Letter from Senator Proctor.

The following letter was written by
Senator Proctor to the president of the
Proctor Republican Club of Essex
Junction:
Dear Sir:-There is every reason why
Vermont should at least maintain her record
as high as in the past. Our vote ON the
first Tuesday of September is practically
the expression of the choice of Vermont as
between the Harrison and Cleveland adj
ministrations. 1t will be heralded az such
throughout the country. Our state ticket
will be elected anyway by a large majority
1t makes little difference, so far as any
state issue or candidate is concerned,
whether that majority is 800 more or less
than usual, but it makes great difference
in its influence on the general result. II
our majority is reduced it will be charged
to change of sentiment or lack of faith in
the republican cause. The charge will
not be true, but nevertheless we cannot
dodge the issue or avoid the effect Of it..
We cs.n punish ourselves and our cause by
indi1 erence and lack Of effort, but we can
not pay off any grudge or right any wrong,

Montpelier Republican Caucus.

The republican caucus at Capital hall,
Thursday evening, was attended by some
200 voters. Hiram A, Huse was chosen
chairman and w. A. Lord secretary. Mr..
Lord moved that all persons who propose
to vote the full republican ticket in the
coming election shall be entitled to vote in
the caucus, and the motion was adopted.
For the purpose of disclosing the prefer
ences of the voters there present, a motion
was made that an informal ballot for town
representative be taken, and the caucus so
ordered. The result of the informal ballot
was as follows: Whole number of votes,
179; necessary to a choice, 80. o. ID. Clark
had 90, George w. Wing 81, scattering "a.
A motion was made that the caucus pro-
coed to vote formally for a candidate for
town representative to be supported by the
republicans at the election of September 6.
The motion prevailed. The ballot showed
the following result; Whole number of
votes 1876; necessary to a choice IS. D. ID.
Clark had 105, g. w. Wing 50. scattering
3. The chairman then proclaimed o. ID,
Clark to be the regularly chosen nominee
of the republicans of Montpelier for the
office of town representative in the next
state election. A. q. Brown thereupon
gave notice that another nomination for
the office of representative would be filed
in the manner prescribed by the new cleo
ton law. A committee of conference with
a committee from the democratic caucus re-
ported the following persons for justices of
the peace, and they were nominated;
George W. Wing :, Lynn b. Brooks, P. H.
Hinckley, John III. Senter, Peter Badord,
John Mercy, j. II. Lucia, NJ. e. Smile, w.
A. Lord, I. j. Boynton, Thomas Marvin
and ii. A. Huse.

real or fancied in that way. The issue on
which we vote, September 6, is plain and
simple: Do we believe in the principles
and administration Of the republican party
and desire the reelection of President Har-
rison, or do we prefer return of the de-
mocracy to power2 As we answer this, so
we go on the record All other issues are
unimportant and not worthy of considera-
ton in comparison Let me express in adj
vance my confidence that your club will see
to it that every republican voter in your
town comes to the polls and that, in the
meantime, all proper means are used to
convert those who enlisted under the
wrong flag and to strengthen any that may be
weak and wavering in our own ranks. My
appreciation of the compliment you pay me
will be greatly enhanced when the effect of
your work is made manifest by the vote of
your town and vicinity. If it is possible
for me to aid you in any way I shall be
glad to do so. Again thanking the club
and yourself L remain, Very truly yours,

A Last Appeal.

We ask every voter to read carefully
and thoughtfully the words of Senator
Proctor at the head of the editorial
page of this paper. The importance of
the election in Vermont on Tuesday
next, in its bearing upon vital national
interests, cannot be more impressively
stated. Read the extract in another
column from President Harrison's elo-
quent address at Malone. Consider
what a great, powerful, prosperous and
happy country this has become under
the sway of the republican policy and
the administration of republican prin-
cipes. This Nation is the aggregation
of states. 1t is the national policy that
dominates; it is the national admins
ton that primarily affects the welfare
of the states. State policies, state adj
ministrations are necessarily second
airy. The democracy would per-
suade the people of Vermont that
they will vote in November on these
questions of primary importance to
the state; that the issues of the election
on Tuesday next are secondary and of
minor importance. Senator Proctor,
in the words we have reproduced, tells
the voters of Vermont that the Septem-
Der election, that the majority on Tues
day next for Fuller and Stranahan, is
the guidon on which the mashaling
forces of the great army of republicans
all over this Union are fixing their
gaze. Raise your banner high, re-
publicans of Vermont, up to its his
toric hight, and maintain its amplest
dimensions. Your prestige is at stake.
1t must not be said that in the final
uaItlo iol SlOaI hdtlohol lhuuo1lldi
system that has produced results so
beneficent as are seen all over this
Union, Vermont republicans faltered
and jeopardzed the final triumph of
national republican principles. That
is not like Vermont. To the polls,
then, on Tuesday, rain or shine.
Make every other object, of pleasure or
profit, secondary to the one great pur-
pose to help seal the triumph of repub-
licanism in November, in the nation at
large, by recording your vote for
Fuller and Stranahan.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-31
Stand by the Nominations.

