A RECOUNT WAS MADE.
THE CITY COMMITTEE ADMIT THE
TRUTH OF THE PUBLICATION.
But Say No Oniciai Action Was Taken
Cant. Lambs Friends Heard From
Several Ahidsvits.

The publication in yesterdays Times
that the vote cast In the Ellett-Lamb
primary. in the Fourth precinct. Monroe
ward. on August 10th last, had been
recounted by ten members OF the City
Committee. and found to be incorrect,
the difference being in Captain Lambs
favor. has created a profound sensa-
ton in political circles, and was the
main topic OF conversation on the streets
yesterday.
The fact that there was a recount Of
the votes cast In the precinct mentioned
has not been denied, either by the Clty
Committee or by the friends OF Captain
Lamb. IL will be observed that only the
simple fact was stated in The Times that
such a recount had been made. No
charge was made that the Judges or
clerk in that precinct were aware OF
the fact, or that they knew that such
an error had occurred.
MIR. COULLING TALKS.
Both Colonel Elicit and Captain Lamb
were out OF the city yesterday. and could
not be seen, but A,r. ". NJ. COuiling, a
friend OF the latter. had the following
to say.
81 knew nothing of the matter until IT
appeared in The Times. The publica-
tion IS evidently designated TO injure
Captain Lambs chances for election, and
TO aid those of his Republican opponent.
II point to the alhdayits Of the Judges
and clerk OF election, and Messrs. Blake
and Wallace, published below, as show
ing In the most convincing manner. that
no error. intentional or otherwise. was
made by the officers Of election In count
ing the ballots, and making the return 10
the City Committee.
81 also point out that even u mis-
take had been made. the result would
have been the same. for In that event
the vote on the temporary organization,
instead OF being s5 for MIR. owen to 81
for Mr.. Smith. would have been ~ for
Mr.. owen 10 % for Mr. Smith.
The breaking Of the seals and re-
counting the ballots is something cx-
traordiary and unheard-of. After the
lapse Of the time allowed for contests
10y the plan Of the primary, not even
the committee itself had any rlghtful
authority TO open and recount the bal
lots. The only proper disposition 10 be
made Of them was TO burn them with
the seals unbroken. according 10 the long
established practice Of the committee.
For any man 10 have access to the
ballots, under the circumstances dis
closed in this case. affords an easy and
safe opportunity TO throw suspicion on
the integrity OF officers OF election. and
Of those gentlemen who witnessed the
count and 10 impeach ard dscredit the
title OF the candidate TO his nomination;
it places all OF these gentlemen in d
position where they cannot possibly de-
fend themselves.
Il feel sure that the people OF this
district will not fail to see the matter

NARROW.

The residence of w. H. Perkins has been
receiving new coat of paint. Tyler Clarke
Of Acworth did the job.
The NARROW cornet band furnished music
for Memorial services at Langdon. They APP
peared in new uniforms and were assisted by
a former leader, Frank Emerson of Keene.
There was no public observance of Memo
rial day here. The soldiers graves were dec.
Grated privately in the morning, after which
the post accompanied by the w. r. c. went
to Stoddard and held public services there.
Cheshire County Pomona grange met with
Excelsior grange last Wednesday. 1t was
the largest gathering of patrons ever held in
town, $50 persons taking dinner. Every
grange in the county except one was repre-
sented. The afternoon session as usual was
public, but your correspondent was not able
to be present.
Funeral services over the remains of Capt.
Elisha Buss, whose suicide was reported last
week, were held on Wednesday at his late
residence by Rev. DIR. MCollister of MARI
boro, who 81 years ago in the same place per-
formed the same service for Mr.. Buss' only
son. Mr.. Buss was native and lifelong
resident of this town. In middle life he was
much interested in military matters and at
tanned to the rank of captain in the militia.
By occupation he farmer, but had re-
tired from business for several years. For a
year past he had been nearly helpless from
paralysis. He left wife but no children.

Travel Beneficial.

1t is conceded by most well informed
people that travel adds materially to the
education of those who are still members
the best methods of adding the finishing
touches to an academic, collegiate or bust
ness course, and that it, better than any
thing else, takes the place of limited
early education. 1t is also one of the best
recreations for most people. IF this be
true, in no other way can we better carry
out one of DR.. B. w. Richardson's rules OF
Glow to Prolong Life" He says, "to
maintain recreations for both sexes in
which each can healthily and naturally par
ticipate, this is to do the choicest work for
the present race" A celebrated New
York lawyer recently said that ..he could
do his years work in ten months but not in
twelve" He saw the need of long vaca-
ton in order to stand the terrible nervous
strain of his important position. In our
Judgment travel relieved OF annoyances is
the ideal way to get rest and change.
In this age Of progress it is said that
prevention is better than cure" and we
believe that the so-called american dis
ease," nervous prostration, can be both
prevented and cured by well directed
travel and recreation. To those living on
the coast trip to the mountains would
give a desired change, while to those
whose place of residence is inland, an
ocean voyage or the beach would better
answer the Indication. In the future more
than in the past will intelligent Americans
be nation of travellers.

