THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.
some Pertinent Questions and Sugges
lions.

some Pertinent Questions and Sugges-
lions.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
What man in the Senate is the most
dreaded and hated by the Democrats
What. man has done the most to.warrant
that hatred Who is the most dreaded by
the iobbing and contracting leeches about
the capital Vermont recognizes the
man. The nation recognizes him and
looks with establishment ut the effort to
retire the foremost man in its Legislative
halls
Mr.. Edmunds is held personally respon-
sble for the defeat of Mr.. Blaine, This is
the only charge brought against him, and
we are asked to retire him from the Sen
ate on this ground alone. This Is dodge,
and those who are using it hope the voters
of the State will not see the point. Tween
ty years ago two of the ablest .men Il the
House of Representatives at Washington
commenced personal quarrel that mas
been kept up until to-day, and which re-
suited in disaster to themselves and the
party they represented. That quarrel and
rivalry retired one of them Roscoe Conk-
ling, to private life, made Cleveland gov
ernor of New York, and SO opened the way
for him to the presidency And that same
quarrel beat Blaine out of the nomination
for the presidency once, and finally when
ne was nominated, III carried tne Slate Oh
New York against him. There is no
fact in political history better known
and understood than this. Ii there is any
thing to be credited in political history,
James q. Blaine must shoulder immense
responsibility for the defeat of Folger
when Cleveland was made governor !?
Do The friends of Blaine remember the
campaign in New York Conkling to-
day, rs in 1884 would beat Blaine or any
of his pronounced friends, because the old
quarrel is not yet settled. And i'll the
face of these facts, and ignoring the St
John vote, Senator Edmunds alone Is
charged with the loss of New York. That
there was GOODNESS between the Republi-
can nominee and Mr.. Edmunds it is use
less to deny The men were too dissmilar
in every way. Edmunds Is IA man of con
vctions, Blaine of eXpediency. 1t is nee
essary to remember some of these things.
Republicans should learn wisdom from
the past, and they must pull together III
the future, if the party is again to win.

AN AWFUL CALAMITY.
Sundays Fire In Stry Stin Raging-An
Appalling Situation.

VIENNA, April 19-The town of Stry. in
Galicia was Sunday almost completely
destroyed by fire. The number of houses
burned was about 600. Many persons
were killed. The inhabitants are desti
tute. A high wind was blowing and the
fire started in several parts of the town
about the same time. Many inhabitants
were killed by falling walls and steeples
One hundred persons were killed on one
street. The town hall, the railway station
and the telegraph office were destroyed.
A large number of wounded were eXtrica-
ted from the ruins and were sent to Lem
berg, distance of ~ miles, where the
hospitals are crowed with the sufferers.
Hundreds OF persons are missing. Lack
of water rendered aid by the military
futile. Money and food are being col
lected in the surrounding towns for the
relief of the sufferers. The fire originated
in small shop and was caused by the
talling of Il lamp filled with petroleum.

The Banner supports Edmunds.
Charlotte, April, 1856.
bennington Banner. April 1871

bennington BtuncT, hpTll IN.
We have not been in favor of making
the question of Edmunds or anti-Edmunds
an issue in the state canvass nearly upon
us, and we still regard it rs Il grand mis-
take to bring in matter of that kind as Il
test Our position was clearly defined a
few weeks since.
The Banner supports Senator Edmunds
for reelection, and we shall do what lies in
our power, but claim to do so from other
and higher considerations than those re-
ferred to. Edmunds stands upon the pin
nacle as II constitutional lawyer. Mother
man in this country begins to command
the confidence of the Senate and people
that is accorded him on this point. Can
Vermont affOrt to retire such u Senator :
We say she cannot, and submit that per-
s0nal campaign belittles the good sense
of our citizens. Very few measures in the
Senate are political; our people under
stand this. They involve the legal and
constitutional bearings of the proposals
and no state has the single influence of
Vermont because of Mr. Edmunds s known
learning and ability.
Senator Edmunds began years ago at
the foot of the senatorial ladder. His pre-
sent position is of worldwide fame. He
is chairman of the Judiciary Committee
of the L. 5, Senate and with that and Sen
ator Morrill's craftsmanship of the Fin
ance Committee, Vermont Is hOnOred as
as no other state is likely to be during the
life and service of our Senatorial delega
ton. Can Vermont afford to lose this
prestige and influence by retiring Mr.. Ed
munds Certainly not. And it seems to
us that this decision is one of too much
importance to he urged by anything APP
proXimatng the political methods which
are characterized i'll other states rs quest
| ionable.
Then, again. Vermont has many noble
sons, but none who could take the place
now held by Geo. +. Edmunds. They each
would of necessity begin as others have
done, and while grOUing to prominence
our state would lose its present proud dis
tincton. Can we afford to incur this risk
| Everybody will say, no. 1t Is no part OF
our present purpose to apologize for Mr.
Edmunds's mistakes. He would be more
! than human not to have made many dur
ing long service in public life.
He leads his party to day in Congress:
and none would be more pleased than tn,
State and National Democracy were h,
defeated With "a candidate of Mr.. Ed
munds's known integrity these fact
should be all that need be recited to secure
his re election.

Hats and Clothing.

1t is unquestionably true that deal
er, who buys and sells goods strictly for
cash and gives his personal attention to
every detail of his business, thereby tax
ing the benefit of all extra discounts al
lowed by manufacturers for ready pay
at time of purchase, and avoiding the loss
OF money by not contracting bad debts,
and by his constant presence at his place
Of business, thus knowing that all his
patrons are courteously treated and fairly
dealt with, can sell goods cheaper and
give better satisfaction to his customers
than one who conducts his affairs in a
loose slip-shod way. Therefore when in
search of GOOD CLOTHING and fine
HATS never buy until you call at the
Establishment of Nicholson, The Halter
and Clothier where you will be supplied
with the best goods at as low prices as
poor goods will cost you elsewhere

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.
Paris Letter to the London Daily Telegraph
A novel and dangerous operation has
just been performed here by DR.. POlailon
The patient was mountebank named
Luchon, who in the pursuit OF his
calling, swallowed large fork.
which stuck fast in his stomach. 1t was
in vain that he tried TO get his finger
down to the tip of the fork, so he had to
leave 1t in there in the hope that no harm
would ensue. In few days, however
he felt acute pain, particularly when his
stomach was without food. DR..
Polaillon was unable to find the
position of the fork by means OF the
ordinary sounding instrument, so he
employed another with which he
contrived to touch the prongs. He then
made an incision in the mans abdomen,
and extracted the fork. In his report
to the Academy on the subject, DIR.
POlailliOn enumerates fourteen cases off
similar kind, in seven of which the fork
only formed an abscess on the stomach.
