IN GLEEsON,s BEHALF.

Lincoln Forrest made n statement this
morning that Lieut.. Kelly stood near the
polls in fun uniform and distributed Glec-
son ballots and solicited votes. Mr.. Forrest
went step further and asserted that Lieut..
Kelly and his men frequently opened the
line near the booth 10 admit Gleesnn voters.
and on one occasion pushed back the line
and inserted four priests to vote for Glee-
SON.
In this same district ]. NJ. Hcislcy. one
of the Judges. states that Andrew Gleeson
himself was turned down in an attempt
to vote the second time. At the voting booth
located at Seventh and Pomeroy streets
the Nauck men are prepared to prove that
the judges each read the tickets cast. and
with nearly every Nauck-Brooks ticket
threw it upon the floor.
Benjamin Blcthen. who for ten years has
resided within square of the polling
place, was not allowed to vote on the ground
of being a nonresident, and his anti-Glec-
son ticket was torn up.
1t is with such information that Mr..
Nauck will seek To contest the election.
Col. I.orin NJ. Saunders did not come
down to his office early today, but said
he would stand by his protest as given
last night by Mr.. Jones. Col. Saunders
feels suspicious of Perry Carson, his run
ming mate. and believes he can successfully
induce the convention to throw out fraudu-
lent votes enough to unseat Glecson.
Col. Parker said this morning that he
could not receive any protests. as the board
of supervisors had completed its duty and
work. and was no more. All protests must
go to the national convention. 1t seems to
be settled fact that the District will in
the future have no representation at the
Republican convention. owing to the al
legged frauds of yesterday and the con-
tests to come.
Oscar Nauck today filed formal protest
with Chairman Parker. of the supervisors,
against the action and report of the return
ing board. certifying to the result OF the
ballots cast for the candidates, as re-
ported in The Morning Times today.
d. B. McCary. cashier of the Capital
Savings Bank. also has submitted to The
Times an affidavit from himself, declar-
ing that votes were east for L. G. Bailey.
in the Fourteenth district, despite the fact
that the official count makes il appear that
he did not receive single vote there.

are two happy men today, and many ill.,
diEnant ones.
Among the latter are Col. Lorin NJ Saund-
ers and oscar Nauck. Each claims unfair
treatment and offers sworn evidence of
wholesale fraud. In the Nineteenth dis
trict II Is reported that 500 ballots for
Glecson were placed in the box before the
casting Of the first vote. The Tenth dis
trict is regarded as the best evidence OF
alleged fraud and alleged intrigue. over
5000 votes We're polled in this district
i'll three hours. Two thousand one hundred
and eleven of these Were for GIctSon.
\ little figuring will show that.this was
at the rate of u vote every three and one half
seconds. In the Fifteenth district whole
sale fraud is asserted and Lieut.. Kelly,
in charge of the police of that precinct,
is being severely criticised for what Mr.
Nauck's friends claim is a breach of his
duty.

On Wednesday eve, March 18th, about
forty of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Benware gathered at their home to
celebrate the fifth anniversary of their
marriage. An oyster supper was served,
and social dance enjoyed.
On March 18th, our genial shoemaker,
Napoleon Root, attained the age of 6o
years. Early that evening he was induced
to ride over to Troy with a neighbor,
reaching home about 7.30. To his COM
plete surprise he found a company OF
neighbors and friends, who had gathered
to celebrate his birthday. About sixty
persons sat down at the heavily laden
tables. Among those present were David
Prue and wife, and Moses and Fred Pelcha
of Newport. Gifts were presented to the
value of S25, the presentation being made
by Mr.. S. L. Hendrix; Mr.. Prue read a
humorous poem, and the Misses Mary and
Elsie Root sang a duet. The company
staid until the wee small hours and then
dispersed, well pleased with the evening
they had enjoyed in the home of their
courteous tOWnSman.

