has no reason to doubt as the board
have had presented to them state
ment demanding some 5000 or $1,000
claimed to be due from the county on
account OF said Gossage. AS the board
had settled for all the supplies received
from Gossage they did not feel they
would be justified in settling accounts
OF privste individuals even if bought on
the credit Of the county They were
afraid such action would weaken the
credit OF the county SO they authorized
the auditor to notify the company to
that effect; a copy OF which, letter can be

ARUDE AWAKENING.

Not long since we adjusted our night
cap. patted the pillow, pulled up the
down co, erlet and settled ourselves Tor
a mid-winter nights dream. and, oh
the elories Of that vision of greatness
snon To lie ours are, we fear, found only.ln
..s,lch stuff rs dreams are made OF. .
We dreamed Of six milliC@ dollar 1oans
and s.sich. " aud the rude awakening We
have had. has caused cold creeps up and
down our vertebfa ever since. We have
learned to realize truly, only two truly
..what a difference in the morning. " and
inst as we had in our vision seen the
last dollar Of that siX-mllliOn loan ex-
pended on our Naval Academy, aud 1t
was perfect Eden. We are rudely made
aware Of the possibility of having no
Naval Academy on which to expend a
loan some achieve it, and some have
visions thrust upon them. We are not
fully aroused to realize the class to which
We belong, bat We seriously object TO
having visions thrust upon us only to
lie awakened to snch awfully stern reali-
ties. and be made the butt of good-na-
tured % fun.
The next time we settle ourselves for
a nap, we shall be sure that the awaken
ing will not be Of such nature that we

yea, the president and the whole adj
ministration iiself-were bound over
body and soul to the money power,

to come. The nerves of not only the
dignified senate itself, but of all in the
audience, got q shock.

WHERE was MortOns money when
Mckinley scooped ir those Georgia dele
gatesy
The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1896-05-15

As the Reformer has said for severa
weeks. the only question is whether
any other name but McKinley's vii
be presented to the Republican con
vention Even Quay recognizes that
he and the rest are playing a losing
game and he says:
Il suggest that we keep still until all
the delegates to the national convention
have been elected. Then we should
cause a careful, searching inquiry to
be made as to the preference of the
delegates, and. if majority are found
irrevscably tied to Mckinley, as seems
probable, | see no reason why any
name but his should be presented to
the convention. The most we could
do would be to force Mr.. Hanna to
spend some money keeping his forces
in line and guarding against sur
prises. y
That little fling about money. true
as it is does not indicate that Quay
expects to be the tail of the ticket.

Who is to he Cheated.

The Middlebury Register, which i.
of all the state press the one outspoker
advocate of free silver. is of course de
lighted with the progress of the free
silver cause and shows that the declar-
alton of the Vermont Republicans in
his favor was made with a full knowl-
ledge ofMcKinlev' s record. and as it be
feves because of it. The Register says
There is little or no doubt that Mr..
Mckinley at heart is sincere believer
in bimetaliism. His record was pub
lisbed in this paper the week before
the state convention at Montpelier.
and "A marked copy sent to members of
the convention and also To large
share OF the farmers of the state. 1t
is, then, because of his understood
support of bimetallism that the farm
ers of Vermont and many other of her
citizens have rallied to Mckinley.
They hope TO see him nominated at st.
Louis; but if he is, or after he is, they
will expect mis- sincere AM rarnest
support of the vital movement upon
which their prosperity 50 absolutely
depends
The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1896-05-15

Tom Platt's words are very apt to be
right whatever may be SAID of his
deeds. Hence he talks sense about
the Mckinley rush thus:
THE people of the country have had
enough of the attempt to force so cents
worth of silver into circulation as a
dollar. They have suffered incalcula-
BILE losses as the result of 20 years of
that policy. ] am credibly informed
that the instruction FOR Mckinley by
the California convention was obtained
by the promise on the part of his man
ayers of a cabinet offi ce. and by the
further promise that he would sign
any silver legislation that could be
got through the next Congress. The
Republican candidate for president
must be man VINO, instead of occupy
ing an equivocal position on this sub
ject, stands out firmly as an advocate
of sound and thorough reform of the
currency with gold as the stan lard of
value.
The trouble with Platt's argument
is that he overlooks she fact that
up to date, at least, Mckinley's finan-
cial record is no worse than that of
the Republican party.
