THE SITE OF THE MONUMENT.
The actual battle ground is situated in
what is now the town of Hoosick, NY,
and for this reason some have criticised
the location. But it Is we'll known that
the field OF Bennington" was disputed
territory August 10Th, TIT, and for some
years both prior and subsequent to that
date. The controversy between the Yer
monlers ard the Workers is as familiar to
our readers as that between the Patriots
and Tories OF the Revolutionary war.

A Great Newspaper.

The New York Tribune is not dismayed
in the slightest by the recent local cleo
tions, and it comes up bright and smil-
ing this week as strongly Republican as
ever. and with an annual prospectus
Drumming over with wonderful attrac-
tions. The Tribune, while always a
newspaper dominated by one mind, and
stamped all over with the individuality
of its Editor, has, nevertheless. always
had an editorial staff which was sort OF
college of bright and able spirits, each
one of them a specialist in some line OF
study and thought. The Tribune car
ries the idea little further this year by
adding to the college, as it were, num-
Der of special lecturers, or. in otht r
words, it has provided for series of
special contributions by well known pee :
pie and specialists of very great interest
and ability. Both sides of several such
questions as Unlimited Silver and Trusts
are to be given. These special articles,
which will cost many thousands of dol
lars, and will appear in the Tribune onlv,
are worth far more than the 81 or 81
which will enable any of our readers to
enjoy them all. The Tribune will also
print a new series of Stories of the War
during the year, in addition to its G. A.
R. page, and it offers large cash prizes
for the best three of these stories. There
IS often twinkle of humor in whateve r
the Tribune does, and this year there is
a very merry twinkle in its list of spec
ial prizes TO the men who get up the lar
gest clubs. Its prizes aggregate $244O in
value, and among them is one which is
certainly amusing and ingenious, "a
trip to New York, with hotel bills paid
for week and theatre tickets every ev-
ening,"ls certainly something original
in the way of rewards. The Tribune is
the official newspaper of the Republican
Clubs. Republicans who want Nation.
al paper of their political faith will find
the Tribune this year more worthy than
ever of their attention. See prospectus
in another column, and also our club
rates in this issue.
