Our Democratic friends have to
carry Burchard this time. And it
is the British Minister, Lord Sack
vile West. "It's quite English you
know" 1t seems that little while
ago California Englishman wrote
to the British Minister, at Washing
ton, asking his advice as to whom he
should vote, and stating that his faith
in Cleveland had been shaken since
his retaliatory message. Sackville re-
plies virtually telling him that Cleve-
land is heartily with England, and
that the retaliatory message was mere
political bosh. These letters have
been made public, and produces con-
sternation in the Democratic fold, as
this fully confirms the assertions here
tofore made by the Republicans.

learning that the matter was likely to
lose Cleveland hundreds of Irish
votes, Secretary Byard has given his
lordship his walking papers,"

1t is good thing that ex-Gov.

1t is one of the easiest things in the

its nourishment from the state. Mr..
Proctor made speech the other day
in connection with the Bennington
battle monument. This monument
may be an object of pride to a few
citizens who live near it, but nine
tenths of those who are compelled to
assist in paying for it will never see
it and have no interest in it. And
when you try to reconcile a man by
appealing to patriotic motives you
produce but feeble impression, es-
pecially if such man is struggling to
save his farm under mortgage.
Well, Gov. Proctor told the men,
bers not to be in hurry about scat
tering the States money. He said
that the financial condition of the
state was good, but not such as tc

that they can to defeat the party,
