Comrade Gibbs Iteniarks.

We are met upon this occasion TO cee-
bralc the sixteenth anniversary of the fOrma-
ton of the eldest G. \. II. Post in Vermont.
Sixteen years ago Generals Peck, Henry and
Stannard, themselves being members of the
G. A. X eXercl their Influence and sue.
ceedcd in establishing the Post in this city.
We have been in existence sixteen
years without losing meeting. In
the carly days Of the Post the boys
were somewhat frlsky, and theatricals
were performed by them in this hall. The
people Of Burlington have always been kind
friends to the Post and by their aid its debts
have all been paid. The appropriation for
the observance Of Mem rial Day in this city
was secured largely through the efforts Of
the Post So il seems that our Post has
been successful And vet it is by no means
mutual admiration society.
We feel that we are met tonight in good
plncC-in this hail that hes been dedicated
to patriotism and loyalty. This hall was
the rendezvous for our regiments. From
this hail they went out, and to it they re-
turned; and it was here that the ladies fur
nished refreshments to the returning soldiers
Of coarse III boys arc scattered now, oomc
of them arc in the great West but they say,
the country is too large, the praiIics too
broad, the lakes and canyons too deep and
wide for lone. Vermont makes the cosiest
Of homes. No people are happier and better
conteutcl than Ncimonters.
With this general Introduction, Comrade
Gibbs then called upon Governor Bars,ow,
who spoke substantially as frllOws:

publican National Committee also an.
nOunces that none of its members

that its little scheme for evading the law
forbidding political assessments is as
nearly perfect as it can be made, Incl
dentally it remarks that since there are
members Of Congress on both the Nation

mittees, neither of these committees can
lawfully levy assessments on Federal en-

they have neither the purpose nor desire
to levy assessments on ANYBODY
for contributions, voluntary or invoi-
untary. Mr.. Clapp's subcommittee
Will begin operations on Aug. l in
