A question which is beginning to ag-
tate the Democratic mind seriously is
whether Mr.. Cleveland will be a candidate
for third election to the presidency.
Upon this point the most significant eX-
preston so far has come from eX-Secretary
William c. Whitney, one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands most ardent friends and supporters,
and himself one of the three or four prom
iment Democrats most likely to be chosen
to head the party ticket next year. In an
interview in the New York World Mr..
Whitney says that he is not candidate
for the presidential nomination. To the
suggestion that no man had ever refused
nomination rendered by national conven-
ton he replied, very shrewdly, that no
man was ever nominated against his will.
But the important part OF the interview is
in what Mr. Whitney said about President
Cleveland and third term:
"As for the third term | can only say
this: If you went among the Demo
Gratis of the country and could ask every
actual Democratic voter whom he really
preferred as president, wholly apart from
any considerations of the feasibility or
propriety of third term, think that
majority of them would tell you that they
preferred Mr. Cleveland to any other man
as president | cannot conceive that any
thing except, perhaps, practically unani-
nous call would induce him again to be a
candidate, although in my judgment, he
is more popular today than he ever was
BY many this is construed to mean that
Mr., Cleveland is in the race for a third
term, and that even the most conservative
element of his party will accept his candi-
dacy as the only one which affords hope of
success. But, leaving ont all other consid-
erations, precedent and prejudice against
a third term would constitute a handicap
which hardly seems likely to be accepted.

The EnII Elections.

Elections in which governors or other
state officers will be chosen are to be held
in eleven states, a quarter of the whole
number, the coming fall. These are Iowa.
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Be
sides these Utah will abandon the terrific
year, choosing full set of officers. In
some of these, and in few other states,
legislatures will be elected which will
choose United States senators.
The most interesting of all the contests
are those which are to take place in Ken
lucky, New Jersey, New York and Ohio.
All of these except New Y York elect govern
ors as well as other officials. New York
chooses minor state officers, while all elect
all or part of their legislatures. The legis-
lature to be elected in Kentucky will choose
Senator Blackburn's successor, that in
Ohio will elect Senator Brice's, and part of
the one to be chosen in New York will
hold over and elect a successor to Senator
Hill, whose term expires in 1897. The
interest in Kentucky is on account of the
chances which the Republicans have of
carrying the governorship and the legisla-
ture, and of thus securing a senator. Their
prospects are much improved by the fight
in the Democracy on the silver question,
which is certain to rage throughout the
whole canvass, and which is likely to de-
crease the Democratic and increase the Re
publican vote.
There is doubt as to the result in New
Jersey; and even in New York, despite the
tremendous majority rolled up for Morton
last year, the outcome is somewhat uncer-
tain. Both states are normally Democratic,
although in presidential elections New
York has been dividing her favors equally
between Republicans and Democrats for a
quarter of a century past. 1t must be re-
membered that all the votes cast for Re-
publican candidates in these two states
last year were not straight Republican

tract. As to the general statement the
Herald might as well 'retract' the multi
plcation table"
"Gov. Woodbury., on taking possession
of the Van Ness House, eliminated the bar
on the very first day; and no liquor has
been sold there from that day to this says
the Burlington News. "Gov. Woodbury.
took this step as matter of principle, and
for conscience sake, at a very large pecu-
mary sacrifice. 1t is estimated that the
net profits of bar at the Van Ness House
would average $1,000 year, or so, 900 for
the II years that he has owned it. In
making this great pecunary sacrifice Gov.
Woodbury. has asked no credit or praise;
he simply could not, ,iconscientiously, sell
liquor"
What Gov. Woodbury. Says.
"If it were entirely a state affair, and
confined within the limits of Vermont"
said Gov. Woodbury. to a News reporter,
81 might be inclined to let the Rutland
Herald libel pass. Many-perhaps a ma
jority-of the people of Vermont are sufii-
ciently familiar with the actual facts of the
case to do me justice. If l were a private
citizen, too, would be inclined to pay less
attention to the attack which has been
made upon me.
"But the people of Vermont have done
me the honor to choose me for their gov
ernor, and, throwing all personal considera-
tions aside, it is derogatory to the guber-
material dignity to pass by in silence such
libel as that the Herald has perpetrated.
As the chief executive, owe something to
the people of Vermont. And the Herald
libel is being reprinted in the papers
throughout the country and is being read
and believed by countless thousands of the
people of America, to the detriment of the
fair name of our state. Really, l could
take no other course, in justice to myself,
to the gubernatorial Office, and to the peo-
pie of Vermont, than institute this suit for
libel"
Lawyers in the Case.
Gov. Woodbury's attorneys are D. j.
Foster of Burlington and eX-Gov. Dilling-
ham of Waterbury.

votes and cannot be counted on for the Re-
publican tickets this year. In both states,
however, the chances appear to be with
the Republicans. The Republicans are
tolerably sure to carry Ohio for the govern
orship by good-sized majority, and they
will probably secure majority of the leg
islature, also, giving that party both United
States senators once more. Foraker's can
didacy for the Senate may cost the Repub-
licans some votes, but hardly enough to
make the Legislature Democratic.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1895.

