Major CIRCUITS Chances.

There is no use denying the fact
that the Stickney boom was greatly
helped by the action of the Burling-

and we look for a good victory for
the Derby man at the Burlington con-
veution. The Stickney men made a
house-to-house canvass in Burlington
without the fact being known to the
Grout forces, and it is just this kind
OF still hunt that is being made all
over the state. Even St. Johnsbury
was not neglected in this political
game and a prominent friend of the
speakers made a CANVASS Of the town
Wednesday. The result Of this visit
will appear at the caucus next Sat
urday, if there were any results
