Gated one-half mile east of Pownal
Centre, on the Bennington road, is one
worthy of note. This building was
erected for hotel in ITO by Timothy
Munson, then a young man and resi-
dent of Pownal. Mr.. Munson was land
lord for number of years. and during
his stay many exciting times were ex-
perienced about this old building, now
nearly forgotten. 1t was the head
quarters for what was known as the
"horse company" IA company of minute
men, or cavalry, during and before the
war of 1912, and it was customary for the
company to assemble for drill at this
hotel. Two other companies then in
the town of POwnal met at the Centre,
but this company, which was captured
by willard Bates, always met at the old
hotel. John Westinghouse was after
ward captain of the "horse company"
as was also Colonel Thomas Brownell
and David Gardner. The company dis
banded about 1910. During the time Mr..
Munson ran the hotel many of the
officers of the Massachusetts, militia, on
their way to and from Bennington,
stopped there. The building was also
used by the Masons, hall in the upper
part being fitted up for their quarters

Sarah in the little cemetery at Pownal.

sixty years old at her death. The build

has been removed. lis not occupied at

Church, the Apostolic letters, formally
appointing him Coadjutor to the Bishop
of Burlington. Our readers will recall
that the diocesan, the venerable Bishop

for an Assistant Bishop, because of the
increasing infrmities of age, and the
growing cares of this important diocese

P0PU|ISTIC GATHERING.
Candidates Mentioned for the Oct.
lst Convention.

The Populists hold their convention
to nominate candidates for county Of
fees at the school house in New Avon
township next Saturday afternoon,
commencing at two o'clock. As will
be seen by the call published else
where the convention will consist of
50 delegates, providing all Of the pre-
cincts send their full representation,
the basis agreed upon being one dele
gate at large for each voting precinct
and one for every Is votes, and major
fraction thereof, cast for S. NJ. Owen
for governor in 1890.
Andrew Stewart the candidate for
representative, and chairman of the
county committee, will be present,an
aside from calling the convention to
order he will make a rafting speech,
calling upon all tried and true Popu-
lists to stand by the corpulent 1gna-
thus Donnelly for governor fact
the whole Peoples Party ticket from
top to bottom. Andrew, having shown
his excellent parliamentary ability at
the last state convention, may be asked
to preside over the destinies of the
county convention.
There isn't much talk about the
Pooulist candidates for the county Of
fees. Farmers, as a rule, dislike the
activity Of the political field, and oft
times it is necessary to crack the whip
ere they awake to sense of rolit;cal
duties. Occasionally, hint is thrown
out here and there, leading the sus
ceptible newspaper man to believe
that he has nailed nominee, but up
on secondary consideration, the news
paper fellow concludes that he don't
know much about it.
Several good Populists were in town
during the past three or four days,and

Apathy.
was curious to know what was the
real cause Of this apparent apathy on
the part of the Democrats. An investi-
cation shows that it grows largely out
OF the tariff situation. Careful inquiries
into the condition of the manufacturing
industries Of New York state show that
they are t!ourishing as they have never
tlourished before. And their prosperity
is attributed to the tariff system which
Mr.. Cleveland and his followers are
pledged to destroy. Investigations into
the condition Of the various manufac-
turing interests have shown this to be
the fact. The clothing manufacturers,
the glove makers, the cutlery manufac-
turers, the pearl button factories, the
great shirt and collar manufacturing
establishments OF Troy, the iron and
steel industries. the tin plate Elanufac-
turers. the clothing manufacturers and
dealers and many other industries Of
this character report increased rroduc-
ton. increased wages, increased profits
and reduced prices to the public for
goods they manufacture.
The exporters report improved mar
kets and better prices for American pro
duction, both in Europe and III Central
and South America. The most st1ik-
ing argument, however, in favor of the
Mckinley law comes from the Demo-
cratic commissioner of labor, Peck,
who reports increased wages for more
than quarter of a million workmen
amounting to over $4,000, 900 under the
first year Of the Mckinley law, and
over $3O,0O0.000 increase of manufac-
lures
I Harmonious Republicans.
Another extremely encouraging fea-
ture of the situation to the Republicans
is the thorough harmony in Republican
ranks and the thorough lack of that
article in Democratic ranks. Thecon-
ference at the residence of Whitelaw
Reid, the Republican candidate for vice
president, in which Senator Plat, Gen
eral Clarkson, Warner Miller and others
met the president with great cordiality,
shows That the New York Republicans
are thoroughly united and thoroughly
in line for Republican success. On the
other hand, the apparent lack of har-
mony on the Democratic side causes
great depression among the leaders and
in the rank and file of that party.
Democrats All at Sea.

