Senator Proctor,

1t is now Senator Proctor, the Gov. hav-
ing carried out his previously expressed
purpose of appointing Hon. Redfield Proc
tor United States Senator, by sending him
an official notice of his appointment. An
official proclamation OF this kind is rare
document here in Vermont, and we place
this one before our readers lest they miss
The opportunity Of ever seeing a sample;
HYDE PARK, Nov. 2, 81.
Hon. REDFIELD PROCTOR, Proctor, VT,
DEAR SIR:-In accordance with my pre-.
viously expressed purpose, have this day
appointed you a United States Senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Hon. George f. Edmunds.
The office Of United States Senator, as
created by the Constitution, is the most
honorable within the gift of the state;
and, important as it is ordinarily, it seems
to be clothed with additional honor and
responsibility, when we consider the sig
nal ability with which it has been filled
during the last half century by such men
as Phelps, Upham, Foote, Collamer, Nor
rill and Edmunds.
May the magnitude of the responsible
ties which you to-day assume, and the in
spiration OF the long and honorable line OF
distinguished statesmen who have preced-
ed you, strengthen you in your every ef-
fort, and may those efforts be directed by
that Providence which holdeth nations as
in the hollow of His hand, to the end that
purity and wisdom may characterize all
your actions.
With assurance of sincere respect, am
Yours truly,

Montpelier's New station Agent.

After considerable delay and much dis
cussion among the managers OF the Central
Vermont railroad, as TO who was the very
best man to fill the place Of station agent
at Montpelier. made vacant by the resigna-
ton of S. l.. Howe, the long time agent
there, Mr.. W. Thompson, who for several
years has been the efficient eastern general
passenger agent OF the great Chicago and
Rock Island road, has been appointed and
has consented to accept the position and
will enter upon its duties November 10.
Mr.. Thompson is a Montpelier boy who
spent most of his younger days there and
has a most comprehensive knowledge OF
railroad matters, being hustler, as he has
continually demonstrated in his office at
Boston where competition for western
travel is ever at high tide. Mr. Thompson
is very popular all over the state and there
is no question but what his appointment
win be eminently satisfactory to Montpe-
lier people He is son-inlaw OF Judge
Bailey OF this village and is therefore we'll
known here. The officials Of the road are
to be congratulated on having secured the
services OF so efficient a man for this very
important station.-St. Albans Messenger.

n utClHlOH HAS DttH IthC0tu at ldoI III
the Tilden will case which it is supposed
will close the matter out entirely. The
city of New York will lose the magnifi-
cent public library il had in prospect, al
though through the concession OF one of
the heirs, a large sum will be used to car
ry out the original intentions of the testa-
tor. Gov. Tilden is supposed to have left
Sc, ,OO0,O 900, which during the controversy
over the will has grown to about =, 900, ,000-
Less than one million of this was left to
nephews and nieces, he having no direct
heirs, and the balance was given to found
a public library in the city of New York,
which should possess size and advantages
far superior to anything of the kind in
the country. To make a sure thing of his
scheme he adopted the curious device of
disinheriting any OF the heirs who should
attempt to break the will. One OF the
heirs, not frightened by this entered into
some kind of arrangement with the rest
and threw himself into the breach. With
the help Of lawyers more cunning than
Mr.. Tilden the cherished plans OF his life
have been substantially defeated. All will
not be lost as the niece who was to receive
the largest share of the estate aids, as al
ready stated, in carrying out her uncle's
intentions. Mr.. Tilden is now criticized
because he did not act as his own execu-
tor. But this is not an easy thing to do
where ones money is in business. Mr..
Tilden evidently thought himself sharp
enough to devise his own property, but no
knowing what a court will do. Court de-
cisions are about as surprising as jury ver-
diets. Thus endeth one long-winded con-
test.

Another move has been made in the An
dover controversy which win probably end
the whole affair so far as the courts are
concerned, as present indications are that
no one will care to follow it farther. This
was sort Of semi-heresy case. 1t found
its way into the secular courts upon the
charge that the intentions OF certain tes-
tators were being defeated in that the
doctrines taught on the foundations they
established would not have met their APP
proval. The present decision concerns
the power of the Board OF Visitors, and is
substantially against the Board. There
is no doubt but that the case could be ta-
ken up de moro and carried along through
succeeding generations, but it probably
will not be. The bitterest resentments
end in course of time. 1t remains for some
new case to start on an endless circuit OF
the courts. 1t looks as though Prof. Egg
bert Smythe would remain at Andover as
long as he chose to do so.

A report has started that Pres. Harrison
does not wish to spare Secretary Proctor

regard to the report, but expresses him
self as not unwilling to be accommodate
ing in the matter. OF course the story
was started to keep things lively, but it

man who knows the situation at once.

Elections were held in IL states on Tues
day of this week. We go to press too ear
ly to get many returns. We would say in
regard to them that four are leading states
Of the Union and are republican in their
general political sentiment, although now
they happen to have democratic govern
ors. The present contest is mainly to see
whether the democratic governors can be
kept in office. The republicans are plain
ly ashamed of the result of their neglect,
and in some of the states will unquestion-
ably redeem themselves by close attention
to business. In New York it lis a ques-
tion Of rum, Romanism, and ignorance, as
against the better elements of society.
The democrats and republicans held a
joint debate in Music Hall, Boston, which
was splendid affair. Henry Cabot Lodge
was the republican champion, Candidate
Allen being still on the sick list. 1t is not
known how much truth was INDUCED in,
how much falsehood was dressed up in the
garb of truth, how much truth was kept
in the background lest its appearance as
tonish some one. These joint debates are
sometimes brilliant, but they are not con-
vincing. The most that they do is to per-
suade each one more firmly into his own
views and show the reasons for each ones
political action. They are good political
training schools even if they change not a
vote.

SPECIAL HELEGRAA TO II DISFAECH.l
CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.-The baseball war
began here to-day in earnest when Anson, OF
Chicago; Robinson, of Cleveland, and j. w.
Spalding, of New York, arrived this morn
ing and Immediately sent out for Mullane,
McPhee, Reilly, Rhines, Keenan, and
other local players. To eacn was ex-
hlbited the dispatch announcing that knauss
had jumped his Columbus contract and
signed with Cleveland and one from Mark
Baldwin. naming terms which Arson has
accepted.
Each of the players was assured that 1t
was TO his interest to sign with the League;
that the League club here would be acorker
and that the contracts the men had signed
last October are not binding, because the
Brotherhood is dead. TIL men refused to
say what they had done, except that they
had not signed. The magnates, however,
were in a Jolly humor and declared the war
would be short and hot and the League
would win.
They declined to say what progress had
been made in signing players, but said the
list would be ready in a day or two and would
make the League solid. The players undouot-
ediy svmpathize with the Association, but are
afraid il will cut off bread and butter to cut
loose from the League.
Nessrs. Robinson and Spalding have left the
city and gone to their respective homes. Mari
has signed a League contract, and 1t is safe TO
say that Mullane, Rhfnes, McPhee, Keenan,,
Holiday and Reilly have done the same. The
Association is dead in this city, and it is abso-
lutely safe to bank on this tatement.
