Democratic Rally Tonight.

Announcement is made that there is to
be a meeting this (Friday) evening of
the Democrats of Middlebury and vicin-
itv. and of all Others favoring the election
of Cleveland and Hendricks, at the town
hall. Yet the invitation does not stay
here. Ladies are especially invited to
be present, and the circular announces
that ushers will be present and good or
der maintained; and yet again all are in
vited to go and hear the speakers " tell
the truth" These speakers will be Hon.
LW .Redington, Democratic candidate for
governor; Hon. William Slade of Ohio,
and Prof. ID. n. Burke Iof New y ork.
Music will be furnished by the band.
The speakers are all well-known gentle
men, who will doubtless do themselves
credit in trying to turn the tide so strong
ly running against them. At any rate it
will pay to hear, even if you differ with
them.

The Independent Conference.

At meeting of the Independent Re
publicans, held at Montpelier. Tuesday
evening, the following resolution was
passed:
Resolved. That as the time is too short &c
make Il thorough organization of lndepen-
dent Republicans throughout the State, we
deem it inexpedient to put State ticket in
to the field, and leave it to each Indepen-
dent voter and each Independent organiza
ton to take such action in the coming State
election as in their judgment may best adj
vance our cause.
After the passage of the resolution a
State committee was formed for the par
ty, consisting of one member from each
county. 1t appeared from the reports
that there were at least 5000 lndepen-
dents now in the State, and the detection
spreading rapidly. 1t is understood that
the committee will meet soon to perfect
further organization.
