THE TWO CANDIDATES.

When we find anything so good
as the following extract from a
speech OF Senator Thurston, we are
always glad TO surrender editorial
space to it, Here 1t is:
What a contrast is there be-
tween the two.candidates now pre-
scented for you official suffrage
One nominated amid the excite.
ment and hysteria of emotional
frenzy-a triumph Of prearranged
spectacular and oratorical red fire ;
a nomination not thought of an
hour before and regretted an hour
after; the other nominated in
obedience to the ripened and de-
liberate demand of the people
themselves, whose spontaneous
uprising in his behalf attested and
emphasized their belief in the
principles for which he stands and
their sincere confidence in the
ability, integrity, patriotism and
craftsmanship Of the man.
"One notified Gin accordance with
his own request) in that great show
garden of New York city, designed
expressly for circuses, menageries,
horse fairs, dog shows, and chrys.
anthemum exhibitions, amid the
blare of trumpets, the glare Of cleo
trio lights, and the incessant tramp
of disappearing hosts; the other,
at his own humble fireside in an
transformations manner, the simple
ceremonies witnessed only Dy his
family and immediate friends.
One, now steeple. chasing through
the country in a mad scramble for
place and power, fearful that some
elector may escape the witchery OF
his f1uted voice, the other, digni.
fed, as BELTS the exalted place to
which he worthily aspires, trust
fully and calmly waits in his own
home while the nation comes to
| him.
"One has selected for his arena
the sand lots his appeals are to
the passions and prejudices oil
men; the forum OF the other is an
American door yard; his rostrum
is the porch OF an American cot
tage; his words, simple and force
full, are addressed to the intelli'
gence, the conscience, the patriot
ism and common sense of brave
thoughtful, just and hopeful peo
pie.
These comparisons are not un
Just, nor are they overdrawD
They measure the infinite distance
between the party and that plat
form of Altgeld, Tillman, Pen
meyer, Llewellyn, Waite, CoXey
and the party and platform o
Harrison, Allison, Reed and Nc
Kinley."-

Cant Get Bets.

Republicans in this city are
having a hard time getting bets on
Mckinley with the Bryan men.
One Republican the LIGHT knows
of offers anybody 500 if they can
place bet of $4,000 of his money
on Mckinley.
Another has $500 on deposit al
Bob Marks saloon, and another
has $500 also there, that they want
to bet that Mckinley is the next
president.
Another gentleman, prominent
insurance man, has $500 cash n
wishes to put up the same way.
None of these have so far beer
able to find any takers.

Next Week at st, Louis,

The gathering of Republican leaders and
politicians at St. Louis has already begun,
and before even Tuesday, the opening day
of ! the national convention arrives, the
city will be crowded with these visitors.
The hotel accommodations are exhausted,
and it is estimated that 20, 900 people hav e
lodgings in passenger and sleeping coaches
which will be side-tracked in the railroad
yards. No doubt exists of the nominatio n
of ex-Gov. Mckinley on the first ballot,
and the prediction is made that long before
the end of the roll call his triumph will be
so complete that his nomination will be
carried by acclamation.
So far as nominations go the only ques-
tion is who will be the candidate for vice
president? The Mckinley leaders are ap-
parently.anxious to have Thomas B. Reed
take the nomination, and there is no
d oubt that he can have it if he will ac-
cept it, but it is very well assured that he
does not want second place. Upon whom
the nomination will fall in case of Mr..
r eed's absolute refusal is entirely mat
ter of conjecture. Several Eastern and
Southern states have favorite sons whom
they would be glad to present for the NOM
ination,

ng to solve and adjust difficult questions

ing to solve and adjust difficult questions
which arose.
In the last Congress Gen. Grout had
charge of the pension appropriation bill
and the speech which he delivered on the
floor of the House while this bill was under
consideration was conceded to be the best
statement of this question ever made.
What the Republican leaders in Washing
ton thought of it is shown by the fact that
the congressional campaign committee cir
culated no less than 494,OOO copies of it,.
1t was through Gen. Grout's efforts that
all the pensions of two dollars month were
raised to six dollars in the last appropria-
tion bill.
During the session of Congress which
closed yesterday Gen. Grout had charge of
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, consideration of it involving the set
tlement of the question whether sectarian
appropriations should be made for the
charitable institutions of the city. In the
closing hours of the session Mr.. Reed made
HIM chairman of the important special
committee which is TO investigate the ac-
counts and operations of the governors of
the National Soldiers Homes of the coun-
try. Evidently the charge that Gen. Grout
does not secure good committee positions
was made without adequate information.
The facts show that it has no just founda-
tion.
Those who are familiar with Washington
affairs know, as has already been intimated,
that Gen. Grout holds high place in the
esteem of his colleagues in Congress, in all
of the departments, and among public men
generally. He is known as a practical,
level-headed man and his advice and Judge
ment are constantly sought upon questions
of public interest as they arise. His in
tegritY has never been called in question,
and he has not used his congressional Of
fee to enhance his personal fortunes. 1t
certainly is not to his discredit that, when
his candidacy for denomination has been
suddenly attacked, he has remained at his
post in Washington to the very close of the
session, although scores of his fellows have
left the capital on one poltica. mission or
another.
With regard to the candidacy for Gen.
CIRCUITS place of any other person we enter
into no controversy. We simply hold by
the position stated last week, that common
fairness and spirit of honorable politics
require that when he is to be displaced the
contest should be made openly, with due
notice given, and ample opportunity for
Gen. Grout to defend himself, and for the
people Of the district to discuss The merits
and qualifications of the several aspirants,
and choose from them whom they will.

NIanIey Gives Tn the Fight.

