Hon. w. P. Dillingham; appeared in
this immediate vicinity for the first
time, since the opening of this cam
paign, at Lyndouville last evening.
Many present had seen or heard him
before, but many others saw and heard
him for the first time ; the good i'm
pressions he had heretofore made on
the former class were confirmed, while
he impressed those who heard him for
the first time as a man of marked abil-
ity, of broad views and capable of dis
cussing the questions of the hour in a
candid and eloquent manner. Yer
mont honors herself as well as Mr.. Dill
bingham in electing him to the gov
ernorship.

The Newport Express thinks that
the very size of the prohibitionists' con-
ventions ought to warn them of the
folly of their movement. This is an
odd argument to come from one who
was identified with the republican par
ty in the days when it wss exceedingly
diminutive, and who has watched its
growth and prosperity and great &C
cOmplishments. 1t seems to us that
this point alone is hardly worth con-
sidering as an argument.

DR.. Burchard's fatal ALTERATION of
the three RS in the campaign of 1884,
has its counterpart in the New York
Tribune's reference to Sunday school
politics" in the campaign of 1888. 1t
is matter of great good fortune, how
ever, that the rank and file of the re-
publican party is largely made up now
as it always has been of Sunday school
politicians. If the party wins in No
yember it will not be because of it's
leaders or of such party papers as the
Tribune, but in spite of them.

Another Rally.

The republican rally last evening in
Music hall was great success. The
hall was full, the singing by Mr.. Max
ham was a particularly pleasant fea-
ture of the evening and the address
was able and we'll delivered. DR.. Hub
bard presided. Hon. w. P. 'Dilling-
ham, the republican candidate for gov
ernor, the only speaker, was most cor
daily received. He devoted himself
wholly to the tariff issue, indulging in
no TRADES, and making no appeals to
the prejudices of his hearers, but Civ
ing candid statement of the situation
as it appeared to him. He first review
ed in a general way the history of tariff
legislation, devOting considerable time
to the history and experience of Eng
land in the matter. He showed how
that for years England adopted and
enforced protective laws much more
stringent than any ever enacted in this
country, differing from Americas treat
ment of the subject in that these laws
protected the rich at the expense of the
poor, while it is the central idea of
American legislation to protect the la
boring men of the country. The growth
was also considered, and evidence adj
duced to show that the democratic par
ty is distinctly free trade party. A
summary of the address is impossible
in the limited space at command, suf-
fee to say it was good one. ME-. Dill
ingham was frequently applauded.
The Lyndonville band furnished good
music.
