Bloomington, Ills, September 25th,
1900
ITO Hon. j. B. Weaver, Hon. ]. A..
Edgerton and Hon. ]. H. Edmiston, Com
mittee of Notification:
"Gentlemen: By your communication
of September 5th, / am officially advised
of my selection as the candidate of the
Peoples party for the office of Vice.
President of the United States, to fill the
vacancy upon your ticket occasioned by
the resignation of Charles A. Towne.
81 cannot too earnestly express my ap-
probation of this manifestation of the
confidence reposed in me by your COM
mittee and the great constituency you
represent Nor can I withhold the ex-
preston of my admiration for the gener-
Gus action of Mr.. Towne in. his endeavor
to secure the harmonious cooperation
of all the supporters of Mr.. Bryan in tie
pending Presidential contest.
1.-THE acton of the Peoples party in
selecting candidates outside Of it's own
organization is almost without precedent
in our political history. The explanation
is found in your own candid declaration:
The members of the Peoples party in all
sections reelize that we have reached a
criss in which the. very life of free iu-
stitutions is involyed--a crisis in which
mere party considerations are of second
airy Importance and should be laid aside
until the peril is averted'
'sUpon the important questions OF II
nacce, of domestic administration and of
reform in our methods of taxation the
platform of the Peoples party gives no
uncertain sound
"It is no less emphatic in its demand
for a return to the policy of honest and
eco-orcieal expenditures of the public
money. The further demand for wise and
efficient legislation looking to the sup
preston Of trusts cannot fail to chal-
lenge the attention of, all thoughtful men.
ssIn common, however, with the Silver
Ret,ublican and the Democratic parties,
Won recognize the important fact that all
these are but questions of the hour. In
the presence of the overshadowing issue
of Imperialism, others are but as the dust
in the balance. 1t is not strange then
shat there should be concert of action be-
tween those who sincerely believe that a
crisis he's been reached in which mere
party considerations are of secondary I'M
Dortance.'

OBSTINATE JURORS.
A Case in Which One Determined Ma n
Made Eleven Think as
He Did.

There was a 'hold-up" in the jury
room of the court of common pleas in
this city u few days ago, says the
Hartford Comm Courant. A jury,
which had been out 43 minutes, re-
turned Il verdict for the plaintiff to
recover damages of $25 and costs.
After the verdict had been accepted,
one of the jurymen said that when
the first ballot was taken eight of the
jurors voted in favor of the defendant
and four for the plaintiff. A later bal
lot resulted in II votes being cast for
the defendant and one for the plain
tiff The jurors We're in a hurry to
get home and the II who voted for the
defendant endeavored to persuade the
other juror to turn with them. This
he refused to do and he stated en-
phatically that he would hold out if it
caused disagreement or kept the
jury out all night.
The one man was evidently stronger
than the II who We're against him.-Ile
held to his position, and finally s,c-
ceeded in bringing the II over, with
the final result that verdict was
agreed upon for the plaintiff to recoy-
err S@o and costs. The IL jurors who
turned would not divulge the name of
the juror who stood out for the p,air.

lists. which proves the old saying true
that "lightning does not strike TWICE
in the same place.
If IS wise to retire with the Dest
honors and let some one else win IN
the race of competition.
The writer calls to mind the expert
once of score or more of years ago,
when there was no state aid, and only
a limited number of prizes were offer
ed by manufacturers of dairy appara-
tus for butter. Prominent among
these we're churns-as this was before
creameries had an eXistence-and
few will remember how Judge Abner
Stone of Westford, used to stake these
in" getting two, | believe, in one
year.
The long list of exhibits ranging
between 90 and 81 points is worth
reading and is good evidence in proof
that there are lot of good butter
makers in Vermont, and most assur-
edlv the number must be steadily in
creasing. Well, that is what we
should expect and work for.
1T is noticeable that Pomfret does
not calculate to be left out of the lists
as at least there were ten entries from
this enterprising dairy town. This is
good. Keep up the oldtime record for
enterprise and success.
While the exhibits of cheese were
small in comparison with those of but
ter. it is noticeable that the quality
was excellent, going half point
higher than the best butter in the
score. Vermont dairymen can make
fine cheese. There is no mistake
about this, and it would seem that
much more of it should be made, as at
present prices it is a profitable branch
of farming, rather more so than that
of butter.
To make the most of these two
products and of the best possible quail
ity should be the aim of Vermont
dairymen.