Stand by the nominations fairly and
openly made. Colonel Fuller was
nominated with unanimity rarely
secured in a contest in which sharp
rivalries exist. What earthly reason is
there why any republican should refuse
to d" mark a cross(x)" to the right of
his name on the ballots which will be
delivered to the voters on election day?
Read the sketch of his career in another
column. 1t is grand thing to do to
vote for men who are so cOnspicuously
the product of free institutions as are
both Colonel Fuller and Colonel Stran-
ahan. If there is a conspiracy in
Washington county to defeat Sheriff
Howe, or to reduce his majority,
because he has enforced laws he
was sworn to enforce - laws in
making which he had no part
every loyal, self-respecting republican
freeman should put upon it the seal
of his righteous condemnation next
Tuesday by making cross (X) to the
right" of his name on the official bal
lots. If malice or pique or revenge is
aiming its shaft at Sheriff Howe, the
freemen of Washington county will
interpose. Mr.. Howe will be elected
despite all that rum and democracy may
do to accomplish his defeat. Here and
there are heard rumors of petty oppo-
sition to the regularly chosen candi-
dates for other offices. Every town in
Washington county should be repre-
sented in the next legislature-and rep
resented by REPUBLICAN with a big
R; and this result can be accomplished
if republicans will sink all petty per-
sonal matters and WELD the strength
that comes from unity and concord,
So, republicans of Washington county,
unite your forces against the common
enemy and make the capital county
the banner county of the state.

A National Matter !

81 wish to impress upon you the
importance of the coming September
election. 1t is not a state matter,
but a national one. The vote cast
for the state ticket next month is
really your vote for president, and the
expression of your choice between the
principles of the two great parties.
The main question cannot be covered
up by any state issues. IF the re-
publican party maintains its average
majority it will be hailed as a repub-
lican victory. If the democrats re-
duce that majority it will be heralded
far and wide as an omen of demo-
cratic success in the nation. You
are individually responsible for full
vote for Fuller and Stranahan, and |
believe you will do your duty and see
to it that Vermont rolls up hand
some majority in September that will
presage the election of Harrison and
Reid in November. SENATOR Proctor
at Rutland.

at S2,052,345; in 1891 these imports
amounted to S1,073 $40. In 1889 the
imports Of eggs reached total valua-
ton of S2,071, GA, while in 1891 they
we're valued at S533,497. In 1889 the
imports of hay had valuation of
81, 1S3, 1872, while in 1891 they were
valued at Sl51 1922. These decreases
were direct benefits to American farm
ers, and the farmers of Vermont have
had their share of the additional
market.
THE proclamation of President Har-
rison announcing retaliatory toll on
Canadian freight passing through st.
Mary's Falls canal was the act of man
who thoroughly appreciates the respon-
sibiity of his Office and does not hest
tate to face his duty. The Canadian
government has been violating the
treaty of Washington in the belief that
the government of this country was too
good-natured or too Indifferent to take
notice of the imposition. 1t has been
rudely awakened from its fond dream,
and Canada is stirred up from one end
to the other. The people of the United
States should feel grain of pride in
having a chief executive who has been
equal to the emergency. The act was
characteristic of President Harrison.

