Gen. Aleer declares his position on the
presidential question as follows: II ex-
pect," he said, ito be elected delegate to
the st. Louis convention, in which event l
shall cast my vote for Mckinley. 1t looks
as though Mckinley has already such a
strong lead that it would be followed up by
a victory. The state of Michigan is for Nc
Kinley, there is no doubt about that, and
as to the other states the situation is such
as to make it look as though Mckinley
would have majority, so fast is his strength
accumulating. Even from unexpected quar-
ters Mckinley is gaining ground. OF course
that is not disparagement to Allison. Reed,
Quay or Morton. Any of them would make
a magnificent president, but we are talking
now about probabilities.

sHERRIELD.

At the Root memorial concert last week Wednesday evening a very large audience was present. and we were fsv- oied in having with us at this time Miss Mary E. Dewey, of Boston, ss also the ex-president of Sorosis, of New York. Mrs Ella Dietz Clymer. Miss Dewey read an interesting paper giving the reasons why suitable memorial of some kind should be erected to Dr George F. Root in this his native town. etc. An appropriate poem was read by Mrs Cly- mer in memory of George F. Root, as dering of "The Lady of Shalott." by Tennyson. and Hans Andersen's Swine herd was most delightful. Messrs Sinzig and Proctor gave as musical du- etts. and Miss Bright and Mir Follett solos, Clarence Hoadley on the man. dolin, accompanied by his brother on the piano, pleased the audience much and were encored. At the close the dis tribution of souvenirs was made, every one holding ticket receiving gift. The funeral of Mrs Edward Malia was largely attended from the Catholic church Sunday morning.
 It is with much sadness and deep feeling of regret we make note of the passing away of the spirit of our friend and neighbor in this village on Monday morning, Mrs Emma Bacon, wife of John H. Bacon. after a short ill- ness. Although she had not been we'll for some weeks. che had kept about with her daily household duties, until about two weeks ago she was obliged to give up, but sat in her chair to superin- tend her kitchen work. A few days ago she was confined to her bed, and al- though she was in extreme weakness, death came sooner than her friends an ticipsted. Her house is filled with sum- mer boardsrs, who sympathize with the husband. sons and daughter in their great affliction.

Patriotic Words.

Joshua A. Bolles, editor and proprie- tor of the New Milford Gazette, is a democrat, nevertheless he has always conducted the Gazette as an independ- snt paper. In the Gazette of July 31 Nr Bolles makes the following patriotic address to his readers:
 .Country. not politics. should now be the cry of all true patriots. What sensible or justifable reason is there for any man to vote any ticket, the triumph of which would lead to flooding the country with ffty-cent dollars, to low ering the purchasing power of wages one-half. to repudiating half of our na- tonal debt and deeply dishonoring us at home and abroad, to paying the old veterans of the country pensions that will buy only half as much of the nec- essaries of life as these pensions do now, to cheating savings bank deposit ors out of half of the value of their de- posits, to reducing to poverty widows and orphans, old men and women who are depending on moderate and careful ly saved com petencies for support, to plunging the country into panic so wide spread and great that no man can adequately tell what would be it's exact consequences? If there are people who can talk of the campaign as . mere po- itical one, we are not one of them. It is fight for preservation, fight for honesty and the honor of the country against repudiation. fight in defence of property and for the maintenance of the 100 cent dollar. l fight for the good of home and family. Any political par ty or parties that can be used in this fight for the supreme welfare of the country. should bs seized upon as one would grasp . sword or gun. and di, reeted with full force against the enemy. Be patriots, not politicians.
