Ross for Governor.

The Rutland News trots out new
candidate for the next governor of Yer
mont, the Hon. Jonathan Ross. The
contemporary wants Judge Ross seat in
the senate cleared for Congressman Grout,
and yet does not want any indlgnity
offered Hon. Ross. 1t does not hesitate,
b owever, to heap contumely upon the head
of the gentleman from Ludlow. 1t says
"The selection of Judge Ross to the
governorship would be happy solution
of several problems. 1t would provide a
governor Of vastly superior talents to the
one as yet most prominently mentioned.
A host of Vermonters do not care to see
the highest office within the gift of this
people descend to mediocre man, man
of clerical rather than executive ability,
an attorney of railroad interests
Notwithstanding all the nonsense afoat
about the railroad attorney, it is perfectly
safe to wager that Hon. Ross chances of
remaining in the senate rather than being
chosen governor are ten to one, and that
is not saying that his hold on the seat in
the senate is cinch.

The GA. R. Encampment.

The report of Thomas j Steward, adju-
tant-general, says that the total member
ship of the Grand Army in good standing
June so, 1898, was 1918 posts, with a
membership of 3O5, ,603; on December 81,
1898, IT'S posts, with a membership Of
$685. TAT, and on June 80, 1899, 6905 posts,
with membership of 2S7,9S1. Expend-
ed in relief during the year $3.50, ,955.64.
The year 1890 was the high water mark
in membership (409, ,4S9. Every year
since then has shown decrease, and it is
not likely that any year in the future will
show gain over losses, although enough
comrades and shipmates of the army and
navy Of the civil war period yet remain to
make such thing possible Each year
shows an increasing death rate among the
membership. Surely, the Grand Army is
marching into the shadows.

THE FAIR.
The fine weather was taken advantage
of by about 5000 people to attend the fair
the fifth and sixth. The attendance the
last day is said to have been the largest in
the history of the association. The exhibit
of cattle was especially large and complete
and included some very fine thoroughbred
DAIRY stock. Most breeders here prefer
the middle wool sheep, as Shropshire or
their grades, and there were some fine
pens of them on exhibition, also some
choice merinos shown by F. F. Piper and
N. 2. White. In poultry there were over
200 coops of the various breeds from
pigeons and bantams to the great Asiatic
Langshang; also good exhibit Of pet
stock.
In vegetables, Gill Brothers had the
largest exhibit, rs varieties of potatoes
and many kinds Of squashes, cabbages,
etc. Frank Toliver was second in number
with SO varieties of potatoes, % of beans
and variety OF other kinds. In fruit the
show was small as this is an eff year.
In Mechanics hall the space was filled,
some exhibits advertised failed to
arrive; why, is not understood by those in
charge, In the floral hall were an endless
variety of elegant fancywork in lace, en-
broidery, and painting, and in pieced work
there were quilts Of silk and cotton which
were very fine, also some rugs equal to
imported in design and finish.
The automobile advertised for the fair
did not materialize owing to the inability
OF the manufacturers to fill the contract for
the same to DR.. Stickney OF Newport as
agreed upon.

John M. Southwick of Claremont took a
novel way to commit suicide. He was last
seen alive May 25. After that he dropped
out of sight and search completely. The
woods were searched and ponds and rivers
dragged, but all to no purpose. A clair
voyant was employed who proved as much
ofa fake as the rest of her profession.
She thought the body would be found in a
thicket, but not dead by suicide. Last
week Monday Edward Mclaughlin went
to the pine woods north Of Claremont and
discovered Southwick's body in tree 80
feet from the ground. 1t was tied to the
trunk of the tree by cord. There was a
bullet hole in the head, and an old army
pistol on the ground beneath.
