of the present admi nistratlon and its
measures. To these it will be the
privilege of the republic aus of Ver-
mont to give their first emphatic ap-
proval in the fall elections, thereby
inspiring other States to the full per-
formance of their duty, as the ringing
voice from the Vermont hills has SO
often done in the past, when voters
elsewhere have seemed to falter upon
national issues o. vital Importance to
the republic.
I must therefore decline to be re-
garded as a candidate, or to throw
any obstacle in the way of entire
harmony in the party. IN taking this
course I wish to assure my friends
throughout the State that am in no
sense ungratelul to them for their
confidence and proffered support,

war with her will not be play. This
country's resources are almost limit
less but we are not prepared for war
as we should be. During the past few
months everything possible has been
done to strengthen our coast defences
and to get our army and navy on a
war footing; men have been sent
abroad to purchase war ships but we
have learned that such vessels are not
to be found at moments notice and
our navy has not been strengthened
very much in this way. Although
some of the countries Of Europe sym
pathize with us they do not know at
what moment they may be engaged in
war themselves and consequently will
not part with their means of defense.
Germany is showing an inclination to
help Spain if possible, and if she
should do this it would be likely to
bring on European war. Realizing
as they do what such a thing would
mean, the countries of Europe have
addressed note to both this country
and Spain in the interests of peace.
If war should come the people of
the country will be united as one man
in the support of the President. The
democrats in Congress have united
with the republicans on all measures
looking for the best interests of the
country, and although few congress
men have wante d to force the hand
of the President the majority have
stood by him and will to the end.

The State papers have been discus
sing the Governor question for some
time. Two good men, Gen. J. G. Nc
Cullough of Bennington and Col. E.
G. Smith of st. Adams, have been in
the field, but Gen. Mccullough has
written the following letter to the
Free Press refusing to allow his name
to be used longer in connection with
this office:
Hall Farm, No. Bennington, VT,
April 4, 1898.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
My Dear Sir-My name has been
mentioned frequently during the past
few months as candidate at the
coming convention for the republican
nomination for the high Office of gov
ernor of Vermont; and 1 have receiv-
ed many assurances of support from
leading republicans in all parts of the
State, such as would justify me in ex-
pecting the nomination. My position
from the first has been that if it
should come to me with reasonable
approach to unanimity in the conven
tion and with general approval among
the people, | should esteem it a high
honor and should gratefully accept it.
But l am not willing to engage in
an unseemly contest, such as appears
now to be probable. lido not think
that a struggle of that sort, as it
might come to be conducted, would
be creditable to the State or benefi-
ciaI to the republican party; more
especially in the present year, when
the country is confronted by some of
the gravest and most perplexing
problems in it's history, and when it
is most important that the party
should be strongly united in support

TRIAL OF MILDRED BREWSTER.

When the case of the State against
Mildred Brewster was called in the
Washington county court Monday
afternoon every available seat was
occupied and the aisles were crowded
with men and women, anxious to get
sight of the respondent, and to wit
ness the preliminary work of polling
the jury The fifty additional jurors
who had been summoned were first
called and sworn and the witness oath
was then administered to the seventy
eight jurors present. Shortly before
two o'clockMissBrewst was brought
from the Jail by Sheriff Collins and
taken inside the bar where a rocking
chair had been provided for her. She
sat during the afternoon surrounded
by her counsel, apparently taking
little interest in the proceedings.
Wesley @. Brewster, her devoted
father, sat beside her, and his sad,
kindly face made a strong bid for
sympathy. States Attorney Howland
and Judge q. S. Stanton have charge
of the case for the state while w. A.
Lord, Frank Plumley and F. p. Carle-
ton represent the defendent. Each
juror called into the box was sub
jected to arigid examination by coun-
sci on both, sides. When court ad-
journeds for the day at five O'Clock,
eighteen men had been examined, ten
of whom had been excused for cause.
1t is impossible to predict what the
length of the trial will be. There are
about $50 witnesses, several of them
experts, and if the trial goes through
to its close it is safe to say that May 1
will not see it completed. 1t is un-
derstood that the defence will not
deny the shooting, but that the battle
will be fought along other lines.

