TIL OPENING GUN.


The Executive Committee of the Yer
mont Republican League have decided
to hold mass meeting to ratify the
State and National nominations of the
party the second week in July at Bur
lington. The time of the meeting was
originally fixed for June %, but it has
been found necessary to select a later
date on account of the difficulty of
securing speakers the week following
the Chicago convention. 1t is proposed
to make this ratification meeting the
opening rally of the campaign,
In this connection we quote "spe.
cial" to the Boston journal, sent from
Burlington the lL,h inst:

IN the field was the one headed as fol
lows: For Governor, VIM. p. DlIling

vote cast. The delegation elected is a
strong one, and consists of the following
prominent Republicans: General VIM.

Republican League of Vermont, under
whose auspices mass meeting will be
held to ratlfy the nominations made by

Speakers of national reputation will
address the ratification meeting, which
will probably be held at Burlington the
second week in July. The Executive

1t is not generally known, but it is a
fact, that during our shortest night, now
approaching, the light of the sun, in this
latitude, never wholly disappears from
the horizon. At midnight this light is,
of course, due north of us, and is seen,
on clear nights, from any point where
the observer is placed so as to see the
northern sky quite down to the horizon.
The light is faint but is plainly percep-
tible. From the old observatory on
Mt. Anthony, it has been readily seen,
we are told, by observers who watched
for it, We are not far north enough,
and do not care to be, to be in The
Land of the Midnight Sum- but we can
see the light Of that midnight sun never
theless.

WERE THE FOUNDERS OF VERMONT
TRAITORS.


The Magazine of American History,
last year, published an article by Mr., j,
L. Payne of Ottawa, declaring Gov.
Chittenden, Ethan and Ira Allen.
Moses Robinson. Joseph Fay, and other
Vermont patriots associated with them,
to have been traitors. in that they at
tempted during the Revolutionary War,
to betray to Great Britain the little
State of which they were the rulers. 1t
was claimed by the writer that new evil
dence had been found proving this. The
| BANNER at once pronounced the lind
mares nest as Mr.. Payne produced
nothing that was not well known 'ong
ago, and which had all been sifted out
and probed to the bottom by writers on
Vermont history. The fullest exposition
of this whole story is contained IN the
transactions of the Vermont Historic II
Society," Vol. |, published in 1871. Over
800 pages are occupied in telling it, and
are mainly filled with extracts from the
| BaldImand papers consisting OF the
correspondence with the Vermont
patriots and the Canadian authorities
By this correspondence and their con-
duct with our own government at the
same time, they are proved to be pa
t,iots, but diplomatists as well,
Vermont ,itshOuld be remembered, was
at this time an independent State, and
had on her hands a controversy with
New York, in regard to the title to the
most of her lands. This controversy
kept the State out of the Union till 1871
and led to negotiations with Canada,
begun in 1873, looking towards reunion
with Great Britain, as a means Of de
Tense from attack from Cani la during
the Revolution. The negotiations did
keep Canada quiet. They were per
fectly justifiable under the circum-
stances.
When this article of Mr.. Payne's ap-
peared, the Rutland Herald, it seems,
endeavored to persuade the author to
produce his proof for its columns, but
without success. Recently il has receiv-
ed, on the other hand, however, tie re-
port of the Dominion Archivist, Mr.
Douglas Brymuer, for 1877, in which
the true character of the negotiations
appear. and in the light they have
always been regarded by Vermont his
torans. When both sides come to the
same conclusion, the question would
seem to be settled.

The only objection, says the Middle

Depew as nominee f the Republican
party for President, 1t as been that he is
connected with gre' moneyed interests
in the East, the implicati being, of
course, that he would he suspected of
being heartless, ii rot dishonest, because
of such connection. This, however, is a
feeble digestion in the case of such a
man as MI, Depew, Any one who ever
heard his speak knows him to be the
soul Of honor and above reproach, lie
has an earnest mauliness of conviction

All his public utterances have been
characterized by Eeuuineness and integ
ri'y. Such a man would by his very
words dis5ipale all doubts. The Chicago
convention can do no better than to
nominate Mr.. Depew. With him
as our standard bearer. success is as

ity. The Legislature chosen at this
election was Democre tic, and chose Mr..
Thurman United States Senator in place
of the Hon. Benjamin F. Wade. Mr.:
Thurman entered upon his Senatorial
duties in 1869, and served on the COM
mittee on the Judiciary and that on the
Post Offices and Post Roads. In 1874
he was reelected for the term ending
in March 1881, and during this second
term served on several important COM
mittees Mr.. Thurman received votes
for the Presidential nomination in the
Democratic National Convention of
1876, 6SI5 in the convention of 1880, and
3S in the convention of 1884, taking
rank in the last convention as the third
candidate in order of preference on the
first ballot President Garfield APP
pointed Mr.. Thurman one Of the Com
missioners to the International Silver
Conference in Paris, and he was one of
the counsel for the Government in the
Bell Telephone suits. Mr.. Thurman is
one of the strongest and ablest men on
the Democratic side. but has been for
some years out of favor with the Dem
ocratic leaders in his own State, and
partly because of the influence Of these
men was passed over by Mr.. Cleveland
in his choice of Cabinet advisers. He
is man of simple tastes and scholarly
habits. Mr.. Blaine, in his Twenty
Years of Congress, says: Mr.. Thur
mans rank was established from the
day he entered the Senate, and was
never lowered during the period of his
service. He was an admirably disci-
plined debater, was fair in his methods
of statement, logical in his arguments,
honest in his conclusions. He had no
tricks in discussions, no catch phrases
to secure attention, but was always
direct and manly.

Der right there, that Tor the past three
years the Cleveland administration has
been running und.r Republican laws,
and what progress the country has
made, no credit should be given to the
Democracy, They have made repeated
attempts To change Republican laws
but have failed; now a great effort is tC

It is regarded as something quite
smart for metropolitan newspaper serb
blers to sneer at country editors. Hor
ace Greeley's old remark is trotted out
whenever a city editor wishes to crush
his rural brother. 1t is true that some
fools and some knaves edit country
journals. but as a rule these "provin-
Gals editors are hard working, shrewd
fair minded and influential men. They
come nearer representing public senti-
ment than their city brethren, because
they are closer to the people. The met.
ropoitan press owes its distinction
chiefly to men who have been trained
in country newspaper offices. In fact,
few men are properly equipped to even
attempt to represent sentiment m this
republic who have not lived in the coun-
try. So much for those who sncer at
the rural rooster. - New York World.
