port made that year pointed out that the
Furnacevils Iron Company had been over
paid Thousands Of dollars for ~excavating
earth nt rock prices
several cases in which assistant engineers
employed by the State Engineers depart
ment on the Eurnaceville contracts pro-
tested against reclassifying earth as rock
months after the material had been ex-
cavated and removed from the bed OF the
canal. In every case these assistant en-
gineers wore ovcrruled by higher authori-
ties in the State Engineers department. =.
One assistant engineer h persisted
in saying that earth was not rock was forced
to resign. Another assistant engineer
brought before the Black investigating
commission a sample of the Eurnaceville
rock" which he had refused TO classify as
rock, of which the report says:
This was placed in a basin OF water IN
the presence OF the commissioners and In
a few moments became soft mud
On October 10, 1897, a few weeks after the
F~urnaceville Iron Company got its canal
contract, Mr.. Van Alstyne was an assistant
engineer in the State Engineers depart
ment, and on that day he got a leave OF alb
senoe and vent with the ~Furnaceville Iron
Company: Just a year thereafter he was
reinstated in the State Engineers depart
ment. the Funaceville Iron Company's
canal work having been suspended by the
State.

Europe, has confessed all the details of the
election frauds to Heney and Burns, and
that il was at his suggestion hat Wyman

II Maestretti has given up the facts about
the ballot tox stufing, then nothing can
save Schmitz and huef from indictment for

Industry waits closely upon legisla-

considering the planting Of crops from
which they can manufacture alcohol,
to be denatured and used as a source
of power. There is a great desire for
some cheap and effective substitute for
gasoline, the supply of which is limited
and the price Of which has steadily ad-
vanced for several years.

The sail crept forward down the river
of sunset gold that streamed in wild
splendor from q crevass in the ranges
Of cloudlnnd. The light that FURNISHED
the sea glowed upon the Polleven ellis,
tinging with fire the breakers at their
feet; it threw fierce shadows amongst the
clustered cottages of the Cornish usher
folk, and painted a richer scarlet on the
sails of the trawlers huddled beneath
the shetering arm of the little quay. 1t

derer as we knew him to be. We had
saved an innocent girl from his vendetta,
and in my heart l thanked Providence
for that mercy; but Rudolf Marnac, the
Heidelberg professor, was still free, free
with fresh schemes of vengeance against
his scientific opponents Matching in his
twisted brain, and with all the wisdom OF
his great learning to help him in his
deadly purposes.

Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-08-10

The talk that some of the republican
leaders have been making about the
number of democrats who will "bolt
the fusion ticket is fast dying out; the
delusion is rapidly being dispelled.
Frank E. Howe of the Bennington Ban
ner, whose estimates of the political
situation in the various counties
throughout the state appear honest and
fair-minded, says:
I am convinced that Mr.. Clement
will get more democratic votes for
governor than any other candidate in
Vermont has in 20 years. There has
for a generation been a conservative
democratic vote in the state which,
because of the hopelessness of the sit
nation from their point of view, and
a dislike of being conspicuous, has not
been cast. 1t is not large in any one
town or county but in the aggregate it
is considerable, especially in such couu-
ties as Orange, Caledonia, Orleans, and
Windham This vote is all going to be
cast this year and for Clement The
republicans may as well figure on it
first as last.
In Brattleboro, at least, majority of
the democrats are fusionists. As one
of them said the other day: THE
fight is not bounded by party lines.
It's a case of the people against the
machine, and the people s claim comes
before that of partisanship.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-08-10

The knowledge that "Uncle Joe"
Cannon will not come to Vermont 70
speak in the present campaign may be
source of regret to some people but
it's more than likely that some other
national figure will be induced TO go
through the state and work the "Grand
Old Party racket, 1t shows how
frightened the machine republicans
are when they resort to such appeals.
Mr.. Plumley, for instance, made a
splendid Grafton at the rally last
Thursday evening but it amounted to
absolutely nothing as far as state is
sues are concerned. When voters anx-
ions to hear discussions on live ques'
tions are obliged to listen to tawdry
appeals TO partisanship they begin to
think there is a shortage of facts.
