BY EDWARD 6. DANA.

Vermont journalism will lose a
very strong pen il the retirement of
Charles ii. Davenport from the
Brattlchoro Rcformer means that he
is to leave the state to labor else
where. with a very thorough
knowledge OF Vermont and Yer.
mont politics, independent and fear
less. he has had the courage and
ability to speak freely at all times,
and for the enlightenment of al who
read.
There has been some we'll
grounded fear that Hon. John Bar
rctt, cN-lninistcr to Siam and the
Far East in general, might want to
come back to Vermont and stand
for the governorship. Everything
he writcs-and he writes continu-
ously ahd at lcngth--is spread over
the state from end to end. but he
has been talking too much; the
loyal Republican press is turning
against him. He was invited to the
Fish and Game League meeting, and
of course came. But previous to
this notable roundup he turned HIM
self loose to the Washington news
paper men and, it is asserted, UNI
loaded lot of miscellaneous and
misleading information us to the
meeting of the League, which was
not to the liking of some of the in
ilucntial party leaders and papers at
home, who are always jealous of the
prestige of their league as Il strictly
social and benevolent association
entirely out of the pale of politics.
The Hon. John doesn't seem to be
available and there are even urgent
suggestions for his summary re-
moval to other spheres of activity.

on the rund raised in other cities in order
10 make up the shortage here.
Many citizens ordered seats. but never
called for them, and when approached on
the Saturday previous TO the performance
either denied that they had ordered them
or refused 10 pay for them. Several called
at the Music Hall and had the impertf-
hence to ask for permission 10 view the
fireworks free.
1T was surprising TO see the number of
people who approached me at the Music
Hall and asked for free tickets. although
they knew that the entertainment was

for them on the ground that he had
marched III the parade in the afteronon.
