THE Montpelier Military Band and a
goodly number of republicans went last
Wednesday evening to the residence of Z.
M. Lyon, up Worcester branch, where a
handsome Mckinley and Hobart flag was
raised. Judge M. E. Smile discussed the
issues of the campaign, showing, in a con-
vincing manner, the ~fallacies Of the advo-
Gates Of free silver and cheap money.
THOSE people on Berlin street who have
become somewhat exercised by the notice
published last week that a petition would
be presented to the next legislature to an
mex Berlin street to the city Of Montpelier
are talking of p%etitioning the legislature
elect for a village charter. 1t is by no
means certain that either of these petitions
will ever reach the wisdom and virtue"

A of local democrats went to
Barre last Saturday evening, where T. j.
Boynton addressed a democratic rally. In
the crowd were several democrats who had
neglected to have their names placed on
the checklist, and when they returned,
just before midnight, there was some wild
hustling among several democratic leaders
to get these names registered. Before it
was accomplished, however, the clock struck
twelve and the jig was up.

and r. A. Hoar of Barre were the speakers.
1t was intended to have the rally in the

get inside the church and a rousing out
door meeting was the result.

G. B. ROBERTS was the innocent victim of
a practical joke last Friday. The Mckinley
and Hobart flag that he hung out last
Wednesday night was not large enough to
suit him, and, through A. g. Stone, he or
dered one twice the size. 1t arrived Friday
morning and he proceeded to raise it in
place of the one run out Wednesday even
ing. Not until the large flag was sus.
pended over the street did Mr.. Roberts dis
cover that the shipper had mixed the babies,
and that the names of Bryan nd Sewall
decorated his newlag. Some local democrats
attempted to guy Mr.. Roberts, asking him
if the free silver discussion the night before
had converted him, but the good-natured
street commissioner did not get ratified OF
lose his temper. 1t was simply a mistake,
and he knew enough to rectify it at once
