The last fiscal years value of i'm
ports and exports of the country was
the largest in its history, reaching the
magnificent total of 81 ,647, 1872, ,014,
a gain over the year before of $780,
659, ,987. The imports of merchan-
disc were s785 1886, $50, gain in one
pear of s44, ,2O4, ,2O3. Our exports
were 1857 ,856, 156, an increase in
one year of S115, ,454, 784. These
are figures of a healthy, wholesome
growth, and they tell a tale of pro-
gress no less satisfactory than re-
markable.

FOR CONGRESS,
WILLIAM W. CIRCUIT,
OF BARTON.
The Convention.

The republicans meet at Irasburgh
on Friday next to nominate county
ticket etc. Hon. Frank Plumley of
Mortified has promised to be present
and address the convention, and he
will be there unless the business of
his office prevents it. Other speakers
have been and will be invited to ad-
dress the people; the Irasburg band
will furnish music and the hotel and
the citizens of Irasburgh will see that
the delegates and people are we'll pro-
vided for.
During the last few days there has
been some pretty sharp canvassing
on the matter of senatorial candidates
and the convention promises to be a
lively one. The senatorial candidates
most prominent at this time are II. Z.
Cleveland of Coventry, John A. A.Prouty
of Newport, b. NJ. R. Nelson of Bar
ton, C. w. Wheeler of Irasburgh, w.
w. Goss of Greensboro and +. l..
Hastings of Craftsbury. Some of
the Craftsbury people have felt that
their town was entitled to cOnsidera-
ton, and as Mr.. Dawson refuses to
accept a nomination, they would like
to see Mr.. Hastings have the place.
He is a very worthy gentleman. In
the matter of assistant judge from
this end of the county, the list of men
toned candidates is narrowed down
to Judge Owen, ]. G. Orne and A.
D. Mathews. Many of Mr.. Owens
friends would like him to retain the
place, and many in the county who
acknowledge his ability and accepta-
BILE services will favor him if the two
term-only theory does not prevail.
Mr.. Orne is an honest, reliable man,
of good judgment and much business
experience. His nomination would
be q qualification to friends and a
recognition of the claims of Westmore
and Bloomington where Mr.. Orne re-
sides and does the most of his busi-
ness. Mr.. Matthews of Barton Land
ing is a very bright man and his eX-
perience in matters of business will
qualify him for the place, should it
be rendered him.
We hear of no new candidates fol
Sheriff or States Attorney. If there
is anything in these lines it has been
very carefully concealed. 1t has been
reported that the friends of Judge
Fletcher of Holland would be pleased
to have him made Judge of Probate
but we learn of no canvass in his be-
half.
We wish the times and customs
were such that each town would Sc

for good sense, honesty and hatred

to the convention unpleged to any

this is not the way politics run these
days. We hope, however, that out O
this canvass a set of men will be select

tendance should be large.
