Action of Vermont sheep-Raisers.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt, Jan. 1.-The annual
meeting of the Vermont Merino Sheep breeding
Association was held here to-day. Resolutions
were adopted reaffirming sympathy with the
National Wool growers' Association and with
the manufacturers and hailing with satisfaction
signs that look to the uniting of the latter's eff
forts with those of the wool growers 30
dvance their mutual interests; aeclar-
ing the Presidents message not the pro-
duction of a wise ripe and patriotic
American citizen, but the effusion of just
attaining the sophomore stage in the Golden
school of British political opinion; pronounc-
ing illogical the reasoning in the message, in
sulting to every intelligent woolgrower and la
ruin the wool growing industries of the United
States. The resolutions call the attention of
Congressman to the decline of Woodworking I'M.
der the operation of the present tariff laws as
executed. and urge that body to take such action
as will remedy the defects of these laws.

ing for the streets. The present gas
company has made the Council an offer
Of establishing an electric plant Of the

Politics In Indiana.

Mr.. Charles B. Maddox is teaching
school in the Hoosier State, and we are
permitted to make the following ex-
tracts from a letter to his father, Mr.. A.
n. Maddox, of this city:
II attended the big Blaine meeting
yesterday "wednesday at the Tippeca-
noe Battle Ground. It was a monster
affair. Every State was represented
even delegation from California. Saw
Blaine, Alger and dozens of other prom.
inent Republicans. They had three or
four speeches going on at once, and then
the crowd could not be satisfied. For.
aker seems to be very popular here.
Thursday was his day. ! did not stay
but one day. Thousands went prepared
to stay both days. Tents were pitched
and cabins built all over the grounds.
It was such huge affair that It is almost
impossible to tell anything about it in q
letter. There were great many log
cabins, with coons, coon skins and cider
barrels, in the delegations. The delega.
ton that caused the most excitement
was one with the usual log cabin, about
l2xl6 feet square, with doors, windows,
stick and mud chimney, . fire in the
fireplace and smoke rolling out OF the
chimney. Three live coons were ON the
clapboard root. A deer that had just
been killed was hanging at the corner OF
the house. The old.fashioned well.sweep
was near the door. Mauls, rip.saws, ETC.,
were scattered around In the yard, which
was inclossd by rail fence. Inside sat
the owner, dressed in primitive style,
smoking his cob pipe, with his coon dogs
near him. The ceiling was hung with
pumpkins" to dry, and tobacco, corn
and venison. The spinning wheel, ETC.,
were there also. Following the cabin
was row-boat on q wagon, with "Gro.
YER" sitting in the stern fishing. The
man was perfect image Of Cleveland'i
pictures: A great, big, fat fellow with q
moustache, silk hat and cheeks and face
as much like his as can be. The crowd
went wild with excitement, but he sat
there and fished as unconceIned as
though no one was watching him.
"Politics are lively here. Both par
ties are sending their best men into this
section Of Indiana. There are excursion
trains running all the time. They are
crowded so that they won't stop half O.
the time at the stations, as there is no
room for any more passengers"
