Secretary Of Treasury Starts
the Vermont Campaign.

Manchester, VT, Aug. 6.-The political
campaign in Vermont, which is considered
an extraordinary one by reason or the
boiling faction in the Republican party
headed by Percival w. Clement, contest

regular Republican nominee for governor.

half last night. The chief speaker was
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ Shaw,
a native of the state, and he dealt entirely
with national questions. largely that of
the tariff Congressman ]. G. Foster OF
this district presided and United States
Attorney j. L. Martin of Brattelboro and
Congressman Charles N. Fowler of New
Jersey were the other speakers.
Secretary Shaw in the opening reviewed
the record of the Democratic party say
ing in this connection that the leaders of
the party always appear to be in search
Of an issue which will appeal to voters
and give them victory. rather than MAX
ing an effort to formulate policy under
which they may be safely entrusted with
the affairs of the nation.
He said that the tariff issue is always
resorted to by the Democratic party to
provide an issue except in those years
Immediately following an experiment with
tariff for revenue only. In those years, he
said, they had been driven to other issues
to bridge over the period between the date

Democratic party or any member OF it
would today venture to predict what would
be the paramount issue of the presidential
campaign.
Secretary Shaw then referred to the
Democratic party'S attitude towards free
silver and the greenback issues. and, con-
tinuing, said that now the Democratic par
ty lays great stress on the trust question
1t is iterated and reiterated that the tariff
is the mother of trusts, and the Democracy
again promises reform.
He referred to arguments advanced by
campaigns until the Mckinley bill was
passed.
Secretary Shaw said he was doubtful if
any tariff schedule had been devised satls-
factory in every particular to any person
The Republican party never attempts to
defend a tariff schedule, but does defend
the protective principle It is probable, he
said, that many items of the present sched-

leave many items in dispute. Wilson's bill.

SHOTS IN The NIGHT.
SentrieS at Shenandoah Couldn't
Tell Who Fired.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 6.-The SEN
tries on duty around camp and the
soldiers stationed at different parts of
the town on provost guard duty re-
ported everything quiet during the
night. Some of the guardsmen said
they heard several shots during the
night but could not locate them. Two
companies of the Eighth regiment are
on guard in the town. One is located
at the eastern end wh~re last weeks
riot occurred and the other is at the
southern section where the foreigners
have been making trouble for the local
police.
There was a little disorder in Maha-
noy City late last night. A junk vender
from Harrisburg, suspected of being a
deputy, was set upon by a number of
men. He escaped to the mountain and
sought refuge with a colony of Rou-
manian Jews. Fearing an attack Isador
Lubinski, one of the Hebrews, dashed
down the mountain over an unfrequent-
ed road to get help from the Mahanoy
City police. When he reached the town
he was arrested for fast driving. He
was fined and sent to Jail. Later he
paid the fine and made known to the
authorities through an interpreter the
cause of his reckless driving. The fine
was then RENTED. The suspected dep
uty was also placed in the Jail for the
night for safe keeping.
