The Vermontville Hawk has
changed hands, Mr.. F. M. Potter,
after more than six years active and
very efficient work, in which he has

1t is gravely announced by some of
the Democratic statesmen who have
been present at The Cleveland confer
ence in New York, that the president
elect will "stand by the tariff plank
of the national Democratic conven-
ton" Of course he will. If he
stands at all he can't help standing
: by a part of it. Equally certain it is
that if he had as many legs as Gen.
tipede, he couldn't stand by the
whole of it. Which part is he going
to "stand blythe free trade end or
the protection edge?

prise and ability in the management.
Success to the new publishers.

The Chicago excresence who runs

that we should not hold the Senator
responsible for the crazy utterance of
that Chicago fellow.
