p SHORT CAMPAIGN.
Senator Foster Gives some Practical Sug-
Eostions and Tells what i, Planned.

d. j. Foster, esq, republican nominee
far State senator and member of the execu-
tive committee Of the state league of repub-
lican clubs and, also, member of the city
committee, was seen Tuesday aby "a repre-
sentative OF the FREE PKLss and asked his
opinion as to the li!nd OF campaign that
would roll up the largest majority for tho
republican candidates this TALL. Mr.. Foster
said:
"After the great rally, which will be
held about August 10, believe that we
should have rally in every town in the
county, and l am Informed that this is the
plan. They will be held under the auspices
case there is no club, one will be organized
on tho occasion of the rally. Good
speakers will be furnished for these meetings
With this and with the special care which
should be taken in getting instructions re-
gardng the ballot law, there will be no
trouble in polling full vote. In addition
to this, there should be two county rallies
III this city. Senator Proctor says that he
will got Senator Woicott Of Colorado here,
who, he says. is one of the brightest men in
the Senate, aDd he also believes that Sena-
tor Frye OF Maine would consent to address
the republicans hero, although he will be
engaged in his own campaign in Maine,
These distinguished statesmen would be
greetel by large audience at any time.
The only thing necessary to get out the
full vote is organization. The sentiment of
republicans is all right. A short aggressive
campaign OF four weeks is the best in my
idea, and / thing we can get ou. a larger
vote than we could by having a longer one.

Those Mt Barre and Montpelier Reject
the Glanufacturers' Proposition.
BARRE, July 49, AT the meeting of the
Granite Cutters union last night It was
voted almost unanimously not to accept the
proposition from the New England Manu-
facturers' association. In fact, several
members have stated that just three men,
position.
A proposition was prepared to present to
the manufacturers, in substance, as follows:
1--WE agree to sign the bill Of prices sent on
January 20 to the Barro manufacturers for
a term OF three years from May /, 1892,
and If either party desires to make q change,
four months notice is to be given before
May /, 1885, if no change is desired it shall
run two years longer, and after that II no
further change is wanted it shall run along
continuously from May to May. IL any
differences arise that cannot be amicably
settled between the two parties themselves,
they shall be lett to a board of arbitration
comprising sevon men, three from tho union,
three from the manufacturers, aud tho six
to choose the seventh inan. We agree not
to strike or suspend work, and the manu-
facturers' agree not to lock out or suspend
business ~
Some of the individual manufacturers
say that they will pay no attention TO this
proposition from the union, aud that they
may not again recognize them as union,
but treat with them as individuals. Tho
Montpelier cutters also voted to reject the
proposition.

time has been considered in Congress and 1t
has suffered defeat in every case previous
TO tbis and is destined to the same fate now
because the Southern democrats are not
strong enough to pass it, and the Northern
democrats are ashamed to pass it. 1t has
completely blocked all private legislation
for the last five months, but is now ON the
speakers table where it was laid by vote
OF two majority on motion CT Gen. Grout
who has been one OF its most active
opponeuts and who ct different times has
spoken against it and at one time made
quite a strong argumeu. which sadly Grip
pied the measure 1t is safe to say that tho
bill cannot pass this Congress, and it is not
likely that the friends OF the measure can
get it off the speakers table either, as they
now seem to realize that the opposition is
headed by such men as Gen. Grout, Judge
Taylor of Ohio Gen. Ovens of Ohio, DR..
Atkinson of Pennsylvania, and other lead
ing republicans; besides, Mr.. Bynum and
other prominent Northern democrats are too
strong for them. On the last private bill
day the friends Of the measure resorted to
iilibustcring which shows that they consider
it a lost cause, and this is eminently proper
considering the fact that it is an unworthy
claim OF long standing, and is pure and
simple rebel claim.
1t is, nevertheless, to be very much re-
GREETED that this measure has consumed
about oil the time which the long session
could allot to private legislation and moth
ing has been accomplished by its repeated
consideration. Tnere has been, neverthe-
less q decided variety of opinion on the
measure, and it will be remen bered that
while Mr. Grout did so much to defeat the
measure it was earnestly espousod and Wig
orously advocated by MIR. Powers.

GOV. PATTIsON AT HOMESTEAD.


His Primary Object said to be the In
spoction Of tho Troops.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 19.--Gov. Patti
son and staff arrived here to-day and were
scorted from the train to Gen. Snowdens
headquarters by several hundred cavalry
men. Gov. Pattison took the shortest cut
from the train to the camp and thus did not
appear at tho usual station at Homestead.
In this way the first intination the strikers
and their families had of his presence was
the firing Of artillery, supposed by many to
mean that another riot had broken out and
that another dey of bloodshed had already
begun.
Gov. Pattison's primary purpose in COM
ing is to inspect the State troops. The
probability of the governor attempting to
take hand at arbitration between the
Carnegie company and the strikers was
broached, but the STAG officers who had ac-
companied him on the train from Harris
burg did not express any confidence that
peace overtures would be iuaugurated
through any channels very soon, il at all.
The same topic was broached at the Anal
gamated headquarters Immediately after
tho governors arrival, but no strong belief
was heard that anything encouraging would
result, however much it might be hoped for.
