A Kalamazoo Bolter.

One of the prominent democrats of
Kalamazoo who will bolt the free
free silver ticket is Frank Little, who
is well known by the older residents
of 81. Johnsbury. The local paper
had an interview with Mr.. Little and
in closing he said;
THE old democratic ship that has
weathered many fierce storms and hero
ically battled against formidable poiti-
cal foes from without is now in greater
peril from internal discussions and the
selfish schemes of unprincipled men who
are madly inviting and rushing upon dis
aster and defeat. Rather than stand by
and see the control of the government
captured and fall into the hands of a
mob OF free silver lunatics, populists and
anarchists, | would deem it my duty to
rally to the support of honest govern
ment, the maintenance of public credit
and promotion of true business interests
and welfare of the people Of the United
States"

History Repeating Itself.

Rev. F. B. Phelps of Whiting, for
merly of ST. Johnsbury East, sends
us the following trite commentary
on the Chicago convention:
Nothing could have been more APP
propriate than the closing words Of
the speech OF Mr.. Bryan to the Chi
cago convention: No crown of
thorns, no cross of gold. The par
ty, by the platform which it adopted,
repudiated the principles of honor,
honesty and fair dealings, the princi-
pie of righteousness which the cross
and the crown of thorns are suited
to bring to mind, and had chosen as
their pattern and rallying cry, the
thirty pieces of silver Judas, the
original silver man, repented and
went out and hanged himself. The
democratic party will probably find
that they have followed his example
farther than they intended, and have
committed political suicide. They
also will repent too late"

Gables on a train leaving Boston at
GIG p. m.
The audience at the funeral was
one OF the most noteworthy that
ever assembled in Massachusetts.
The list of distinguished men who
attended is long one, and the pub
lie found few seats. The demand
from notables for cards Of admission
was in excess of the number printed
and the capacity of the church.
Many persons holding cards were
unable to secure seats.
The floral decorations at the
church were very elaborate and
beautiful. The chancel was a mass
of tropical palms and hydrangeas,
with festooning of asparagus and
smilax vines.
The whole interior front of the
church was covered with the floral
designs that came from the friends
and organizations who desired to
pay their tributes Of respect to the
deceased. The pulpit was draped
with palms and vines. The entrances
to the church were decorated with
large plants and flowers.
The whole front of the pulpit plat
form resembled a grotto OF palms.
Among the floral contributors
were city of Cambridge, w. c. Whit
ney, assistant secretary OF the navy
William McAdoo, John c. Sheehan
of Tammany hall, Young Mems
Democratic club of Massachusetts,
Boston city government, J. J. Van
Allen OF Newport, R. l., Gov. Wolcott
and many Others.
Business in Boston and Cambridge
was generally suspended most OF the
afternoon.
The flag on the staff at the presi-
dents house at Gray Gables was at
half mast during the day.

The funeral of Ex-Gov. William E.
Russell was held Monday. Private
services were conducted at the home
of the Russell family at 10 80 a. M,
and the body was placed in the
hearse and driven to City hall, where
it Icy in state from noon till 8
o'clock. 1t is estimated that 10000
people took last look at the
beloved form and that many more
would have done so had there been
time.
1t was nearly 4 O'Clock when the
procession reached the Shepard
Memorial church, where the inal
services were held. Within the edi.
fee flowers were banked on either
side of the chancel, and emblems of
mourning hung on every side. The
three front rows of the centre aisle
were reserved for the family and
immediate friends. Directly behind
these, on the right, sat President
Cleveland, Governor Wolcott and
two members of his staff, while the
front rows of the right outside aisle
were occupied by members Of the
press. Directly behind the president
and the governor sat the justices Of
the superior court of Massachusetts
and the ex members of the senate
and house. Behind them were seated
exmembers of the Cambridge City
Council, and in the rear of these
were the members of this years

city government, members of the
Boston city government, and com
mittees of the governments of othel

Burlington rejoices in a sleeper who
beats everything on record. He visited
some relatives in st. Adams Tuesday
and started to return home on the train
reaching Burlington about midnight;
but he fell asleep and was carried by the
celebrated Essex Junction, and when he
awoke the train was at Enfield, N. H.
To make matters worse he had no
money and his mileage was good only on
the Central Vermont. He succeeded,
however, in getting a con6ding farmer
to drive him to White River Junction,
where he again started for Burlington.
But the end was not yet. He again
slumbered and on awakening found him
self nearing st. Adams! His relatives
then tied tag to him and shipped him
in the care of the conductor, and he ar
rived at his home safely.

Cleveland's Tribute to Russell.

When President Cleveland heard the
news of ex-Gov Russells death he
offered the following tribute:
my personal relations were so init
mate and close with ex-Gov. Russell that
l could not but be terribly shocked at
the news of his sudden death. While
this intelligence has caused me to mourn
a personal loss, cannot forget Mr., Rus
sells eminent public service and his at
tributes of bravery and patriotism which
made him so valuable citizen, especially
at this time, when courageous adherence
to right and an unfaltering advocacy of
sound principles are so much needed. 1t

has suffered bereavement. The people
of Massachusetts, cannot fail to mourn
throughout the length and breadth OF
the commonwealth the untimelv death
