The people of this section are as
sured of two excellent speeches at the
republican rally at Music Hall to-
night. Senator Morrill,, whom Yer
monters all honor, will be one of the
speakers; and Col. Albert Clarke,
formerly prominent in Vermont
journalism, and now secretary of the

enliven the occasion with music.
Let republicans and all other voters
come out to hear the speeches at this
rally, which will probably be the
last one held here before election day

LOCAL POLITICS.

The Situation LocaIIy-How to Vote
Under the New System.-Miuor Points.
The interest in the coming election
is more intense than ever before for
years on account of the representa-
tivecoutest. 1t is believed that 1000
votes will be cast here next Tuesday,
and perhaps more than that. St.
Johnsbury's average vote is 800.
While this is a strong republican
town and will give Col. Fuller big
majority for governor, the contest
for representative will not be waged
on party lines.
The motive of the opposition to
the republican candidate is not
a personal one. The movement is
essentially young mems movement
and associated with them are large
number of the older republican voters
who are just as good republicans as
any in St. Johnsbury. They realize
that young man has had no chance
for political preferment in this town
since the war, and they see no prob
ability OF any advancement as long
as caucus nominees are chosen a
month before the caucus in lawyers
offices. The people seem to meet at
town and county caucuses simply to
endorse the slate that a coterie of
politicians have put up. A large
number of our republican voters be-
lieve that this is a good time to
smash the slate
The men who will vote for the
citizens candidate next Tuesday
have no desire to smash the repub-
lean party. Their hopes and their
synpathies are largely with that
party and will be in the future. They
will vote the straight republican
ticket from governor down to high
bailif. The representative contest
will not affect single vote upon the
state or county ticket.
1t is evident that either the repub
lica;n or citizens nominee will be elect
ed. What political objection is there
to either? What political question:
can arise in the legislature? Onl,
two: the election of a United State:
senator and the prohibitory law
On these two questions it is wei
understood that both candida te:
would vote alike. Currency anC
tariff questions are settled in Wash
ington and cannot be legislated upol
at Montpelier. On business, edu
cational and general public question
the legislature is not divided OF
party lines. This being true the sup
porters of the citizens candidate fai
to see why their nominee is not a
worthy of support from all partie
as either of the other two.
The men who are in this movemen
are fighting for a principle whicl
transcends all party lines, and whicl
like Banquo's ghost will not down.
They have everything to gain an
nothing to lose. The question
whether young men are ever to b
recognized or whether they mus
forever submit to the dicta ton of
few self-constituted rulers. Th
people will be on hand next Tuesda
and will settle this question.
HOW TO VOTE.
1t is easy enough when you knov
how, and everybody can know hoy
if he wants to. AS an illustratio

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. AT 2 o'clock a. m.
fire was discovered in the all night res
taurant under the Waverly Hotel, 2S2

The two who were suffocated were not

The fact that Mr.. Erwin has not been

their sole business at this time.
