Some idea of the interest prevailing with
reference to the visit Of President Mckin-
ley to Boston on the occasion of the an
nual banquet of the Home Market club
that Secretary Albert Clarke has been
obliged to disappoint about 20o0 persons
who applied for tickets. 1t is stated that
circulars are to be issued to the disap-
pointed ones and that the money which
they RENTED for seats will be returned
together with copies of this circular. 1t
is estimated that the club will be able to
entertain 1894 guests, so that the dinner
of February 1G will be by far the largest
in the history of the organization.

Present indications are that the effort
to secure the annual encampment of the
Grand Army of Vermont at Montreal,
where there is a small post attached to
cess. If the invitation is accepted the
encampment will be unique as the first
ever held on foreign soil. The Canadian
and the Vermonter are now plainly closer
together even than they were when the
fathers of Vermont were temporarily ne
gotiating with the British for annexation,
as a matter of self-preservation.

The private secretary of our new United
States senator informs the public that
Eenator Ross has thus far voted right on
every question in the Senate. This is
gratifying intelligence; but perhaps after
all no moro than might have reasonably
been expected. OF course it must be so,
"for he himself or his private secretary,
hath said it."