LAST WEEK OF STRIKE.

The twelfth week of the cloth mill
strike, breaks the record in the point
OF labor endurance in New Bedford.
The longest previous strike in that
city lasted eleven weeks, and instead
of involving nine thousand operatives
as the present one has done, the num-
Der was only few hundreds, and the
loss to the city was proportionally
less. There are indications that the
twelfth week will be the last of the
strike. The manufacturers have de-
termined to make an effort to run
their mills this week, basing their de-
termination on the knowledge that
many of the operatives will go to
work if they can have chance.
What will aid materially in reduc-
ing the situation is the action of the
retail merchants and marketmen at
the ends of the city, who have deter
mined, after today, to sell for cash
only, and to cut off the credit which
some of them have been giving to the
strikers. In doing this the merchants
feel that they are doing no more than
justice to themselves, and while many
of them would have preferred a course
which would have pei mitted them to
retain more pleasant relations with
their customers, they have been
forced into it by the wholesalers, who
do not propose to take any more
risks, and who, in turn, will sell to the
retailers for cash only.
So far as the spinners are concerned
it is doubtful if they are affected by
the situation, inasmuch as they have
not been obliged to go very deep into
their treasury, which is sufficiently
large to prolong the fight for year
longer. But with the other classes of
operators the situation has become
extreme. With the help from the
unions and the aid received from the
strike council collectors they have
been continually running behind, and
had it not been for the credit of the
stores there would have been much
more hunger than has already been
endured. Now, with the prospect of
losing what assistance that credit has
for them to do but submit to the in
evitable. The French priests have
advised their parishioners that no
more aid would be given by the
churches to the strikers, and therefore
they must look out for themselves
HI Slo |, \ IL
SO many words to return to work,
they might as we'll have done so, and
that is the way the operatives under
stood them.
When the strike began it was esti-
mated that the loss in wages to the
strikers was $75, 200 per week, which
brings the total wage loss up to $685.
600 fer the eleven weeks A liberal
estimate of the collections from all
sources for this period is $25, 900,
which leaves a loss Of at least $780,
600. This loss, coupled with the losses
which Np@ Bedford has suffered from
various causes during the past year,
has sadly crippled the city and there
is a demand on nearly all sides for an
END Of h strike. The only opposi-
tion is II lie to come from the labor

There is apparently no chance for
an armistice in Cuba and the Cubans
are not to be blamed for not wanting
it, for the rainy season is near and
can do them no harm. They would
be foolish, indeed, to grant an armis-
tice during this season SO as to allow
Spain to recuperate and be ready for
them when the rainy season is over.
If this country intervenes we can sup
ply the Insurgents with arms and am
munition and they will be likely to
give good account of themselves in
their encounters with the Spanish
troops on the Island.

A THREATENED STORM.
Vigorous Protest Against the QuaraerIns
OF Cuban Troops at Lfssie Rock
Grounds OF Objection.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 2s.-Lieut. j..
W. Phillips, commandant at Fort
Logan H. Root, received "a telegram
last night from the war department.
notifying him that detachment from
the Twenty-ifth infantry would be
sent to this station to do garrison
duty. This information has created
a sensation among citizens generally,
and caused a stir which threatens to
develop into storm.
The trouble is on account of the
fact that the soldiers designated
for duty here are negroes, and
beyond doubt strong protest will
be entered with the war department
by the state authorities and citizens
against the occupation of the post by
colored troops. The protest viii not
be based entirely upon hostility to the
negro, but on the feeling prevailing
in view of the recent troubles at south
ern camps against placing negroes in
a position where clashes with the
whites are likely to occur. Gov.
Jones, in speaking of the matter last
night, said that he considered the
sending of the negro troops here an
exceedingly unwise thing to do, and
declared that he would certainly
demonstrate with the federal authori-
ties and protest against it to the war

him, but received three balls from a.
revolver in the hands of Goldston, who's
was behind door. The convict ese
capped, and, although the town turned
out to hunt him, he had not BEEN
found up to midnight. If he is cap
tured lynching is sure to FOLLOW.
Warnock was very popular and known
all over the state. He ran for mayor

ago was a democratic leader in state.
