A Correction.

TO THE oPINIoN.-DeGr Happening
lately to see, for the first time, the "His-
tory of Bradford" published in 1874. l
notice In it several grave errors, both
of omission and commission, some of
which the present residents of the town can
more fifty correct than can. But having
spent some time there In my girlhOod, I
can point out several distinct, and probab-
ly unintentiOnal misstatments in the article
concerning the late Emily Rebecca Page, a
native of Bradford with whom was well
acquainted, and the details of whose life
there, and afterward in Boston, knew
very well. Some of these errors will not
ing to her literary work. The book says
that ''some of her early poems found their
lCGy into print, greatly to her regret in
after years. Miss Page was not over six
teen years old when became acquainted
with her. She had many good gifts, and
among them q generous self-appreciation.
She did not hesitate, to tell me that she
sent her verses to the ''lOcal paper''-then
the "VermOnt Family Gazette" edited
and published by Mr.. A. b. +. Hildreth,
and know they were received by him in
her own pretty handwriting. If she regret
ted this in after years, she simply regretted
her own action
Miss Page was copy-holder in the Office
of q. G. BallOu's publications in Boston.
OF this was only recently assured by Mr..
B. P. Shillaber of Boston, now lately dead
who was well acquainted with her and
with Mr.. BallOu.
The book says that Miss Page was one of
the two Vermont writers admitted nv
Charles A. Dana to his "Household Poetry
of the World" Now Mr.. Charles A. Dana
has completed only one volume of poetry.
That is entitled ssThe Household Book Of
Poetry" and was published in 1858. II

thing she ever wrote; nor, as far as / can

generally called Vermonter; but he was
born in Fryeburg, Maine. Mr.. Dana's
book was eminently conservative: IL admit

cans, and at the time of its publication.
Miss Page could not have been over twenty
six years old.

by far the most serious, since it involves

CLEVELAND SENTIMENT PREpoMi-
MATES.

MATES,
THR Philadelphia Times advises the |
public generally and the Democrats in
particular not to worry about Hill. The
Tines says:
The whole country knows that Gov.
ernor Hills last election was the price of
the betrayal Of the national Democracy
and the election Of a Republican Presi-
dent by the electoral vote Of New York
in the face Of a popular majority for
President Cleveland, larger than his
majority Of 1884, and the whole country
knows that the same inhsence would
betraY any honest and patriotic Demo-
cratic candidate for President next year,
Just as they betrayed Hancock in 1880
and Cleveland in 1883.
While Hill may not be able to obtain
the nomination for the Presidency for
himself and probably does not expect 20
obtain 1t. his faction will try to prevent
the nomination OF Cleveland Many par
tisans in New York do not love Hill so
much as they hate Cleveland more.
There Is no doubt that Cleveland aud
the Cleveland sentiment dominates the
Democratic party. Hill, the New York
Sun and Senator German represent, IL
they do not compose all thero Is Of the
protection sentiment in the Democratic
party That sentiment has been decress-
ing till there Is actually nothing left OF it
since Randall dwiudled politically, died
physically and his personal party went
to pieces
As Tilden stood for reform. for pro
gress. for bold and well defined honesty
in 1880, 50 Cleveland stands for reform
Of the tariff and equal and just taxation
now
When, at the behest and foolish re-
quest Of the New York recalcitrants,
Tldea wes put aside and Hancock taken
in his place, on the false and foolish
hypothesis that he would suit
the Republicans better, he wa,
most ignoninlously beaten because Ii,
did not suit the Democrat,
so we'll II is useless to angle To-
Republican votes for a Democrati
noiGinee; it is almost as useless to at
tempt TO please certain class Of New
York Democrats who will always sscri

Hancock episode and disaster In 1880 ant
the Hill detection against Cleveland il
1885 prove that.

Cotton was suppressed. That Is, tie
News gives the reasons for the public,
but the private and real reason is that
he is a Republican. The. fact that
no bill was to be found against Cotton, was
known to him some time ago He told
an EVENING JOURNAL reporter last week
practically that the matter was all 6xed.
Il is likely that he, the Morning

8 month ago as well as they know now
what has been done. The fact that the
Morning News praises and explains
that work shows the character the

sanship. We quote and commend u for
what IL says, now too late, about Pierce's
robbery. But when the EVENING
JOURNAL published facts to show that
Pierce was dishonest eighteen months
ago the News printed statement that
