an influential Democrat in this State,
that the Democratic boss of Vermont,
Hiram Atkins, while publishing President
Cleveland's order to Office holders in his
paper, the Argus, wrote letters diligently
to the Democratic Office holders in Yer
mont, requesting their presence at the re-
cent Democratic convention at Montpelier

Mr.. Cleveland.

THE SOLDIERS, monumENr.

Corner stone to be Laid on Next
 Thursday-The Grand Army of the
 Republic to Take Charge of the Cere-
 mOnies-City and Town Officials and
 Children of the Public Schools to be
 Invited to Participate.
 It was originally intended that the corner stone of the soldiers monument should be laid on July 4th next, but this plan has quite suddenly been changed, and as now determined the ceremony will take place on next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock The reasons for the change are briefly given. Senator J. D. Plunkett, one of the menu- ment committee, conceived the idea that the day named would be the most suitable time from the fact that it is the one hundred and eleventh anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. As the monument is to commemorate the four wars in the country's history, then it would be well if it's corner stone is laid on the anniversary of the first event it com memorates, the war of the Revolution. The senator made known his ideas to Colonel $. J. Fox and other members of the committee, and they recognizing the appropriateness of the suggestion decided to have the senator's views carried out if possible. It was found on inquiry that the contractors could be ready to lay the corner stone at the time named, and a meeting of the committee was called for yesterday afternoon at o'clock in the town agents office. The committee met in accordance with the call and were unan- imous in the opinion that the exercises should take place as suggested by Senator Plunkett. The time for making arrange ments is short, but it is not intended to make any very elaborate celebration until the fiji al dedication of the monument there will be no difficulty in carrying out the pro. posed plan which is briefly this: The Grand Army of the Republic of this city, consisting of Admiral Foote, Henry C.. Merwir and Won Steinwehr posts, the Sons of Vet erans and Ladies' Auxiliary corps will o1 course be the principals in the ceremonies It is also proposed to invite the children oi the public schools, the Board of Selectmen Mayor and Court of Common Council to par ticipate in the exercises. The general com mittee appointed General Frank D. Sloat Hon J. D. Plunkett and Colonel s. J. Fox g sub b-committee to make the necessary ar engagements.
 A full attendance of the comrades of Ad- miral Foote post at their meeting this even ing is requested, as the details of the corner stone laying will have been more fully devel- oped by that time and the committee will be able to state more definitely to the programme.
 As General Merwin, chairman of the gen. eral committee, sails for Europe to day it is expected that Governor Harrison will be se- lected to fill that position ad interim. If SC he will preside at the exercises on next Thursday.
