New York, Aug. 1O.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Fail trade has opened actively. the first

ported from all western and southwestern
points, and first and second hands at the
east report business OF full volume for
the season. Other developments have been
mainly favorable. Industry is active as
seldom, II ever before. and the only SUBJ
iect Of complaint herein Is the scarcity of
labor available. Iron and steel are in un-
prcccdented demand for Il midsummer
period; building and building materials
though less active at New York. show
few signs of n let up AT the West where
records of previous years have been bros
ken. Railway earnings continue very
heavy, a gain OF II per cent, being indi-
Gated for July over a year ago. Commod-
ity prices, except for farm products and
some kinds of provisions, are very gener-
ally held high for this period. All signs,

Enosburgh Falls. Aug. 9.-The larg-
est and most enthusiastic rally ever
seen in Enosburgh Falls was address
ed by the Hon. j. l.. Martin of Brattle-
boro and +. d. Proctor. Music was
rendered by the E~nosburgh Falls band
who gave n short concert on the lawn
and rendered several selections Mt
proper intervals during the evening.
+. NJ. Wright of the town committee
| presided and introduced the speakers,
Mr.. Martin began speaking at eight
o'clock dwelling chiefly on the differ
ence of the platforms Of the two par
ties on the questions before the public.
He referred to the reputation of the
state for honesty and u%prightness I'M
til the cry of graft was stirred with
the last few years, paid a compliment
to the supreme court and its decisions,
reviewed the campaign Of tour years
ago to show the Inconsistency of Mr..
Clement then and now as to the Rc-
publican party keeping pledges made
at its state conventions and challenged
any person to show wherein tney had
not always been fulfilled by the after
action Of the party. He showed that
the increase OF state expenses is 1ully
accounted for and that not one dollar
Of tho, s440,0 were in one way or
another sq~uandered or ever got into
the pocket of the machine. He re-
ferred to the investigation of State in
stitutions by a clean cut commission
with a democrat on 1t who mad been
a candidate for governor and with a
democratic accountant and all that
could be found was a discrepancy of
ten cents. yet when they made a re-
port of no graft Clement a v 1t was
a white wash.
The Inconsistency OF Mr.. Clements
charge OF graft was shown by the action
Of the Rutland railroad under his ad.
ministration on the matter of short and
long haul as aimed at in the republican,
platform but upon which the fusionist
was silent. Coal was handled through
Chester to Bellows Falls for 25 cents per
ton less than Il would be delivered in
Chester.
The republican platform is n good one
and Mr.. Clement has not dared to at
tack 1t. The ticket is headed by a clean
man politically, privately and in every
way a Christian gentleman with a clean
home life such as every Vermonter should
be proud to honor.
