Freedom of the City rendered.

LONDON, April 1s.-The freedom of
the city was presented to Lord Harting
ton to-day. After the presentation a
banquet was given at the mansion
house. Lord Harrington, recounting
the arguments against the Gladstone
policy, said he was unable to predict
the result of the Irish struggle, but
he was confident that the problem
would not be solved by the COM
promise of 1888. Ireland could
not be dealt with as colony. The de-
cision rested with the Democracy. If
they we're weak and weary of the strug-
gle Ireland might obtain independence.
If they were strong and had the spirit
of their kinsmen across the Atlantic
they would not permit Ireland to be
separated. In order that the struggle
might be carried to successful issue
the Unionists must not finch, as there
was still much work to do. The gov
ernment had wisely shown that they
did not tear the widest extension Of

team was untried and partially new, on
the one hand, while the Omaha boys, in
the indefinite forecast already
made, have generally been set
down as the possible pennant win
| ners. Some there were who thought
Minneapolis would play them
an even game; very few expected a
victory; the majority expected to see
Omaha take an easy game; but the
most Sanguine never dreamed of clean
shut-out, in which only two men would
reach third and only two get beyond the
first bag. The result was that the sport
ing and will attend tO-day's game with
renewed interest.
TURNED OUT THE BAND.
Manager Gooding determined to make
the opening game memorable one, and
to that end had arranged procession.
A delay of three hours in the arrival of
the Omaha club occaSiOned half hours
wait for the procession, but shortly be-
fore IL it occurred in due form. Pre-
ceded by noisy band in a lettered
wagon, the line moved away from Le-
lands headquarters, and was made up
of open carriages containing the mana
gers, the opposing. teams and
ball game. Considerable interest was
created about town, and resulted
in collecting an audience of over 1900
at the ball grounds. The stands were
filled, and the crowd overflowed into the
open spaces, taking in the chilly breeze
with rare patience during a delay of
twenty-five minutes in calling the game.
In the meantime the Omaha men
amused themselves and the crowd
by preliminary work which looked
ominous for the home team. Finally
Jack Bennett was selected umpire and
fellow and treated the visitors with
great Difference, but as the locals had
the game all to themselves, every one
was satisfied.

GOOD FOB JOSEPH.
Mr.. Chamberlain Understands the
American Situation.

Mr.. Chamberlain Understands the
American Situation.
LONDON, April 1s.-Joseph Chamber
lain spoke tonight at the conversaziOne
of the Birmingham Radical union. He
ridiculed the notion of the Gladstonians
that his Sojourn in America had partly
converted him to their policy. On the
contrary, he had found very few per-
sons in America who approved of Mr..
GladstoneS policy. If the American
democracy had to deal with the Irish
question, they would make short work
of the monstrous pretensions of that
National league, and they would not
allow the sacred name of liberty to be
prostituted to the purposes of anarchy
and crime. The Americans allowed no
sentimental considerations whatever to
stand in the way of laws made by the
majority of the country. Never, in his
opinion, had the position of the Union
lists been stronger than now. For the
first time since the passing of the crimes
act he would be willing without the
slightest hesitation, to appeal to the
country with certainty that they would
go back with a majority as great as or
greater than they now possessed.
There were two reasons for this:
First, the gradual deterioration
and disorganization of the Glabstonian
party: second, their alliance with the
Parnellites. The Conservatives were
stronger and more permanent than ever
before. After praising the foreign and
home policy and the achievements of
the government, Mr.. Chamberlain
quoted Sir William Vernon Harcourt to
the effect that the governments success
was due to the adoption of the Liberal
policy; and he asked why, then, did not
Harcourt and his followers, if he had
any, support the government, instead
of doing everything in their power to
because their Liberalism was absorbed
in Parnellism.

Representatfve-EIect Hazen.

