Obituary.

Aforementioned into rest, at Berlin,
April %, 1896, Berton c., eldest son of A.
G. and Cora Andrews, aged nineteen years
and nine months. Berton was a very quiet,
unobtrusive young man, of mild and gen.
tie disposition. Though always ready to
do his work wherever found, yet his chief
delight was in the home circle, where he
was ever kind and obliging. The display
of flowers, among which was beautiful
floral Offering from his Sabbath-school class,
Of which he was a loved and valued mem.
Der, testified to the esteem in which he was
held. In his death the family loses kind
and loving son and brother and the town
an honest, upright young man. To the be-
reaved family We would echo the sweet
words of the poet:
Let us be patenti These severe Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the mists and vapors;
Amid these earthly damps,
What seems to us but sad, funereal tapers
May be Heavens distant lamps.
There Is no DEATH What seems so Is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call Death. l. Fl. s.

COnundrums,

The Barton Monitor obstreperously
proposes series of Conundrums to the
WATCHMAN relating to the railway
commission law, why it has not been
repealed and why Mr.. Stickney has not
wiped it out? Our phlegmatic contem-
porary should keep up with the process
sion. The ground has all been covered
in the discussions in the WATCHMAN.
IL there were time and there were rea-
son, it could be gone over again, with
greater elaboration and with kindergar-
ten appliances, to make it clear to the
fat-witted interrogation. But, as the
WATCHMAN said in a former issue
"The law itself is not now on trial. 1t
is Josiah Grout, the candidate for gov
ernor, the man who constituted the
railway committee of 1886 in manifest
disregard of the public demand, and
who is primarily responsible for this
legislative fiasco." The Monitor can
not now obscure this issue by trying to
kick up dust about matters that are
not in issue. In respect of this whole
matter, and of the Monitors statements
in general, we!may add that the news
paper editor who declared that it was
impossible at this date to say what the
public demand was in 1886, in matter
upon which the county conventions
were passing strong resolutions and
swearing senatorial candidates, upon
which republicans and democrats in
state convention passed emphatic reso-
lutions, and which was, next to the re-
election of Senator Edmunds, the DOM
mating issue of the canvass, is not to
be credited in any statement he may
make in respect of public affairs or
opinions. He has no standing in court.
He is utterly discredited. He is not
struck dead physically, but morally he is
deader than his ancient prototype.

A Pointer.

Speaker Stickney has the cordial support
OF the republicans of Windsor county for
the nomination for governor at the hands of
the convention to be called 10 name candi-
dates for state officers, and any effort to
drag ex-Lieutenant Governor Fletcher into
the field to weaken the former will signally
fail. The county has stood by the ex-
presiding officers of the senate in the past
with unquestioned loyalty. 1t will now
stand by the present speaker with the same
unwavering firmness. Under the circum-
stances no friend of Mr. Fletcher will advo-
cate his nomination at this time, and it Is
especially noticeable that suggestions of his
candidacy emanate frsm sources more than
suspected to be favoring the candidacy OF
the ex.speaker from Derby. This in itself
is confession of weakness Of candidacy on
the part Of the latter's friends and pointer
to Mr.. Stickney's constantly-increasing
strength. Windsor Journal.

Mr.. CLEvELAND's kindergarten, called by
courtesy his cabinet is in state of terror.
Hilary Herbert is in disgrace and Hockey
Smith is afraid that it will be his turn next
Hilary's disgrace was brought about by his
having given Pedagogue Cleveland false re-
ports as to the condition OF affairs at his
home. He told Mr.. Cleveland that the free
silver democrats OF Alabama were more
noisy than numerous, and that the recent
primaries would show the state overwhelm-
ingly for sound money. He's sorry now he
told that, and he won't forget the half hour
he spent with Mr.. Cleveland after it became
known that the silver democrats had cap
tured the state, bag and baggage. Hockey
Smith has brought the same report about
Georgia, and, according to ex-Speaker
Crisp and other silver democrats, they will
be found to be no more trustworthy than
those Of Hilary Herbert. Mr.. Cleveland is
just beginning to realize that the silver
democrats are much more likely to control
the Chicago convention than he is, and the
realization hasn't added to his amiability.

