they are of little use, as the present expert

it is said, she has drftcd in "a helpless cOndi-

bAlNEsNlILE, ia, NOV. -, 1881,
Editor PhOeaiI 1t seems from several
letters written by parties at the North to some
of our townsmen, that some evil minded aud
mischief making genius in our midst has pub
lished through some portions of the North
and North. west, a statement that at a recent
Democratic ratification meeting held in this
town, the Union flag was trailed in the dust,
aud the rebel flag Haunted to the breeze and
carried at the head of the column as the men
marched in procession. Lest such vile SLAM
der may have reached you, aud been credited
by your readers as the truth, desire to de.
nounce the statement as falsehood Of the
deepest dye-and those who know me within
the circulation of your paper will know
speak the truth when | say It.
1t is true the Democracy Of this town
Joined in a ratification meeting aud torch
light procession when the news reached US of
the election OF Grover Cleveland to the pres.
ideucy, and for several hours paralvd the
streets rending the air with their shouts of
Joy at the victory gained, serenadng the Re
publicans and prominent men of the town.
At the head of the column waved the grand
old Union hag-its stars and stripes thrown
proudly to the breeze honored and respected
by all.

Republican, voting both the state and national
Republican tickets, an emigrant from the
Green Mountain State" and have always
been free to express myself as such without
fear or molestation.
Our population of $500 souls is made up
from nearly every state in the union, of every
political faith and religious belief, joined to-
gether in earnest endesvor to promote the
prosperity of our common country, and
while our political faiths may differ, freedom
of speech abounds. The people are honora-
BILE, enterprising and liberal, striving to build
up a city that shall do its citizens credit and
be an honor to the state.
We extend hearty invitation to all in the
North who may desire to seek the genial cline
of Florida, to come and settle among Us, aud
you may rest assured that freedom OF speech
is as characteristic here, as in your own -four
ishing town. Such statements as the one re-
ferred TO at the commencement of this letter,
are an insult to every Republican and Demo-
crat 10 the South, and We trust the time may
speedily come when such scandals shall be
wiped out and the truth prevail. We hope
in 1888 to send up Republican electors from
our adopted state of Florida.

Whitaker as his lawyer to try aud prove it.
Whitaker is a red hot Democrat and was for
merly clerk in the Boston post office.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is alleged to have given, in
a roundabout way, something like one half
the money which the Democratic National
committee expended in the campaign.
The Boston Post has the information that
while under a Republican administration the
bakers have charged Is cents for a pot of
beans, since the election of Cleveland they
have seen the chirography on the plastering

Mr.. Blaine has rented for the winter the
house at Washington built and owned by
Ex-senator Window of Minnesota. He pays
$4,000 year for it. His own house in Wash
ington is rented for $l3, 600.
The Providence Journal thinks there is
little need of denying the story that Gail
Hamilton, Mr.. Blaine's sister law, is work

DIR. Burchard.
1t ia given out that President Cleveland
will attend DR.. Bartletts New York Avenue

A comparison of the official figures of the
vote for Blaine and Cleveland in the II
northern states east of the Rocky mountains
with the vote in the same states for Garfield
and Hancock in 1880 shows that Blaine suf-
fered a loss of $50, ZIG in those states. Gar
fields pluralities amounted to 5O7, 991, while
Blaine's we're only 357,275. The increase of
votes for both the Republican and Democrat
ic tickets from 1880 to 1884 was 1876, $50. OF
this increase Blaine received 1872, O49, and
Cleveland 3O4 $40. Therefore Cleveland re-
ceived more than twice as much of the in
crease of votes in those states as Blaine did
In some states the results were exceptional
Thus, Blaines plurality in Pennsylvania was
A 200 larger than Gar6eld's, but in Iowa
Garheld's plurality was 5000 larger than
Blaine's. In Massachusetts, Blaine's plurality
was nearly 10000 less than Garield's in
Illinois, $4,000 less in Michigan, 80, 600
less in Vermont, 5000 less; in Wisconsin,
$4,000 less. In the southern states, on the
other hand, Hancocks pluralities exceeded
Cleyeland's by over 10000. These figures
both in general and in detail, bear out our
claim of last week, that Mr.. Blaine proved a
weak candidate, and that it was the candi-
date and not the party, that was beaten.

