Frank II. Bascom has a long letter this
week in the Montpelier Waterman on last
week 5 Democratic caucus and the course
pursued toward him by Mr.. Atkins in the
matter of the Montpelier postmastership.
lie says that the proceedings in the caucus
were SO disgraceful that only - votes were
cast, though $50 Democrats were in the
hall Mr.. Bascom seems to make out
clear case, showing the duplicity and treach-
cry practiced toward him by Mr.. Atkins in
the matter of the coveted post office ap-
pcintment. 1t is sorry thing when any
able bodied man pins all his hope of liveli-
hood or support of his family ON the chances
of political favoritism or of AN appoint
ment to Office under the spoils system, but
to date Mr.. Bascom certainly seems to make
the more reputable showing and to have
the best of the argument

Tn, Burlington Free Pres, has recently
issued very complete and excellent trade
number which illustrates with both pen
aud pencil the large business interests Of
that thriving city. and shows the advan-
tages which Burlington enjoys for their in
definite expansion. 1t is a good piece OF
newspaper work
The Boston Advertiser and Record have
been purchased by William f.. Barrett, who
has been editor and manager for two years.
lie has formed new company. The price
paid was $4,000, and working capital
of $40 600 is put in. Mr. Barretts man
agement Of the Advertiser has been admi-
rable, and the paper holds leading place
among the able, reliable Republican papers
Of the day.
1t is always hard to make the truth over
take lie, but the first article printed on
our first page today is an interesting one,
nevertheless, and disposes completely of
the story that the state convention held at
Burlington month ago was anti Edmunds
in sentiment, and that Mr.. Glced, its chair
man, made an allusion in his opening speech
condemnatory of the Senator. The story
was boomerang, and proves to hit Presi-
dent Cleveland instead Of Mr.. Edmunds.
This statement, printed in the Advertiser
on Wednesday, and which has the sound of
coming from one who speaks 'by the book, ~
expresses a conviction which finds a place
in the minds of a good many Republicans
'In circles friendly to Mr.. Blaine's nomna-
ton for President, we find that feeling ex-
lists that before the convention meets he
will, in unequivocal terms, decline the nom
nation. That is the general understanding
in this vicinity among the best-informed
Republicans.

Col George W. Hooker who was interviewed in
New York ON Saturday, said: II would like to
see Mr. Blaine President lie is the biggest man

say good words for Gov. Agrr of Michigan and
Warner Miller of New York which is doubtless
good Blaine policy. -RUiidHd Hrdd.
The Herald isn't fair to Colonel Hook
cr. 1t is true that the Colonel is reported
to have said what the Herald quotes, but
he also said that His Blune's letter of
withdrawal took him out of the field, and
the only thing that keeps him in it is his
unbounded popularity. If he should he
nominated now, the enemy would say that
even his friends did not believe in his sin
cerity when he wrote that letter. In other
words, Col. Hooker believes with Col
Clarke that a man ought to be taken at hi,

THE BURLINGTON STRIKERS
Threats Against the Railroad Freely
Made.

CHICAGO. July lG-Stirred up by the
developments in the dynamite conspira' y
case, the strikers are more bitter than
ever against the ( hicago, Burlington and
Quin,y Railroad. They say that the Off
GERS of the railway employed detectives
for no other reason than to entrap the
officers of the Brotherhood in a deep-laid
plot. Although success seems now to
be with the railway and the detectives,
the men assert confidently that the
alleged plot will be exposed in the end,
and that the defendants will be acquitted
But this feeling of confidence does not
prevent the more hot-headed from utter
ing threats and declaring that they will
have revenge for what they say is trap
into which their leaders have been led
and that the time for revenge will come
soon. The striSers spoke in manner
that could leave no other inference than
that violent measures were contemplated
