I'd like to recall that same vote II could,
And once again hear the ould shtame whis-

That called me to work when the times

State Politics.

The republican state committee, as
announced elsewhere in this issue, has
summoned the party by its delegates to
convene at Montpelier on Wednesday,
June 20, to select candidates for the
state executive offices. The officers to
be chosen are the governor, lieutenant
governor, treasurer, secretary of state
and auditor of accounts.
1t has not happened in many years,
if, indeed, it has occurred more than
once or twice since the organization of
the republican party of the state, that
the candidate for the governorship has
been selected without pre-conventon
canvass, always lively and sometimes
very strenuousy contested. OF the
latter kind, the famous contests of 1872,
1890 and 1892 are notable illustrations.
After the storms Of the two preceding
biennial terms, there comes in 1894
great calm. Only one name is heard in
connection with the first place on the
state ticket, and no other name has
been seriously considered. By general
assent, Colonel U. A. Woodbury. of
Burlington will be the republican can
didate for the office of governor. He
has no competitor before the people;
and if there shall be one before the
convention, his name or personality is
not now even a matter of languid spec
ulation.
Colonel Woodbury. was candidate
for the chief executive office in 1890.
He was then acknowledgement, and
his candidacy was stoutly opposed, not
because he was regarded less capable
and less worthy than his rival, but be-
cause his opponents objected to the
promotion of the acknowledgement
to the higher office. On that issue he
was defeated by a small majority after
one of the hottest political fights in the
history of the state. He bore his de-
feat manfully. He neither exhibited
nor cherished resentment against hi
opponents, and now, in 1894, it turns
out that he finds some of his staunches

The republican state committee held
a meeting in the parlors of the Van
Ness House at Burlington last Wednes-
day evening, with ten of the fourteen
members of the committee present.
Montpelier was unanimously selected
as the place for holding the state con-
vention, and Wednesday, June 20, was
the date fixed. The caucuses for choos-
ing delegates are to be held the Satur-
day preceding the date of the conven-
ton. The committee agreed, without
a dissenting vote, to invite George M.
Powers, Esq, of Morrisville to be
chairman of the convention, and Hon.
Kittridye Haskins of Braltleboro was
elected chairman of the committee on
resolutions. A republican of national
reputation was selected to address the
convention on the issues of the present
time, but it was decided not to make
his name public until his acceptance of
the invitation of the committee is re-
ceived.

THE state has at the experiment
station new herd of cattle, purchased
in Brookfield by Cassius Peck of the
board of control. Professor Rich sub
jected the COWS to the tuberculin test
before they were accepted by the state.
The result Of the experiment is a clean
bill of health for the entire herd. Three
of the COWS were taken from Mr.. Peck's
dairy. AS the cows were picked from
several diaries in town, the fact that
every animal was shown to be sound is
reassuring to the dairymen of Brook
field,

Mastering MalcOntents.

When Coxey's "army" began its
march on Washington the movement
was the object of ridicule. 1t was not
regarded at all seriously. The aggrega-
ton of men discontinued, demoralized
by idleness and attracted by the pros
pect of provender without work, or i'm
PEELED by the love of adventure, it was
not believed would long withstand the
hardships of the march and the ele-
ments of disintegration inherent in such
a loosely organized and undisciplined
body. But the "army" is in Maryland,
some hundreds strong, and is nearing
Washington. This is the "main army"
If this were the only source of appre-
hension, neither Washington nor the
country would feel great agitation. But
from various points in New England, in
the middle states, in the West and on
the distant Pacific slope, divisions of
the "army" are heading for Washing
ton to reinforce the commander-in-
chiefs petition 10 congress for work at
the public expense.
A reign of terror has existed for sew
eral days at Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Near the latter place "division " Of
the army under General" Kelly has
been encamped for several days, seek
ing means of transportation. Sympa-
thetic Knights of Labor seized a rail-
way train to place at the disposal of
General Kelly and his army, which the
general declined in a spirit of ODE
dience to law aud order. He could not
countenance violence. The railway
officials expressed their purpose to
wreck, at any risk of life to the knights
or industrials, any train taken by vio-
lence and started on its eastward
journey. General Kelly has at length
begun his march to the banks of the
Mississippi, expecting success will
crown his efforts TO secure transporta-
ton.
In other parts of the country similar
scenes are being enacted. A detach-
ment mustered in Boston on Sunday,
and, when it reached the common for
an oratorical demonstration before tax
ing up its line Of march for Washing
ton, crowd variously estimated at
from 10000 to 80 900 people had gath
cred. Tle army" and its leaders,
and the orators that were to fire the
hearts of the rank and file, were so
roughly handled that one by one the
soldiers emerged from the press and
rendezvoused at Dedham. Thence the
detachment began its march to the ma
tional capital.
Arrived at Washington, it is Coxey's
purpose to compel the senators and rep
resentatives, who are the servants of
the people-and Coxey and his follow
ers are the people, grant relief to
the nations unemployed millions. The
situation is seriously regarded at Wash
ington, and means TO avert disaster are
being discussed and planned. Thus
does the nation revel in peace, secu'
rity and happiness under the rule Of
! the democracy.

THE severest earthquakes in the last ten
years shook Thebes, Atalanta and other
cities of Greece, last Friday. Late dis
patches say that Thebes was almost de-
stroyed by the earthquake. A number of
houses of the town were damaged and most
of them ruined. Scores of families are
homeless. 1t is not known how many per-
sons were injured. AS far as known, no.
body was killed. Reports from Volo and
Lares say that both towns were shaken Sc
verely and much damage done. The vibra-
tons destroyed eight villages in the district
of ATLANTA. In that district alone forty
eight persons We're killed and several hum
dred injured. The monasteries of St. Mar
tinos and Proskyna were destroyed. The
pier at Pelli was rent and sunk. Large
boulders detached from the mountain of
Bragana fell upon shepherds huts, killing
all the inmates.

