OBITUARY.

On Tuesday, the 9th inst, Robbie Lu-
gene, the II years old son and only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Lugene of Man.
chester Centre was buried, and twas one
of the saddest funerals known in Man
chester for many years. Robbie received
an injury of the lower abdomen on FRI
day, Apr. 25, and sudden cold gave it a
dangerous form on Sunday night, Apr.
9th, and he died in early morning of May
s, after having passed eight days of Sc
we're pain and suffering. Robbie was a
very bright and promising boy, and was
the hope and joy of his parents. He was
amiable and beautiful in heart and form,
and with polish of manners far beyond
his years, and he won the love of a whole
community. He was a devoted Sabbath
School scholar, and had been carefully
taught to avoid all undue rudeness or ex-
hibitions of hasty tongue, which made
him great favorite in school; and tn
tears and sobs of large gathering of
schoolmates around his bier attested to
the universal love for him and the keen
sorrow felt for his loss The deepest
sympathy of a whole community went out
for the heart stricken parents. But there
are heart wounds so deep that human con-
dolence and sympathy seem almost hol-
low mockery. The world does not pos
sess balm to soothe and much less to
heal such wounds. Darkness and DESC
lation enwraps the bereaved and lacera-
ted heart, and every ray of home-light
seems to have been extinguished forever.
1t is in such dark hours that hope kindly
saves us from despair, and if we will
only heed her she will point us to happy
meeting only little farther on and she
will tell us of the waiting dear one, and
bring faith to us to tell us "that the suf
ferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory
that shall be revealed in u.s." And faith
will inspire in our hearts living resolve
to meet waiting Robbie.

The Twelfth OF June.

This is the day Vermont will, this
year, elect her Governor and other
State officers. Don't be alarmed,
dear reader, there has been no change
in the laws; you will still have the
privilege of depositing your little
piece of paper, ratifying this election,
on the first Tuesday of September.
You will all be there on that day to
exercise the glorious right of freemen
TO ratify an election made by the
bosses and manipulators on the 18th
of June, the day on which the Re-
publican caucuses will be held through
out the State by request of the State
committee.
Have you ever taken this view of
the matter ? Hardly. Yet, it is the
correct one. On the 18th of June
caucuses will be held to chose dele
gates to attend the State Convention.
These delegates will choose your Gov
ernor and other State officers, nom
ination by the Republicans in this
State being equivalent to an election.
And how many will attend these eau
cuses ? Possibly one-twentieth of
the Republican voters of the State.
So one-twentieth, and possibly less
than that, are to decide who shall be
Governor of proud commonwealth.
This is most deplorable. 1t shows a
lack of interest and a willingness to
be dictated to unworthy of free and
intelligent people, and should be end
ed at once. One other thing that
should be kept in mind, this one
twentieth that will choose for you will
be made up largely, in some cases
wholly, by the manipulators and their
village hangers -on-they will all be
there every time-these little fellows
that hold on to the garments of the
Hookers, the Fullers and men of
their ilk that infest, almost, every
nook of our State. Isn't it about
time this should stop +? Isn't it about
time that the farmer, the mechanic,
the laborer should "speak out in
meeting" aod say who they want fol
Governor and other officers, and not
leave their selection to the "me
too's that are found everywhere
There is but one way for you to do it,
and that is to attend the caucuses and
vote for men who will represent YOU
in the convention. Shall we do it
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1890-05-15

1t has been but few years since
there was boiling nomination made
in this Congressional district and the
bolter's candidate was elected. How
would Col. Hooker like this kind of
sauce should he succeed in carrying
the convention through his peculiar
ways and manipulations ? He set an
excellent example in the Brattleboro
postoffice matter, where, as it is al
legged, he suggested a caucus, went
into it heartily and then bolted it,
One thing sule there are many good
Republicans in this Congressional
district who will never cast ballot
for man SO destitute of political
honor as to proclaim that unless a
man was - fool he would be a
Democrat in N. Y. city and Re-
publican in Vermont.

soon gave way.

was running after this unsavory gang.
But it does look good deal as though
if he was elected Governor that he
would not be owned by this rotten

drew his support.
