Burke Rejects the Proposal.

Tho Bennington born boomlet Of p w.
Clement as an independent candidate has
brought the limelight upon a proposed
political marriage. The following de-
spatch from Burlington 10 the Boston
Globe Of yesterday said Of the match-mak-
ing:
THE bringing Of the name OF Mayor
JAMES e. Burke of this city into the gu
bernatorial canvass of Vermont has Gre
ated n greater political stir throughout
tine state than any political movement for
some months Mayor Burke is at present
the most sought-after man, politically, to
be found. The Democrats OF the state
want him to head their ticket for the gov
ernorship ana the Clement Republicans
are equally anxious to have him run for
lieutenant governor on the ticket headed
by Percival w. Clement Of Rutland"
Politics makes strange bedfellows. but
imagine Percy Clement, a Republican,
ex-railroad president wealthy and aris-
tocratic and James Burke, the humble
worker at the anvil who prides himself
on his Democracy, billing and cooling TO
each other. oh well drop the curtain If
you don't believe IL. The Globe gives
this further lnformation:
"The selection of Mayor Burke to run
for the lieutenant governorship with
Clement, II is claimed by many, would
assure the election Of both. They think
that Burke, who is a blacksmith, work.
ing daily at his trade would draw to
Clement the entire labor vote OF the state,
which is openly hostile TO F. d. Proctor.
son of Senator Redfeld Proctor, active in
campaign for the straight Republican
nomination, and the same vote is not
over friendly towards Clement. On the
other hand. il is claimed. that as the can
didate OF the Democratic party Mayor
Burke could not hope for election, but
would probably pol a much heavier vote
than any one else who could be induced to
run. II he should run for the office. how
ever. he would become the leader OF
the Democracy in Vermont"
Now this coalition would be a very
adroit political move-for Clement. The
Democratic vote would be coralled for
Percy. 1t would be a kind OF pussys-
paw-and- the chestnut act, with Burke as
pussy and the Democratic vote as the
chestnut. But the Globe correspondent
interviewed the mayor He didn't say
This is so suddeni" He didn't even offer
to be a sister to Percy. He said he sup
ported Clement four years ago to aid in
bringing about the substitution Of the
present se-local-option law for tho
old prohibitory measure. That question
is now settled, he declared, and there Is
no logical reason TO warrant his going 70
or with Clement Mayor Burke states
that he is not a seeker for the nomination
as he is already very busy man, but that
II such action should prove tc be the wish
OF his party he would consent to head the
Democratic ticket. His statement that
ne will run straight or not at all is fina
| and positive, he says.

An experienced insurance adjuster OF
New York basing his calculations on the
estimated losses OF a few of the larger
companies and the known annual pre-
miums of other companies, figures up for
the American fire companies loss at San
Francisco Of sos, ,742, 800; and for the for
eign companies loss Of $50, 425 AGO; or a
grand total OF S179 ,O6O; says the
Springfield Republican. The heaviest
loser in this calculation is the Hartford
Fire company. whose figure is given as
$9,sO2, 56O The next heaviest estimated
loser among the American companies is
the Firemen's Fund of San Francisco,
$4,654, 4SO The two foreign companies
suffering most from the disaster are the
London Assurance corporation, S5,26S. .14O
and the Royal Of London. $5.O16, ,O6O. The
great movement of gold from Europe
to the United States now going on is
explained by the fact that the foreign
companies are nearly as heavily involved
at San Francisco as the domestic com
panies.

greatly dlsturbs the people OF the town.
When the town voted to buy the Athol
Water company's plant in 1904 the COM
pany set it's price at 1907 900. If the rep
resentatives of the town had shown judi
cious management at that time the plant
might have been obtained for less than
100000. A commission Of disinterested
persons-three prominent men residing
in other parts OF the sIate-was then
called in to make an appraisal. After ex-
tended hearings the commission has fixed
the price to the town at $S16,5O0 with in
