Mr.. Blaine's manly defense of his

Fair. If she can afford to stay away

The unanimity with which the gray
boards in political life advise young
men to keep out of it is won derful,
and reminds one of the preacher who,
being somewhat careless in his mode
of living, told his congregation to do
as he told them to do, and not as he
did.
Why not colonize all the Spring
poets in Algeria, which has river of
ink ? With ink free and white paper
only three cents pouud-a contract
was made the other day at a fraction
less than that-the poets might print
their own effusions and give the poor
editors a rest.
The politicians, of all parties, are
unanimous in their belief that the free
coinage of silver is surrounded on all
sides by sharp spikes, which accounts
for their reluctance to handle it.
The Worlds Fair management will
ask for $S,O0O,OOO. Did that Con-
gressional excursion have anything to
do with the extra $3,000,000
The peculiar tactics of some of the
opponents of free coinage will be
more likely to force the passage of
the bill than to defeat it.

A Narrow Escape.

Another narrow escape from loss
of human life occurred on Lake Cham
plain Monday afternoon.
The Plattsburgh stage which con-
meets with the Burlington stage at
Keeler's hotel, South Hero, left there
at p. M, as usual bound for Platts-
burgh. On account of poor ice, it
came by way of Gordon's and Cum
berland Head. When within 200
feet of the Head, on the New York
state side, the ice gave way, letting
the stage and its occupants into the
lake. With great difficulty Driver
Hoey succeeded in getting out the
horses and all passengers on board.
The sleighs, with their contents, went
to the bottom of the lake.
The water is about 20 feet deer
where the accident occurred, and ii
seems almost miracle that the horses
and some of the people on board were
not drowned.

Ludicrously False,
Hardwick Gazette:

The Brattleboro Phoenix alleges
that those editors who "make it ap-
pear that the league convention was
deliberately worked as boom for
Col. Fuller" do not know what they
are talking about, hardly any of them
having been present. The above may
possibly be attributed to ignorance on
the part of Col. French, but when he
says tnat "no effort was made to
create sentiment" for Fuller he states
what everybody present knows to be
ludicrously false. The boomers con-
yeption will go down in history as
the worst political "break" of this
generation.

eft of any one man or set of men
If it is turned into coat tail appen-

bition. dissensions must arise and the
majority of '92 will be smaller than
the meagre one of 80. The Repub-

they will want to be fairly represent

Springfield, Vt, Feb. 29th.
Ed. Gazette.-Your comments on
the republican league convention are
as true as gospel. The methods used
by Fuller's friends were all rehearsed
in advance, and a number of his
shouters had their expenses paid for
the purpose. If horse shedding and
literary bureaus will elect him, then
we may expoct to see him succeed.
Already his hired boomers are travel
ling through Windsor county, shout
ing for their employer. First comes
M. W. Davis of Westminster who
was to hustle among the farmers, and
then our own Hooker who was in
structed to say that "No power on
earth could beat Fuller for the gov
ernorship." Other shouters are scour-
ing the state for the same purpose
Great Heavens What can the re-
publicans of Vermont be thinking of
to even consider the nomination of a
man of the mental size of Fuller, and
who has only his money to commend
him ? He is posing for the soldier
vote and has the cheek to attend their
meetings, passing as veteran, when
he was not within gunshot of mill
tary camp during the war. No, we
want no such pretender for governor

PRICE THREE CENTS.


The action of Springfield in guar
anteering the Black River railroad
$40, 900 as soon as the road was built
through the town practically settles
the railroad difficulty in that section.
1t is probable that Wethersfield will
now do so as well and that grading
will begin in the spring.
Work has begun on the trestes to
the Westminster suspension bridge.
The bridge is to be single span with
two trestles about one-third of the
way from the ends. 1t will be 800
feet long and will be at least 40 feet
from the surface Of the water. The
cost for bridge and approaches will be
about $4,000. A tract of 800 acres
will become available for building
lots as soon as the bridge is complete.
The agriculture of Vermont is look
ing up. OF the 1894 farms that
changed hands last year, 252 were of
the class known as abandoned, and
they were purchased by people who
wanted them for homes. The invest
ments in new manufacturing enter
prises amount to S74l 900; those in
Burlington alone will call into new
employment thousand people. In
the spring new 100000 wooden mill
will be opened at Ludlow. The old
farms will all be reoccupied in a very
short time if this growth of manu-
featuring continues. Their produce
will be needed to supply the home
market.

Smash the Slate,

1t is freely talked, and undoubted-
ly true, that Levi Fuller was slated
for the governorship two years ago,
and in accordance with that agree
ment the Burlington Free Press came
out the next morning after the league
meeting with string of cut and dried
interviews of men who professed a
preference for Fuller. And now,
seeing that the people are the sover-
elgns, it will be in order to smash the
slate and scatter the remnants from
Pownal to Newport.
How
At the caucuses.
That is the only place in Vermont
that the people can speak and let
their voices be heard.
Vermont is the first State to fire a
gun in the great presidential contest to
be decided this fall. Therefore it is of
the utmost Importance to the Republi-
can party that their candidate for gov
ernor shall be vote winner. The SIF-
TER reiterates its statement made three
weeks ago, that no man in the State
can poll as many votes as Henry A.
Fletcher of Cavendish.
Why?
For the reason then given and which
will bear repeating:
He is man of conceded ability.
He is practical farmer.
He is veteran soldier-not one of
the kind that fights with his mouth.
He is not scrambling for the office.
Friends, in Windsor county, stir
yourselves, and see that you send a
solid delegation to the convention for
Henry A. Fletcher.
He will be vote winner.

The announcement that arrangement
has been entered into 10y the anthracite
roads for the regulation Of coal produc-
ton and rates is something to be read,
in connection with recent developments
in New England. with especial interest
by the people Of Rhode Island. The
Reading system is now SO intimately
connected with the Long Island and the
New York and New England that its
hustling presidents success IN gather
ing in the Lehigh Valley and Jersey
Central gives him practical control of
the coal business, and connects Boston
and Providence with a new and power
full combination. The Poughkeepsie
bridge is of course powerful factor in
the situation, as bringing to the eastern
towns coal from the mines without re-
handling.
We do not anticipate higher prices as
the result of such combination. SIM
plifcation Of management and cessation
of competition will so reduce the eX-
pense Of production that handsome
profits can be paid out of moderate
prices.

The possible candidacy for the United

two such men rs Senator a lrich and
ex-Gov. Weimore can hardly be looked
upon in any other light than as great
benefit to the Republican party Of the
State. The enthusiasm and interest
which such a contest will create will
call into action all the latent forces q
Republicanism and can only result in a
most substantial victory.
That under the present circumstance
there is urgent need OF some incentive is
plain. The Democrats. flushed by their
success in the recent municipal contests
in Newport, Providence. Pawtuslset and
Woonsocket, and backed by the patron
age which their Offices give them, will
make the most strenuous efforts 10 secure
majority Of the next Legislature. II
