THE LIEUTENANT-Go -GovERNORsHIP.

Candidates for the lieutenant-gover-
norship are cropping out. The names are
mentioned of Elihu B. Taft of Burling-
ton, c. p. Hogan of Sheldon, F. 5. Stran-
a han of st. Adams and l.. ID. Eldredge
of Middlebury.-[S st. Johnsbury Repub-
llcan.
We do not know how it may be with
the rest of the gentlemen named in the
above paragraph, but it is true that Hon.
L. d. Eldredge has been mentioned for
second place on the State ticket, and that
he will be candidate.
1t seems to be conceded that Addison
county is as much entitled as any county
to have candidate for the position, and
the county is agreed that Mr.. Eldredge
is its choice. Although it is not neces-
sary to inform people hereab)u who or
what he is, it may be well to say for
the information of the State in general
that Mr.. Eldredge graduated from Mid
dlebury college in the class of 1857, and,
after studying law, practiced for awhile
in Grand Isle county, where he served as
bury in 1862 and has since resided here.
He was deputy collector of internal rev.
enue from 1870 to 1874, and in 1876 was
elected senator from the county, serving
as chairman of the committee on federal
relations and as IA member of the judiciary
committee. In 1888 he represented the
town in the lower house, being chairman
of the committee on corporations and a
member of the judiciary committee. He
has, therefore, all necessary qualifica-
tions in the way of legislative expert
ence; and he is, besides, an excellent
presiding officer, and a business man of
exceptional capacity, which he has
shown, to speak of but one instance, as
the treasurer of Middlebury college,
whose endowment and income have ma
terally increased under his adminlstra-
ton. His two sessions IN the legislature
and his business affairs have given him a
wide acquaintance, confined to no one
section of the State. He is sound in all
matters of State and national concern,
and may be trusted fully to do the right
thing in any contingency that may arise.
His candidacy, in view of what he has
done and is, deserves careful cOnsidera-
ton, and that aside from any claims the
county as county may have upon the

THE LECTURE COURSE.

The lecture course which a committee
of the college faculty is managing has
been pretty definitely arranged. The
dates, speakers and subjects will be about
as follows: April %, President Andrews
of Brown university, who will speak on
"The Social Plaint"; April 20, Prof. J.
B. Clark of Smith college, who will talk
on "The Farmers Movement in the South
and Vest; May 6, Prof. j. F. Jameson,
Phi. D., whose subject will be, "The Ori-
gin of Political Parties in America down
to and including the Adoption of the Con-
stitution in 17S9"; May 13, Prof. Chas.
II. Levermore, Phi. d., who will continue
the topic of the last speaker and talk on
1.-THE Origin of the Whig and Democratic
Parties =; May 20, Mr., Horace G. Wadlin,
chief of the Massachusetts bureau of sta
tistics of labor, Immgration-lts Re-
suits and the Policy of Restriction" The
last date, May 27, is still open, but pro-
vision Will be made for filling it. 1t will
be noted that the speakers are all eminent
men, who know the subjects on which
they are to talk and it i'll be seen, also,
that the topics are of current interest and
solid worth. 1t is to be hoped that a
from surrounding towns, will hear the
lectures. Tickets for the course will be
sold at 81 each.

Our Vergennes friends are trying to
form a cemetery association, but we hope
before they go ahead they will investi-
gate and see how such organizations
work, or, rather, how they don't. We
can show them right here in Middlebury.
1t has come to pass here, as 1t will there
in the course of time, that members of
matter either move away or die off, leav-
ing no one to pay assessments on lots or
to care for them. Such a result is inev-
liable unless the town or some church
manages the cemetery.

The Democrats of Rutland have had
two caucuses and have elected two sets
of delegates to the conventions of the
party. The war going on in the ranks
of the State Democracy is of little ac-
count to any one in or out of the party,
the leaders excepted. 1t is, indeed, mere
ly a fight to see who shall be the "boss"
to dispense patronage should the party
win in the national election. The party
in the State is run strictly on tariff
for revenue" basis, and the revenue will
go to the man who can dictate appoint
ments when the party gets into power in
the nation. But it is safe to say the old
line contingent, of whom Mr. Atkins is
the head, will win ultimately. The only
time the distinguished Montpelier cham
pion of reform and prohibition ever got
left was two years ago, when the young
er brethren caught him mapping. The
indications are that he is awake this year.

