A Poem in Prose,

The editor of the Brandon Union is not
only a journalist Of greater or less ability,
but is also politician in small way. He
is great lover Of the ring and seems
to think that he too is within its charmed
circle. He recently penned poem in
prose dedicated to the ''ring" that is des-
tined to a permanent place in the political
literature Of the state. Here is the poem.
'sHere's for Major Grout that he may roll
up the largest Republican majority Ner-
mont has been credited with in score Of
years. Here's for the ''ring.n God save
the ''ring." tits welded from the bess
brain and Drawn in Vermont. Around its
glorious circle flows the best blood in Ia
commonwealth. Long may it i've"
The careful reader will detect in these
beautiful lines the use Of suspicious phrases
The poem opens with phrase used only ii
toasts or on occasions of bacchanalian rev.
elry. A few lines further down the author
uses the word Flows like he had din
remembrance Of soda fountain patronized
on the night preceding the composition o.
the poem. But after all these are trivia
matters of criticism, and do not effect the
real merit Of this beautiful production.

Mckinley Sure to Win.

In his bulletin issued last Saturday Gen.
Grosvenor counts 592 votes for Mckinley
out OF 9lS. He says:
8 Last week closed the election of dele
gates to the St. Louis convention and Nc
klnley was indorsed by all the states which
expressed an opinion during the week,
Washington, Wyoming, West Virginia and
North Carolina. The free silver states. of
course, refused the Endorsement of McKin-
ley and their delegates are uninstructed as
to persons, but they have received peremp-
tory orders as to principles. There are
now elected 9lS delegates, but four in Ari-
zona, four in New Mexico and four in
Oklahoma must depend upon the future
action of the national convention for seats
IN that body, the official call authorizing
them to elect only two delegates in each
OF the territories
The following states have elected either
solid Mckinley delegations or delegations
with a majority of Mckinley men, so that it
may be conceded that McKinley's followers
will control these states, to wit Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Ari-
zona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jer-
sey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oregon, South Carolina South Dakota,
Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washing
ton, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
and the territories Of New Mexico and
Oklahoma. Only three Of these states
have contests for the entire delegations,
and, throwing them out, there would be
left 20 Mckinley states and territories to
elect members OF the committee on creden-
tials.n

Mckinley on the Financial Is. ue.

The mugwump and democratic organs
are having lots of fun trying to get Me
Kinley to commit himself on the money
question. He is being called such choice
names as ''double-face," ''straddle bag,
etc. All this hullabaloo is ruse to en-
trap the major; candidates subscribe to,
not make platforms.
In recent communication Gen. Gros-
venor said:
''One of the unwritten rules of political
campaigns which has not been violated by
any candidate for the presidency is that the
candidate shall not make platform. The
violation of that rule cost Henry Clay the
presidency, and from that time to this no
man has violated it with impunity No
mans friends have right to call upon him
to foreshadow the party's platform, much
less would any candidate be permitted,
under any circumstances whatever, to an
swer the interrogatories of cabal of bis
enemies, combination formed within bis
own party and outside of his own party-a
conspiracy of bosses and democrats-tO
force from him declaration as to what the
platform ought to be. A man who would
fall into the manipulation of such con
spiracy would be totally unfit to be the
president of the United States. Major
Mckinley will respond to the platform
but he viii not dictate what the platform
shall be-

Two Giant News Agencies.

There are two great rival news agencies
in this country,-the United press with
headquarters in New York, and the As
sociated press with headquarters in Chi
cago. The country over, the Associated
press serves many more papers than its
competitors but the United press is strong
in the east, especially in New England
There are, however. indications that the
United press will not long hold an undi-
vided field even in New England. Last
week the Boston Journal announced that
it had become a stockholder in the Asso-
ciated press and would hereafter use its
service. In speaking of the change the
journal says: equality of service and
guarantee of permanence were the cond-
tons which decided the Journals course.
Cost was minor consideration, for money
spent wisely for news always brings an
abundant return. Careful scrutiny Of al
news reports since the first of January
proved the superiority Of the Associated
press service absolutely. This member
ship brings the Journal into close relations
with the strongest and most enterprising
newspapers in all parts of the United
States and with the leading news organiza-
tions in foreign countries"
Should the Associated press make its
service as strong as in other parts of the
country, it would be only a question OF
time, when it would serve many of the best
dailies in New England.

Memorial Day Orders.

Department Commander l.. W. Aldrch
of the u. \. X. has issued the following or
ders in relation to the observance of Memorial
day by the New Hampshire posts:
Headquarters Department of New Hamp-
shire, Grand Army of the Republic.
State House,
Concord, May 6, 1896.
General Orders, No. D.
In accordance with the firmly established
rule of the Grand Army of the Republic, and
in compliance with General Orders, from
National Headquarters, Saturday, May 30,
will he observed by all posts in this Depart
ment as Memorial Day. They properly lead
and cordially urge all to Join in this patriotic
service. Surely the comrades of this depart
ment do not need second word to decide
their noble duty and dearly bought privilege
to the departed heroes. Let us respond to
tions of 1861 to 1868, so that our hearts may
thrill with the noble consciousness that we
have not lived in vain. As it is sadly true
that so many have gone from the battlefield
of life. it is grandly true that they have been
promoted to the life immortal, beyond toll
some marches and waiting in weariness and
pain. Each year the number to assemble to
perform this sacred duty Is steadily decreaS-
ing; but each Memorial Day also brings to US
a new determination to perpetuate the prin-
ciples of our Order, and to strengthen and
preserve the fraternal ties which unite us in
one comradship. Let no grave be unyisited,
/ no comrade forgotten. Standing by these
sacred mounds, let US urge that never as long
as the Grand Army of the Republic has exist
