been appropriately decorated with National
flags and cut flowers which added greatly to
the appearance. Mr.. Lowering took for his
text, Psalms 60 a. '.Thou hast given banner
TO them that fear thee. that it may be display

ng the guards he spoke in highest praise of
he work of VermOnt's soldiers in the late civ
! war and continued most ffatteringly on the
courage which they showed. After the last
prayer the congregation were pleasantly sur
orised by solo, 1.-THE Better Land" by Mrs
Nary Howe LAWN and the playing of Lucian
Howe on the organ completed the beautiful
ervice.
"A week ago town representative matters
seemed to be all at sea, but the situation is al
'eady taking shape among the Republicans
With two candidates in the field and a pres
ure in progress that is likely to bring in an
,ther for the Republican caucus nomination
leXt week land whatever the result a creditabe
nomination. The two recognized candidates
re l.. +. Adams and o. II. Ware, and the
bird one who will not take the position of an
ctive one, but for whom there is strong call
mong some of lie slrewdest party mana
ers is the former representatives,. L.. Martin.
DR.. Adams is certainly good representative
f our business interests, and keen. bright and
apable, with wide knowledge of men and
fairs. Mr.. Ware is "A farmer of considerably
1ore than average ability, and prominent in
he Grange. Mr.. Martins nomination for a
econd term would be a compliment that has
ever been accorded to anybody except Col.
locker since the biennial system was adopt
Il and is one which he does not feel like ask
~ but which wouldnaturally be gratifying if
ccOrded. 1t is beyond question that with his
ing experience, his familiarity with parlia-
lentary law, beyond that of any other man
the state, his identification as
its creator in its present
lape with our corporation tax system
Is large general ability and knowledge of
lblic affairs and his record of usefulness in |
le last legislature, he is the best equipped for
e position of any man the Republicans have
nong them. And this is a year when with
generally weak and inexperienced senate |
ere will be particular need of able men to
tide and mould legislation in the house.
'veral towns are moving TO send such, among
HON Mr.. Martin would be the leader unless
deed the Democrats can defeat him. They
course do not claim to have his equal in
ese respects but they have some pretty good
aterial and such as they can afford to stand
solid line with, even if the Republicans
)mnate Martin. The Democratic discussion
ntres thus far about six different.names, first
course, w. II. Childs who would have a
'ry good chance of being elected if he could

d. &. a. Miles, a man of not only native
lity but of a general culture probably above

It few years has taken a good deal of inter-