The Legislature of 1884 shows upon its own
record that it had no convictions, or having
them, had not the courage of them. No
great work lay before it, it is true, but it had
an opportunity to do the state needed ser
vice in several directions and refused to make
use of it. The general estimate makes the
House a weak body as a whole, and the SEN
ate failed to maintain the traditions Of that
branch as a strong, watchful, and conserva-
tive factor in our legislation. There art ex-
ceptons to this rule, and some of the most
noted ones, we are happy to say, are found
in both the Senate and House members from
Windham county, but as whole our criti-
cism holds true.
The Senate allowed the Central Vermont
influence to kill of all legislation intended to
protect the rights and interests of the people
as against the railroads, an act which keeps
the state far behind her neighbors in a very
important particular. The House showed a
fatal inability to grasp the fact that Vermont
has fallen far behind the times in her school
system by refusing to pass the bill making
the town system compulsory. The free text

The south OF To-day,

Last week, in abiding to Mr.. Blaine's Au-
gusta speech, in which he dwelt on the fact
that the election had been controlled by the
Southern states and magnifed the dangers to
be feared from the rule of the Solid South,
we spoke of it as a speech which, while true
in one way, was at the same time pernic-
iously one-sided statement of a question of
national Importance. Opportunity did not
then permit us TO discuss the subject in de-
tail, but the occasion leads now to put on
paper certain personal observations on the
Southern question which we have had in mind
for some months past.
During last May the writer was one of
party of New England newspaper men who
made a somewhat extended journey through
the South, taking in especially Southern Yir-
ginis and the states of Tennessee and Geor.
gia. From the manner of their reception by
the people of all the larger places on their
route the party probably saw more Of the re-
ally representative men of the region, and
heard more individual expression of public
opinion than the traveller in the ordinary way
would have done in a much longer period.
From the time they first set foot on Southern
soil at Norfolk, Va, till they turned their
faces homeward at Atlanta two weeks later,
and came back to the North through West
Virginia and Maryland, the one thing which
these gentlemen heard affirmed over and over
again, and emphasized in every possible way,
was the fact that the people of the South feel
themselves, as never before, equally and at
one with the North members of a common
country that they look no longer back to the
past, but forward TO the future that the well
fare Of the American Nation is as dear to South.
ern hearts as to Northern; that its flag is
their flag that the Mason and Dixon line

better day has dawned, and New South"
has indeed come. We know that to Northern
ears all this has the sound of pretense and
assembling, but in the minds of the men of
whom we speak it at last overcame their north.

sincere expression of manly men who scorned

From the New York Tribnnel

IFTOm INC new lOfK ITIOunt.I
Last year, according to the report Of the
commissioner of internal revenue, the people
of this country consumed II, 57S, 1913 barrels
of beer. This, at 81 gallons to the barrel is
554, $40, Alb gallons nearly ten gallons yearly
for every man, woman and child. But az the
infants under ten years of age are not large
consumers of beer, it may be more interest
ing to observe that we consume fully fifteen
gallons for every person, male or female,
over ten years of age, and about barrel of
beer yearly for every person engaged in any
gainful occupation. The consumers pay for
beer by the glass, as a rule. Whoever pleas
es can calculate the tax which labor voluntar-
lily bears, at the rate of a barrel of beer for
every worker, male and female.

viii the Republican oiceholders be allowed to hold
their places, under cover Of the spurious civil
service reform talk The great issue in the late
campaign was administrative reform, and there can
be administrative reform II those who have made
that reform necessary left to administer the affairs
of the country The supporters of Cleveland claimed
that the public service permeated with jobbery
aud corruption To allow those guilty OF that corrup-
TESS that the Democrats and Independents were all
liars. II going to all the danger Of for
gerry dishonesty, false pretensons robbery and Job
berry, then the new administration must turn the
rascals out" We have no doubt that the incoming
administration will act the conviction that the civ
IL service only be reformed by removing the men
from the ONCE who are responsible for the maadmn-
istration that the country has suffered from.
Here is the real Democratic doctrine, bold
ly stated in few words 1t is the same doc
trine which Gov. Hendricks has publicly pro-
claimed on several occasions since the cleo
ton. Nothing short of a clean sweep of ev-
cry Federal office will answer for the party
which is very hungry and very thirsty"
But if by any possibility it should happen
that Gov. Cleveland doesn't accept this doc
trine, how like Dead Sea fruit the wild &C.

tory, which nothing short of two pages Of
