
by some person in the bushes, and there be-
ing steep embankment at that place the
stage was overturned but not badly damaged.
Mr.. Hancock was considerably hurt about the
side and back, from which injuries he was
confined only a short time. As soon as the
accident occurred he went to the nearest
House for help, leaving the stage alone.
When he returned he discovered that some
money under the coach seat was gone. The
money was in two or three packages, some in
his diary and pocket book, and some in
bank book, amounting in all to about 5000.
Whether Hancock was rendered unconscious
at the time is not known, but it is certain
that the money is gone.-N0rM adams

SOME PLEASANT WORDS,
which The Phoenix Appreciates and
Will try TO Deserve.

IFrom the Bellows Falls Times.1
The Brattleboro PHOENIX came out enlarged
to the amount of two columns last week, in
accordance with its previous announcement.
The PHOENIX has long ranked among the best
papers in Vermont, and it is gratifying to see
that its most vigorous days are attended with
financial prosperity.
From the Newport Express and Standard
The Brattleboro PHOENIX has lived fifty
years, and celebrated its anniversary last week
by charging its pages. 1t is one of the clean
est and best printed papers in the state, wor-
thy of commendation in every respect, and
We congratulate it on its prosperity.
from the Burlington Clipperl
The Brattleboro PHOENIX celebrated its ff-
heth anniversary, last week, with a liberal
enlargement, plainly showing that time has
dealt kindly with this, one of the most con-
servative and honorable of newspapers within
our borders. We shall continue to wish the
PHGNIx that success which belongs to all
honorable journals.
from the Randolph Herald and -,. s.
The Brattleboro PHOENIX was eI.a.se. p '
the last issue. 1t is one of our most reliable
and onterprising exchanges.
From the Woodstock Standard
The Brattleboro PHOENIX entered upon its
httieth year, last week, and celebrated the
event by an enlargement equivalent to two
columns addition. 1t is a most worthy sheet,
one of the best in the state, and we heartily
extend congratulations.
[From the St. Johnsbury CaedonianJ
The Brattleboro PHOENIX appeared last
week in an enlarged form, in celebration of
its tfteth anniversary The PHOENIX is a
clean, well-edited and ably-conduoted paper,
and journal that is a credit to Vermont
journalism. That it has survived the storms
OF half century is a reversal of the adage
that the good die young.

BY the strong vote of 126 to So Whining
ton voted on Tuesday to aid the Bratteboro
~ Bennington railroad to the amount of eight
times her grand list or S43 500 The meet
ing at which this vote was passed, we are
told, was very harmonious one and no bitter
or ungenerous opposition to the new railroad
was developed. Even those persons who
could not bring themselves to vote for bond
ing the town will not stand in the way Of the
enterprise. With her private subscriptions
Wilmington will bring her contribution to the
stock of the road up to full $780, 600. The
example which Wilmington sets in this i'm
portant matter is one to be emulatei. If ev-
cry other town interested will follow her lead
with like degree of readiness and cheerful
ness the opening of the coming spring may
see the new railroad under contract and its
construction during the season assured.

A meeting of the Republican National
Committee has been held in Washington this
week to arrange the basis of representation
in the next national convention, and 10 pre-
scribe methods for the selection Of delegates,
according tojthe instructions given the COM
mittee by the convention Of 1850 At Wednes-
days meeting the resignation of Secretary
Dorsey was accepted, Col Geo W. Hooker.
Assistant Secretary, was nominated to sue
coed Mr.. Dorsey but he positively declined
the honor. A vote of thanks was given Col
Hooker for his services as Assistant Secreta-
ry, and John A. Martin of Kansas was chosen
Secretary. Three several plans of represen-
tation were submitted. The one adopted is
that of Senator Logan, which retains the
present basis of representation, viz Four
delegates-at large from each state and two
delegates from each congra ssonal district,
with two delegates from each territory and
two from the District of Columbia The del
egates-at large are to be chosen by popular
delegate state conventions called on not less
than 20 days published notice, and held not
less than 80 nor more than co days before the
time for the meeting of the national conven-
ton. The choice is left to the Republicans
of each district to hold separate convention
or to have their national delegates selected by
their delegates in the state convention, with
proviso that the district delegates shall in any
case receive their credentials from the officers
of the district conventions. On this basis
Vermont Republicans will have eight votes
in the next national convention, and the total
membership of the convention will be $50.
The time and place for holding the conven-
ton will be fixed at a meeting of the commit
tee to be held in Washington on Dec 18th

The popular cantata Of Queen Esther
will be given by Prof. Alexaudcr's class in the
Congregational church, Thursday and Friday
evenings jan. - and 20. A deep interest
has been shown by those taking part in the
canata from the beginning, and judging by
their enthusiasm successful performance
may be expected. Additions to the funds are
constantly being made and the school will
probably be continued twelve or fifteen even
ings. The attendance averages upwards Of
seventy and the utmost harmony and good
feeling prevail.
"A largely-attended fellowship meeting of
Congregational churches was held ia the
church on Wednesday. The exercises con
sisted Of a Bible reading in the morning led
by Rev. NJ. Scwell of Westminster. with dis
cussions in the afternoon led by Rev C. H.
Merrill Of West Brattleboro and Rev. Geo
L. Martin Of Brattleboro. The exercises
were of much interest throughout, and the
excellent singing by Mr. AleHauder's class
was feature highly appreciated by all.
