A CORRESPONDENT of the Argus, in speaking
| of the recent republican mass meeting at West
Randolph, says; "The result Of the meeting
was to give Braintree to the democrats, and re-
duce the republican majority in Randolph from
three hundred to one hundred and seventeen"
The facts are that in 1880 Braintree gave
twenty republican majority on the governor
vote and in 1884 increased the majority to

and eighty-fve majority in 1880 and two hun

and its manager on recent visit was very
favorably impressed with Burlington and its
shipping facilities The company asks for no
gratuities or gifts of any kind, but merely de-
sres that some OF its stock be taken here, to
secure local interest in the company. The
opportunity seems to be a highly favorable one
for securing to the city an important and grow
ing manufacturing interest
THE Central Vermont railroad company is
experimenting with the nsw automatic draw
bar and self-coupler for freight cars lately in
vented by South Vernon man, and will put
them on to twelve cars. This invention is cal
culated to obviate any necessity for brake
mans getting in between the cars, the pin and
link being operated at will by levers at either
side or a rod at the top of the car. So far as
this apparatus has been tried, it seems to fill
the bill and does away with great deal of
risk on the part OF brakem an and others who
have to do with making up freight trains. The
company are also attaching to a few freight
cars an arrangement for putting on the brakes,
which can be operated from the engine, and is
designed especially for use in an emergency,
when the reversing of the engine sets the
brakes.
In the Waterbury items of last week c. C.
Warren's arrangements for filling his silos were
described. The successful and rapid work
done by a No. II Ross ensilage cutter was es-
pecially noticed and commended. The ma.
chine easily worked up seventy-tive tons OF
fodder in ten hours. The liveiest exertions OF
four men were required to feed its insatiate
nav, taking the fodder where it was unloaded
close by the side of the machine. With only
sixty pounds OF steam one load of thirty-three
hundred pounds was cut in twelve minutes
Under good working pressure the machine
would easily take care Of nine tons an hour
1t did its work perfectly, without clogging OF
tagging or any irregularity. This machine
was sold by D. l. Fuller & Son of Montpelier
agents for the Ross ensilage and fodder cut
ters, to whom our farmer-readers are cordially
commended.

Our esteemed neighbor, the Argus, is JUS
crawling out Of the hole into which it was 81
ingloriousy driven by THE WATERMAN las
Winter, anu, Win some OF ltb OlQ-tlme 6elf-Batls
faction, remarks: "We do not blame our es
teemed contemporary for being jealous OF on
superior knowledge of the affairs of its Owl
party in this state, and of the socitude whicl
: the leading men in the republican party Of Yer
mont exhibit for our support, in striking con
trast to the undisguised contempt with whicl
they treat Its utterances" There is no ques
tion about the solictude felt by candidate
concerning the support of the Argus, for mos
. OF them fear it as they would the blight
When 1t abuses republican roundly, hi
chances for receiving nomination and elec
tion are thereby greatly increased, but its favo
usually renders an aspirants case hopeless
This fact Is we'll illustrated In the recent guber
material campaign. After 1t had abused Hon
Frederick Billings in most shameless manne
. and opposed his candidacy to the best OF it
ability, the Argus itself confessed that h
would have been nominated II he had not per
sstenty refused the honor, while DR.. Nichols
whose candidacy our estesmed contemporar
favored, felt constrained TO withdraw from tn
race No wonder that leading men in tn
republican party exhibit solicitude about tn
support of the Argus.
