THE START.

As soon as guide familiar with the
country could be obtained the hounds
were moved out and the surrounding
country diligently drawn. The rain,
however, coming steadily down, destroyed
the scent of the fox, and after energetic
efforts the hunt experienced an entire
failure to strike trail. Some seven
miles bad by this time been covered in a
northerly direction from the James-Riyer

RKYNARD II.

A second red fox was Immediately
turned out. aud at the expiration Of
about twenty minutes the hounds-lOf
in number were brought forward and
soon opened on the trail. A most beau
hful sight was then presented to the
lovers of the hunt, the hounds running
in every direction before the scent was
made off, the horsemen cavorting and
restraining their steeds. The doubling
of the fox made it difficult for the hounds
TO follow the track. Soon, however, he
straightened out, and crossing his former
track ran III westerly direction-the
hounds all in full cry, the huntsmen
(and Miss Sully conspicuously) well up.

MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

One thing the late campaign has brought
prominently into view, and that is the
unscrupulous illegitimate use of money
in elections. Voters were undoubtedly
bought over by the thousands in the
close States, and we fear that one party
was little better than the other. And
the curious phase of the matter is that
public opinion does not condemn it. Now,
such procedure cannot be tolerated long
in a republic. In the first place, it costs
too much money; and, secondly, it under
mines the very foundations of govern
ment. The ballot is not given to men to
be sold, and the moment it is generally
in the market our institutions will fall.
Various remedies are proposed. One
is that embodied in the bill which Gov.
Hill of New York vetoed last winter. That
measure was designed to prevent frauds
and would have prevented the worker
from seeing the voter deposit his ticket.
The arguments advanced in support of
the measure were substantially these, as
stated by the Buffalo Express:
The vote buyer will not negotiate un-
less he can be assured of a delivery of
the goods. A system of balloting under
which the worker or watcher could not
see the elector deposit his ticket would
wholly do away with corruption at the
polls. The class of men who sell their
votes are not even honest enough to
"stay bought" and no one knows this
better than the corruptonists. Poit-
clans will not buy pig in poke.
Possibly the law will have to disfran-
chise those who sell their votes, if they
can't be stopped any other way.

EAST MlDDLEBURY CELEBRATES.

Our East Middlebury correspondent
writes: The iubilant Republicans of East

was splendidly illuminated. Among those
especially brilliant were the post-otlice
and j. p. Champln's house, j. j. Man
ney's, NJ. Z. Days, A. Peck's and w. Will
cox's. The boys were musical with
gongs, horns, etc. Added to all this were
the splendid fireworks. Red lights were
elevated beside the Harrison and Morton
flags and in front of NJ. E. Days store.
Salutes were fired and many cheers given
1t was time of rejoicing. They felt that
the tribe of Benjamin had come up out OF
the wilderness into the promised land
The last feather that broke the camel's
back was free trade.

at the late election was 2S,404.
Representative Butterworth of Ohio is
one of the foremost candidates for speak

The cold weather has caused an abate-

There have been oyer 1900 cases at Jack

President Cleveland retired on Tuesday
to his country-seat, Oak View, and will
there write his message. The outcome
of the recent election ought to furnish
him with all the text he needs.

In 1886, as third-party candidate for
governor, Gen. Fisk polled nearly 10000
votes in New Jersey. This year, as can
didate for President, he was expected to
receive at least 10000 votes. The returns
give him about 1850, which is only few
hundred more than st. John had in 1884.
1t was a case of great expectations which
totally collapsed Boston journal.
Among the men suggested for members
of the cabinet of Gen. Harrison is eX-
Gov. Redfield Proctor of Vermont. Coy.
Proctor is an intense partisan, but he is
one of the most level-headed, sagacious
men to be found anywhere, aud If the
new President can induce him to accept
cabinet position he could not make a
wiser selection.-[ Argus. But we sus-
pect that Gov. Proctor has too much
business of his own to take any position
of this kind.

THAT WEARY MIDNIGHT VIGIL.

From the New York Tribune.
Time: midnight, November, 1855 Place the
White House. Those present: President
Cleveland and Dan.
"Dan," said the President, heaving a
convulsive sigh, and viciously biting a
shingle-nail in two, II am aweary; sick
at heart disappointed to within an inch
of my life; my cup of defeat is full to
overflowing: my ambition has been
knocked skyhigh. Read me something.
o, read me something, Dan, to divert my
tormenting thoughts
Being thus intreated, Dan drew from
an inside pocket of his coat document
in the Presidents own handwriting. 1t
was in fact the manuscript copy of Mr..
Cleveland's letter of 1854, accepting the
Presidential nomination which his chief
had presented to his beloved private sec
retary. Clearing his throat, in sharp.
well-modulated tones, Dan read from
the paper he held in his hand this para
graph:
When we consider the patronage of this
great office, the allurcments of power. the
temptation to retain public place once gained,
and more than all, the availability "A party
finds in an incumbent whom a horde of office
hopers, with zeal born OF benefits received
and fostered by the hope OF favors yet TO
come, stand ready to aid with money and
trained political service, we recognize In the
eligibility OF the President tor reelection a
most serious danger to that calm, deliberate
and intelligent action which must characterize
IA government by the people
"Dan," said the President, ION second
thought, it occurs to me that | don't
want to be read to-
"Well, is there anything else | can
do for yOu?" Dan kindly inquired.

President. "You don't happen to have
a file about you! 1t occurs to me that
Id like to gnaw file."

son branch, new drawbidge, says the
Free Press. Its construction was begun
on August 10, under the direction of
Bridgemaster Roys. and it was launched
last Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Roys
says it was one of the most successful
pieces of work of the kind with which he
has had anything to do, and no mishaps
occurred during the course of its construc-
ton. The draw, as it termed, is 300 feet
long, 30 feet wide, with sides u feet high,
and resemble somewhat in appearance a
huge canal boat. 1t contains $50, 200 feet
of lumber and II tons of iron rods,
screws and bolts, while its total weight
is 400 tons. All sizes of timber were
used in its construction, the material be-
ing principally Southern pine. The bot
tom of the draw is yelew pine from
Florida, well caulked, making it tho
roughly waterproof. The draw was
built on the shore at Larrabee's and %
men have been employed in the work.
Heavy timbers were laid in a slanting
position from the draw and out into the
lake where the water was deep. These
were well creased, and when all was
ready pistol was fired, the fastenings
were loOsened aud the mammoth draw
slid down as neatly as could be desired
into the lake. 1t was very successfully
done. When navigation closes the draw
will be towed to "Ti.," where it will re-
place the old draw, which has been in
use for the past 20 years.