All Vermonters will be grieved to
learn that the long illness which has
afflicted Ex Gov. Fuller continues, and
that he feels obliged to make south
ern trip, possibly a sea voyage in pur-
suit of health He broke down on ac-
count of the labors he has been per
forming during the last ten years. His
large business, his work in the politi-
cal canvass, his duties while govern
or, his activities in religious and be-
nevolent things, and withal, his APP
plication to various studies and in the
line of inventions were all too much
for any man to endure. His loss from
the affairs of the state is felt. Should
he be taken away his death will seem
to have been the result of the tremen
dous and overpowering labors he has
performed.

SALEOF BIG WATER POWER.

The Palladium has the following in
regard to the sale of the Big Falls in
the Missisquoi river between North
and South Troy villages:
A few days ago the "Big Falls was
by warranty deed transferred by G.
H. Kathan, for the Stewart estate, to
the ownership of the firms of Parker
& Hunt, and o. w. Fowler & Son, the
widely known piano board manufac-
turers of this place. These firms have
purchased this privilege with the pur
pose of promoting its full develop
ment.
The "Big Falls'' property consists
of twenty acres of land situated both
sides on the river, and three distinct
water privileges, from which can be
obtained heads approximating Is, 20,
and rs feet respectively. The lower
fall is the particular prize of the pur
chase, for the river there is already
more than half damned by natural
rock formation. It's great head could
be vastly increased by damming the
upper fall and carrying water by con-
duit to wheels set at the foot of the
lower falls or by canal. To say moth
ing of the two first privileges, the
great fall is capable Of developing I'M
der the full head obtainable, accord
ing to the opinion of competent en-
gineers, 1000 horse power at least,
every hour of the day through the
year and fully 1900 horse power
greater part Of the time.
The distance from the rivers source
% miles, and the large number of live
tributaries intervening, insures the
steady flow of :, large volume of wa
ter even in the dryest weather. The
proximity Of this property to North
Troy, and the Canadian Pacific Rail
way, and the short distance of ten
miles to Newport make it a particu-
larly eligible site for large manufac-
turing establishments, or for the gem
Grating Of electric light and power.
Dynamos located here could furnish
all the energy necessary for operat-
ing an electric railroad from North
Troy to Lowell or points further
south. A railroad through this val
lev TO point on the Boston & Maine
system has long been agitated, and is
in fact necessity to relieve the
heavy freight teaming that is con-
stantly carried on over the 80 miles Of

markets, contamination that would
be hailed with the greatest satisfao.

We are too far removed from Ken
lucky to Judge altogether correctly of
the failure to elect a United States
senator in that state and we are not
disposed to criticise harshly. The
session of the legislature which has
just closed has it's lessons for Ken
lucky Republicans, however, and
chief among them is the necessity Of
carrying botn houses Of the Iegisla-
ture at the next election.
We think this might be matter Of
somewhat easy accomplishment. The
Democracy in Kentucky is widely
split and the chances of Republican
success again upon another trial
have been frightened by the criminal
neglect Of the senate during this ses-
sion of the legislature. The senate
has been Democratic body and has
deliberately refused to pass or even
to consider the necessary financial
measures which the house promptly
enacted and sent up for concurrence.
The state of Kentucky by this neglect
has been placed in a position of keen
humiliation and the blame must fall
upon the heads of the Democratic
senate and thence to the Democratic
party. There is ample Republican
capital for the next campaign in Ken
lucky and we look for its judicious
and successful use.-Stdtesnldn.

Meta!l!ae Shoes
ARE THE
BEST ON EARTH!

Why? Because the soles are made of the
best oak tanned leather and made abso-
lutely water proof Because the sole will
outwear any three pair of ordinary sOIes and
is always flexible, never cracks on the bottom
never gets hard by being wet. The sole being
flexible there is no strain on the upper and
the stitches never rip around the bottom.

evidence obtained we find that some
part Of this work is placed in the
best private and public library in this

that they cover a field relative to the
past. present and future progress
and achievements of the human race
