The Hor-c-Brccdcr-' Meeting.

Believing as we do in the adoption aud
encouragement by the people of Vermont
of every legitimate means for developing
and building up the resources of the state,
we have taken pleasure for three years
past in calling attention 10 the good work
being done by the "Vermont association of
road and trotting horse breeders The
fourth annual exhibition of the society
which occurs at Rutland next week, Aug.
2s, 20 and 30, will largely exceed in size
and quality any previous exhibition, and
will be one Of the most noteworthy stock
shows Of its kind ever seen in this country.
There have been BIB entries for trottng
stakes and premiums and 800 entries for
exhibition. The attendance Of people will
bc large and will include large reprcsen.
tation of men from other states who are in
terested in the breeding Of good horses \
good sized delegation Of Brattlcboro horse
men and stockbrccders will 20 up and it is
hoped that Windham county generally will
be represented, Interest in the work of
the association has developed rapidly in all
parts of the state The result of the exhi-
billions has been already to bring many
thousands Of dollars into the state by call
ing attention to our Vermont horses and in
the way Of largely increased prices for su
perior animals.
Windham county ought TO secure her
share of this profit by all means let our
farmers and stockmen go to Rutland next
week, All the railroads carry for half fare.

Brooks. the third party candidate for vice
president. made "a speech ia which hc nd
mittcd that hc had been rebel slave.
owner and % fire eating Democrat, but
thanked Ool that hc had never been "a Re.
publican and that he would mot have that
sim to answer for At first the report that
such a speech had been made was disbeliev
ed, for it was thought impossible that any
man should stand up before an audience and
deliver himself of such an uttcrance. II
turns out, however, that Mr. Brooks admits
making the speech, but says he did it "fa
cctiou,ly.' " this the Bellows Falls Times
says -rathintly but justly:
"ThI- Brooks is said tu b' clergyman. ami Is

The Democrats are knocked in the head
because Frank IIurd who has been sent to
the northwest to talk for Cleveland and
free trade, remarked to Democrat in
Washington en- route that the Democrats
cannot win in New York this year, and the
party must look to the northwest for cleo.
toral votes
"Why, then the Democrats are defeated
three months before election day" hluntly
says the New York Sun, commenting ON
Mr.. IInrl's remark.

The tide is sweeping all one way--for
protection The Democrats see it, and from
having shouted for free trade have changed
their tune, and are trying to prove that
they are just as good protectionsts the
Republicans. But it is too late Carlisle
may make protection speeches, and Cleye-
land may write letter Of acceptance de
nouncmg free trade in unmeasured terms,
but it will be Of no use The people know
now what these men really want, and what
they will do if they get the power and they
cannot change the issue now. Cleveland
has made his bed now let him lie on it

Nail u.

One of the most malicious lies of the
campaign in Vermont is the story which
has been diligently circulated that Col L.
a. Woodbury., the Republican candidate
for lieutenant governor, is in the rum bus
mess, being the owner of hotels which do a
rum trade The facts are that Col. Wood
bury is the lessee of the Van Ness and
American houses in Burlington, both of
which are run under one management, that
of l.. $ Drew, under Col. Woodbury's
lease The property was leased under the
explicit and binding promise that no liquors
should be sold on the premises, and that
promise is strictly observed. There is no
bar in either of these hotels aud it is well
known that they are run as temperance
houses.
The plain fact of the whole matter is that
no candidates were ever nominated in Yer
mont for whom temperance people could
more consistently give their votes than
VIM. p. Dillingham; and L. \. Woodbury..

Senator Edmunds, saying that he will not
be able to make any campaign speeches this
