Echoes from the Pre- SIS.

The Republican platform is a great
production, complete and inspiring
confession of political faith, ALLOWING
record of the achievements of the
party, big battery of long-range
guns for the campaign.-New York
Mail & Express.
The Republican platform is more
than twice as long as the Democratic
platform. Yet we are bound 10 say
that there will not be half as much
misunderstanding as to what it really
means.-New York Sun.
1t is good, honest political gospel,
and no man who reads it through need
have any further doubt as to the
position of the Republican party in
all matters of national Importance
New Haven Palladium.
Mr.. Thurman has made many
speeches in his time on topics of ma
tional interest and Importance but in
the whole list of them not a line can
be found in favor of the prosecution
of the war against secession and slav-
cry. During all those terrible years
of patriotic agony and sacrifice he had
nothing to say for the benefit of the
Union cause, but gave his sympathy
to the enemy from first to last.-St.
Louis obe-Democrat.
How our Democratic friends rally
for Cleveland and Thurman. Not a
single ratification meeting Or public
flag raising in Vermont since the St.
Louis convention. This appears to
be about the state of affairs all over
the country at the present time, and
there is nothing in the candidates to
awaken the enthusiasm of their party,
outside of the Federal office holders
who owe their appointment to the
Cleveland administration. Even the
sold Roman" business does not ap-
pear to warm up rapidly since the full
returns from Oregon.-Burlingt
Clipper.

roads were badly washed. Weston
was, possibly the worst sufferer. Her
roads were terribly washed, 1t being
estimated that it will take between
five hundred and a thousand dollars
to put them in repair. One road,
leading to the Lovejoy neighborhood
being so badly damaged as to neces-
state the laying of new road a por-
ton of the way. All the tannery
watts were filed with mud and gravel
and the loss of liquor and damage to
hides is estimated at several hundred
dollars. In Andover a number of
small bridges were carried away and
roads badly washed.

We learn from Brattleboro that
one of the old fashioned, cut and
dried, packed caucuses was held last
Monday night, when the old ring ap-
peared with printed ballots and pro-
gramme that had been mapped out
at previous priuate caucus. 1t was
not known that there was to be any
controversy about our county nomi-
nations and SO only few were out,
and before they woke up to the fact
that job had been carefully and
secretly put up, the ringsters had
hustled in part of their men, then
the people took a hand in the bust
ness and smashed the slate to some
extent. No candidate for Senator
from the south end had been public
ly mentioned, except A. A. Butter
field of Nottingham, and it was gen.
orally supposed he would be the nom
inee. He was presented to the con-
vention two years ago by the back
towns in the southwestern part of
the county, and then had the united
support of Nottingham, Wilmington,
Halifax, Guilford, Marlboro, Dover
and Somerset. But at this time "the
ring" were determined to run one
Wells P. Jones, a former Whiting
ham resident, but for several years
living in Brattleboro and working for
Estey)and have him counted as
back town man. This move compell-
ed the anti-ring forces to bring out
Hon. f. w. Stoddard, who was
chosen. Whether the ring mean
again to trot out Jones is not vet
certain, but it is certain that they
mean to dictate to the back towns
who shall run. They don't like But
terfield because he is independent
and wont train with Smiths free pass
brigade, and they mean to throttle
him. Brattleboro has gobbled up the
Senatorship for the last eight years in
succession, as well as nearly all the
other offices, and it is high time for
the back towns to combine together
and demand and take their rights. If
the southwest part of the county
want Butterfeld, he is the man that
ought to be taken, and all the hill
towns ought to band together and
teach these greedy and domineering
Brattleboro "ringsters" a lesson in
decency and good manners. 1t is
suspected that these henchmen of
Gov. Smith mean to bring out a ring
candidate who can be counted upon
to obey Smith-but it can't be done.
Up this way the PEOPLE want and
mean to have Cudworth for States
Attorney, Shumway for Sheriff, and
Holmes Cor some other good anti-ring
man) for Senator. And we mean to
help the back towns in the south end
to get their rights, too, and want them
to help us,

The Chicago Convention finished
its work on Monday, nominating Gen.
Benjamin Harrison of Indiana for
President and Levi p. Morton of
New York for Vice-President. The
ticket was received with demonstra-
tons of satisfaction all over the north.
In this respect the contrast was very
marked to the reception of the St.
Louis nominations. Before adjourn
ing, the Convention adopted, with
only one dissenting voice the follow
ing resolution:
"The first concern of all good gov
ernments is the virtue and sobriety Of
the people and the purity of their
homes. The Republican party cor
daily sympathizes with all wise and
well-directed efforts for the promotion
of temperance and morality"

1t is stated that among the $50
members of the Republican Club at
Evansville, Ind, there are over 40
Democrats who have left their party
because of its attitude ON the tariff
question. This is said to be sample
of the way things are going in the
State. There is not reasonable
doubt of the attitude of Indiana, and
her electoral vote is morally certain to
be cast for Harrison & Morton.

pon,t Go to oregon to work.

