EVENING OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Gettysburg. What a name in our his
tory has that become, Before the civil
war, as early perhaps as 1858 or 80, the
leaders on the southern side had planned
to move their forces upon Gettysburg.
Thence they purposed for themselves
an easy and rapid advance to Phladel-
pha, New York, Boston and Bunker
Hill. What if that plan had succeeded
Our cities have had their cvcloramas
of the battle of Gettysburg, the canvas
painted by the French artist. Paul Phil
opoppolis, being justly famous. Thous-
ands of people in Boston and Chicago
have gazed upon that realistic represen-
tation. But there is nothing better to
understand that great event of the civil
war than the vivid word representation
of such lecturers as Charles Carlton Cof-
fin and the chaplain of the l4th Ner-
mont, Rev. DR.. Smart. The evening of
May 80, Memorial day, will probably
see the town hall in Middlebury filled
to overlooking. DR.. Smart's eloquence
and patriotism were so much appreciated
by the veterans and others who attended
the late dedicatory services of the Gettys-
burg monument that he was especially
demanded for that occasion. Many NAV
not know that that beautiful new monu-
ment is copy of the celebrated Nelson
monument in Trafalgar square, London
DR.. Smart may not refer to this, but there
is no question that his lecture will be
replete with fact and almost startling
with graphic intensity as with map anC
tongue, upon the evening of Memorial
day, he shall appear before us.

THE RUTLAND ROAD LEASED.

1t is announced that the Rutland rail-
road has been leased TO the Delaware IL
Hudson Canal Co. The Rutland has been
operated by the Central Vermont compa-
ny since 1870 on lease which expires
on the 3lst of December, 1890. The an
nual rental since the modification of the
lease few years since has been some
S25S, 900. a few years ago majority of
Rutland stock was sold to the Delaware
IL Hudson Canal company, and since then
negotiations have been in progress for a
lease in perpetuity of the Rutland to the
Central Vermont, beginning January l.,
1891. 1t is reported that the Delaware &
Hudson company submitted proposition
to the Central Vermont for lease of the
Rutland road for a rental of some $780,
600, but that the Central company con-
sidered this figure higher one than they
could afford to pay. Last Friday the
directors of the Rutland and Delaware &
Hudson companies held meeting in New
York city and effected lease of the
former road to the latter. The lease of
the Rutland to the Delaware causes re-
vival of the rumors of projected new
roads in central Vermont.

CURRENT OPINION.
OPPRESSIXE SILENCE

1t is getting dull here in Vermont po-
ftically. Why don't the State press
legin TO talk up the governorship ques-
Jon little! Here it is the last of April,
he State convention is upon us, and who
as read the first thing about a governor
, any of the State papers? Strange the
ld-timers of the Vermont press don't
hention somebody for governor. This
Hence is oppressive.-[S [Swanton Courier
THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.
The Congressional canvass in the first
istrict is progressing quietly with
udge Powers apparently leading in the
We northern counties of this district.
Ir. Batchelder's friends claim for him
is own county solid, together with a
Prger part of Rutland county. The fit
ess of Judge Powers for the position is
Verywhere recognized and the general
Import accorded him by the press of the
istrict would seem to point to his nomi-
alton by decided majority News

Every Democrat on the supreme court

WHAT OF lT2

The principal objection to electing Col.
Pingree governOr-and perhaps the only
|ne-is the danger of establishing pre-
|edent of taking the governor from the
|ieutenant's chair. Such precedent
(nce established will have to be broken
by the people or all spontanetv and en-
|husiasm for the nomination of governor
Min be destroyed and the principal
|hought and care will be centered upon
he nomination of lieutenant governor.
The Caledonian approvingly quotes the
bove from its issue of May 10, 1884, and
ELLIS its readers that "them's our senti-
|nents" now. Spontaneity and enthusi-
SIN over the nomination of governor
lave not been marked features of recent
|ampaigns, particularly if we except the
|pontaneity and enthusiasm manifested
Sy the candidates themselves. There is
DO reason why the "principal thought
| nd care" may not just as well center
bout the choice of lieutenant governor
he boy who goes cunning for wood
hucks has just as much fun as if they
We're bears.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

OF the Methodist church at West Sails

Thursday. Rev. and Mrs. Hall were
about to drive on to the ferry boat at
Bridport when the horse became fright
ened, jumped sideways in:o the lake,
turning the carriage bottom side up in
about ten feet of water, with Mrs. Hall
underneath the wreck. Thomas and

FRIDAY, MAY o, 1890.
So! /!

One of the strong elements in the cam
|lidacy of Hon. James X. Batchelder is
he feeling that he is man of the people,
who, without lowering his position to
hat of an errand boy, would yet realize
It's true significance as that of public
|ervant, the agent and representative of
bis constituents.-E Exchange.
This and like paragraphs printed by

For CONGRESS.

a Democratic friend, who generally
knows whereof he speaks, writes us as
follows: "The Democratic candidate for
Congress in this district will probably
be Geo. F. o. Kimball, Esq, of Ver-
gennes. Mr.. kimball was postmaster at
Nergennes during Mr.. Clevelands ad-
ministration, represented the city in the
Legislature of 1882 and was one of the
electors on the Hancock ticket in 1880.
He is very popular Democrat, and is
well and favorably known throughout
the district. Mr.. Kimball would be sure
to poll the full vote of his party"
