Senator Daniels Letter,
n ne Fdilor Of de Dispqich :


conversed to-day with large number
of gentlemen who had read Senator John
W Daniels letter, published in yesterdays
(Snnday's) DISPATCH, in defence of Senator
Hill. and everybody seemed pleased with
it. Quite a number OF gentlemen OF the
highest standing for respectability end In
tellICence admitted to me that they mad
entertained strong preIudices against
Senator Hill. but they said that the letter
of Senator Daniel had entirely removed
them. One of the Oldest and best-known
merchants i'll this city SAID that: before
reading Daniels letter would have voted
for Hill, If nominated by the Democratic
marty. but would have done so with great
reluctance. But having entire confidence
in any statement that John Daniel would
make of his own knowledge, 1 would vote
for him with pleasure" He dwelt partlc-
ularly upon his record with regard TO the
force bill. and said that he had entitled
himself to the gratitude OF the whole
southern people. -, Nh.
There are undoubtedly, Mr.. Editor, a
large number OF Democrats IN Virginia
whose minds have been poisoned against
Senator Hill by newspapers enlisted In the
interest of Mr. Cleveland, and who have
sought TO create prejudice against HIM.
The letter of Senator Daniel. with MS
we'll known reputation for honor and TAR
dealing. is most opportune one. IL Is
written in clear and forcible manner.
and cannot fail to convince every sincere
inauirer after the truth that Senator Hill
has been most unjustly and maliclousiy
yillified and abused by newspapers merely
for the purpose OF advancing tneir Chains
OF their fayorlte for the presidency.
Speaking of the attacks on Hill. Senator
Daniel saws: "Ihey originate from he.
publican sources. They are encouraged
m New York by boilers and others, who
would rule or ruin. They are repeated oy
those who are either infected by Repubii-
can publications or blinded by momentary
zeal for other candidates. They are 'aost
llngracious and uaqrdtefui t1hen taken up ty
southern men, What scorching repri-
mand .
spondent. IL. q. W." from Washington,
said In Sundays DISPATCH, referring 10
Hill: "He never lowers his flag to the ene-
nv. He makes no compromise with the
Republicans. lie asks them no favor,
grants them no quarter. He means pusi-
ness So he comes before the Democracy
with great State. redeemed in all the de-
partments of its government by his ability,
leadership, and couragel" What glow
Ing and Just tribute!
Clra service reform is one OF the watch
words of the boilers and Mugwumps, but
if that means the retention of Republicans
in Office to the exclusion Of honest. work
ing Democrats and true patriots, Senator
Hia has neuer been and necer rilI be a oiuil-ser-
uice rsfoyJaer. Mark that.
While am not prepared to say now that
Senator Hill ought TO receive the nomina-
ton at Chicago, do say with the utmost
confidence that be is Democrat OF the
genuine Jscksonian type, great organizer
gratitude and admiration of the Democ-
rscy Of the whole country.

The Truth About tho New York Charter
Elections.

buffalo Evening News Rep)l
Our gains are both important and time
lv. but the wild anxiety Of the Muewump
press TO make ont that there Is "a wide
spread revolt against Hill aud a repudia-
ton OF his methods and candidacy has
created q wholly erroneous impression that
there has been great political upheayal
in the State. and that this falls contest Is
already practically won. The fact Is that
there has been nothing of the kind, and
the foolish splutter Of that section
of the press which identifies Hill with
Antlenrlst cannot make II 50. We
have called attention to the fact
before that the Republicans have
simply been regalning their own. and as
q matter of fact they haven't got back yet
all that belongs TO them. 10 IS well known
that there was q Democratic cyclone IN the
spring OF 1891 and also IN the spring OF
1890. and il isn't after all such wonderful
thing that tho situation should again be-
come somewhat as il was before those
years. We have prepared little table
ourselves 20 show Just 10 what extent the
Rembhcans have made q real lnroad into
the Democratic strength. Last TALL fas-
sett was beaten by nearly $1,000; so II can
not be regarded as a good Republican
wear. yet the figures or the klower-tas-
Gctt contest are taken as basis OF COM
parison. As we do not know IN oil cases
how supervisors are appOrtlOned IN cities,
only those counties are considered which
have no cities within their borders; but
we have no doubt that similar results could
be shown from the others. The first two
columns give the number OF towns carried
respectively by the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in November, 1891, and the second
two columns the number carried by each
in 1892: that is, the number of supervisors
elected 10y each. The slight divergence IN

