The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled TO spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas.
H. Fletcher. This has been necessitat-
ed by reason of pirates counterfeiting
the Castoria trademark. This counter
feiting is a crime not only against the
proprietors of Castoria, but against
the growing generation, All persons
should be careful to see that Castoria
bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletch-
er, if they would guard the health Of
their children. Parents, and mothers
in particular ought to carefully eX-
anime the Castoria advertisements

All of the fake goods are put up in

of the casual purchaser, the sale of the

DEMOCRATS BESIEGING
BURLINGTON.

Burlington, July 90. Clement is the
issue in the Democratic convention
whose delegates are assembling here
tonight. If the Clement aggregation
was like funeral, tonight's is an en-
counter of Kilkenny cats. One issue
is at the front the endorsement of
Clement, and over that issue there are
sharp encounters in dozen rings.
Voices strike the high registers and
cuss words speedily invade the argu-
ment.
Twill you vote TO nominate Glenn
ent?'
Ny personal opinion is that seventy.
five per cent
enty-five per cent. | want to know if
you are for CLEMENT
Yes sir, | am for nominating

Then you are no Democrat.
And so on with much fiery colloquv
and sulphurous explosives.

ually Democrat fighting for regular
ity and a Clement apostate-the latter

oftener than where The impress
sion late in the evening was that the
regulars would prevail The leaders
are strong for a straight ticket-many
of the rank and file are for fusion and
are here under instructions TO vote for
Clement The hottest Clement dele
gates are from Bennington county.
Burlington is for Clement, and St.
Johnsbury is for the renegade Re
publican, but the rest of Caledonia
county is for the Democratic party, -
as the delegates proudly declare.
Conspicuous among the Democrats
present is Gen. Boynton, formerly one
of the strong party leaders and at one
time Representative Of Montpelier in
the General Assembly, The opinion of
these men is that regular Democratic
ticket will be nominated, but who
will go on the ticket is at this time a
matter of speculation.
| McGettrick' name stands first for
Governor Elisha May of st. Johns
bury and +. H. Porter of Wilmington
are also named in this connection The
suggestion of Clement and May-the
latter for lieutenant governor-fnds
currency.
Individual opinion is so pronounced

question can be made outside the con-
! vention. Whether or not Democratic

vention and promises TO be the subject
of a hot fight. Childs of Brattleboro
has been selected as chairman of the
