WHO is HE?

There is generally-eXpressed wish
to know who the candidate of the anti
Edmunds faction is, if Hon. John Gre
CORY Smith is not, as some of the papers
opposed to Mr.. Edmunds would have the
public believe. So far they have agreed
of Hon. Redtield Proctor, they have ad-
vOcated another, the nominee has prompt
ly declined. There are many reasons for
the prevalent opinion that the fight is
carried on solely in Mr.. Smiths interest.
Among the grounds for this conclusion
are these
/. 1t is known to all well-inform-
led persons thar Mr. Smith has long
hoped some time or other to sit in the
United States Senate. He is not as
young as Mr.. Edmunds, who, unless the
present opportunity were embraced to
oust him, could sit till he chose to retire.
Hence it is fair inference that Mr..
Smith considers it case of "now or
'never."
?. The newspapers either Immediately
under Mr.. Smiths control, like the Mes
senger; or in the hands of his friends,
are solid against Mr.. Edmunds.
3. The men who do the most talking
kagainst Mr.. Edmunds are all those who
have acted with Mr.. Smith heretofore.
1. The campaign has been carried on
n the way Mr.. Smiths movements
always are, silently and mysteriously.
The plan, clearly, was to see how big "A
nuss could be stirred up, and, then, if
he raid against Mr.. Edmunds seemed
likely to succeed, Mr.. Smith could
announce his candidacy; but if, on
he other hand, the anti-Edmunds
boom did not materialize, it could be
laimed that Mr.. Smith had not been in
he field at all. 1t is not probable

ANOTHER LIE NAILED

We can quiet once for all the Demo
cratic lie that Senator Edmunds voted a
blank ballot in Bennington in 1854. There
was not a blank ballot in the boXes-but
one scattering vote was found, and if re-
quired we can name the man who cast
that and who it was for, and therefore
know that this scattering vote lies not at
our Senator's door. He voted the Repub-
lican ticket.-BenningtO Banner.

james starns, with His Second Wife, Meets
His First Whom He Thought Dead.
Chattanooga (Tenn.) Special.
A romance almost without parallel came to
light in this city to-day, and intrcately is the
plot interviewer thatit would make truth appear
stranger than fiction. Thirty years ago there
resided near this city. then a struggling village,
James Starns, a sturdy young farmer, with his
wife and two little boys. In 1854 Starns con-
cluded to try his fortune in the West and went
to California month later, having found a
pleasant settlement, he sent his wife money with
which to join him. Mrs. Starns wrote, saying
she would start in two months, but at the end of
that time she had received no reply. Starns
wrote letter after letter to his wife and relatives,
and she wrote to him. but neither ever received
a word of the other.
Ten years afterward Starns sent his wife $500,
but the money was sent back to him, no one
wife supposed each other dead. Mr.. Starns went
to Michigan, and from thence to Wisconsin,
where six years ago he married the daughter of
wealthy farmer.
By some strange fate he drifted to Chatta-
nooga last week. Not even the oldest inhabitant
remembered him. and he could find no trace Of
any of his folks. To-day he learned that family
named Starns resided near the city, and procur-
ing carriage took his wife to ascertain whether
not they were his relatives Arriving at the
house, Starns was Mortified to find the aged.
white-haired lady who received him was no other
than his wife, and he realized the fact that he
had two wives. An explanation followed, and
the two wives were introduced, but each eShib-
tied marked GOODNESS. The parties refuse to
talk, and it is not known what they will do.