The Phoenix's Fairy Tale.

The Brattleboro Phoenix puts in a plea
for the support OF Josiah Circuit by Wind
ham county that the Republicans of that
part of the state will Indignantly resent.
Because, as it alleges, Josiah Grout
''took off his coat and worked for Colonel
Fuller, with the result that every town but
one in Orleans county went to the conven-
ton with Fuller delegates" therefore the
round and ''show their appreciation of
Major CIRCUITS honorable course by giving
him their royal support" The Phoenix is
particular to say that there was no trade or
promise of favors to be returned, but that
it is only natural that the home friends of
Governor Fuller should show their appre-
ciation,n etc, etc. If all this were Just as
the Phoenix puts it, it would be bad enough,
and would amply justify every statement of
arrangement, Of bargain and sale, that
has been made against the Grout canvass
for the governorship. Wndham county
Republicans would rise up in their wrath
and repudiate the contract under VIII Gu
they were bought and sold like the sheep
on their farms.
But how was it about Josiah Grout and
ton of 1892? What assistance did Grout
render Colonel Fullerp Orleans county
held meeting the evening before the con-
vention. The delegation was very far
from being united. 1t was broken into as
many fragments and factions as there were
candidates. Josiah CIRCUITS chance to get
the nomination, in the event of deadlock,
was the main thing. The delegation was
hunting the main chance for Josiah Grout
and hoped and expected to find it in the
hopeless division of the, convention the
next day. About midnight, after every
county had been canvassed and it was clear
that Colonel Fuller had large majority OF
the delegates without Orleans county, then
the Grout faction climbed into the Fuller
band wagon. On the floor of the conven-
ton Theophilus Grout seconded the nomi-
nation of Colonel Fuller, but w. l. Robin
son of Barton, Sin obedience to what he
believed was the sentiment of a majority of
the delegates of Orleans county," seconded
the nomination OF Colonel H. A. Fletcher
of Cavendish. This is how Josiah Grout
'.took off his coat and worked heartily for
Colonel Fuller with the result that every
town but one went to the convention with
Fuller delegates" The Phenix's pretty
tale of ''Josiah CIRCUITS honorable part in
the canvass of 1892" is campaign romance.
Windham county should answer the
Phenix's impu' alton of service rendered
by Grout and reciprocal obligation by Gov
ernor Fuller's ''home friends by send
ing to Burlington solid anti-Grout dele
cation. Montpelier Waterman.

PRESS OPINIONS.
crcditable Performance Not Expected

The Grout canvass has caused a GREAT
amount of hard feeling in the state and has
imperiled the prospects of the Grout family
to a considerable degree. When Josiah
first began to be placed before the people
according to ring program the fear was ex-
pressed that in case of his election he
would appoint his brother U. S. senator
if a vacancy should occur during his term.
This showed that there was, at least among
some of the people, dstrust of the Grout
family which ought to have served as a
warning. But. Josiah promised that he
would not do SO and the work of the ring
went on. Now so great opposition has
developed to the ring program and the
Grout family, its beneficiaries, that there
is believed to be good chance to defeat
Congressman Grout in the contest for nom
nation this year and the attempt is to be
seriously made. The ring announcement
a short time ago, that there would be no
attempt to nominate anyone else, and that
the convention would amount to nothing
more than ratification meeting, appears
to have been premature, like some other
ring announcements over which the state
has not yet ceased smiling. Frank Plum
ley of Mortified, l.. Nj. Read of Bellows
Falls and James l.. Martin Of Brattleboro
are announced as candidates for the non,i-
nation and they will make the hottest kind
of fight tor it. 1t will be pretty three
cornered fight, and the odds are not all in
favor of Grout, though it will be difficult
undertaking to turn him down. The de-
feat of the Circuit family from state politics,
while it would be severe blow to the ring
which hitherto has been all there was to
the Republican organization, would be a
gain for the Republican party and so cred
table performance that we shall not ex-
pect to see it.-Montpelier Argus.