Col. w. c. =. Breckenridge of Kentucky
publishes the announcement that he is out
of politics and will never again accept or
apply for public Office The announce
ment seems rather unnecessary when it is
remembered that it is only year ago that
the brilliant Kentuckian was trying to com
pei the people of his district to reGlect him
to Congress, and outraged public senti-
ment and public decency rose up and de-
featcd him. Col Breckinridge's punish
duct had not been so brazen after he had
discredited and disgraced himself and his
Office by the exposures connected with the
Madeline Pollard trial.
Since August came in there has been a
strong tendency to renew gold exports,
owing to the high rate of exchange which
gives a profit of $4,000 on every million
dollars sent across the water. The loss up
to Thursday amounted to $1,000 600. The
bond syndicate has, however, turned to-
tai of 100000 into the treasury vaults
since the exports began, and il is evidently
the Intention of the syndicate to maintain
the reserve at a point just above the $780,
100000 mark until its contract with the
government expires Oct. l. BY that time
it is believed that the movement of the
crops and the general course of trade will
stop the export movement and tarn the
tide in favor of this country.

LAWYERS in the Case.
NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
The Erection of Town Hall at Clare
mont stopped by an Injunction.

Inc GftCtiOh OI n lO"n HAL NlarGs
mont stopped by an Injunction.
Claremont voted recently to erect a new
town hall. Soon after bill in equity was
filed by Russell Jarvis, P. NJ. Rossiter and
Silas A. Sabine as petitioners, praying for
an injunction against the town and the duly
appointed building committee, restraining
them from erecting anything in the way
of an opera house with the public funds.
The matter of petition was brought be-
fore Judges Chase and Carpenter at Con-
cord Friday. Lawyers Holt OF Claremont
and Weston of Bellows Falls appeared for
the plaintiffs and Ira Colby and II. w.
Parker for the town. Burt Chellis, chair
man of the building committee, was also
present, being summoned by the petition
ers as a witness. The contention was that
the second story of the proposed building
was to be fitted up as an opera house, with
folding seats, inclined floor, stage, dressing
rooms, ETC., and was not intended for town
use at all. Messrs. Colby and Parker main
tanned that this was only incidental, the
main object of the building being for the
use of the town. A temporary injunction
was granted, subject to the filing of bonds
of $1,000 by the petitioners. The trial of
the case will take place in November. 1t

New Hampshire for guidance in this case,
and the New Hampshire statutes are diff
ferent from those of any other state on this
point.
Our New Hampshire neighbors may be
interested to know that such a question
was brought before the courts in Vermont,
when Barre voted for a new building, al
most exactly as Claremont has done. The
decision of the court was that when the
building is primarily for town purposes,
with the opera house as something Incl
dental, it may be erected legally.

From the Bradford Opinion

Ifrum the brauIurd Uplnlon,
The cause of this very annoying and dis
agreeable disease to a great many of our
people is the pollen from that very preva-
lent weed "Roman Wormwood" 1t will
soon send forth its inoculating dust and
then the "sneezes" will begin, and the
itching nostril and the bloodshot eye, the
coated tongue and the asthmatic breathing
will be realized to the fullest extent. The
main object of this short article is to ad-
wise everybody to have all the Roman
wormwood on their premises pulled up by
the roots and burned. This is important,
as new cases are developed every year from
this cause.

The meraId,s Reply.

The Herald occupied a column in COM
menting upon Gov. Woodbury's letter.
The gist of its reply avs in the following:
"Gov. Woodbury's letter sounds as if he
thought we had charged him with person
ally buying and selling and handling liquor.
We never intended to intimate anything of
the sort. We charged that his servants
had furnished liquor to the guests in their
rooms and on the public tables, and that
not once or twice but continually and year
after year. If Gov. Woodbury. will admit
the truth of that, as his letter indicates he
may, we have nothing more to say.
"As to retraction, the Herald made its
statements upon what seemed indisputable
evidence, but is ready to cheerfully and
promptly retract anything it said the mo-
ment Gov. Woodbury. or anybody else
shows us that it is untrue. Without new
light, however, we can find nothing to re-

George Noley of CIaremont Drowned.

George Noley, 21, well-known young
man of Claremont, and Henry Smith were
fishing in Cold pond Saturday night, when
they attempted to change positions, and
the boat was overturned in eight feet of
water. Both grasped the boat Smith
could not swim, but Noley was an expert
swimmer, and he told Smith that he would
go ashore to get help. He had taken only
few strokes, when he threw up his hands
and sank. Smith was soon rescued. A
large crowd gathered at the pond during the
night, but Noley's body was not recovered
until Sunday morning. The position of
the body indicated that he had been seized
with cramps.
