Here is what he is quoted as having said in
his speech of acceptance: II am heartily

standpoint. Prohibition is perfect farce
The whole thing is hypocrisy from begin

Congress recently voted to present Ad-
mlral Dewey with a memorial sword
Many beautiful designs were submitted to
the committee having the matter in charge,
but the one selected was from Tiffany e.
Co., of New York. The design, it is
sad, is less ornate than some of the others.
Its marked characteristics is its simple and
solid elegance. The hilt of the sword. as
submitted, showed an eagles
head, but this was changed to plain and
solid, but highly traced, gold handle. The
blade is "damascened," being subjected to
that process by which the famous Damas-
Gus blades were made. One side of the
blade bears the inscription, ''The gift of
the nstion to Rear Admiral George Dew
ey, U. S. NJ, in memory of the victory at
Manila Bay, May 1, 1885, The scabbard
is Of dark blue damascened metal, with
racery in gold.

Working for Plumley.

The following is from the Mortified
News, the home paper of the Hon. Frank
Plumley.
The Brattleboro correspondent of the
Springfield Republican is responsible for
the statement that plans are already being
of the Hon. l. M. Reed Of Bellows Falls
two years hence. The statement is hardly
credible, but if such is really the case the
scheme must be confined to two or three of
Mr.. Reeds indiscreet friends. 1t will be
remembered in Mr.. Reeds canvass this
year that the night before the convention
his managers were hunting around to find
some person on whom they could confer
the doubtful honor of his candidacy with
the view of withdrawal on his part, If
there is anyone who seriously contemplates
placing Mr.. Reed in the field again, it is
suggested in all kindness, that the first
thing to be done is to find some one who
will agree to shoulder his candidacy the
night previous to the next congressional
convention. .1
Commenting on these observations the
Rutland Herald says:
Is this written with thought of the pos
sible candidacy of Frank Pumley, better
known as the Talking Terror of Dog River
Valley? In any event the HERALD is
ready to bet a peck Of butternuts that if
Judge Read runs against Grout in 1900,
Grout will stay at home with dull thud."
His victory last June was distinctly of the
fatal sort. L esaa

This has been a great week for Clare
mont, that is from musical point Of view.
The musical convention filled the village
with strangers, and the special features OF
the program and the chorus of 200 voices
furnished diversion and entertainment for
all.
The democrats of Montpelier have nom-
mated G. A. G. Jackson for city represen-
tative in the legislature. Mr.. Jackson is
also the democratic nominee for congress
man from the second Vermont district. In
case of his election to both these offices,
what will poor jackson do? 1t would be
more honor than even Jacksonian demo-
crat can stand up under.
Here is an instance Of military humanity
that will not be relished, especially by peo-
pie in the north. A Chattanooga dispatch
reads as follows: GA negro peddler was
stoned to death by soldiers Wednesday
and two others we're injured, one of whom
will probably die. The murder was the
result of trouble between an officer and the
negro and resolution on the part of the
men in camp to clean out the negroes"

OF the war offered the government large

necessary expenses, has now given furthe'
proof of her patriotism and generosity b!

Relief association, of which she is an activ,
member. The money is to be used for th'
purchase of supplies for the camp at Mon
tauk and other camps where the association
is working.