The climax in the pre-convention stu
alton was reached Wednesday when Jo-
seph Fl. Manley of Maine, Mr.. Reeds
friend and manager, publicly declared that
nothing can prevent McKinley's nomina-
tion. At meeting of the national COM
mittee it proved that the vote on contest
ing delegations was overwhelmingly in
McKinley's favor (36 to y. Upon this de-
velopment Mr.. Manley gave up the fight
and dictated statement for the press in
which he said it was useless to deny that
the convention was for Mckinley and will
nominate him on the first ballot. Under
no circumstances, Mr.. Manley added, will
Mr.. Reed accept second place on the ticket.

County Politics.

The discussion of state politics occupies
so much of the public attention that but
little has been heard of county politics thus
far, although the county convention is now
only two weeks away. Until last weeks
developments in the congressional contest
it was generally understood that the north
ern part of the county would present
as a candidate for the senate, and that he
would undoubtedly receive the nomina-
tion. In this part of the county the names
of J. L. Martin of Brattleboro and Hosea
Mann, jr., of Wilmington have been men.
toned for the senatorial office. How the
candidacy of Martin and Read for Congress
will affect the situation remains to be seen.
Should it withdraw them from the field it
wonld apparently leave the nomination of
a senator from the southern part of the
county free to 60 to Mr.. Mann, whose leg
islative experience and home support give
him strong lead for the place. AS can
didate from the upper district the name of
DR.. Geo. S. Foster of Putney, who was
close SECOND IOr tHe NOMINATION Two years
age, has been brought out by his friends
within a few days. The name of P. H.
Rutter of Townshend, who has represented
his town in the legislature during two or
three sessions, has also been favorably
mentioned.
1t is conceded that the state s-attorney-
ship will go to Bellows Falls for the coming
term and Geo. A. Weston and Charles H.
Robb of that place are both in the field for
the nomination. The Rockingham caucus
tomorrow afternoon will undoubtedly de-
eide which is to be the candidate. In
Brattleboro and vicinity, where Mr.. Robb
has been known from boyhood, and is uni
versally esteemed, he would have cordial

Another Veto from the President.

President Cleveland sent to the House
last Saturday a veto of the general def
cheney bill, his main ground of objection
being to the appropriation of upward of
one million dollars in partial payment of
the French spoliation claims. These
claims are based upon depredations made
upon our commerce by French cruisers in
the closing years of the last century. In
a final settlement with France in 1900 our
government abandoned these claims in
consideration of the REIMBURSEMENT by
France of certain claims against us. The
original claimants are all long since dead.
BY their hers-their grandchildren and
great t-grandchildren-the claim is set up
that, the government having profited by
its escape from the French demands, it is
equitahly bound to pay to its citizens the
claims thus reinquished. The President S
conclusion is that "If injustice has been
done in the refusal of these claims, it be-
gan early in the present century, and may
be charged against men then in public life
more conversant than we can be with the
facts involved, and whose honesty and
sense of right ought to be secure from
suspicion" This veto was sustained by
Congress and a general deficiency bill was
formulated and passed with the objection
able appropriation omitted.

CoIored Delegates at st. Louis.

The St. Louis hotel keepers started in to
draw the color line in the entertainment of
delegates to the Republican convention,
but through the determined action of W.
Murray Crane of Massachusetts, delegate
at large and member of the Republican ma
tional committee for that state, this bar
rier was broken down. Two of the Massa-
ch usetts alternates have negro blood in
their veins. A contract for the entertain
ment of the delegates was made with the
Southern Hotel, but a protest was raised
against receiving Courtney and Ruftin, the
two colored men. Mr.. Crane said firmly
that all or none would be received, and
after some hesitation the managers sur
rendered to his terms.
In despatch from st. Louis Mr.. Crane
says: civilian Russell Allen of Pittsfield,
who owns the Southern Hotel, happened
to be here and noticed the importance of
the situation, and led off with his hotel in
admitting colored delegates, and was in
strumental in persuading the other hotels
to adopt the same course, so that all are
now taking delegates regardless of color. T"

support should the nomination fall to him.
Announcement comes from Westminster
tina; Daniel Kellogg of that place will be
candidate for assistant judge in place of
Hon. L. S. Walker of Grafton, who is now
serving his twelfth year in that office.
Although comparatively new recruit in
the Republican ranks there is no question
about his soundness in the faith. Mr..
Kellogg was postmaster in BrRttleboro
from 1862 to 1869 and has many Brattle-
boro friends who would support him with
pleasure should change in the assistant
judgeship be made.
No suggestion has been heard of changes
in the other county offices.

have some one to look after the details of the work being done by the detec- tives, and he has had charge of the same for the last year, and has shown his ability to fill the position. And, I would also recommend, that the clerk of the police department be appointed clerk of the board of police commits sionerS.
 The area covered by the signal sys- tenn is too limited, and I would recom- mend that 1t be extended at once Cir cumstances frequently occur, during the day or night, when 1t becomes nee essary for the patrolmen to communi- cate important information to the dis trict station, or headquarters, and were there more signal boxes this could be done without the consequent loss of time in going to boxes as far removed as they are at present, and thus add greatly to the efficiency of the depart ment.
 I also wish to return my sincere thanks to your honorable board for the able assistance rendered me at all times in the discharge of the various duties of the department, to the captains of the several stations for the able manner in which their duties have been performed, and in assisting to keep harmony in the department, and to all the members under their command for the interest they have manifested and the manner in which their duties have been done; to the clerk of the department for his untiring energy and efficiency ill the discharge of his arduous duties, thereby rendering much valuable assistance to me and to the department.
 Hoping that the same good feeling may exist amongst the officers and members Of the department, for it is in unity there is trength. and that we shall always have the hearty co-opera- tion of your honorable board in the discharge of our various duties, I re- main,
 Yours very respectfully,
