Two Political Meetings.

Our people have been highly enter.
tanned within the past few days with
what have been termed political dis.
cussions, but from the entertaining
speeches in point Of pleasanthess and
finish the audience derived much
pleasure as we'll as profit with refer
ence to political researches. There
we've two meetings, the first OF which
was held last Friday evening under
democratic auspices, the speakers be-.
ing Mfr. Brigham the Democratic can
didate for governor, Elisha May OF st.
Johnsbury, and Mr.. Boynton of Mont
pelier. The second meeting was held
last Monday evening under republican
auspices, and the speakers were our
townsmen, Gov. Dale, Col. Mansur,
and Hon. s. d. aobson. Both meet.
ings were largely attended. Mr..
Boynton's speech was characterized
by the finest rhetoric and polish, and
pleased the audience immensely. Mr..
Mays talk showed the result OF careful
study and investigation, and as he II
indefa tigable Us a student he brought
to the attention OF the audience ma.
terial from every part OF the tiel d that
awakened the deepest interest in the
issues now before the people. Col.
Mansur and MFR. Boynton discussed
the tariff in a candid, dspassionat tt
manner and, as far as could be done
In the tune, presented the Issues in
volved in the subject in as clear
a manner as has ever been done to
our people. II Is the general opinion
among Republicans that Mr.. Mansur
fairly surpassed himself. The graceful
and gentlemanly presence OF the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor by his
easy manners added much to the
pleasure OF the audience and convinced
every body that the Democrats could
not have nominated a better man,
Gov. Dale, though not in entire accord
with all the legislation OF the past two
years showed that this arose from q
diversity OF opinion among both Re
publicans and Democrats. and that
thay were alike responsible for 1t. lie
stated that the political life OF the Re
publican candidate for Governor de-
pended on his carrying out the work
he has promised to do, and that II he
was the veriest sconndrel in the world
