THE BARRE EVENING TELEGRAM
LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION IN VT.
outside of Burlington.
BARRE. VT, MARCH |. 1900

We most heartily congratulate the
members of the Granite Cutters Union
and the Manufacturers Association
ON the happy settlement of the diff
ferences between them regarding the
new scale of wages, and the spirit of
concession that has characterized all
their deliberations. 1t means more to
this city and to those most interested
than the simple settlement of the bill
of prices. There can be no serious
differences, in the future, SO long as
this spirit dominates all their rela-
tlonS. ~ means harmony and united
effort, in the future, to develop the
great granite interests of Barre, still
in their infancy, to an extent that
their most sanguine friends have never
dared to predict. This city will now
grow and prosper as never before, be-
cause the men and the manufacturers
are working together, in the utmost
harmony of purpose, to make this in
dustry the greatest possible success.
Both sides seem to realize that their
interests are mutual, and that both
Will prosper or fall together. This is
the true foundation upon which to
build, and Greater Barre is nearer re-
alizatlon than ever before. Now let
us all work and pull together for the
best interests Of the best city in the
best state in the union.

Chairman Mclaughlin will issue a for
NAL call early this week for meeting
of the Peoples party state committee
in this city. The meeting will be held
July IA, at which time II is expected
that the Democratic and Silver Republi-
can state committees will be assembled
here for purposes OF consultation. The
Democrats have taken the initiative In
calling the joint meeting. with the con-
fessed purpose of endeavoring, X posi-
BILE. to have a point call issued for a
union convention to nominate fusion
ticket under the banner of Democracy.
Fortified by the resolutions passed by
the Tacoma convention of Populists last
party state committee. a majority OF
whom, It is said, are opposed TO the
governor. WIFI vigorously combat any
Rogers proposition which may be sprung
at the joint conference. July IA, and Will
in particular stand out against any move
to dispense with separate party primaries
and county conventions. ,,. .. .,s
action taken by the state convention at
Tacoma, a number OF embryonic booms
for the fusion nomination alto, FOR governor nor
midable from a Populistic point OF view
is that of Neil Cheatham. at present state
auditor. A very diplomatic letter from
Mr.. Cheatham was read at the Tacoma
convention, in which the state auditor
expressed the hope that whatever was
done would rebound TO- to the ,era eensht M OF
Il
Cheatham's letter was distinctly against
the abandonment of the Peoples party
organization and name.
Clark Davis strong opposition to the
Rogers clique in the convention caused
many delegates after adjournment Thurs
suitable candidate. Mr.. Davis occupies
an interesting position with regard to
Gov Rogers. In 1897 he was defeated
for United States senator because OF an
alliance between Senator Turner and
Gov. Rogers. resulting in the election of
the former. After the Legislature ad-
journed Gov. Rogers appointed Mr.. Davis
the state university, and he was subse-
quently elected registrar OF the univer-
sity by regents appointed by Gov. Rog-
ers. Under such circumstances Populist
politicians are at loss to understand
the hostile position taken by Mr.. Davis
regarding the governor
The problem which the anti-Rogers
Populists will try to solve Is how to
bring about the nomination OF a King
county Populist. with two Democratic
aspirants for the fusion nomination for
congress in the field from this county.
This question is one bearing on the can
didacy of Mr. Davis as well as that of
Van r. Pierson, of Columbia, who has
lately been urged to enter the race.
That the Goodwin faction of the King
county Democracy has determined TO
combine with the anti-Rogers Populists
Is being made certain by the late devel-
opments In fusion political circles
II. H. Kulies. supporter OF Mr.. Goodwin
in the late delegateship contest. said yes
terday:
II am opposed TO the denomination of
Gov Rogers. I DO not believe he will
have any considerable following among
Democrats. l am for any one but him."

CRIME NOT GRAND LARCENY

Money Merely Nominal Under

a charge OF grand larceny committed in

Walter s. Fulton. until recently deputy
under Prosecuting Attorney McElroy,
that office in the role of q defender of the
alleged criminals. He raised the point
that although the statute defining the
crime of larceny states specifically that
written instruments of the nature OF the
receipt alleged TO have been stolen by
Mansfield and Davis may be the subjects
how the question OF their value should
be determined. and that therefore the
court must have recourse to the COM
mon law, which is that such papers have
a value only nominal; that Is to say, the
value of mere blank paper.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hart
took the ground that It was the plain
intention OF the statute to make the
value of stolen written instruments OF
the nature Of tho one in question their
face value. and that. therefore, the crime
committed was grand larceny and not
