There was much more of pity for Burnside's
sad plight than of exultation over his fall in the
expressions of men on the street yesterday. He
Is believed by many to have been the complete
dupe of Lewis, and there are some things which
show that his illusions in regard to that versa
tile swindler are not even yet dispelled. On
wednesday night, when Sharp and Burnside
were talking together at the latters house. Burn
side declared that Leviss story as to the broker
with the ''tip" from the Standard Oil Company
was perfectly true. He said that Lewis was max
ing money rapidly and paying out legitimate
profits actually made to investors until the crash
came in Wall street Then it was only because
he didn't have as much money the
Standard Oil Company that he broke The
Standard Oil Company told their broker to
''stand under the market" and that tip was i'm

bought. The oil company with plenty of money,
could stand under the market, even if it sagged
considerably, but it did not require much of a
drop to crush Lewis and his little money.

yesterday that he made money instead of spend

them up" aud always sold them at an advance.

like, also gave people the impression that he was
something of a spendthrift. People don't stop

we ought to run away from our work, just as

believe in the principle. There was
no prohibition ticket in the field. The
republican prohibitionists concluded
that they could best serve their own
cause by uniting their forces with the
republican party, and through that
party seeking whatever legislation
may be needed to make the amend
ment effective. The same course
was pursued in Kansas and in Iowa,
when the prohibition amendment was
voted for and adopted in those states.
The main point to be gained is to Sc
cure a public sentiment IN state
that will demand and enforce prohi-
bltion rs remedy for the evils re-
sultine from the liquor business (; and
when this is done the remedy Is GER
tain to come, no matter how strongly
it may be opposed by the liquor in
terests in alliance with the democrat
ic party. Republican votes have
given to the cause it's triumph in
Maine, and the facts show that it is
upon this class of voters that the
cause is dependent for all Its hopes
of success in other states. The sue
cess of democracy means the defeat
of prohibition, and the triumph of
the rum power.-ETchGnge.

My friend, as you have criticised
an article of mine upon Life Insur-
ance Agents, pardon me if for the
time being, l turn critic myself. In
the first place, let me ask, are you
the Life Insurance Company? You
are not. Well, then, you are only
one of the appendages that is attach
ed to it. Bear in mind therefore,
that my language is addressed, not
to the company, but one of its APP
pendages.
This being the case, i: is evident
that your REV. Drs. Swing, Church
Chadbourne, and Prof. Coit,' have
descended to your level. | mean they
have left pulpit and college--exalted
positions in a worldly point of view
to wash in the same basin with Sam
Hill, and others of his profession
Strange ii is, that such ''great men,
should descend in their Icarian flight
to the position of being-not the
pump-only one of its small handles
You have insinuated that ''some
men have had the good luck TO inher-
it or marry little money; while you,
| being already married, couldn't"
Very good, if .'some men" have
struck bonanza by marrying, it is
their good luck, and am sorry, my
friend, that circumstances debar you
from the same privilege. 1t is not
my desire to trot family matters into
print, therefore, imagine, if yon can,
that the amount struck was a cool
million and good woman thrown in
as an accomplishment. You also
insinuate-n directly, but Indirect
ly-that | am ''engaging IN y bust
ness that defes and breaks the laws
of the state daily" Now, in a literal
point of view, 1t may be that you
have hit the truth; but show me a
man, Yourself included, who has lived
ND to all the statutes of Vermont to
the minutest letter That | ssdefy the
law" is false. 1t would be as foolish
as to defy the approach of death. If
/ do violate clause in the Vermont
statutes, it is because | am led into il
by men who claim to be as honest as
yourself. These men can be my jndg
es, not you. Before going farther
however, let me ask, how you know
that this law has been broken in tho
way you state? Is it by your own per
sonal experience? Have you dranl
, the contents from some bottle that
have furnished? Have you ever hao
tie stomach-ache in my store! Ii not

THE GOVERNOR-ELECT.

Samuel Everett Pingree, Governor
elect of Vermont, was born at Sails
bury, n. H., Aug. End, 1882, and
was graduated from Dartmouth co.,
lege with the class of 1857. He sub
sequently read law with the Hon. A.
P. Hunton of Bethel, and in due time
was admitted to the bar. Gov. Pin
gree was engaged in the practice of
his profession at Hartford when the
war broke out. He enlisted as pri-
vate in Co. F, Third Vermont Volun-
teers, and was elected lieutenant. At
the termination of his career as a
soldier DULY 81, 1864, he was lieu
tenant colonel. He resumed the law
business at Hartford and established
a good practice. His first prominent
appearance in politics was as q dele
gate in the convention of 1868, which
nominated Gen. Grant for the presi-
dency. In 1882, he was nominated
for lieutenant governor of Vermont,
and elected, of course. His candi-
dature for the governorship of the
State and his election by large ma
jority, are the latest steps in the pub
lie career of man whose modesty
and intellectual and moral worth rec
ommend him to distinction by the
suffrages of an intelligent common

The campaign has reached very
interesting phase. The democrats
have suddenly become interested in
temperance. Never before has the
temperance cause SO suddenly receiv-
ed so great and SO magnificent an ac-
cession in that interest They are in
favor of all republicans voting for
st. John Hence their grief, sorrow,
depression, horror, alarm, sackcloth,
ashes and mourning on Blaine's
speech over the Maine election last
week. Mr.. Blaine said not word
against the temperance cause in that
speech, but did decline to do any
thing on his part to introduce side
issue for the benefit of his opponents
in the pending campaign, and that's
what's the matter. Nor has he part
ed company from such men as Blair
of New Hampshire and Dingley of
Maine, both of whom are with genu-
inc and practical common sense most
earnestly supporting Mr.. Blaine. MOI
is this all, Neal Dow, one of the OF.

porter of Blaine and the republican
party. No true temperance man ant
no true republican will throw away
