SENSATION CHELSEA.
Notes Forged Against the Estate of the
Late l.. Il. HinCkley.

n singular ease OF forgery and discovery
has been brought to light within a few
days in the town OF Chelsea. Mr. l.. o..
Hinckley of that place, during a visit to
his brother-in-law, Mr. Charles J. Pres
colt of Boston, in November last, died
very suddenly Mr.. John b. Bacon of
Chelsea was his administrator and pro-
ceeded to settle the estate. Among other
Indebtedness which was pre- eutet We're
two notes, one of $500 and one for sl5l,
which We're presented by Mr.. Charles h,
French. As Mr.. Hnckley had been
in the habit of taking small sums from
the townsfolk, the notes were &C
cepted rs genuine, and having been
approved by the commi> siOners, were paid
by Mr.. Bacon on the Attn of June. In con
versAtiou with member of the family,
Mr. Bacon stated this fact and the notes
were showh. The lady, it appears, had
. some doubts OF the genulneneSs OF the sig
natures, though they were pronounced cor
rect by bank officials after the doubt was
raised. She, however, sent them to a
friend IN Boston, who had them enlarged
by photographing, and the notes and 9th
er genuine slgnat ureS We're then submitted
to an expert in that city who, after care
full scrutiny, pronounced one a forgery,
and probably both.
On Monday relative with a sheriff
called upon Mr.. French, and after some
conversation the charge was made that
the notes had been questioned, and Mr.,
French finally admitted that they We're
fraudulent. He was at once arrested,
Three hundred and fifty dollars of the
money found in the bank was trusted.
and the balance will no doubt be made up
by relatives. Mr.. French it is supposed,
initiated the signature from Il recommen-
dation which had been given TO him by
Mr.. Hinckley some time since. The affair
has created quite an excitement in the
town of Chelsea, where Mr. French has
hitherto borne an excellent character.

The County Convention.

The convention made short work Of its
task, but two ballots being taken during
the session of the convention. The COM
ing senators, +. Is. Taft, f. O., of this city,
Mr.. w. w. Higbee of Charlotte and Mr.,
H. f. Terrill of Underhill, We're all nomi-
mated by acclamation-M Mr.. Thorp having
withdrawn and they will represent the
county in the Senate with ability, courte-
sy and careful attention 10 the duties of the
office they hold. Assistant Justice Nichols,
in accordance with the wise custom which
accords a reelection to one of the side
Judges, was nominated for reelection
and Mr.. Frederick A. Weed of Shelburn,
whose bright letter declining to be can
didate had the effect of satisfying every
BODY that he was a good man for the
place, was cordially nominated for the
other assistant judgeship The only con
test, really, i'll the convention, was over
the States attorney. And this was
"short, sharp and decisive" Mr.. vii
bur 5 name was withdrawn from the can
vass, at his request, before the convention
met, leaving a square Issue between Mr..
Foster and Mr.. Alexander. The latter
was effectively presented but the
powerful support Of the united Burling-
ton delegation the feeling that the inter
ests of justice require that the States at
torney should be a resident of this city,
which furnishes so heavy a share of the
business of the office, and other considrra-
lions, .oyerbore the arguments in favor of
the one.term rule, ard the ballot gave the
nomination to Mr.. Foster by % majority.
We are always glad to see the one-term
rule broken in regard to every local Office
in which experience is of value and we
trust and believe that Mr.. Fosters second
term will show hearty desire on his part
to avoid any mistakes he may have thus far
made, and to execute the duties of the
office, not only with the ability which is
conceded him, but with independent re-
gard to the public welfare. The re nomi.
nations of Judge Wales and Sheriff Barton
were made by unanimous reclamation
A ballot gave the nomination of high
bailiff to Mr.ThOmas Reeves of Underhill
who if it should become necessary to ar
rest the sheriff, will doubtless perform
the duty with due dignity and despatch
Under the new law changing the time
for the election of county commissioner
to the September election, the nomination
of a candidate for that office was proper
and closed the business of the convention
by the unanimous nomination of the pres
ent worthy and judicious Incumbent
Judge +. b. Andrews of Richmond.
Mr.. Burnap presided with his customary
dignity, decision, and despatch of bust
ness and the convention adjourned il
good order and general good humor,
The ticket is strong and good one
and it will poll an old-fashioned republi
can majority on the first Tuesday i'll Sep

The Opening Rally in Vermont.

The State and national canvass in Yer
mont will be opened early in July by
grand mass meeting, to be held under the
auspices of the republican league of this
State. 1t was at first planned to hold this
the last week in June, but in consequence
of the difficulty of securing speakers Of
national reputation so soon after the Chi
cago convention, the executive committee
of the league have decided to hold the
meeting about the 10th of July. 1t will
be held in this city, and speakers will be
engaged and arrangements perfected
which will make 1t one of the most pota-
BILE and interesting political gatherings
ever held in the State About hundred
republican clubs which have been already
organized in Vermont will be represented
on the occasion, and the efficient commit
tee of the league are giving their
attention to the formation of
new clubs in towns where none
have been organized, and they expect that
very large addition to the number will
be made in the next thirty days. The
committee have done wisely, no doubt, in
postpouing the date, and certainly no better
place for a meeting of the republican
masses can be found than Burlington.
The meeting will, no doubt, attract the
presence of many voters from across the
lake, and can thus be made to assist the
republican canvass in the Empire State as
well as in Vermont The date, speakers
and other details will be announced in due