Opening the Campaign,

The assembling of the representa-
tives of the republicans of Vermont
or, what is the same thing, the people
of Vermont,-at the state capital to-day,
is more than the meeting Of a political
body to choose delegates to national
convention for the nomination of can
didates for president and vice-president.
1t marks the opening of the national
canvass in Vermont. This state is the
first 10 hold an election after the great
political parties have declared their
principles and put their candidates in
the field This election is held two
months before the great body of the
states vote. The canvass here is made
and ends before the battle for suprem-
acy in November begins in the other
states, save the sister New England
state of Maine, which closely follows
Vermont. So the campaign here be-
gins correspondingly early, and till sun
set of the first Tuesday in September is
conducted with vigor and earnestness
and determination that bear no proper
ton to the danger that Vermont may for
swear republicanism, or to the size and
importance OF Vermont's electoral vote,
if, indeed, the electoral vote were the
issue of the September election. That
election is, in fact, purely state affair,
but the pillar of cloud by day and of fire
by night that fixes the eye of every
voter and guides him to the polls is the
national cause.
The Vermont election, in the year of
a national canvass, is the first formal
expression of public opinion upon the
dominant questions of national politics.
The expression is arithmetical, under
legal forms, in election returns that are
not sentiment or buncombe, but stub
born facts. The significance of the
expression is in the size of the popular
majority; and the magnitude of the nu-
merals that indicate the fervor and
constancy of Vermont's adherence to
republican principles is the measure of
the hope and encouragement she sends
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-04-29
to embatted republicanism all over the

to embattled republicanism all over the
nation.
So the meetings of yesterday and to-
day, here in Vermont's capital, have
larger importance than would attach to
them merely as assemblages for formu-
lating the state political creed, electing
delegates to national convention, or
developing local preference for this or
that candidate. Distinguished speakers
from outside the state have been here
to expound and REINFORCE the princi-
pies of republication, to kindle the
fires into which shall be cast the strange
gods for which this nation went
awhoring four years ago, and which
have brought upon all this people a
curse and incalculable woes. Here
shall the fires of hope for ruined indus
tries, PROSTATE business and impover-
ished labor be rekindled. 1t will be a
far cry to the time when the full frui-
ton of these hopes shall be resped, but
courage will come with the mastering
and organizing of the forces of relief.
With victory assured, with the comfort
ing knowledge that the days of base
and degenerate democracy masquerade
ing in the places of statesmen are num-
bered, and that real statesmen, having
the gift, the experience, the patriotism
of real statesmen, will be restored to all
the seats of power, the process of recu-
peration will begin. Restored courage
and confidence regained in all the ranks
of trade and commerce and domestic
industry will wait on the actions of the
law-making and executive branches Of
the government, and when these shall
have completed the measures that must
precede the organized movement fol-
the recovery of that magnificent ma
tional prosperity that was wrecked -four
years ago, the bugles will sound and
the grand advance will begin in earnest
Vermont heads to-day the relief col
umn. Sedgewick's historic order has
become trite by repetition, and has moi
always been employed in glorious con
nection. "Put the Vermonters ahead
and keep the ranks well closed up" hal
never in civil affairs been given a more
fitting application than to the politica
conflict now opening. The Vermonter'
will be the foot cavalry" of this cam
paign. They will set the marching
pace for the other republican states o.
the Union, and those that ought to b.
republican, and if the political leader
obey the spirit of the lamented soldier
order there will be no gaps in the re
publican lines, on the third of Novem
Der, from ocean to ocean and from tn
lakes far down toward the gulf, into tn
Egypt of democracy.

Congressional Proceedings.

