The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-08-15


In Indiana he found the insane asylum
but in other respects the state
is doing quite we'll Other states also,
among them Wisconsin and Michigan in the
West and New Jersey in the East, are wheel
ing into line for the republican nominees.
FIRE started Saturday afternoon, about
1 30 o'clock in the attic of the tenement oc-
cupied by Joseph Yatta on East State
street The hose companies were on hand
at once with Berlin water and soon had the
flames confined to the roof. The shingles
under the stating proved as acceptable
hiding-place for the flames as they did at
the fire in the Dudley tenement on the other
side of the street Saturdays loss was esti-
mated at about $500. The building was
insured; no insurance on furniture and
clothing.

THE ArguS quite outdid itself last week
in its efforts to earn its great distinguishing
epithet Among a multitude of lies about
agreat variety of persons and things, we find
our contemporary making Mr.. Smile, in
his speech to the county convention, say
that the four leading features in the "glori-
GUS history" of the democracy were "sla-
very, CdttOliciSDl, rebellion and free-trade."
The Argus then seeks to fan the flames of
religious prejudice, after the fashion of the
Burchard incident. Mr.. Smile said " cal

or rogue could have unsupported him.
The republicans of the upper Connecticut
valley congregate at Wells River Friday
next. General G., Il. Pitkin of Louisiana,
Hon. w p Dillingham; and others will ad-
dress the people. II. A. Markham will sing
campaign songs and the Montpelier Military
Band will furnish the music. A special train
will leave Montpelier at 900 AM, returning
after the exercises. Fare from Montpelier
and all stations on the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad to Wells River and return,
fifty cents. Voters of 1910 are especially re-
quested to be present and report at the store
of f. Demng. Once more to the breach,
dear friends
MONTPELIER will be literally the banner
town OF the state, and the banner of all the
banners yet raised will span Main street
between G. II. Cross & Sons bakery and the
Hazen building Saturday evening. 1t will
bear the portraits of Harrison and Morton
and the taismanic word, " Protection. !"
With republican colors above and below and
waving in every ward, the beeaguered
argus sees the grand uprising of the North
in November foreshadowed in the Vermont
capital. The local ruler of the democracy
may be big prophet at the festive board
of the party chiefs in New York. The
multiplying banners in his own county
indicate that he is of small account here.
THE funeral of the late Winfred II. Hink-
Ia u
afternoon at the house of his father, 2. H.
Hinkley, Esq, conducted by Rev. A. b.
Truax. Five years ago Mr. Hinkley was
well known as one OF our most capable and
active young business men, being then in
the employ of ID. w. Temple Il Co. Fail
ing health compelled him to give up work,
and for more than four years he was con-
fined to the house with an incurable and
painful disease. Only those who have
known him best can tell how bravely and
patiently these years of intense suffering
were borne, nor what lessons of fortitude
and cheerfulness can be learned even from
the sick-room.