Thus we see that while the Republicans
carried 27g towns in these counties IN 1881,
when they were beaten by $4,000 IN the
State. they were only able this spring TO
carry 259 towns, while the Democrats IN
creased their total of ll6 towns last year
TO 1872 tins year. This doesn't look IKE
such tremendous Republican upheayal.
when you come TO study 1t, does it There
has been good deal of nonsense written
about these victories. The Republicans
have done admirably. but the Democratic
strength hasn't been materially interfered
with, and IL is just as well TO understand
that now as at any other time.

Fullers home organ was out last
week in over a column of fulsome
praise of the "grim warrior" This
is very pleasing, indeed, but it is q
matter of wonderment, to many, that
so many conspicuous points should
have been left out. For example NO
reference whatever is made to his war
record, not oven the HinsuaIe cam
paign is mentioned. Again no men,
ton is made of his establishing a
hand sewing machine factory in Brat
tleboro, and using, as has been alleg-
ed, somebody else's patent. Other
things in this line might be mentioned
but we forbear at present. Then a.
gain in the matter of illustration the
article is wofully deficient, the "uni-
form pitch" business being alone
used. How apt would have been a
few stanzas from the "Battle of
Keyes's Farm" illustrating his"excel-
lent ability" This, taken in connec-
ton with that big library, would have
been trump card and it is surprising
that the Phoenix should have over
looked it. However, all this may
come when the "time for active work
arrives"

The Rutland Herald in quoting
what the SITTER said last week in ref
erence to Windsor county sending a
solid delegation to the convention fol
Fletcher says:
This is no doubt of-hand judgment, but
a Windsor county man who ought to know
talked in similar way when he was in
Rutland the other day. 1t will not be
surprising, men and brethren, if the re-
publican convention this year is an inter
esting occasion.
The SITTER made the statement
from information in its possession
that it considered trustworthy. The
Herald should understand that there
is no call for Fuller among the people
anywhere, not even in his own county,
nor in his own town. His support in
Brattleboro, aside from his few heel
ers, who work for the pay that is n it,
is entirely negative, and cold and un-
feeling. This we know from personal
interviews with many prominent citi-
zens of that town.
The people are heartily sick of hav-
ing candidates forced upon them by
self-seekers and are casting about
them for man of acknowledged abil-
ty who is not forcing himself upon
them. In Henry A. Fletcher. they
find the man, cool and level-headed,
thoroughly acquainted with the affairs
of the state, and fully equipped for
its chief executive, vet in no sense a
candidate. Why should not the peo-
pie rally to the support of such a man
in preference to one who can by nc
possibility receive the nomination ex-
cept by free use of money! There
are no reasons, and the SITTER con-
fidently expects them to do it not on.

How thick is "A coat of paint? A

gallon of the Chiffon Paint contains 23l
cubic inches and covers 250 square feet
of surface, two coats. If the school
house is to be painted, we would like to
have an answer from some of the schol-
ars. The remarkable covering property
of the Chiffon Paint is worthy of consid-
eratiOn-it is an item of economy not to
be overlooked. The Chiffon is ''ready
mixed" paint, and we know that there
is prejudice among many against this
kind of paints. They think there is
something lacking to make them per-
feet paints. The Chiffon is made with
the purest and best linseed oil. combined
with turpentine and turpentine drier,
nothing wanting there. The hand and
eye may vary in the grinding and mix
ing of paint, but the machinery which
they use never makes mistake. The
Chiffon is better and more economical
paint than any that can be mixed by hand
in the old way. Don't be behind the
times you live in. Inquire about these
paints and get color hard.

out the state that as presiding officer

wolves upon the loyal Republicans of
Vermont to put forth their best man
for governor in order that every vot-
er may be brought out and such
majority rolled up in September as
would strike terror to the enemy and

agreed upon by these fellows two

you like him? Are you willing that
few political tricksters and self-seek-

governor? If you are not then let it
be war to the knife. Remember your
state convention caucuses attend
them and see that you send delegates
to the convention that can be trusted
to vote against Levi Fuller first, last
and all the time. In this way can
your work be made effective, and in
this way only.