CHCAGo, May Elm the regular meeting
Of the trades and labor assemblies to-day,
communication from Portland, Oregon,
was received stating that it is very difficult
ior laborers to find employment in that
state. Certain real estate men and land
SPECTATORS it was claimed flooded the
country with flaming circulars endeavoring
to direct a general emigration to that
State. They stated that employment was
plentiful and wages high and professed to
oner great Inducements for artisans ana
laborers to remove there with their families.
The communication was in the nature oil
protest from l.. A. 522, of Portland stating
these representations were entirely false
and that the workmen already there were
more that sufficient to meet the demands
ior labor. Whoever responded to the cir
cular, they claimed would be grossly de,
ceiyed and might be reduced to actual
suffering if they had not means to pay
ther expenses for at least year or two.

On the Death of Christ.

New YORK, May 6.-All the galleries and
the mammoth lower floor of the Metro
politan Opera House was rowded this
afternoon at mass meeting OF fMethodists,
given under the auspices of the New York
City church extension and Missionary
society. The sermon was preached by
Bishop Charles 81. Fowler, d. D., L. L. d.
oi San Francisco. He spoke on the death
Of Jesus Christ to save mankind and he
said it was the grossest and most brutal
cruelty to punish the innocent for the
guilty. But Christ died to save the world.
"Sin" he continued, 'is not punishable on
Its own account, or not because ofits depth
and there is nothing in justice making it
necessary to punish, because it is sin, but
it is punished because OF the demands of
the innocent. Sin has no right, not even
the right to be punished. Righteousness
demands justice, and law must have the
sanction Of the penalty, otherwise it will
be only advice" In conclusion Bishop
Fowler said that Christ was an example Of
dying to save the world. Groups OF clergy.
men about the opera house discussed with
great interest these views OF the bishop
alter the close of the meeting.

there has been no discharge of pus an I the
patient had a Jolerably quiet day. His
face was of fairly healthy color, and his
eyes were bright, but his breathing is diff

Additional School Facilities to Be Had
New Road Needed.

| Additional School Facilities to Be Had
New Road Needed.
The Board of School Trustees OF the Bur
lington district have decided to increase their
school accommodations by the organiza-
tion OF q primary school. With this end in
view they will at once proceed to fit up the
vacant room in the school building with
improved furniture and employ a lady
teacher to take charge Of the little ones.
There are at present enrolled in the dis.
trict about fifty pupils and the percentage
OF attendance is very large. These include
both sexes and all ages from six to sixteen,
and all degrees OF advancement in studies.
The trustees are entirely satisfied with the
work of the school and the proficiency OF
the pupils under the tutorship OF Mr..
Sopher, the teacher. They have, however,
reached the conclusion that the interests
OF all will be. best subserved by dividing the
labors, in order that more time can be de-
voted to both those in the advanced and
those in the primary grades, and that it
would be false economy to delay the inn
provement any longer. They hope to at
once obtain a competent lady teacher, and
are in hopes to receive application for the
position at once.
The good people OF the burg have growl
coming every time they attempt to visit
Butte, at the condition Of the road, which
they say is in horrible plight. A well
known resident of the place is of the opin-
ion that new road should be built
straight out from Granite street. By the
building OF one good bridge and spanning
several gulleys with log structures, which
are cheap, a fine, straight, dry road could
be made and in addition the distance
would be shortened nearly mile.
Saturday was pay day at the Burlington
group, owned by the Colorado Company.

Local Law Breakers.

The docket of the police department
showing the arrests for Saturday night was
not very extensive one. The arrests were
as follows:
John Greasy, for creating disturbance
with one Devier on East Park street, was
held for hearing.
VIM. A. MCGEE and Charles Chadwick
amused themselves in Main street resort
by engaging in fight. Each furnished
bonds for his appearance.
August johnson is alleged to have COM
mitted an assault upon William McCall,
and was required to give bonds, which he
did.
Tom Palmer was charged with petit lar
ceny in the theft OF pair of shoes from
the store of Meyer. on West Park street.
He was sent to the County Jail for safe
keeping.
The irrepressible John Doe could find no
better subject than a Chinaman on whom
to vent his wrath. He found one of the
despised race on East Park street. and
proceeded to beat him. For this, much
to his surprise, he was arrested ind gave
bonds