A MOTION was made in the house of COM
mons last Friday evening that the annuity
of $4,000 drawn by the Duke of Sake
Coburg- Gotha in his capacity of Duke of
Edinburgh be forthwith abolished. Henry
Labouchere, the radical leader, seconded
the motion. Lord Randolph Churchill at
tackled the motion. Sir William Harcourt,
chancellor of the exchequer, defended the
grant and appealed to the opposition for
support. Mr.. Balfour also opposed the mo-
ton. The motion was defeated by vote
of 29S to 81. The conservatives, liberal
unionists and the Irish, with the exception
of Florence O'Driscoll, supported the gov
eminent in the division Sir Charles Dixie
and Sir Wilfrid Lawson voted with the radi-
cal minority.

THOMAS f. BAYARD, United States am
bassador to Great Britain, spoke in London
last Friday evening at the dinner of the
Spectacle Makers Company. He said that
the message with which he was charged
upon leaving the United States was to grasp
the British hand with the honest friendship
of an ally. He hoped that if the American
and British hands should become separated
in the least degree at any time, owing to
mutual Misunderstanding, each nation
would be ready to step forward and renew
the grasp. In closing his address, Mr.. Bay
ard spoke of the " brave and noble quail
ties L" of the Irish in America.

THE report that Germany has made over

the statement that Germany has decided TO
claim a protectorate over those islands

FRESH YOUNG MEN,.

Down at cambridge, the home of Con-
gresham Russell, the young men have
formed campaign club for the purpose
of looking after that gentleman's inter-
ests in his canvass for denomination,
and instructing the democrats how to
vote.
Their first effort resulted in very
lengthy document which was, intended
to set forth Mr.. Russelps supposed
claims upon the people of the district,
but instead it marked its authors as lot
of very fresh young men who wanted to
do something but didn't know exactly
how to start at it.
This wonderful document has attracted
the attention Of a number of our con-
temporares, and, while their comments
have not been very complimentary, they
have been somewhat interesting. For
instance, the Early County News has this
t. say:
1.-THE Young mems central democratic
club of Decatur county, is out in
lengthy and ingenious address to the
people in which it shoulders the slather
inc club in behalf of Ben Russell, bella
bour; Coils. Walters and Query to its
hearts content and in idea says to them:
stand still, you impudent, inconsistent,
sneaking rascals till our Ben comes back
from congress. then, and not till then,
will it be fair and honorable for you to
open your impertinent mouths This
reminds us of niger who is 'skeered'
of his mule when he goes into the lot to
bride him. and hits him few 'whacks'
and then tells him to NO" -
And this from the Calhoun Courier
tells how the remarkable document was
received in that part of the district:
'The so called young mems General
democratic club of Decatur county is
flooding the second district with circu-
lar eulogizing Mr.. Russell to the skies
and ffinging mud at Messrs. Walters
and Query for daring to aspire to the
Seatin congress now occupied by Bright
Ben The circular Is a unique one in
its demands for fair play for Mr.. Rus
sell, it's fulsome praise of him and its
dirty filings at Judge Query because he
saw fit to accept position as attorney
for the Southwestern railroad. Some
SoIks evidently think it dishonor to
serve as counsel for railroad"
Mr.. Russell's young men are doing
good work for Judge Query, and we
shall enter a protest if he attempts TO
muzzle these nice young town boys who
have taken chan &c of his campaign.

WILL TEST TIE LAW.

The Georgia bankers are going to make
a test case of the constitutionalit of the
10 per cent tax on the certificates issued
in 1893 to move the cotton crop They
believe that the law is iniquitous, unjust
and unconstitutional, inasmuch as it
is prohibitory. Capt. John A. Davis,
of Albany, chairman of the executive
committee of the Bankers Association of
the state, and one of the soundest finan-
eiers in the south, will take steps in
behalf of the Bankers Association to get
ruling from the powers that be. Says
Capt. Davis:
81 am sure that we will take the mat
Ter to the courts and get decision by
the judiciary department of the govern
ment. 1t matter in which the bankers
of the south feel a deep interest. We
did not issue clearing house certificates
for the purpose Of enrichIng the banks.
1t did not bring single penny into our
pockets. We simply did it for the good
of the section, for the good of many
burdened industries of this region that
were suffering at that time, loaded with
UIle HITuSLlpS Iudt tLOS6 OuG VI Cu6 COu-
dition of bankruptcy towering over the
south. 1t was for the worthieSt of causes
that we issued the clearing house
certificates, and hold that it is the high
est sort of law that we ought not to be
taxed for having issued them.
''It was noticeable last year that when
times were so hard, when VIC couldn't
get a penny from the New York banks,
we decided, as last resort, to issue these
certificates. We did issue them in AL
bany and in other cities of this state, and
what was the result? Why, the very next
thing we heard from New York was that
we could get all the money we needed.
As soon as they found out that we could
get along without their assistance they
were perfectly willing to meet our needs,
and we got the help we wanted from
them by showing this mark Of independ-
ence. 1t was easy to make terms, don't
You see? The talk about there being no
money in the country vanished as soon
as the northern banks found that we
could get along without them. Now,
these same New York banks at that time
were issuing clearing houre certificates
for their daily settlements with each
other, and l fail to see why we should be
taxed and they allowed to go free"
