Hiram Atkins was present at the
polls all day experimenting the Dem
ocrats and the opposition to Edmunds.
Two we'll known Democrats in town
were seen and known to be in the town
hall peddling votes for the anti-Ed-
munds Republican candidate. Mr..
Atkins was loud in his boasts that he
would defeat Edmunds, and during
most of the day stood over the ballot
box, keeping careful watch lest some
emissary of his should desert him for
a moment. His conduct, in some in
stances, was characteristic of his bull
doing tendencies. In more than one
instance he was seen to snatch the
ballot from the hand of the voter
whom he recognized as a servile
supporter in past elections and dictate
a change of vote or administer a sharp
rebuke for having dared to come for
ward with Republican vote.-SprI19-

POLITICAL.

The Connecticut Republicans have
nominated P. G. Lounsbury for Gov
ernor, James L. Howard for Lieuten-
ant Governor, L. NJ. Hubbard for
Secretary of State, Alexander Warner
for Treasurer and Thomas Clark for
Comptroller.
The contest for the Tennessee Coy
ernorship between the Taylor brothers
recalls a fight for the United States
senatorship among the Salisbury
brothers in Delaware years ago. Cove
and Willard had fought each other in
the primaries, and the contest result
ed in a tie. Then Eli, who was the
least able of the three, and who had
not been thought of for the place,
quietly went to work and surprised
both his brothers by having himself
elected. He has held on ever since.

At the Massachusetts, Prohibition
State convention last week I. J. Lath-
rop of Taunton received an almost
unanimous vote for Governor. DR..
John Blackmer was nominated for
Lieutenant-Governor. The State tick
ct was completed as follows: Secre-
tary of State, Geo. Kempton Of Shar-

John L. Kiiburn of Lee; Attorney
General, Samuel M. Fairchild of Nal

The Republicans Of Wisconsin have
given their answer to those who criti-
cised Gov. Rusk for doing his duty
and suppressing anarchy. The largest
convention in the history of the State
met last week and renominated him
by reclamation. There wasn't dis
senting voice in the assembly, but
every delegate present, echoing the
sentiments of his constituents, enthu-
siastically supported the man who
dared to do what was right. Anarchy
isn't popular in Wisconsin, and the
Governor will no doubt be reelected
by a handsome majority, notwith-
standing Democratic attacks upon him.
The balance Of the ticket is: Lieuten-
ant Governor, George w. Ryland
Sec'y of State, E. G.. Timme; Treas
urer, Henry Harshaw; Insurance
Commissioner, Philip Cheek; Attor-
ney General, Chas. E. Easterbrook

We state elsewhere in this issue
that outside of Rutland County, which
from local causes was somewhat
mixed, the entire Greenback and scat
tering vote in the State as given by
the Free Press is only 203. By ref
erence to our tqbulated returns in an
other column it will be seen that more
than half of this number (121) were
cast in this county. In fact two of
the five members of the State ticket,
Truman Smith of Stowe for Governor
and Col. E. B. Sawyer of Hyde Park
for State Auditor are from our little
county. Col. Sawyer is the reeog-
nized leader of the Greenbackers in
this county. His proclivities, his in
stincts and idiosyncrasies, all draw him
towards the party of his former affilia
tons, and it is hard work for him, we
think, to resist his strong inclinations
to return. But thus far he and his
little Spartan band of followers are
reluctant to desert their standard,
even though the party has so far dis
banded in Vermont as to be virtually
extinct outside of Lamoille.

The result of our recent election
is quite gratifying. Gov. Ormsbee
proves to have above the average of
of-year majorities, being according
to latest returns 18,442, with a plu-
rality of 20,499 over Mr.. Shurtleff-
the vote standing Ormsbee 37,713
Shurtleff 1924. The total Prohib-
ition vote is only 1862. The county
of Rutland gives 4O2 scattering votes
nearly all from the Town OF Rutland
which elected James F. Hogan the
"Labor" candidate as representative.
The Greenback and Prohibition par
ties fail to have single Representa-
tive in either house or senate. In fact
the entire Greenback and scattering
vote combined, outside of the 402 in
Rutland county, growing out of the
Workingman's split in the village of
Rutland, is only 203 votes. Returns
have been received from all the towns
in the state and show only 81 Demo-
Gratis out of the entire 239 Represen-
tatives elected, being much less than
their average representation. The
county of Lamoille for the first time
in many years sends solid Republi-
can delegation, and SO far as known
every one is for Edmunds. We give
elsewhere the vote in this county on
Governor, Congress and County Off
GERS.