what their course Will be. The Cleve-
land element has evidently lost hope of
success in New York state and has little
expectation Of carrying Connecticut or
any Of the New England states. The
New York Sun Democratic admits that
even New Jersey is doubtful state, and
that it is not improbable that the Re-
publicans may win there.
The talk Of carrying certain western
states for the Democrats fails to arouse
any enthusiasm here. The Sun per-
Nistently denominates the attempt as
rainbow chasing" and a mere waste of
time and money.
The Newspaper Fund a Failure.
That the Democrats of the country
take no stock in the proposition is shown
by the failure Of the effort of hundred
Democratic newspapers to raise cor
ruption fund for this purpose. 1t is now
nearly a month since this proposition
was put on its feet and the country VAS
appealed to for subscriptions. More
than a hundred daily papers have le1t
their plaintive appeals to the chorus Of
demands. but without success. The
subscriptions which come in are of the
ten cent order, and the total amount
raised aside from the subscription of
the newspapers which are working
this scheme for their own ADVERTISE
ment, amount to only about $4,000.

ance.
Nothing that has appeared since the
campaign opened has attracted more at
tention than President Harrison's letter
Of acceptance. 1t has proven a most
telling document, and one which it is
felt must prove extremely valuable to
the party. His clear statement of the
benefits to manufacturers and working
men already felt under the Mckinley
law, produces marked effect, while his
showing of the growth of our foreign
commerce under reciprocity is equally
convincing. His commentator of Mr..
Blaine in the good work he performed
while member of the cabinet, both as
to reciprocity and otherwise, is very
gratifying to the admirers of that great
man. One important service that the
letter has nerformed is to bring to the

The ex-Confederate Democrats are

coming election, which they hope may
give them control Of the senate again.
Senator Benjamin Harrison, in q report

that the Democratic ergeant-at-ar1ns Of
the senate had ex-Confederates as about
16 per cent. of his force, and that the

Eugene Hale was seen ON his way to

Blaine's speaking in the campaign he
said that if he is well enough he would
make two or three speeches in Maine

not he will write q ringing letter to the

Demand for Cash to Move Crops Much
Less Than Year Ago.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.--sSecretary
Foster says that there is nothing like the
demand this year for money for the
movement Of the crops in the West that
occurred last year. He explained 1t by
saying that large portion Of the money
shat was sent West last year remained
40 the West. and did not have to be re-
turned East for the payment Of loans
and interest. So far there has been sent
West for this year about 81, ,000, 900. The
treasury department has made arrange
ments to circulate 81, $2 and % notes in
the West IL they should be demanded.
Every subtreasury win be supplied with
bills OF the small denominations and be
teady to furnish Western banks with
them when they are called for. There
e desire on the part of the treasury
department to exchange these small
notes for gold coin. AT present there is
4 great deal more gold coin in the West
than in the East, and there is not in the
treasury any too much gold, and for this
xeason the secretary desires to exchange
the small notes, Of which there is scar
city In the West, for gold.

vision OF opinion among the Republican
campaign managers in the East regard
ing the proposed stnmping TOUR OF Presi-
dent Harrison in the Empire state. The
scheme was proposed by Senator His

that President Harrison thinks it would
be highly improper for him to make
popular appeals for votes when an oc-
cupant of the White House.

Square Garden has not entirely bean
given up, but shrewder politicians think
that it would be safer not to involve the
president in any public demonstration.
The president will go to New York at
any rate, and while there will have q
conference with Platt It is said that
Platt is not unwilling but quite anxious
to meet the president. and it is predicted,
by men who know the trouble between
them, that in FIVE minutes after such q
meeting the misunderstanding will be
removed and that Platt will thereafter
take an active part In the campaign.

A SUSPECTED CASE.


Pears That's Cholera Has Reached the
City Of Berlin.
BERLIN, Aug. 26. There are serious
fears that cholera has broken out il this
city. The wife OF q merchant named
Landrock. living at 10 Golden Staasse,
died at midnight with symptoms Of the
Asiatic cholera. The case Is being in
vestigated. At q conference Of leading
medical men Of this city the opinion
was unanimously expressed That an epi-
demic of cholera was unlikely. It was
suggested, however, that everybody
should take three drops Of muriatic acid
daily In a tnmbler Of water, and that
great care should be taken to keep dies
away from the food. The authoritieson
the frontier have been admonished to
redouble their precautions against the
admission of persons or articles sus-
pected of infection, and everywhere the
local authorities are displaying the ut
most vigilance.
