wINDHAM COUNTY IN THE LEGISLATURE
Strong Men Who Will Represent Old Wind
ham She also Furnishes the Youngest
Member.

''Some of the strongest representa-
tives in the legislature that will meet
here next month will come from Wind
ham county, y says a Montpelier cor
respondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican. THE senatorial representation
is not very heavy, but in the house
the influence of tbs county will be of
consequence. This results from the
character of the men elected and also
from the fact that several of them
have had previous experience in that
body, three of them having served in
the last house. j. II. Merritield of
Newfane, Honest John" will be a
strong candidate for the speakership if
his candidacy is pushed. He is a man
of high personal standing and his past
experience would make him valuable
in hal position.
Among the other Windham county
men who will take "A prominent place
in the house are f, l.. Houghton of
Putney, a Clement follower and a
strong local option man, DR., James
Conland of Brattleboro and +. II.
Porter of Wilmington. 1t is consid-
cred probable that either DR.. Conland
or Porter will be the Democratic candi-
date for speaker, DR.. Conland served
III the house a number of years ago,
Porter was in the house last session
and will serve his third term this year
John f. Gale of Guilford, a young
Democrat who was in the house of 1900,
will also command a respectful hear
ing"
Windham county may also claim the
distinction of furnishing the legisla-
lures youngest member, her Stratton
representative, Hermon f. Eddy, be
ing only y years of age. Mr.. Eddy is
a Republican in politics and a Baptist
in religion. He was born in Stratton
June -, 1881, and he is now attending
the University of Vermont. The old
est member of the Legislature will be
Arnold Ball of East Haven, rs.

To the Editor of The Reformer:
Sir:-l wish to say a word in regard
to the report that "a majority of Brat
tleboro Democrats are now ready TO
help the LAWYERS move the county
buildings. Well, if they think the
county seat ought TO he changed, they
have a perfect right to do so and have
done wrong in opposing it. Probably
some Brattleboro Democrats desiring
the change voted for Mr.. Davenport
because he i a Democrat. while some
Republicans in Newfane opposed to it
voted for Mr.. Spencer because he is a
Republican, and. undoubtedly, there
are Democrats in Brattleburo and Re
puhlicanS in Newfane that could not be
induced TO vote for candidates of the
opposite party under any circum-
stances. None of these have any more
reason to complain Of each other than
the pot has TO call the kettle black.
There are quite a number of voters
in this town who have no ideas, inter
est or concern about anything outside
of their individual domains, and
like the mar sent as representative
from this town a few years since.
it j. immaterial to them whether
WV ADhlllN - Al4lL-tN VI ApNs
their interests or feelings will not
be affected by the action of Brat
tleboro Democrats: so there is no
chance for revenge on that class of
voters. But as all the Democrats and
about ca Republicans supported Day-
export because of his efforts in III
behalf they-who, in this instance, are
friends of the Democratic ~party-will
the greatest injury from this
proposed revenge which, if carried out
for mere spite, would simply be re
evil for good and verifying the
remark made by Gen. Grant, that Dem
might be relied upon to do the
wrong thing at the right time. If the
has really been shelved now. il
will undoubtedly come up again in the
near future when it can be more eff
fectively used as a present than pros
p~ective issue if Democrats will be gov
by common sense instead of hot
headed impulse, c. f. Skinner.

CONLAND SUPPORTS PORTER.
DR.. James Conland, Representative-Elect for
Brattleboro, Will Support Mr.. Porter for
the Speakership.

Editor Reformer. Your editorial in
last weeks Reformer advocating the
candidacy of Mr.. Porter for speaker of
the next house should meet with the
approval of all local option mem
bers of the legislature. for they
will have to grapple with one
of the most complicated prob
lens hat has come before that body
in a good many years. The people of
the state, by a decisive majority, in
structed their representatives to repeal
the existing prohibitory law and in its
stead enact a practical license law, one
that will not only command the hearty
support of the members while working
together at Montpelier, but will con
tinue to receive their unqualified en-
dorsement when they return to their
respective towns. The men who are
prepared to do this probably consti-
tute a majority of the house and the
man to lead them is Mr.. Porter of
Wilmington.

for - years a much respected citizen
of Bellows Falls, is in critical condi-
tion at his home. a short time ago he
fell through the Rutland railroad

lance of four feet. While it is be.
lieved he was suffering from IA shock,
his collarbone and several ribs were

full. For upwards of 20 years he has

We called attention two weeks AGO
to the great need OF more voting pre-
cincts in our rapidly growing town,
and VIC are glad to hear that our sur-
geston has met with the universal
approval of all who have expressed
themselves. Some think two boxes
would very much relieve the situa-
tion, while others think that we had
as well once for all establish a box
for eacH ward. We think that it
would be Just as well to fix 1t voting
place for each ward as it will come to
that sooner or later if our town con
tinues to develop and increase in pop.
ulation. And we see no reason why
it should not continue to grow.
We are not contentious, however,
as to the four, and will be satisfied
for the present if there are only two
voting places established. But it is
absolutely necessary to have at least
two. 1t is unreasonable to expect
the managers to pin down to the
laborious task Of counting and re.
cording ballots from / O'Clock p. m.
until or 8 O'Clock the next morning,
without help, and volunteers for
such a job are pretty hard to find, at
least one experience seems to give
them all tliey want.

Our. new Governor in returning
thanks to the people Of the State in
an open letter has the following to
say, which has the ring of true metal
about:it. We hope to see u fine
record, without spot or blemish made
by our new Governor. We believe
he will be the Governor of the whole
people, bound to no man or set of
men by promises or factional ties,
should,he prove otherwise we will be
sadly disappointed in the man:
cit is with sense Of profound
gratitude, mingled with an equal
sense pf the solemn responsibility
involved, that | tender you my heart
felt thanks for your trust and conf
dence as has been evidenced by the
votes given me in the recent primary.
From every county and town, from
every precinct and hamlet, have |
been remembered with trust ard
honor by my countrymen Of our ma
tive State. With appreciation far
too deep for speech, and with thanks
that come from my heart, | pledge
you agaia, by our sacred traditions
and glorious history, by all that we
hold dear, to do all in my power to
prove worthy Of this great gift-the
confidence and trust Of South Caro-
lnians." ID, G. HEYwARD.

one ofthe best Of N'derc that the
young men at the l,&u II this con-
cern are up-to datc business men.
They have only been in Union short
while, but by their affable manner
and courteous treatment Of their GUS
toners, they have already made for
themselves an enviable reputation n
and are coming to the front with
seven-league strides. Their motto is
quick sales with a very close margin
of profit on the best goods that money
can buy in their line, They started
right by advertising their business as
soon as they opened up. The people
saw their advertisement, went tosee
them and they secured customer
every time. Their business has con-
tinued to thrive ever since, until they
found it absolutely necessary to find
more roomy quarters, and rented the
large and commodious store room on
Main street formerly occupied by the
Purcell Cash Co. They purchased q
large and well assorted stock Of goods
which are coming in at such a rate as
to soon fill even their new place. But
they are coming in by the case and
going out by the bundle in a very
satisfactory manner to the propri-
etors. Such hustling young men are
q great acquisition to any commup-
ity and we wish them abundant sue
cess in their business. They are as
clever and courteous young gentle
men as we have ever met and we are
very glad indeed to have them with
us.
