JOHN E. HENDERSON.
Bar IIarbor, Sept. IS
This is fine scheme from some anti
administration points of view; but It Will
not work. The democrats will not take
Dewey, and he would rot take their nomi-
nation. COL Bryan holds a mortgage on
the nomination of his party. 1t is as GER
tain TO go to hi n as it is that he will live
till the convention meets. The democratic
PARTY as a whole will not abandon the
heresy of free silveC. 1t may subordinate
it to other issues, in order to reclaim the
gold democrats; but it will not repudiato
It or fail to work it for all it is worth in
the silver States. If Bryan were out Of
the way the democrats would not want
Dewey. They know that they could not
use him. il he We're President.
AS for George Dewey he is a sailor and
not politiciar. He has said with entire
candor and plainness, that his tastes and
training have not fitted him for political
office, or for the cares and responsibilities
of state, and that his name is not to be
considered in connection with the nomina-
ton of any political rarty. Senator Heu-
derson's eulogy of him is truthful and just
The senator's appreciation of Neimo MT
statesmen will be pleasing to all Vermont
ers; but some name other than George
Dewey's will have to be selected with
which to divide the republican party and
enable the democrats TO resume control of
the government.

AID FOR PORTO RICO.
Gov. Smith Writes In Relation to the
Solicitation of Funds.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

To the Editor of the Free Press;
The secretary OF war again apeals to
the people of the country for money or
supplies to feed the great number of des-
titute people in Porto Rico, and he eX-
presses the hope that the efforts of the
people of this State to that end will not
be relaxed.
!, therefore, again urge upon the daily
and also the weekly newspapers of this
State to bring the matter before their sub
scrbers in as forcible a manner as pos
sible, and solicit additional subscriptions
for the charitable end in view.
1t will be impossible to raise any con-
siderable amount of money unless the pa
pers are willing to take hold of the mat
ter vigorously, and keep it before the pub
lie. May ask you to do this? Any mon
ey that is collected may be sent TO me d.
rect, or forwarded to the National bank
of North America. New York city for the
Porto Rico Relief Fund for credit to the
State of Vermont.

buted.-Editor Free Press.

there he had an opportunity to rebuke
q fellow Grand Army veteran, and at

grounds when he met Representative

in conversation with a man whose every
move and whose dress proclaimed him
to be making a visit to the large city

hamlet where he had little chance to

A fruit dealer. Saturday, had a sign,
so it is alleged, that did not accom-
plish its purpose. The sign in very bad
writing said Hands Off" and it was
placed on some choice TOkay grapes.
The first man who came along stopped
ard attempted to read the sign and he
began TO realize there We're some nice
grapes, 50 he tried ore at the same
time asking the dealer what the sign
was. This was all right. but when
the sign had attracted the attention of
several and they had each tasted the
grapes. the dealer decided it was bet
ter to trust to the honesty of the peo-
pie than to attract their attention and
arouse their cupidity. He lost less of
the pulpy grapes than when. the sign
told the people. or attempted to tell
them. to keep their hands off.