L. Downer Hazen, st. Johnsbury's
Hartford this state where he was born
in 1884. For some years in company
with his brother, L. L. Hazen, now of
Whitefeld, N. H., he carried on the
famous COX Bow" farm at Newbury.
Later on the brothers removed to
Barnet and engaged in general trade
until about 20 years ago, when L. T.
removed to Whitefeld, and L. DOwner
to St. Johnsbury, the latter engaging
in the numbering business. Mr.. Ha
zen has now the largest numbering
business of any one man in New En-
gland, with mills at Miles Pond, East
Concord, Victory and Richford. Dur
ing all these years he has been largely
interested in agricultural affairs. While
a resident of Newbury he served as
selectman during the four years of the
war. In 1870 he represented the town
of Barnet in the legislature. He has
lived in St. Johnsbury since 1875.
Since 1877 he has been director in
the Merchants national bank, having
been connected with that bank longer
than any one else. Mr.. Hazen has
never in any way sought public life,
but when called to perform any public
duty has done 80 with credit to him
self. AS representative from Barnet
in 1870 he was recognized as man of
sound views, and exerted a good deal
of influence especially in matters per-
tanning to this county. AS citizen of
St. .Johnsbury he is an upright bust
ness man, we'll informed, closely iden-
tilted with the interests of his constit-
uents and, though quiet and unobtru-
sive in his ways to a marked degree,
man who has we'll considered views
and opinions of his own on the ques-
tons of the day. AS a speaker he is a
man who is possessed of the rare fac
ulty of saying what he has to say and
stopping when he gets through. He is
a representative man, and will serve
the town we'll.

people of st. Johnsbury wanted you
as their representative and have elect
ed you, because they believe you are
the bestman for the place. We have
called to present to you our compli-
ments and congratulations.
Mr.. Hazen responded in a few brief
and happy sentences Friends, I can
assure you, he said, that l appreciate
very highly the honor that has been
conferred upon me and for which l
return thanks. Its real value lies in
the expression it conveys of confidence
and friendship, and this no man can
appreciate more than myself. I am
not proud of the mere fact that am to
be representative in the legislature,
but am proud of the fact that l am
to represent the town of St. JOhnsbury
there.
Col. Hooker was then called out and
said it was happy privilege to be
present and to share in the pleasure
of the occasion. He spoke of the sig
nificance of the fact that Mr.. HaZen
was a lumber man, and that his cleo
ton was a protest against the Mills
bill proposition for free lumber. He
expressed the hope that the republican
majority would reach 81 800 and closed
a good speech with a humorous story.
The speakers were loudly applauded
and the representatives was given
three rousing cheers and tiger.
After the speeches on Mr.. Hazen's
invitation all present entered the
house to extend congratulations in
person to Mr.. and Mrs. Hazen and
were very handsomely entertained.
Never were congratulations extended a
successful candidate that represented
more genuine feelings of regard, re-
spect and pleasure than was the case
at this gathering.

Notes of the Day.

President Bailey's Golden was driv :
en- upon the track between the races
by George Collyer and won much de-
served applause. Bailey's "Baby,"
the yearling Helen M, by Golden
made wonderful showing on the track
and never made break. The colt is
considered the most promising one in
the state.
Hamilton Brooks Goldfnder and
of his get were exhibited On the track
in the afternoon and some very hand
some horses were seen. Goldfnder
looked as young and frisky as one of
his colts.
Abdallah Wilkes, considered by
many the best stallion in Northern
Vermont, was shown up in the after
noon and won much applause. He is
the leader of the Wilkes strain at the
Highland stock farm, Derby, and was
sired by George Wilkes.
In the last race some excellent time
was made on heavy track. Charlie
Ray, a promising trotter of Burbank &
Williams, has the distemper and could
not come down.
While the crowd was not nearly as
large as was hoped for the exhibition
of blooded horses was great success.
Over 200 horses were shown and their
total value was placed by one horse
man at quarter of million dollars. A
full account of Thursdays races and
the rest of the premiums will be given
in next weeks paper.

