Letter from senator Edmunds.
MONTPELIER, VT, Nov. 19.-Following
is an extract from q letter written by
Senator Edmunds. which was sent yester-
day to the editor of the Daily Vermonter
for publication, to whom 1t was addressed.
1t has been kept from the public nearly
two years. and is probably the only per-
sonal explanation from Senator Edmunds
which the public has obtained concerning
his position in the last Presidential cam
| paigu. The person by whom it was read
is we'll known. and l can vouch for it's
authenticity, though the recipient desires
that his name be withheld.
WAsHINGroN. April 10. 1885.
Dear Sir: l have your very kind and
welcome letter Of the 10th. and thank you
heartily for it. 1t ia tsue my position was
! irving, for, ON reflection, I felt that it
was better that the Republican ticket
| should succeed, whatever my personal op-
| inion had been and was concerning q can
| didate, than that the Government should
no ;nto tho hapHI of tina tin marty
butt could not, under any circumstance
or temptation. say that l believed some
thing about q candidate that / did not
believe, and il l were to make speeches and
say what l did believe, as to a certain trans-
action, etc. Or was, so speaking, to re.
fuse TO answer questions on these topics,
it would be especially worse for the party
than staying at home. l know, therefore.
that l did tho best thing for the party
that an honest man could do.
Terrific Rain and wind Storm.
-CHAMBEnsBURG, Pa, Nov. 19.-Yester-
day a rain storm set in and continued all
day. The rain descended in torrents, and
last night the wind commenced blowing
in gales. This morning about z O'Clock
q regular tornado struck the town with
clouds OF purple color, houses rocked TO
and fro, and several were lifted from their
foundations. 1t is impossible now to tell
the extent OF damage, which was great
est in the rural districts. Ends OF houses
were blown in, barns leveled with the
ground, schoolhouses upset, trees torn
out by the roots and fences carried away.
Much fear and excitement prevailed, and
the lives of many at various times were in
imminent danger. Up to this time no
loss of life had been reported.
In Favor of IL Strike.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. 19.-It is de-
clared that the strike in which 20. 900
cotton operatives will take part, will be
| inaugurated here within q month, unless
the manufacturer grant an increase in
wages. The demand made by the spinners
two weeks ago. 10 have wages restored TO
the rates paid in 1884, was 80 unfavorably
received by the mill owners. and such
disinterestedness was displayed in their
neglect to notice il, that the operatives
of all grades became exasperated. and
there is now a strong feeling In favor OF
the strike.