Letter from Kansas.
CLAY CENTER, Kan. j.,
Sept, Z, 1886.
MeSsrs. Editors:

Messrs. Editors:
AS it has been some time since |
have written you how we are prosper=
ing in Kansas T will take time now
and try and inform your readers. 1t
has been an unusually hot and dry
summer here. We have shad no rain
aside from a little sprinkle for six
weeks and the grass is drying up and
corn stalks are nearly all dead and
brown, and the ground is almost as
hard as pavement, but for all that, we
are going to have a fair crop of corn.
Probably more than half an average
crop. Oats were good and potatoes
are very plentiful and cheap, apples
are very good crop and have been
retailing on our streets for eighty
cents per bushel for weeks past. The
days of the festive melon are nearly
numbered, though occasionally good
sized load comes in to the city, drawn
by pair of big long-eared mules,
and retailed out Oh the street by the
owner, for nickel each, melons as
large as a good sized tin bucket.
Grapes were quite plenty and sold
for 40 cts. per basket of ten pound
each. Peaches were failure as they
usually are here, peas were raised in
moderate quantities.
The city is now draped from end to
end in mourning for our Mayor, Mr..
W. W. Walton who was killed in a
railroad accident yesterday short
distance south of Milford station.
We are to have big time here on
the %, % and 30th of Sept. 1t is
the annual reunion of the old soldiers
of the Fifth Congressional District in
Kansas, and we expect there will be
the largest crowd here on those days,
Clay Centre has ever had. 1t would
surprise some of the old settlers in
your county to come out here and see
the number of new blocks and private
residences that are being built here in
Clay. Probably from one to two hun
bred buildings have been built and are
being built here now since Jan. 1st,
and city of only about 5000 people.
They are building an Opera House
now that is going to be one of the
finest buildings in the state. 1t is to
be of pressed brick and limestone and
will be five stories high. Estimated
cost 1925, 900. We have added Elec-
trio lights to our streets the past sum-
mer and the number of subscribers to
the telephone exchange has increased
more than four times what it was in
the spring, and now we are soon to
have street cars, and in short we are
the most enterprising city you can
find west of the Mississippi River.

NOTES.

The railroads require nearly $15,-
100000 worth of timber per year for
ties alone-equal to the annual pro-
duct of a strip of woodland 400 feet
in width alongside every mile of track.
Charlotte M. Clarke of the District
of Columbia has vbeen appointed a
temporary, special agent to examine
the Indian school service.
One Of the largest religious gather
ings ever held in this country was the
Lutheran reunion on Wednesday Of
last week at Pen Mar, summer re-
sort on the crest of the Blue Ridge
mountains at the junction of Mary
land, Pennsylvania and West Virgin
ia. Fully 10000 members of the
church assembled there. About fifty
prominent clergy men were present.
United States Senator Mitchell is
the only great man in the United
States who can boast at present of a
baby son and baby grandson within
four days.
There are two families of the name
of Dodd in Barton County, Georgia.
They are not related, and interest in
them arises from the fact that one Of
the families is composed of nine girls,
while the other is made up of eight
boys.
Justice Stanley Matthews, W ho
sailed for Europe Immediately after
his marriage last June, has decided to
hasten his return to this country, ow-
ing to the injuries received by his
daughter while driving with Senator
Evarts a short time since.
And now it seems to be pretty well
established that Victoria Morosini-
Schilling is safely housed at Montreal
in care Of the Ursuline sisters, where
she will remain year or two. And
it transpires, also, that the husband,
Ernest Schilling has followed his
wife's example and disappeared, and
it is said Morosini gave him $4,000
to leave New York, where he had
been employed latterly as a car driver.

sor Proctor, speaking of earthquakes,

OF all the MANNED ex-Confederates

the first allowance, but has never
drawn any since.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Complete Returns - Republican
Majority over All, i3, 342.

The aggregate Gubernatorial vote
cast is 56,479, of which Ormsbee
(Rep.) receives 1861; Shurtleff

Greenback and scattering, 275. Re
publican majority IS, 342; Republican

Republican majority, 1882; plural

The Republican vote this year ex-
ceeds that of 1882 by 1912. The
Democratic vote this year exceeds
that of 1883 by 1925, the Prohibition
vote of this year being equivalent to
the Greenback vote in 1882 less four
votes only. The difference in gain
made by the Democrats and Republi-
cans this year is 685. Add this to
the difference between the scattering
vote of 1882 and that of this year,
267. and we have 952, which repre-
sents very nearly the difference be-
tween the Republican majority this
year and in 1882.

prising the First Congressional Dis
trict, give Stewart (Rep.), $1,000 !;

In two towns, Sheffield and Granville,
no Representatives were elected.
Anti-Edmunds Republicans represent
the towns of Bethel, Milton, Rich
ford, Middlesex, Bakersfield and St.
Adams. Edmunds Democrats repre-
sent Burlington, South Burlington,
Peru and Brookline. Washington
and Chelsea send Prohibitionists.
The following II towns, represented
by Democrats from 1884 to 1886, are
this year represented by Republicans :
Bradford, Braintree, Fairlee, Orange,
Vershire, Holland, Pawlet, Berlin,

Democrats Troy, Wells, Fayston,
Marshfeld, Brookline, Isle La Motto,
Bolton, Wheelock, Dorset, Peru,
Sandgate.
Three counties-Windsor, Addison
and Lamoille are represented exclu-
sively by Republicans. 1t may be
added that the Democrats though
casting larger vote than usual for an
off year, have lost in the General AS
sembly; also that the school question
has been a prominent issue in some
sections, and probably some Repre-
sentatives will go to Montpelier
pledged against legislation in favor OF

Vor of elevating to the Speaker
