company on April 25th promised to pay me
| $4,000 on April 2Sth, and on Nav 4th received
| the check less the assessment due but not any
interest added for the six days that had
passed since they promised to pay it. This
| delay made quite difference to me, as wa:
paving interest all the time notes thai
would have been paid had they sent the
money as they promised. | would also say
the company refused to pay the whole amoun
of my insurance, S39S4, on account of a mort
gage of $500 placed on my property after the
Insurance policy was issued of which they
were not notified. HERBERT w. LEACH.

The Free Press says ''amen' to Senator
Proctor's statement that the people of Yer
mont have an old, fixed habit of deciding
for themselves what they want, and it is
the part of wisdom not to interfere with
this habit. But an ''amen' from the
mouthpiece of the very bosses who were
turned under at Montpelier has hollow,
hypocritical sound.

A few newspaper luminaries of lesser
magnitude still insist that Grout will be
nominated for governor because the papers
of the state pretty generally support his
candidacy; but Judging from the way in
which Mckinley was endorsed, newspapers
have very little to do with forming political
sentiment in Vermont 1t is barely posi-
BILE that editorial scribblers are not SO pow
erful factor as they themselves imagine.
The St. Albans Messenger has discov-
cred that g Careful and impartial observers
at Washington were thoroughly convinced
more than month ago that majority Of
the Republican representatives were moi
favorable to the candidacy of Speaker
Reed. Very naturally, this opposition did
not make itself conspicuous, but it was
there nevertheless. Supposing that the
contemporary has exclusive sources O
information and that its contention is cor
rect, there must be rottenness in Denmark
The speaker has been very prolific O
favors extended to his colleagues, and ths
alleged attitude of the house regarding hi
presidential boom manifests the bases
ingratitude. If the esteemed contempt
rary can be believed America hath he

CAMDEN, N. j., Oct 26.-Garrett A.
Hobart, the republican candidate for vice
president, made what was practically his
first political speech of the campaign to-
night at the Temple theater, in this city, be-
fore an audience that filled the place to

commencement of a campaign throughout
the state, In which Mr.. Hobart will speak
Previous to the theater meeting, the can

a steady line of people shook hands with
him and Governor Griggs, the latter as
sisting him in receiving. After this Mr.
Hobart was the guest of United States Sem
ator Sewell at dinner Long before the
hour of meeting the theater was crowded
to the doors and upon Mr.. Hobart's en-
trance he was given an enthusiastic well
come. Samuel Bailey, one OF Camden's
manufacturers. presided at the meeting.
Mr., Hobart, upon being introduced. ex-
tended his heartfelt thanks for the recep-
ton rendered him, and said in part

were spent in labor Wages had gone up
all these things, during the administration
of President Harrison, yet the state of
New Jersey gave majority for the repub-
lican party less than in the eighty years
standard as now, but confidence began to
be lost; men who owned mills could not
operate them and millions of persons were
out of work. Then came the Wilson BILL
and when II passed 1t was felt in every
household in New Jersey. Every democrat
and every republican now knows something
must be done. The republican party stands

the men at work. Another landmark in
our history has been reached. Another
milestone in our journey. We thought we

tariff; instead, we are to decide whether
our money Is to be debased, our currency
debauched. l will not characterize this as

After referring to some statistics. Mr.. Ho-
bart closed by quoting from his letter OF ac-

Bourke Cochran that this is a campaign In

patriotism must assert themselves"
Governor Griggs also spoke. Tomorrow
night Mr.. Hobart speaks in Jersey City.

General in south Dakota.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Oct. 26.-(Special
Telegram.)-The Bryan men are getting des-
perate and their public utterances are as
founding the people. Senator Pettigrew in
recent speech declared: ~ would rather
be singing the Marseillaise tonight than
making pepole laugh" and again. ''If our
principles cannot be settled by the ballot
they must be settled by hloodshed''
Today the populist state committee had
painted two transparepcies, one OF theiii
road: 1.-The time will come when the bank
ers of New York and Boston will be hung
like the horse thieves of Texas" The other
read: Give us Liberty or give us Death -
The endorsement of such radical cries has
shocked the people immensely and there is
a considerable movement away from Bryan.
The Bryan men are losing heart on ese re-
suit in the state. The republicans have for
a week or two been trying to get even bets
on the state. They secured few small ones.
Saturday one McKinleylte deposited 81 600
with Colonel Fred Snyder, after vainly bluff
ing the Bryan leaders So much was their
failure to meet 1t weakening their cause
here that today c. A. Jewett and half a
dozen leaders made up a purse and covered
1t. Colonel Snyder at once offered to double
the bet, but they refused. Even bets on
Mckinley carrying the state are going beg
cling here, though several thousand dollars
Is offered.