SATURDAY, April 25.-In the senate Mr..
Sherman of Ohio asked unanimous consent

distilling OF brandy from fruits, with the
finance committee amendment repeating the
section OF the tariff law which provides re-
bate OF the tax on alcohol used in the arts
and in medicine Mr.. PETER OF Kansas OBJ

formal motion to take 1t up, He said 1t was
OF the highest Importance that action on the
matter should be taken at this session. but
he was willing to wait until after the sundry
civil appropriation bill should be out of the
way If there could be an understanding to
that effect. Mr.. Sherman's request gave
rise to quite debate, and was finally re-
fused by vote OF twenty-seven to twenty
two. Consideration OF the suudry civil
appropriation bill was then resumed.

DISPATCHES to the newspapers at Madrid

DISPATCHES to the newspapers at Madrid
from Havana state that General Gonzales,
who sailed from Manzanillo, Spain. with a
large force, landed near Fort Zanya and
marched to the relief of that place The
fort had been besieged for five days by
$500 rebels under Rabi, whose guns were
served by Americans. When General Con
zales relieved the fort its garrison was in a
desperate plight. The. supply of water was
running short and their stores had been
burned. Three times they had been sum-
moned to surrender, but each time they re-
fused. According to the dispatch, which
comes from official sources, only eight OF
the defenders of the fort were wounded
while on the first day of the siege thirty
three rebels were killed

Among the Contemporaries.

We have been an interested observer
Of the tone and style Of comment of the
state press in the pending canvass, par
ticularly in that somewhat suspiciously
large fraction, whose members, one by
one, have proclaimed their enlistment
in Farmer CIRCUITS corn-stalk brigade.
To reproduce these comments in the
WATCHMAN, or any considerable part
OF them, would be impossible; and, in
deed, it would be very largely work of
supererogation, for, thanks to a we'll
filled barrel and Uncle Sans liberal
postal laws, permitting the importation
into this part of the effete East OF the
methods that have made Oklahoma a
synonym of wild and woolly enterprise,
that were successfully employed in ex-
plotting in New England the fortunes
of the Baptist University of Grand
Island, Neb., and that have given to
"Scarff's Addition" at Burlington a
euphonious name if not local habita-
ton, these interesting productions have
been scattered over the state, "thick as
leaves in Vallambrosa strewn"; and
such as are of sufficient size and shape
and are unobjectionable on sanitary
grounds-are now doing homely but
useful duty on the buttery shelves of
Vermont's thrifty housewives.
Nevertheless, at this vernal period,
when the yeoman OF Clyde-side" is 30
assiduously plunging the ploughshare
into the stubborn glebe'' of state pol
itics, some Of the things turned up lead
to reflection. The Burlington Nsws,
for example, paper which is frantic
ally devoted to fifty per cent hori-
zontal reduction of state expenditures,
and to the candidacy of Farmer Grout,
who has steadily defended and voted
for what the contemporary denounces
as "the squandering of the peoples
hard-earned money!" is alarmed by the
rising tide of revolt against it's adde's
cent adherence, :" the old rounders,''
and is shouting for an early conven-
ton" for the nomination of state off.
GERS. Why not put the whole business
into the hands of the state convention
that meets to-day-provided, of course
the Ne,os has confidence that a majority
could now be counted for Grout? The
idea would be lucid and rational com.
pared with the vagaries that hold high
carnival in the contemporaries cerebral
garnet. If the coast seems to be clear
let the convention settle every high
matter of state politics for the next two
years. Delays are dangerous. "Gov.
ernor :" Grout could be relieved of EN-.
barrassment in the contingent matter OF
a senatorial vacancy by directing him to
appoint certain one of my brothers.;

Lavish Use OF Money"

In the canvass for the republican nomina-
ton to the governorship, which has been
going on for so ne time, with Mr.. Stickney
and Mr.. Grout as the leading candidates, 1t
is evident that within few days Mr.. Grout
has gained in the race by the addition to
his forces of the purchasable press and OF
active workers throughout the state who
are known as dispensers of money to pack
caucuses or control elections. OF the candi-
dates named Mr.. Stckney is, we think, the
more populer with the people, but we do not
expect him to succeed in the canvass in the
face of lavish use Of money by his oppo.