M STONE BRIDGE VOTED \
SPECIAL TOWN MBBT-

y fThe special town meeting, at the town
Nall on Saturday, called to consider the
question of a bridge over Otter creek in
this village, was very fully attended by
the voters from outside as well as by
those in the village. 1t was voted to
have a stone bridge, at a cost to the town
not exceeding $4,000, MIR. Joseph Bat
tell undertaking to see to the rest of the
expense.
c. NJ. Wilds, Esq, the moderator, call
ed the meeting to order at 10 o'clock, and
Town Clerk Brooks read the two warm
ings, which were substantially alike, ex-
cept that one was much the more specific.
The first article read "To see what
action the town will take in regard to re-
scinding or modifying the vote passed at
the last annual meeting appointing a
committee to purchase and cause to be
constructed an iron bridge in the village
of Middebury, including piers, abut-
ments and roadbed, and providing for
the payment of the expense of the same"
When 1t was reached John w. Martin
moved that the vote referred to be re-
scinded.
Hon. John w. Stewart thought the
voters should understand the situation
before any vote was taken. They would
remember, he said, that at the annual
town meeting it was not made to appear
that stone bridge was within the means
of the town. An iron bridge was there
fore voted and the selectmen and COM
mittee, following the instructions of the
town, made contract for an iron
bridge with the Pittsburgh Bridge
Co. He left town few days after
the contract was made, and the first
he knew of any proposed change
was when he received letter from Mr..
Turk. the agent of the Pittsburgh peO-
pie, in which he said, in substance, that
the company would release the town
from the contract if it so desired. The
vagueness OF the information as to
stone bridge had arisen from a variety of
causes, chief among which was the fact
that the original plan for stone bridge
provided for an unnecessarily expensive
structure. If there hadn't been any plan
at all, this question would have been dis
posed of long ago. Within the week re-
sponsibe contractors had been here and
looked the ground over and had given as
surances that first-class stone bridge
could be built at price the town could
afford. Among them was Mr.. Munroe of
Pembroke, Ontario, who had built many
bridges, among Others one in his own
town, 300 feet long, at a cost of about
$4,000. Mr., Munroe would undertake
to build a bridge here, and build it this
summer, at a cost of less than Sl5, 900.
Another contractor had said bridge
could be erected for $4,000. The man
who took the contract would depend for
the most part upon local masons and
laborers. He was satisfied that the bridge
need not cost over $4,000, in which case,
under Mr.. Battell's offer, the cost to the
town would not be over $4,000. Mr..
Turks conduct throughout had been fair

Se1ni-Anuual Ball,

The Miners Union Bail of Friday
night VAS largely attended. All such
former demonstrations were we'll adver-
tiscd on the outside but the committee
this time very wisely avoided such cx-
pense as the time has come when the
capacity of our halls will not more than
entertain our own people. 1t seemed
that all Neihart had turned out. And
it was no possible for all to dance at
once. Comfortable seats were furnished
for all and in conversation and mirthful
jollity between dances the night was
spent. People stayed till morning, and
in the language of the beautiful poet,
'.danccd to Il finish" Prof. fuckers
orchestra was Il great feature and p. J.
Monaghan, with his assistants, were
floor managers indeed. A fine supper
was served at the Hotel Judge and when
day broke all departed for their respec-
tive homes. 1t was a happy event.

Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree and entertainment
given at Miners Union Hall Christmas
Eve was Il grand success. Almost every
child i'll town was there and together
with the older folks the house was pack
ed. Miss Clara Corbin showed consider
able ability in her procedure at training
the children and their declamations and
dialogues were all well rendered. A
few of the children sang beautiful songs
and the music by older ones was such
only as our own home talent is able to
prepare. The trees were loaded with
candies, fruits and nuts Which were dis
tributed first to the children and then to
all present, nobody going away untrcat-
ed. There were many fine presents for
old and young left by friends, and
every body left the house bcspeaking
the general enjoyment. 1t was the first
tree of the kind in Neihart but the COM
mittee deserve special credit for the
mastery arrangement of every feature.

They4Tried to Burn.

A fire broke out in the roof of the

while a high wind was raging. 1t
spread very rapidly but was checked
after doing considerable damage. The
damage is estimated at 5000, partially
covered by insurance. John A. Wilson
has his residence ovcr this saloon and it
seemed for ~ time that everything in the
building would be destroyed. The
citizens worked faithfully to cxtinguish
the fire.
a small scare was given by an alarm
of fire in the Neihart Hotel on Tuesday
evening but the little start the blaze got
made it easy to check. In both cases
the cause was unknown.

THE Granite Mining Company, Of
this camp, is organized the most
sensibly perhaps of all regarding
the sale of individual stock. A
clause in the constitution of this
company is such that incorporators
are not to have their individual stock
delivered to them until the treasury
stock is off the market. This pre-
vents gifts and sales by individuals
at less than the price of treasury
