Not All For Reed.

The Bellows Falls Times prefers MekiE-
ley to Reed. 1t is the only paper in Vef.
mont thus far that has shown this prefee-
ence. Its argument is that Mckinley is a
better representative OF the national Repub-
hcan party, more closely identified with its
past stpollcy, older experience and altogether
an ADLER man than Rced,-West Randolph
Herald.
Well. Brer Johnson, count us in an NJ
the exceptions and if yon keep your top
eye open you will probably note that there
will be other company, We have nothing
IN particular against Mr.. Reed but are
firmly OF the opinion that Mckinley is il
broader minded man and better states
man and would prefer him to Reed regard
less OF any sectional preiudices. .-Deerfield

are amusing. themselves by talking of
Judge l.. Nj. Read of Bellows Falls for

man for the republican party OF this day

one to try for the nomination only four
years after Windham county man has had

MATTHEWS SAYS WE'LL WIN
The People VIII Get on the Right
Platform.
A FRANK, FEARLESS LETTER
-Four Thousand Men and Women Heartily
Applaud Gov Altgelds Speech for
Silver at Chicago.

Anderson, Ind, May 16.-John r. Brunt
of this city, bolt manufacturer and a
leading silver democrat of the state, gave
out the following letter from Governor
Matthews for publication tonight:
Executive Mansion,
indianapolis, Ind, May 16.
Hon John r. Brunt, Anderson, Ind
Dear Sir: l have your favor of the 18th
instant, and thank you for SO frankly
writing, as we'll as your cordial indorse-
ment of my views. 1 fully agree with
you that the adoption of the single gold
standard platform would be calamity
to the great body of our people and seri-
Gus mistake for the democratic party.
Since we have practically been upon the
gold basis prices of all agricultural and
manufacturing productions have fallen,
together with wages of labor, producing
besides great army of unemployed men.
To now concede without a struggle this
last point and engraft into the legislation
of the country this principle is not what
the democratic party should do
We would then have much to fear in
the still more rapid appreciation of gold.
D am not ready to ask the people to place
this yoke upon their necks. If we will
but offer to the public the right kind of
platform this year, they will respond
heartily to our appeal
l hope you may conclude to come to
the state convention and make an ear
nest effort for the good of the party
