Wholly a Democratic Funeral.

The Montpelier Argus says that the
FREE PRESS made bittcr attack on
Rutland's mayor-elect, Chinese Inspector
Thomas Fl. Browne, and. held him up to
ridicule, because the salary paid by the
government was needed to meet the cur
rent expenses Of the mayor" The Argus
was careful to suppress the fact that we
gave good democratic authority for the
statement by crediting the announcement
to the Boston Globe. Moreover, the article
was In no sense an attack upon Mayor
Elect and Chinese Inspector Thomas II.
Browne. who. so far as we know, is an
honest man, competent official and an
efficient Chnese-chaser.
The democratic Globe called attention
to the pitiablc plight in which the demo-
Gratis of Rutland found themselves as a
result of persuading a federal officer to
violate one of President Clevelands IA
nous civil orders without finding out first
that he could live on tho salary OF 500 at
tached to the mayoralty; and we simply
showed In detail the nature OF the political
offence involved. It was entirely a demo-
cratic funeral, and we simply sympathized
with the mourners, going even so far as
to offer to receive any funds that might be
contributed for their benent as the organ
OF the democratic ring of Vermont de-
cllned to help out the faithful in their
hour of need
The order of democratic president
was violated by a democratic federal OH.
Ger through the aid and connlvance of the
democratic voters of the Marble City in
spite of the fact that a democratic as
sistant secretary of the treasury had pub
lished letter showing that the democratic
administrations order was still In force
and II the democratic Argus desires any
further democratic information on the
subject we can give the name OF the
democratic Official who had the order OF
the democratic president published in un.

Major CIRCUITS Position on n Certain
Point

In commenting in recent issue on the
statement made by correspondent to the
effect that Hon. Josiah Grout would nat
urally appoint his brother" If a vacancy
should happen to occur In the United
States Senate, which 1t would be his duty
as governor. to I'LL by appointment we VEN
tured to suggest some common sense con-
siderations, which we were quite sure
would govern the action OF any governor
in such n case. We are now in possession
of an authoritative declaration on the sub
ject. Having noticed Mr.. Peterson's COM
munication, Major Grout writes to the
editor of this paper, as follows:
III should become governor and should
have any or many such chances. l would
not appoint any of my brothers to the
United States Senate; but would let the
people act directly upon any candidacy
they or any Of them might urge for the
Office"
Major CIRCUITS statement was not needed
for us. for, without any special informa-
ton on the subject, we did not see how he
could take any course different from that
thus indicated. But If anybody still shares
Mr.. Peterson's apprehensions. this dec
laration will put them at rest.

nally in 1876, under his management tho
in an arrangement to take the road out
of the hands of the receivers. The old
companies were wiped out and new
corporation was organized by authority
OF the Legislature, under the title Of the
Central Vermont Railroad company,
in which tho various interests
became owners according to the equitable
proportion OF their respective claims. This
company has owned the roads originally
built by the Vermont Central and the
Vermont and Canada and the several
branches and connecting links purchased
or built by those companies, and has con-
trolled by lease, the Rutland, Ogdensburg,
New London, and other roads. 1t Is run
in six principal divisions--vlz., the Central,
Rutland, Ogdensburg, New London, Mis-
slsquoi Valley, and Burlington and La
noble divisions, and two or three minor
divisions. Gov. Smith was its president
until his death, when he was succeeded
by his son, Col. e. c. Smith, the present
president, who now becomes one of the re-
ceivers.
The Grand Trunk Railroad company of
Canada was a large creditor of the com
pany at the time Of the reorganization, and
became heavy owner of Central YER
mant stock and bonds and it's interest has
been increased by loans and traffic bal
ances. The Grand Trunk is itself by no
means prosperous company, and Its neces-
stiles have no doubt compelled 1t to take
It's present action to secure It's claims. We
trust that the receivership will not prove
to be Of long duration, but experience has
shown that 1t Is commonly much easier
to get road Into receivership than to
get Ii out OF one.