IT seems they have been holding
schools in Maine for the purpose of
clearly understanding the new ballot law,
which is similar to Vermont's new law.
Apropos of this the Philadelphia Press
says: IF the republicans in Vermont
will follow the same method during the
few remaining days of the campaign they
will save themselves from a great deal
of trouble on election day, and probably
prevent marked diminution in their
majority. 1t is never wise to leave
such things to chance" The sugges-
ton is all right, and it would be an ex-
cellent plan if there could be school
in every town in the state sometime be-
fore September 6. But we do not ap-
prehend that there will be very great
diminution of the total vote on account
of the new law. If there is, the people
of this state are easily discouraged. AS
far as the practical work of individual
voting is concerned there is no diff
Guilty whatever. Every man who can
read must know for whom he wishes to
vote for each Office, and to indicate his
choice all he has to do is to put cross
after that name. There has been a
great deal of talk about this law which
has tended to mystify people, but we
venture to say that when the voters
get the ballots in their hands they will
see at glance how to use them.

ACCORDING to the latest reports from
American consuls, the rollers in the
iron mills of Great Britain receive S17
per week; at Homestead the same class
of workers get $500 per day. The
shearmen in Great Britain get from IS
to $40 per week; at Homestead the
minimum is from S4 to Sc per day. A
protective policy has made possible the
high wages paid here. What benefits
the manufacturing industry also bene-
fits the agricultural interest by giving
the latter larger market. The farm
ers of the country are vitality interested
in the continuance of the protective
tariff, and no republican farmer of
Vermont can afford to stay at home
from the polls on September 6.

school district in your town? Do you
know every voter that will, or is likely
to, vote the republican state ticket?
Is the name of every such voter on the
checklist? Are you making arrange
ments to bring to the polls those who
will need conveyanceP If not, make
sure of all these things before Monday
night of September 8. Be sure that
every republican vote is polled before

THE report for the last fiscal year of
Ira Aver, special agent of the treasury
department on tin and terne plate,
has just been made public. 1t states
that the total production of tin and
terne plate proper during the year was
13,646,719 pounds. In addition to this
1925 2S pounds of American sheet
iron and steel were timed or terne
coated, thus becoming tin or terne plate
within the meaning of the law. The
total production for the year will there
fore be not far short of 20,000,000
pounds. During the first quarter of
the year five firms were engaged in the
business; during the second, eleven
firms; during the third, twenty firms,
and during the fourth, twenty-six
firms. If you ask the cause of this
wonderful expansion of new indus
try, know of truth that it was nothing
more nor less than the Mckinley pro-
tective law 1t is this law which the
democratic party has pronounced to be
unconstitutional.

A GOOD specimen of the difference
between the promises and practice of
the democratic party is the following:
The platform adopted at Chicago last
June by that party says: We pledge
the democratic party, if it be intrusted
with power, to relentless opposition to
the republican policy of prodigate ex-
penditure which, in the short space of
two years, has squandered an enormous
surplus and emptied an overlooking
treasury after piling new burdens of
taxation upon the already overtaXed
labor of the country" The appropri-
atoms of the first session of the demo-
cratic congress, which adjourned little
more than month after this declaration
was made at Chicago, amounted to
S507 ,711,131.64, against appropriations
of 1898, 510.79 in the first session of
the republican congress which preceded

NERVOUS AND FAINT.
Are Women Slaves to Their

Women are great sufferers from nervousness,
weakness, nervous prostration and debility.
Thousands droop and languish in tho close, con-
fined shops, factories or Offices, and hundreds Of
thousands wear out their nerve power in house
hold cares and work. This is especially true
during the spring months, when Spring Debility
makes them much worse.
1t is fact also that no disease In the world
has ever left such train of invalids in its track
-invalids who suffer from both nervous and
physical weakness and prostration.
What wonder that they become worn out 10

hmm nse Funeral in Birminghan-
The Late Lyman Losmor.
BIRMINGHAM, March 20.-The funeral of
the late Lyman Loomer occurred this
afternoon at his late residence, Rev. G. w.
Parks officiating. 1t was q very largely at
tended funeral, as the deceased was one of
Birmingham's most highly respected citi-
zens.
Mr.. Loomer was eighty-two years of age
and has lived in Birmingham over sixty
years. He was at one time selec.man OF
the town of Derby, and has also served in
the capacity of warden of the borough of
Birmingham. Three sons and three daugh-
ters survive him. His wife died in 1890.
