-Rumors which have been current during
the past week, to tho effect that tho Howe
scale works AT Rutland had gone into the
hands of a receiver, are explained as being
due to the fact that the company is fighting a
500 claim in New York, and undor the New
York law a receiver is appointed to hold the
receipts from any goods sold In that state to
satisfy this judgment il the case shall DO dc.
cided against tho company. This is tho ex.
tent OF the 'receivorship." Tho manage
ment Of tho company is in the hands of trus-
tees for the benefit of the creditors, as il has
been for year past and its business is said
to be good.

ued war on polygamy, and the protection Of
our industries. A Democratic success means
we don't know what II means. We don't
know what the principles of the Democratic
party are. That party the speaker likened
to steer caught upon fence which IL had
tried to leap over. It could neither bunt in
front nor kick behind. II Blaine is
eleoted-as he will be, said Mr. Haskins-
there is not citizen brit will be fully pro-
tected in his rights wherever or whoever h
may be.
Prof. Markham then sang an original cam
paign song, which was encored, the refrain
being, "Its Just an Idea Of My Own"
Hon. j. M. Tyler said that though this was
Republican ratification meeting, he hoped
TO see hundreds of Democrats come over TO
the support Of the ticket during the cam
pagn. Let us indulge in no vain regrets, he
said, over the failure Of our Vermont dele
gates TO secure the nomination of Edmunds
the result was through no fault of theirs
The convention which nominated Blaine was
more truly than any previous one, conven-
ton of the people, and IL is our duty to &C.
uuiesce in its decision. Maine had stood by
Blaine for seven consecutive elections he
had been for six years speaker of the House
of Representatives and had rendered the
country conspicuous and valuable service;
he was endorsed and trusted in by President
Garfield. For one the speaker would not
withhold from such a man his confidence and
support. Referring to the independent bolt
ers, MIR. Tyler said he had no clubs to throw
at them, but no wanted to know what
they expected to gain by their course They
could have no affinity with the Democratic
party, which was distinguished for nothing
but inefiiciency and had maintained its power
only by defrauding freemen of their ballots
While these northern independents are pro-
posing to leave the Republican party because
Of its alleged shortcomings, the news comes
from Virginia that the reconstructed rebel
general Senator Malone has given in his al.
legisnce to that party rs the best means of
promoting the welfare Of the South as we'll
as the North and securing to all the benefits
of good government
Another campaign song was then sing by
Mr.. Willis to the tune of the BATTLE Cry of
Freedom" after which those present were in
yited to come forward and sign their names
as members of the Blaine and Logan club
while the band played.
