The fight will be made not on the char
acter of the candidates, but on the pub
lie policies which they represent. In
other words, it will be an unusually clean
campaign, and the pivot on which the
controversy will swing will be certain
questions of federal economy. This is a
matter for general congratulation. The
democrats have chosen to take unneces-
sary risks with the owner ofGray Gables

TUESDAYS FLOOD.
The Damage in Burke.

The extent of the flood in Burke is
thus set forth by our correspondent :
Four trains were bloodhound at the
West Burke depot on Tuesday. The
bridges are all gone between Sutton
hollow and the Lyndon line; all
bridges in Burke, north of the
Hollow, are also reported gone, and
one near the Orcutt place between
in Newark were taken out, and a
place on the old road from here to
Sutton was quilted to a depth of
several feet and for a considerable
width About two rods of new road
was also carried away 1t is estim-
ated that it will cost Burke $4,000 to
repair its roads.
At Sutton.
Our Sutton correspondent writes
Monday night was the rainiest night
known here since the fall of 1869.
Bridges are gone in several places,
and the roads are very badly wash
ed and quilted, especially is this so
where the roads have been recently
repaired and on the steep hills. 1t
will cost the town a good many
hundred dollars to make the repairs.
On the Missisquoi River.
The floods have done a great
amount of damage to the numbering
interests along the Missisquoi river,
and it will take some time for those
most concerned to recover from the
blow At Richford the river was FIVE
feet higher than it has ever been be-
fore, and booms were broken at
points all along the stream to Swan
ton, releasing thousands of logs and
hurrying them down towards and
into Lake Champaign. An effort was
made to save some of the logs by
constructing new booms in the vicini-
ty of Swanton, but comparatively
few were saved, and the resultant
loss will eat a good ways into the
profits of this years business.
At North Troy a large boom of
logs belonging to c. S. Skinner broke
and was carried through to Canada,
from whence it would be impossible
to bring them back without paying
heavy duty.

Apropos of the coming muster at
Montpelier in August it is said that,
by way of prepare ton for the Worlds
fair trip, sit is designed to make the
drills and exercises incident to camp
life very thorough and exhaustive.
The testimony of regular army
officers who have visited Vermont
muster grounds of late years rather
tends to show that our militia know
comparatively little about Thorough
and exhaustive" drills and exercises,
in the strict military sense of the
term; and if that sort of programme
is carried out at Montpelier it will
inure greatly to the advantage of the
regiment.

The recent democratic national
convention did at least one thing
which the country as a whole will
appreciate. 1t sat down upon David
B. Hill with an emphasis which
ought to ensure for that gentleman
a quiet political career for some time
to come. The country has very little
use for politicians of the Hill stamp,
and his nomination to the presiden-
cy would have been a lamentable
event-for his party.

The St. Adams Messenger is quot
ed by an exchange as saying that the
democratic party should be neither
despised nor abhorred-that it con-
tains men Of clear intellect and sound
sense, as loyal to the nation as their
opponents" Surely change has
come over the spirit of the Messen-
gers dreams. Col Childs' immedi
ate predecessor in the edit orial chair
could see no virtue in any person or
thing connected with the democratic
party so called, and lost no oppor-
tunity to write accordingly. That
sort of journalism belonged to the
dark ages, and the Messengers pres
ent attitude towards ''our friends
the enemy" is the more honorable.