The Vermont state election that has
been anticipated with so much interest
was held Tuesday. 1t was a great re-
publican victory, as much so as was
expected by conservative republicans,
though falling short of some of the
more unreasonable estimates. 1t now
looks as though Gov. Dillingham;
majority would reach $4,000. The
character of the senate and house will
be decidedly changed, as strong and
influential republicans have been sub
stituted for democrats in a number of
instances. The senate is solid repub-
lican and the Legislature nearly so.
The overwhelming defeat of the demo
Gratis at every point is a significant
feature of the election and tells the
story of the result of Hiram Atkins
boss rule.
Caledonia county does not add much
to the majority but she sends a solid
republican delegation to the legisla-
ture, substituting republicans for dem
Ocrats from the towns of Danville,
Newark, Ryegate and Wheelock. Sen
ator Bates's and States Attorney Dun
nett's majOrities were reduced some
what by the prohibitionists, but no
changes in the results as regards the
county nominations were effected.
A report of the local contest with
votes in detail will be found elsewhere.

The Gain and Loss.

The vote of '88 over '86 gives in Cal
edonia county the republicans gain
of % per cent, the democrats gain OF
Ia per cent. and the prohibitionists a
loss of 81 per cent. But to compare
the vote with '84, which is fairer, it
being presidential year, the record
stands as follows The republicans
gain over that year two per cent, the
democrats six per cent. and the prohi-
bitionists 20 per cent. In st. Johns
bury the comparison with 80 stands as
follows: Republican gain Sc per cent.
democratic gain II per cent, prohibi-
ton loss SO per cent.

Election Day Notes.

The largest vote ever polled in the
town before this election was in 1886
when it was 1908. This year, with be-
tween 200 and 300 new names on the
list, only 1888 votes were polled. <
Col. Fletcher takes his defeat very
philosophically. 1t is the fortune OF
war, he says, and what one must ex-
pect in politics.
Office seekers who pretend that they
would rather have the opposition than
the support of the Caledonian are now
figuring out Mr.. Hazen's majority. The
result verified every word that the
CaledOnian said in his favor last week
Only two thirds of the st. Johnsbury
vote was polled on Monday. Where
were the other 500 voters
What's the matter with L. D. Hazeni
The voters of st. Johnsbury shout
with all their might, "He's all right p
And so he is.
There was only one ticket in the
field for justices of the peace and that
was elected as elsewhere reported. The
name of David Trull was scratched to
some extent but not enough to change
the result.
1t was very orderly town meeting
and with one or two slight exceptions
everybody kept good natured.
Mr.. HAGEN told the writer last week
that if he were to receive 500 votes
and his opponent sol he should go to
bed election night and sleep as sound
as ever, gratified to know that there
were 500 people in town who thought
him worthy of representing them in
the state legislature. 1t was curious
coincidence that Mr.. Hazen received
just sol votes on the first ballot.
A noticeable feature of the local cleo
ton was the small number of scatter
ing votes cast. L. d. Hathaway of
Hardwick received one vose for sta tes
attorney, NJ. NJ. Montgomery of St.
Johnsbury two for probate judge and
J. D. Miller three for county commits
sioner. These were all the scattering
votes cast here.
The prohibs have far exceeded their
expectatiOns-in losses. But, while
the vote as whole is much reduced
w. P Stafford has reason for self con-
graduation over his large vote in his
own town, nearly three times that of
1886, which he polled, and the gain of
ever 200 in the county over 1886.
1t seems that DIR. Parker of Peacham

latnre from this county who was a

Ten Cattle Killed by Lighting.


During the heavy thunder shower OF
ten head of cattle in Charles Green's
pasture, just south of the village. AS
none of these cattle were milch COWS
they were not missed and discovered
until Wednesday, when they were all
found lying under two maple trees
which stood close together. The hair
on some of the cattle was scorched but
none of the animals were mutilated.
The trees were splintered and the
ground rooted up as though the point
of pillow had been drawn along. Four
of the cattle belonged to George San
born, two TO George Varney, two to
Fred Green, and one each to Andrew
Fitzgerald and Fred Stanton. Most of
them were young cattle, though one of
George Sanborn's was a fOur-year-old
OK.

with the same teacher as last term,
Miss Hattie Clifford.
