A Word OF Caution.

"Plaindealer writes the Windsor Jour
nal vigorous letter, dealing with the
question of the selection of successor to
Judge Poland in an outspoken way that
gives an emphatic negative to the query
he makes: "Should any man be sent to
congress from Vermont for no other or
better reason than simply because he
wants to 60, and has skill and money
enough to manipulate caucuses and buy
support ?" "Plaindealer closes with the
following words of caution:
has been audibly whispered about the
district for some time that very unusul means
and tactics are being employed in this canvass.
Reports come from various parts of the district,
apparently well authenticated, that certain
candidates and other friends are working ;
the Grand Army for all it is WORTH. as the
phrase goes; and some Of Them 1t is said, are
30 indiscreet az to boast that through the men,
bers of that organization they expect to pack
and control the caucuses, especially in those
towns where posts have been established,
and thus attain their selfish ends. Several
newspapers have mentioned this fact as an
item of news. Having some personal knowl-
edge of the objects and inside workings of this
noble order-instltuted solely for fraternal,
social and charitable purposes am confident
1t will not permit itself to be prosttuted in this
way; though am compelled to believe that

Education at Home and Abroad.

"a competent observer cannot but won
DER" says the Journal Of Education, at the
infatuation which still besets numbers of
worthy, sometimes cultivated, people con-
corning the value of an education for an
American child in foreign country. 1t
is not strange that the disciples of fashion,
who always ape the least creditable side
of European affairs, should place their
infants in charge of nurses whose only
qualification would often seem to be the
inability to make themselves understood
in grammatical English; yet, our pity for
these poor children, condemned to have
all their associations with early childhood
in foreign tongue, is only equaled by
our disgust at this entire realm of hybrid
social life. But the great mischief of this
delusion concerning European training
falls upon people who are really looking
for the best, and honestly striving for the

call her here) passage over to New York.
This unique thing, which confronts one
in the Rue de Vigny, towering above the
six-story houses, is really fine. The pose
is simple and majestic, and there are parts
of the drspery that have the delicacy of
work on statuette. You can hardly
realize that the folds on the huge robe are
stubborn bronze. The surface is so
wrought by the hammer that it gives the
effect of notified silk. Worth might be
proud of the sleeve of her mantle. The
gesture of the outstretched right arm is
full of spirit while the left, holding the
tablet, forms, with the head, beautiful
balance in the composition. 1t seems
sacrilegious to have an interior to such
superb creature. The entry is by the
sole of the uplifted foot-they say a
Chicago girl was the model-and tall
man can 60 in easily. Inside we seem to
be looking up to the lantern of Gothic

A ROOrbach.

Judge Poland's old supporters are not with
out hope that his denomination may be the
outcome, after all. Wherever they are and
whatever they do, this is their faith. They
may be pledged to others on the first ballot,
but their first choice always is Poland, for
whom they will forsake everything at any
moment. Any work they may be engaged in
for other candidates is a perfunctory service,
without heart or interest. Poland they are de-
termined to have if possible, and there is moth
ing in his recent letter to prevent. This is a
plain statement of the facts as they exist, and
all these gentlemen who are struggling for the
nomination should 60 to the convention know
ing just what to expect. - Woodstock Standard
From what source the Standard OBJ
tanned the facts of which it says the above
is "plain statement" we do not know.
As old supporters of Judge Poland" we
must emphatically deny the correctness of
the Standards allegations so far as they
may apply to US and to those with
whom we are acting in this canvass. The
canvass for Mr.. Dillingham; is as sincere
as any that was ever made. Men are en-
gagged in it who, two years ago, were the
stout opponents of Judge Poland as we'll
as his supporters. Dillingham's candi-
dacy has come to stay, and he aud his
friends will stick till the convention votes
them down. They accept Poland's letter
as finality, as it was intended to be.
Whether or not the Grout or Hooker can
vass is Poland boom in disguise we have
no authority for saying, but presume trust
worthy information could be obtained by
applying at Barton or Brattleboro.

A Plain Matter OF Business.

The question of the selection of Judge
Poland's successor in congress will be
practically decided at the primaries to-
morrow. The preliminary work has been
done. The policy upon which the district
should act in the matter of choosing a
representative in congress, the motives
which should inspire voters in their search
for a candidate, and the merits of the
candidates themselves, have been fully
discussed. The question before the dele
gates which will be chosen will be plain
matter of business. If the question is
treated in plain and business-like way,
it will be readily resolved without heat or
contention. is assumed that the great
mass of the people desire to be we'll repre-.
sented in congress, and that they care
very little what particular individual is
chosen to represent them, provided that
the best available man is selected. The
best and the most efficient service obtain

The Democratic Convention.

The spectacular incidents of the last
great political assemblage in Chicago
were not unlike those which have pre-
ceded and which the press has made ia
miliar to the non-attending public. The
organic machinery of the convention was
put together and set in motion without
any hitch. An exciting debate was had
over the effort of the minority of the New
York delegation, under the leadership
of Tammany, to break the unit rule.
The convention sustained the rule and
one-third of the New York delegates, who
were opposed both to the enforcement of
the rule and the nomination of Governor
Cleveland, were compelled to be counted
in favor of both proceedings. The nomi-
mating speeches were made while the
platform committee was laboring to rec
oncile its differences on various points
of national policy, particularly on the
questions of tariff and taxation. The
platform was finally completed and
adopted late Thursday night, and half an
hour after midnight ballot was taken,
with the following result: Cleveland,
three hundred and ninety-two; Bayard,
one hundred and seventy; Mcdonald,
fifty-six; Randall, seventy-eight Thur
man, lightweight Carlisle, twenty.seven;
Hoadley, three; Tilden and Hendricks,
one each; Flower, four. On Friday, the
18th instant, ON the second ballot Grover
Cleveland was nominated, receiving six
hundred and eighty-three votes out of
eight hundred and twenty. At the eve
ming session Thomas A. Hendricks of
Indiana was nominated for vice-president
by reclamation. The holding of the DEM
ocratic convention completes the issue in
national politics. The nomination of
Governor Cleveland simplifies the issue
in that it has determined in the negative
the question Of a nomination by the re-