Arrears of Pcnsions-ImportaH tC
Widows of Soldiers

Congress has Just enacted that pensions
heretofore or hereafter granted to widows
of soldiers of the war of the rebellion
shall commence at the date of the death
of their husbands. This legislation ia
vorably affects all claims of widows of
the late war which have been filed in the
pension office on or after July |, 1850, and
which have been allowed to commence
from the date of filing the claims but
will not affect the cases OF such widows as
were filed before July /, 1880 and which
have been allowed, pension having al
ready been granted in those cases from
the date of their husbands death. The
commissioner of pensions gives notice
that in the settlement of claims, under
this law, already allowed, no formal APP
plication will be required, and that the
services of attorneys will not be necessary
Widows entitled under said law need only
write letter giving name, postoflice ad
dress, and certificate number, al d the
claims will be allowed with as little delay
rs practicable.

From a communication received after
our paper had gone to press on the morn
ing of the county convention, we take the
following as bearing upon general princi-
pies;
1t has been the custom to pass the office
of states attorney around, and we say
altogether too lightly. This, believe, is
one of the reasons that the Office has too
many times seemed to lookers-on farce
Who do our states attorneys have to meet
in trials DO our law-Oreakers and rum
sellers employ boys as counsel that we
should set our boys In array against
them No indeed it is the talented, eX
perienced lawyer, who has fought many a
hard battle, who is called to defend our
criminals. and the old lawyer and his
crlmlual client too many times get their
way, by the force of argument presented
to our jurors. We have seen stares attor
neys jump like Jack-ln-ab box at the snap
of the thumb or stamp EFF the foot of old
lawyers until we are disguised. If the
present incumbent has had experience to
make him of service, retain him. If not
ii change is to be made the best talent in
the county Is none too good for the place.
All hands around is a pretty game for the
lawyers TO play, but 1t is hlGn time that
our citizens took hand in this matter, for
the rum Traffic is a foe to all the trades
and industries as well as TO humanity. and
it is high time that justice rs well AS HUI
mainly had a hearing. JUSTICE.

Mr. Cleveland's convention of office
holders and personal adherents so eX-
actly followed the programme laid ont for
it, that there was no need for it 10 have
assembled. Mr.. Cleveland might just AS
well have announced the candidates and
platform by proclamation, and saved all
the money expended on the con-
vention for his campaign tund
His nomination of himself was as
pure a piece of machine work as was ever
turned OUT. There have been republican
presidents renominated, but it was be-
cause Lincoln and Grant had the cordial
respect and confidence of their party.
Neither of them manipulated the conven-
ton which renominated him. Mr.. Cleve
land "a not liked or trusted by his party
outside of the men who feed at his public
crib, and those whom they control. His
party takes him because he controls abso-
lut"lv all the party machinery and has
us,Q 1t with perfect unscrupulousness for
his own benefit, and because they lack
statesmen who could head a ticket of
which they would be truly proud.
Mr.. Cleveland ran before as a reformer.
That fraud has been thoroughly punctur-
ed. Nothing has been reformed during
his administration. The public service is
less efficient and economical than before
Civil service reform has been made a
laughing stock. Boss rule and personal
favoritism prevail to greater extent even
than III the days of Frank Pierce. Mr. Cleve-
land has probably ceased to pretend even
to himself that he is reformer. He runs
now simply as the man in the saddle, who
proposes to keep himself there.
OF course the man whom he selected has
the second place. Judge Thurman was
not talked of or thought of for the place
by his party, till Mr. Cleveland con-
cluded that his name would strengthen
the ticket. They knew that he was toe
old for further party or political service
and there could hardly be a clearer indi
cation that he is broken mentally rs well
| as physically, than his consenting to be
| attached as a tag to the coat-tail of the
| man who has refused to take him into his
cabinet, or to recognize him by any ap
, pointment that he would accept. MI
| Cleveland has chosen to take the name OF
| a bygone statesman with him into the
| canvass, knowing, of course, that there i.
| little but name LETT of Thurman. The
ticket is Cleveland and a ghost-or il
other words simply Cleveland.
This ticket is formidable, not because Mr.
Cleveland has commended himself to tn,
approval of sound and intelligent men-ht
has gone back on every pledge and prom
Use upon which he was elected-but be
cause 1t will be backed by more money
more INSCRIPTIONS employment of party
patronage-and more reckless use of every
art and device of political corruption
than ever was heard of in any previous

The Lost Cause.

On the confederate Memorial day, June
6, at Baltimore Gen. Bradley Il. Johnson,
president of the Maryland Confederate so
ciety, made remarkable speech. Among
other things he said;
The South is progressing She is not
dead These old confederate soldiers and
their descendants elect sixty out of every
hundred congressman, thirty-four of the
United States senators and the president
of the United States. The government of
the United States is controlled by confed-
crate soldiers. These old confederate sol
diers are not idle. Their work for twenty.
six years in government, in railroads and
in Industrial enterprises of all sorts is max
ing itself felt all over this land In 1890
Texas will send twenty-five men to Con
gress. The anxiety Will be then not Who
can carry New YORK in the election, but
who can win in Texas.
OF the lost cause Gen. johnson said
/ don't believe the United States had q
right to coerce the Southern people. said
| wonld fight if they tried to do it, and !
did fight | would do the same thing to
morrow, as GOD is my witness.
Among other features of this speech
was an elaborate eulOgy of Jefferson
Davis. There are some citizens left in the
country who would prefer an admnistra
ton which is not, and cannot be claimed
