You mark what we say, Thad Chapman,

mittee, is the right man in the right place.
He does not pose as a public orator, but
he knows where they are to be found.
Here is the list he has his eye on SEN
ator Albert j. Beverdge of Indiana,
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois and
CongreSisman Charles +. Littlefed of
Maine, and Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw Of Iowa. as campaign orators. Sen

and consider the judges utterance as pure
patriotism. Even then the situation with
the Democratic party does not inspire
confidence The party dared not declare
itself on an important question because
it was n house divided against itself.
Even If Parker is pure gold his party con-
tains "A large element Of dross. No man
is greater than his party. If he is he is
a one-man power and therefore danger
GUS That's all there is to the Parker

What to Do Now.

Says the Bellows Falls Times:

Says the Bellows Falls Times:
1T is now up to the shouters who claim
that DeBoer was the only man who could
arouse enthusiasm and get out the full
party vote to explain what happened to
the DeBoer enthusiasm at the state con-
vention. The enthusiasm was all for
Bell. of which the friends of DeBoer and
Stanton were silent Witnesses"
ON the contrary. it is now up to" all
Of us to quit threshing over the ante
convention canvass straw and turn i'm to
help elect the man that was nominated.
Anybody that wants to understand the
situation as it was knows or can easily
find out just why DeBoer was not nomi-
mated. 1t is an open secret There would
have been plenty of enthusiasm for De-
Boer if he had only said the word. And
he would have been nominated. Mean
while don't let us try to misunderstood
the situation or talk too much about "en-
thusasm for anybody The duty of the
present is to stir up some enthusiasm
that will lead to big majority for Bell
in September

fund to mammoth proportions through
his influence with other rich men and

died from pneumonia at Clarens, Switz-

obliged to flee from the country. Since
then he had lived quietly in Europe. He
all the hardships of the first great treck
and of the wars with the natives and
with the British. He was commander of
the Boer army before he was elected
to the presidency. He was a man of
kindly heart, but of indomitable will,
and 1t was largely owing to his determi-
nation that the Boer war was so greatly
prolonged.

The Democratic committee on resolu-
tons after sixteen hours of labor
and travail on the currency plat
from said nothing. Then the ex-
cuse was offered that the monetary
standard cannot be regarded as an issue
in this campaign. If the subject was of
no Importance why did the committee
wrangle over it through the long hours
of day and night? The Democrats ap-
parently ignore the fact that four years
ago and eight years ago they made the
money question the paramount issue Of
the campaign. This year, with the CON
servative element in control. they said
nothing in order to pacify and to throw
a sop to the radical contingent headed
by Bryan.

Game Against Winchester Tomorrow on
Home orounds-slattery Signed for the
Season.
The Brattleboro base ball team which
has been i'm the Cheshire County league,
disbanded at the end of last week, and
the money in the treasury was divided,
each player receiving about 800. Man
ager Williamson was untiring in his ef-
forts in behalf of the club giving per-
sonal supervision to all details and his
success under trying circumstances was
highly gratifying to the public and to the
players He will have no connection with
the team after this but the boys will
continue in the game as an independent
team on the cooperative plan, with Frank
Waite as manager-captain. Mr.. Waite
circulated a paper this week to raise
money for the support of a battery and
on the first day about $3.50 was subscribed.
Slattery has signed a contract to play
with the club every Saturday throughout
the season and on special days when he is
wanted. BILLY Aver now of Windsor.
will continue to act as backstop. Louis
Allen, who went to the Hinsdale team last
week, will be suppanted on third base
by player from White River Junction,
recommend by Aver, and Wheeler of the
business college team in Poughkeepsie,
n. Y, will be given a trial at short stop.
The team will play the first game of
the season against Winchester tomorrow,
Saturday, afternoon, at $50. The close
contests between Brattleboro and Win
chester thus far this season is a guar
antee of good sport and a large crowd
will cheer for victory. 1t is expected that
the Springfield, Vt, club will come here
next Wednesday or later date and games
will be arranged at early dates with w. o.

dale. the Greenfield professionals, Millers

Japanese Advancing.

Toxic reports the taking of Yin Kow,
port of NcWChwang, without any resist
ance on the part of the Russians Lloyd's
agent at NewChwang says that japanese
scouts are within six miles of that place,
while Gen. Oku with 10000 men is ap-
preaching Tashichiao. With Oku and the
Takushan armies conVerging on Hal
Cheng to the north of Tashichiao, the
strength of the Russian defence of the
latter place is likely to be slight, unless
they have much larger force than it has
been possible To credit them with. With
the japanese i'm Tashichiao and Yin Kow,
NewChwang is in imminent peril. and
if the apparent plan of the Russians to
permit the japanese to roll up their right
flank till such times as Kuropatkin is
ready to strike is carried out, the early
fall of this place may be expected. The
report sent via ST. Petersburg Wednes-
day that 10000 japanese had been blown
up by Russian mines at Port Arthur is
regarded as absurd in military circles.

Fire in Chesterfield.

a landmark was destroyed in Chester
field yesterday when the buildings on
what is known as the Gov. Hale place,
occupied by Ambrose Jeffery, were to-
tally destroyed. Early in the morning
the chimney burned out, and it is sup
posed that a fire was then started in the
partitions, The blaze was discovered
about 11.3O. but the fire spread so rapidly
that it could not be checked with the
small appliances at hand.

The Democratic patry sees a revival of
the race question in this plank Of the
Republican platform: we favor such
congressional action as shall determine
whether 10y special determinations the
elective franchise in any state has been
unconstitutionally limited. and, if such
is the case, We demand that representa-
tion in Congress and in the electoral col
lcges shall be proportionately reduced
as directed by the constitution of the
United States" The fact is that the dis
franchisement of the blacks through the
grandfather clause and other schemes
in the Southern states has been pushed 50
far that it cannot be ignored longer. John
Sharp Villains is the much touted Demo-
cratic leader in Congress, but only 1443
votes were cast for him when he was
elected in a district of l90,SS5 population
The eighth congressman in Mississippi
received l7213 votes in the aggregate, a
smaller number than was cast for Con-
gresham Haskins alone in the Second

gressmen in South Carolina 31,343 votes
We're cast \ single successful candidate
