The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-02-29

THE interview of the World cor
respondent with Mr.. Blaine, of which
we give a brief abstract in another
column, is interesting, but it does not
materially change the situation. 1t
merely gives some additional reasons
for Mr.. Blaine's determination not to
have his name presented, with his con-
sent, to the republican national conven-
ton, and leaves no doubt of his deliberate
wish not to be a candidate. But there
are two contingencies in which Mr..
Blane's wishes might be disregarded:
First, if the convention should fail to
harmonic upon one of the candidates
now in the field; and, secondly, if it
should be determined by the majority
that Mr.. Blaine would be a stronger
candidate in the doubtful states than
any other republican. If the repub-
lican party has stronger candidate
than Mr.. Blaine then that man should
receive the nomination, but this fact
should be demonstrated, as far as pos
sible, beyond reasonable doubt. No
hap-hazard chances should be taken.

Democratic National Convention.

st. Louis is the place and June 9TH
the date. The democratic national
committee met at Washington last
Wednesday for the purpose of fixing
upon the time and place for holding the
convention. The Sd of July was fixed
upon as the date, but there was a pro-
tracted contest over the place. Ten
ballots were taken that day, the last re-
sulting as follows: San Francisco,
seventeen; Chicago, fifteen; st. Louis,
fourteen; Cincinnati, one. The con-
test was brought to close Thurs
day, by the selection of St. Louis
Then it was realized that it would not
be pleasant to hold convention in
that city in July and the date was
changed to June 9Th. The democrats
will thus get their candidate in the
field two weeks in advance of the re-
publicans, which will suit the repub-
icans well enough. According to the
Springfield Republican and other Cleve-
land papers, convention IN advance
of the republican convention means an
aggressive campaign on the tariff issue
laid down in the presidents message.
1t is probable that members of the
committee who favored the selection of
San Francisco and a late convention
are somewhat distrustful of the presi-
dents "tariff reform policy, and
think it the wiser course for their party
to " straddle " the tariff question, as il
has done in former campaigns. But
the free-trade element of the party is
uppermost, and there will be distinct
party division on the tariff question
The president has fixed the position o.
his party and there is no escape from
1t. The republican party welcomes ant

to meet the requirements of the people.
Second, that the secretary Of the treasury
shall Immediately redeem all public interest
bearing bonds. Third that all banks of
issue be abolished. Fourth, that there shall
be no reduction of the war tariff until the
bonded war debt is paid, including full
provision for the payment of the back pay
due the soldiers and service pension bill.
ONCE there was big yellow dog by
the name of Hill who was trotting con-
tentedly along with big bone in his
mouth, when he met a bigger spotted
dog named Cleveland, who had bigger
bone in his mouth. The Hill dog was
a very muscular dog and the Cleveland
dog was very fat dog, and the Hill
dog thought the chances were about
even, and he concluded to drop his big
bone and 90 for the Cleveland dogs
bigger bone. Consequently the two
went at it, and they made such noise
in their squabbling that lot of other
dogs came up, and a big white dog
grabbed the Hill dogs bone and made
off with it, and a great mastiff with a
republican collar on his neck seized
the Cleveland dogs bone and kept it,

THE harsh anti-railroad legislation
now threatened in Iowa undoubtedly
works to the disadvantage of Allison as
a candidate for the presidency. There
are few of the holders of property in
the Eastern and Middle States who are
not directly, as holders of stock and
bonds, or indirectly, through the saw
ings banks, interested in railroads.
The stockholders may be counted by
the hundreds of thousands, and these,
together with the bondholders and de-
positors in savings banks, make more
than million. They belong to the
most intelligent part of the community.
Any unjust attack upon railroad prop
erty seriously affects them. Although
Mr.. Allison is not responsible for this
legislation, it creates suspicion that
the influences which surround him are
not safe and ervative.-BoSton Ad-

A REAL, genuine woolly horse is
now on exhibition in Boston. 1t was
born in South Carolina four years ago
of straightforward parents, but the fore.
sight of nature seems to have put the
law of evolution at work, and the horse
soon began to develop decided fleece
like that of sheep. The wool is fine
of light brown color near the skin
becoming darker as it grows long. L
is very curly and soft and can be spur
and woven like any other wool. The
horse has no name, his ears are small

Concerning the Dakota Blizzard.
WOLsEY. Dakota. Fe

WoLsEY, Dakota Feb. -, 1888.
Mr. Editor:-During my six years resi-
dence in Dakota / have been constant
reader of New England newspapers, and
have often been amused by their descrip-
tons of dakota billiards." In the
WATCHMAN of January 90 read " graphic
account of the great storm which swept the
United States month ago, reaching Dakota
January II. Will you permit me, for the
sake of your many readers who have friends
in Dakota, to correct an error or two which,
naturally enough, have crept into descrip-
ton written nearly two thousand miles from
the scene of action. If the storm came with
out warning to any one they must have been
very unobservant. We had most EN-
phatic warning during the twenty-fOur
hours preceding the danger point. Early
on the morning preceding the blizzard a
breeze sprung up from the southeast. This
increased to a gale at shutdown. During the
night the wind lulled and it grew warm rap
idly. At ten o'clock on the morning of
January II snow was melting slightly, a
very little misty rain was falling, thick fog
made an object at a distance of eighty rods
invisible and there was just sufficient breeze
to show that the wind was passing rapidly
through the east, northeast and north TO the
northwest. He who did not heed all these
warnings was very thoughtless or very
stupid. Out of this mist and obscurity came
the blizzard fuU grOCn. Had it not been of
short duration, lasting only eighteen or
twenty hours, the loss of life would have
been much greater, as many were unable to
find their way to shelter until daybreak the
next morning. | spent the first twenty
years of my life ten miles from Montpelier.
I have seen billiards. in Vermont, in western
New York and in Iowa, but that of January
II was the first one | have seen during my
six years residence in Dakota. The loss of
life here was due to the absence of all land
marks to guide him who was caught by the
storm or who ventured into it. The signal
station at Huron does not report wind
velocity of over sixty miles per hour.

SOME foolish people allow a cough to run
until it gets beyond the reach of medicine.
They often say, Oh, it will wear away"
but in most cases it wears them away.
Could they be induced TO try the successful
medicine called Kemp's Balsam, which is
sold on positive guarantee to cure, they
would Immediately see the excellent effect
