A Horrible Death.

Miss Polly Nichols, aged 62 years,
committed suicide in a most horrible
manner at Ogdensburg. She became
impressed with the idea that small
sore on her back was a cancer and that
it would kill her. She went into the
back yard, saturated her clothing with
kerosene, touched a match to it, and
was so badly burned that she expired in
N few minutes.

w. Seward Webb made no bones
of saying that he promised Gen. Grout
that he would deliver Shelburn to his,
CIRCUITS brother, Josiah. And now
they are talking about making Webb
the next governor. Well, he'll have
happy time in getting there. BY the
way isn't it pretty small business tor
Congressman who has been honored
as general Grout has been to be stick
ing his noseinto state politics. Repub-
licans should make it their sworn duty
from this on to see that this is his last
term. 1t will be hard job but it can
be done, If Mckinley is elected he
will have little army of small fry
postmasters to shout tor him besides the
old, old machine and plenty Of money.
But all these can be overcome if the
people will it.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1896-06-26

The st. Louis convention did its
work well from start to finish. The
platform is sound to the core not only
upon the money question but on all
points. Nothing is set down in vain;
every paragraph bristles with princi-
piles and facts, every portion of it can
be heartily endorsed.
Of the nominees but little need be
said. The first is known of all men
and is as clearly the peoples choice as
any candidate ever was. Garrett A.
Hobart, the nominee for vice president,
is not SO well known by the general
public and has not been in politics but
little owing, largely, to the fact that
hitherto his state has been solidly Dem
ocratic, and that it is not so now is
largely due to bis efforts as chairman
of the Republican state committee.
He has served in both branches of the
New Jersey legislature aud in 81 and
'82 was presiding officer of the upper
branch. He is a thorough business
man and has been active in the indus
trial enterprises of his state.
