senator Proctor Makes n Denial.
When Senator Red6eld Proctor arrived
n Montpelier Thursday a Boston Globe
man called his attention to the story
sent out from Rutland and published in
tbp st. Adams Messenger, TO the effect
that an ante-election deal was made by
which Fletcher D. Proctor Withdrew
from the gubernatorial nomination and
threw his support to Gen. Mccullough.
In return for this McC ullough, after his
election as governor, was to appoint
Fletcher D. Proctor to the seat in the
limited States senate which was to be
made vacant by the resignation of Red
field Proctor.
When Senator Proctor read the last
oaragraph-"The theory OF the Clement
men is that Senator Proctor is to resign
on account of poor health"-he smiled
handy and said:
Hold on; there may be netting to
this. This dispatch says | am in poor
health. Well, have journeyed 500 miles
in canoe this summer and have lust
come down from New Brunswick. where
killed my moose. Perhaps am in poor
health, but this is the first l have heard
olit."
Senator Proctor stamped the story as
pure fabrication, not worth an
swering seriously.

There is much discussion OH the west
i side of the state concerning the location
! OF the new repair shops of the Rutland
] railroad. Last spring it was apparently
settled that the shops would be built on
the present site at Rutland, but Burling-
ton has been making strenuous Efforts
to secure the industry and with some
hopes ofsuccess. The latest rumor, based
on letter written by DR.. Webb is that
the shops may finally be located at North
.Ftrrishurg where there is large tract
OF land available for the purpose. II this
happens an obscure Addison county
station may become another Lyndon
sville.
