Mutual Benefit Fire Insur Rnce Asso
citation
To the members of the Mutual
Benefit Fire Insurance Association OF
Accomac and Northampton division
We find that the former agents,
Hussey and Long, in writing up ap'
plication for membership, in some
cases placed too high valuation,
thereby giving policies for the full
value Of property, when this Associa
tion only proposes to carry three
fourths of the value in risks. We are
only required by our law to pay, in
case of loss, three-fourths of the real
value.
I would suggest to all such persons
who are holding policies for as much
or more than their property is worth,
to notify the undersigned and have
their policies adjusted, thereby saw
ing themselves from paying excessive
assessments on over rates.

The st. Louis Convention.

The national republican convention
opened Tuesday, and all eyes have
been turned to the cyclone city ever since.
c. w. Fairbanks was temporary and
Senator Thurston of Nebraska perma-
nent chairman. Both gentlemen made
ringing speeches to large and enthusias-
tic audiences. The real leader of the con-
vention is Mark Hanna, the wealthy
Cleveland iron manufacturer, who has
made everything go McKinley's way
until he ran up against Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts,. The latter insisted on
gold plank in the platform and Mckinley
consented to this by special telegram.
The national committee seated about
160 Mckinley delegates before the con-
vention opened and this caused Chair
man Manley OF Maine to make the great
est mistake of his life and announce that
Reed was beaten. Committeeman Fes-
sender of Connecticut said to him, "Joe,
God Almighty hates a gutter" and
these words have been rung in Manley's
ears ever since.
Yesterday was devoted to the consider
alton of the platform which was reported
by Gov. Foraker. A ringing resolution
in favor of Cuban independence was
adopted as follows:
Prom the hour OF achieving their
own independence the people of the
United States have regarded with SYM
pathy the struggles OF other American
peoples to free themselves from European
domination.
"We watch with deep and abiding
interest the heroic battles of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and the oppres-
sion OF Spain and wish the success Of
their determined contest for liberty.
1--WE feel that Spain is unable to con-
troll Cuba and being unable to protect
the property and lives of resident Ameri-
can citizens, or to comply with treaty
obligations, we believe that the govern
ment of the United States should actively
use its influence and good offices TO
restore peace and give independence to
the Island Of Cuba"
The currency plank in the platform
was the bone of contention. The plat
form declared that the existing gold
standard should be maintained and OPP
posed the free coinage of silver. The
plank was adopted by vote of s19 1-2
as against'105 1-2. When the vote was
announced Senator Cannon of Utah
predicted the downfall of the republican
party. This statement was greeted by
howls and Kisses. Chairman Thurston
called the convention to order and re.
marked that no such calamity was likely

| from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The convention was called to order at
1870 by Chairman Olin Merrill of the
state committee. Prayer was offered by
Rev. DR.. Halves Of Burlington and the
call read by Secretary Peck of the state
committee. For the first time in the
memory of the politicians present the en-
tire roll was called, each delegate re-
spending as his name was called. This
occupied 33 minutes to respond as his
name was called. Ex-Gov. Stewart of
Middlebury, who was selected as chair
man Of the convention was unable to be
present, and Col. Alfred A. Hall of st.
Adams made an excellent substitute.
Col. Hall spoke of the republican euthu-
siasm that nothing democratic could
take away. References to the nomina-
tion and election ofMajor Mckinley were
received with hearty cheers. His allu-
sion to Thomas B. Reed was received
with far wilder enthusiasm, lasting for
several minutes. Col. Hall said this was
the sharpest contest ever held in this
state, and while there were two candi-
dates now there would be only one after
the ballots were cast.
The convention organized by electing
E. c. Woodwork of Arlington secretary.
The temporary organization was then
made permanent. The ice-presidents
and committee on resolutions were then
appointed by the chair
Gen. Butterfed of Derby in most elo-
quent address placed in nomination
Major Josiah Grout of Derby. He re-
ferred to him as lone of Vermont's most
trusted sons, that gallant officer, that
clean handed man, that pure.hearted cit
izen." Scenes of wild enthusiasm fol-
lowed for several minutes.
Lt.-Gov. Fletcher of Cavendish placed
in nomination Speaker Stickney of Lud
low and wild attempt was made to
stampede the convention. He spoke of
his long public life, his service as Speaker,
his modesty at receiving high honors.
The speech abounded in sarcastic allu-
s'ons to "pre-arranged plans" etc. At
the close of his speech there was another
stampede.
In seconding Major Grout's nomina-
tion Rev. E. ]. Ranslow's allusion to Mr..
Grout as farmer was received withcon-
siderable derision.
Speaker Stickney's nomination was
seconded by Hiram A. Huse of Montpe.
