Congressman Grout and denomination.

congressman UIOut anu Ncz0OWlNdtlOU.
1t has been announced that Hon. Frank
Plumley of Mortified, Hon. L. M. Read
of Bellows Falls and Hon. J. L. Martin
of Brattleboro will contest the nomination
of congressman from the second district
with the present incumbent, Gen. w. w.
Grout. The convention meets at Mont
pelier June 16.
A dispatch from Bellows Falls says :
each candidate has canvassers out in
different sections of the district 1t is
understood that an agreement has been
made between Read and Martin that the
fight is to be made in their county only by
the one getting the most votes there, the
other to support the other strenuously," ;"
We know nothing about the agreement be-
tween Mr.. Read and Mr.. Martin, but state
on the best authority that Mr.. Reads at
titude now is what it always has been re-
garding public office. He will not stoop
to the practices of the political trickster to
get any position. If the people of the
second district choose to send him to con-
gress as their representative, he will ac-
cept the honor; and if this choice really ex-
lists Mr. Read believes it will be made
known without an undue amount of self
assertion on his part.
MIR. Reed has demonstrated to the people
of Vermont that he is one of the ablesi
men in the state, and if contest is to be
made against Gen. Grout and anyone sent
to congress in his stead, we certainly pre-
fer that Mr.. Read be the man.
Speaking generally OF a contest of thi.
nature, we believe that the people and moi
the delegates to a district convention
should name the man who is to represent
the district. If the people of the distric
generally know that Gen. Grout is tc
have opposition to a denomination ant
know who is to oppose him and know i
long enough before the convention to ex
press their preference through their dele
gates, no one can be justly criticised; bu
under no circumstances do we think tina
the delegates without knowing the pref
erences of their constituency should choos
the nominee for congress.
There is yet over a week before th
meeting Of the convention, time enough
perhaps, for the people of the district t
make up their minds as to whom they pre-
fer for their representative.

small space to answer some of the en-
quiries concerning the excursion to Old
Orchard Beach, Isles Of Shoals, and else
where starting July Sth. We have de-
cided on this trip for the reason that we
thought the majority wishing to take trip
this season would be as well suited to go
+, these places as elsewhere. Should this
excursion prove as enjoyable as the one to
Novia Scotia last year. next year another
can be made to Novia Scotia or ..Down the
Hudson" or as the British Empire Exposi-
ton is held at Montreal, that city, Quebec
and the White Mountains can probably be
visited at lower rates than it would be pos
sible to obtain this year. MANAGER.

DummerstOn For Stickney.

Dummerston, the first Windham county
town to hold caucus to elect delegates,
sends j. A. Miller and T. n. Reed both
strong Stickney men. These men are ex-
members of the legislature have served as
selectmen, listers, etc and can be de-
pended on to do good work for Mr.. Stick
ney. The Grout men, even if there were
any did not make peep. The first was
elected unanimously and the latter over
w. F. Walker, also a Stickney man, by a
vote OF sc to 10. This is fair specimen
of the sentiment of the Republicans of the
town. Dummerston has set the pace now
let the other towns follow.
Respectfully,

An Agrarian Movement.

From the Washington Post.
''There is a deeper meaning in this
Presidential fight than mere conflict
Of opinion over an economic question, %
said Mr.. Theodore Wilmot or Boston
at the Normandie.
''It is to a great degree battle of
classes, and men will be ranged &C.
cordingly. The bulk of Bryan's supp
porters will be poor men, the well-to-
do and will strive to elect his oppon.
ent. It is also in some measure an
percentage of the farmers are favor,
able to free silver. If there were no
party prejudices Bryan would get
80 per cent of the rural vote of the
Union. City people may not be-
lleve this but 1t is true. About two
thirds of the people of the United
States live on farms and in small vii
lagos. The aggregate rural vote will
down the vote af the big cities.
est was the aggrarian sentiment
behind Ben Tillman that enabled him
to beat the parrician Butler in South
Carolina, and to supersede the rule
of quality in that state with tie
regime of the plebian farmer. ALI
the citizens of the towns were
against Tillman, but he had the back.
ing of his fellow clodhoppers, and he
downed the old office-holding ring
that ALWAYS boasted of its pure bloods
To-day Bryan has the clodhopper
on his side; they have been reading
free silver literature so long that they
have become saturated with it, and
they can't be converted by gold argu-
ments between this and election day.
They are 'agin' the city chaps who
wear good clothes every day in the
week but who are ignorant of toll.
They see wealth centered in the large
towns, while they who produce every
thing get precious little, and seeing
all this they are going to strike out for
new deal. Bryan offers panacea,
and Bryan is their Moses"

artisans and mechanics are out of
work. More money will make higher
prices, better demand for goods and a
revival of prosperity.
Goods and produce are too cheap,
because people have no money to buy
them. The depreciation in prices on
some lines of goods has been more
than 30 per cent. in the past six
months. Can merchants and manu-
facturers stand this?
"With free silver the price OF wheat
and corn would enhance in value at
once. Dollar wheat for the farmer
makes him look at his clothes. When
they are frayed he buys new. He
refurnishes his house, if it is needed,
and so helps to start the furniture
factories going again. 1t is so in all
lines. The more money, the greater
demand for goods.
"A single gold standard would
bring prices still lower and more
failures and more disaster for the PEG.
pie. We are partially upon bi met
allie basis now that is in a measure
our salvation. ;
Contract our currency to SO or
$12 per capita and the result would
be such as no one could figure. Talking
of free silver, our minis could not
turn out over $50, 100000 per year
less than s. to every inhabitant.
Would that food the county? 1t
would restore prices, confidence and
resuscitate business. That, [ think,
is about what free silver would do for
us. We want to take care of our
selves first; European countries are
able to take care of themselves.
