Hon. John \. Page of Montpelier, ex-

his home at Montpelier Sunday morning
Mr. Page was born in Haverhill y. H., in

ton until last January. He was first elect
ed state treasurer in 1858 as a Democrat.
At the outbreak of the war he became a

the guest of eX-Gov. Smith Crowds of
people were gathered at all stations on the

was given them. On Thursday the party

rison spoke at Richmond and Waterbury.
On arrival at Montpelier he was escorted

BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY AUGUST %, 1891


In deciding to appoint Secretary Proctor
to succeed Mr.. Edmunds in the United
States Senate, Gov. Page has fulfilled the
wish and expectation of the people of Yer
mont, and has performed for them the best
service possible in this important matter.
The Governors letter to the Secretary an
nouncing his purpose to so appoint him is
printed elsewhere in this paper. As soon
as the fact of the resignation of Senator
Edmunds became known the thought of
every NermOnter instinctively turned to
Redfeld Proctor as the man of all others
best fitted by natural qualifications and eX-
perience in public life to take his place
He is a good lawyer, he has good record
as Union soldier, he filled the governors
chair with unusual ability and dignity, few
men in Vermont have achieved greater sue
cess in business life, and to crown all he
has performed the duties attaching to the
second highest place in President Harrison's
cabinet in way which has commanded
the confidence and pose of the whole coun-
try. Better than any other man he will
maintain the high traditions of Vermont
in the upper branch of the United States

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

To the Editor Of The PhRnir:
The late successful dedication of the
Bennington battle monument, so fully re-
ported in the press of the country suggests
statement as to the inception of the en-
terprise as a matter of historic interest.
While in 1858 an effort was made to.erect
monument to the memory of the heroes
of the battle of Bennington, yet the idea
of the present structure first took definite
shape in 1873, at meeting of the Reunion
society of Vermont officers. On that oc-
casion the second toast at the banquet sug-
gested centennial jubilation at Benning-
ton in 1915 and the speeches which fol-
lowed, led by the late j. Halsey Cushman,
pledged the society to aid both celebration
and monument.
The monument just dedicated was the
outgrowth of the centennial celebration
which followed, August rs, 1877.
This fact of history is not mentioned to
deprive any person of credit due, though
some of the statements going the rounds
of the press call to mind the incident of the
seven cities, which repudiated the strug-
Cling poet as failure until success was as
sured, then each claimed the honor of be-
ing his birthplace.

president Harrison's Speech at Albany, n VI
Now, my fellow citizens, we have this
year most abundant, yes, extraordinary,
grain crop. All of the great staples have
been yielded to the labor of the farmer in a
larger measure than ever before. A leading
agricultural paper estimates that the prod
uct of our farms will be worth 81 900, ,000,-
600 more this year than ever before, and it
happens that just with this great surplus in
our barns we find a scarcity in all the coun-
tries of Europe. Russia has recently pro-
hibited the export of rye, because she
needs her crop to feed her own people.
The demands in France and in England
and Germany will absorb every bushe of
the great surplus We shall have after our
people are fed, and whatever complaints
there may have been in the past. believe
this year will spread smile of gladness
over the entire agricultural population of
our country.
This is our opportunity, and | cannot see
how it shall be possible but that these eX-
ports of grain, now reaching the limit of
the capacity of our railroads and of our
ships, shall soon bring back to us the lost
gold we sent to Europe, and more that we
did not lose. | was told by an officer of
the West Shore road today that that road
alone was carrying 100000 bushels of
wheat every day into New York, and that
it scarcely stopped an hour in the elevator
but was run Immediately into the bottom
of a steam vessel that was to carry it
abroad. This is only an illustration of
what is going on. As the result of it our
people must be greatly enriched. Where
there has been complaint, where there has
been poverty, there must come this year
plenty, for the gardens have loaded the ta-
BILE, the orchards cannot bear the burdens
that hang upon their reddening limbs, and
the granaries are not equal to the product
of our fields. We ought, then, this day to
be happy people; we ought to be grateful
for these conditions, and careful every
where to add to them the virtues of pa
tience, frugality, love of order, and, to
crown all, great patriotism and devotion
to the constitution and the law-always
our rule of conduct as citizens.

Detectives sent there from Boston and
New York made great haul of pick
pockets at Bennington last week, pulling
over thirty well-known members of the craft
who were plying their trade there. One of
them was Shang Campbell, notorious
criminal who was wanted in Boston for va
rious offences, and who made a fight against
being sent there, as he is sure of going to
prison. Among the other gentry were two
experts who make a specially of stealing
diamond shirt-studs, and who were caught