FOR GOVERNOR.
To the Editor of tho Free Press:

In your issue of February 10 you support
Josiah Grout as candidate for governor
There is one thing in connection with tho
election of the coming governor that
would be of vital Importance to the people
of Vermont. In case of a vacancy in the
United States Senate the governor would
make an appointment to Ill the vacancy
In case OF Major Grout he would naturally
appoint his brother. The major, living on
his wife's farm and as a salaried man Of
the Fairbanks at Moline. H., who manu-
facture scales there but do not put their
name on them--has had good chance to
show his ability In both branches, which
he has done with marked success.
In your article you say. 1T has been
well understood for some months past
that Major Circuit would In all probability
be a candidate" l think II You had in
quired you would have found that the
major has been working for this object
for a number of years, and now under
stand he has gone so far as to make
promises of what he will do In case he Is
elected. This should not be- let the vo-
ters Of Vermont have chance. This 'Ill
run as candidate this time and you next
time" is not what the people want Let
the Office seek the man. The major Is n
first class man, has a gallant record; but
what the people of Vermont want Is abil-
ity. Let the members OF the coming con-
vention make inquiries ana compare the
ability OF the various men spoken OF as
candidates and vote for no man tied down
by promises. A person interested In YER
mont would naturally invest his money
at homo and build UP the industries of his
own State, and as to ability Major
CIRCUITS own personal friends concede that
w. W. Stiokney is far ahead. Give US the
best man. Respectfully.
C. G. PETERSON.

Special TO the Register.
SAGINAW. Mich, August S.-There was
no game to-day on account of the rain.
President Power has notified the Wheel
ing president not to play Hardesty and
Robinson. who were taken from Jackson
and have beeen protested by that club.
until he can look into the merits Of the
case. The Wheeling manager says, how
ever. that he will play them every day,
as he feels that he has n right TO DO so.
Hardesty and Robinson claim they were
not paid their salaries 10y President
Lynch. and they were anxious TO get away
from Jackson. The matter promises to
stir up a first class row in the league.
Shields and Davis who We're released at
Jackson, have been signed temporarily
with the Jackson club. The Wheeling
president is determined to strengthen his
club at any price.

With Jackson lettering, and Saginaw
not strong at best, il is by no means
certain that the Interstate League will
finish the schedule season as at present
constituted. 1t is one OF very few min
or leagues which have survived the
month of July. 1t IS not likely that the
organization will disband, but it is pro-
bable that there will be but six clubs
at the close of the season. The west,
in spite of the boasts before the OPEN
ing of the season, was the first section
10 show any evidence Of weakness, and
will be the frs, 10 make a break in the
circuit. Toledo is the only strong club
in the west. Fort Wayne will no doubt
remain. as IL is generally understood
that a portion Of the salary expenses Qf
the team is betrayed by the Cleveland
National League club. Saginaw was
shaky some time ago, but has tided over
financial difficulties, and unless jack
son drops out, may reasonably be eX-
pec,ed TO finish the season. 1t speaks
We'll for the base ball sentiment in the
east, when all the cubs here are pay
ing salaries without depending upon the
receipts from sunday games. With
Sunday ball every eastern club would
flash with a good balance on The right
side Of the ledger.

MOynahan, of the New Bedford team.
for Youngstown. Spade will be releas-
ed.
Whaling is a great ball player and
hard batter. Yesterday he secured two
singles and a double in three times at
bat.-Jackson Patriot.
The Saginaw team has been robbed by
partial umpires, sandbagged by oppcs-
ing managements, and bulldoZed by
players until the point has been reached
when patience is no longer comm nd
able.-Courler-Hera
The Jackson papers say hard things
about tn Wheeling management, for
alleged efforts TO cause discomfort, and
demOrallZe the Jackson team. The 10
cal president is accused Of sending Ho-
brecht home On q pass.
Violet IS the luckiest man in the bus
mess. He gets 70 first without making
hi, more times than any two men in
the league.--Jackson Patriot. Not so.

Cooper is not lucky either, but a hard
man for pitcher TO su!t-Youngstown

The New Castle News man takes a fit
because the Register says the Wheel
ing club is stronger than the Yanegans.
There IS only one way of settling the
dispute. Mr.. News-man, and that is not
by vituperation. Opinions differ, the
judgement of men differs but there can
be no difference of opinion regarding
this one fact-the Kee,y cure is good
