Mead Faction ia Rutland win support Him
For District Delegate.
Rutland, April 19- There Is little doubt
that the support of the entire delegation
from Rutland to the district convention
which will be held at Burlington Thurs
daa will be given to J. Forrest Manning
of Rutland, president Of the Columbian
Marble company, whose candidacy for
delegate to the national republican CON
veution from the first district has Just
been announced. In fact Il is understood
that Mr.. Manning was induced to run lor
the place By the Mead leaders. The Mead
forces are working hatd today to get all
the delegates possible for Mr. Manning ia
other towns on this side 0f the state.
A conference was held yesterday BY the
Mead men and there was a strong senti-
ment in favor Of supporting j A. Merrill,
whose delegate ticket was defeated at the
republican caucus Saturday by an anti
| Clement sentiment, but il was learned
that Mr. Merrill would be unwilling to ac-
cept nomination or support from the men
who had defeated the election of the dele
gates proposed by him aud nothing was
left but to secure a new candid .te.
/ The Mead leaders state that they have
nothing whatever against Mr. Merrill and
would be willing to stand by him we're 1t
not for the tact that his supporters are
dominated by z. WI Clement, but Mfr.
Merrill seems to be inclined to withdraw
from the race, inasmuch as the Clement
men who we're his staunchest supporters
will not have an opportunity to take part
/ in the conventions.
There is no doubt that the Mead forces
were prompted TO defeat the Clement list
Of delegates by the belief that to allow
Mr.. Clement to 50 to Burlington and in
control ol the entire Rutland delegation
would undoubtedly give his candidacy for
( the governorship a decided boom. They
think that If Clements candidacy pros
/ pers that Of Dr. Mead for the lieutenant
govern0rship would suffer accordingly, and
the best way 70 do was for DR. Mead "a
show his strength was BY controlling the

ON TEA AND CIGARS
Asks For Forbearance and Says Com
mercial Depression Has Been Aggra
yated BY South African War.


London, April TO- The annual budget
was announced in the House Of Commons
today. Chancellor OF the ExeheQuer
Chamberlain began bis address by appeal
ing for forbearanee in the great task he
had undertaken.
The conditions of the present time, he
said, made this difficulty exeusable. He
continued, the cycle Of prosperity pre-
yalliug at the time OF the last budget seems
to have been expended Our commercial
depression has been aggravated by that Of
South African, while foreign competition
is keener than ever. The exeheQuer re-
oeipts fell short Of the estimates by -
724,000.
The repeal Of the corn tax proved a
costly operation and the exchequer re.
turns also fell short Of the estimate by q
million and half pounds. The expendi-
lures during the year exceeded the esti-
mate by three million pounds.
The total expenditures for the coming
year to be provided for are 2,S8i ,000l,
while the estimated revenue is 1891 ,000l
less at the start.
The chancellor proposes an additional
slxpence per pound on cigars, shilling
on foreign cigarettes and an additional
two pence per pound on tea, which be said
would produce 1000 000l He estimated
that the revenues with this new taxation
would exceed the expenditures by 780,
