Henry G.'s "BarI."

The announcement accredited to
Henry G. Davis that he nurses a
gubernatorial boom for himself does
not take well with some of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers OF the
state. The Connellsville Courier,
over in Pennsylvania. evidently un-
acquainted with Henry G.'s habits
along the money line, says the fact
that he has a ''bar'l'' is a better
recommendation than his idea that
he is still young enough to run for
the office.
The Fairmont Times in referring
to the comment, made by the Courier
does not hesitate to say in bold type:
But don't open it The latter
speaks from actual Knowledge and
gives the best reason why some of
the Democratic newspapers have not
grown enthusiastic over the idea Of

A Perpetual Committee.


Delegates to state nominating
conventions have always been select
ed in Monongalia county in district
mass conventions prior to this year,
but this year the committee decided
that, the names of all candidates
should be placed upon the ballot and
voted for at the primary election to
be held on May 2, and that after the
election the executive committe,
which has perpetuated itself for
twenty years, should select the dele
gates.
This same committee, and at the
same meeting. prpxided for the cleo
ton of delegates to the Parkersburg
convention at district mass conven-
lions. In other words, in one in
stance they followed the precedent
heretofore established in the county,
but when it came to selecting dele
gates to the nominating convention
to be held in Charleston, they evil
IDENTIFY thought that the only way to
make absolutely sure that the dele
gates would not favor the nomination
Of Mr.. Swisher, was for the commit
tee to select the delegates. If the
committee has the right to select the
delegates, then 1t certainly has the
right to delegate that power to any
candidate or any other person. Just
the thing complained of by the
Scherr people.
In 1888 a mass convention was
called 2bysthe Republican executive
committee of Monongalia county to
be held in the city of Morgantown,
at which time and place an execu-
tive committee was elected. Since
that time the-number has been in
creased by the committee so as to
have "a member for each election pre-
; cinct OF the county. There have
also been designations and deaths
. which have been filled by the execu-
tive committee, but the people have
never had an opportunity to exercise
their right to elect a committee or
any member of 1t since the mass con-
yention of 1885,,
In 1895 Mr.. Sturgiss asked the
committee to make an order for the
election of members Of the commit
tee at the primary election to be held
that year, but the committee turned
1t down. The committee. through
the papers, and-by numerous indivld-
uals. was asked this year to give the
people a chance to select the mem
bers of the committee, but they we're
denied this right, the committee max
ing an order to elect members OF
the committee two years from now.
The reason given for the postpone
ment OF the election for fwo years.
was that this was Presidential year.
and it would not do. to eject new and
antried Committeeman in the Presi-'
dental year, a Virtual eonfessiOn that

From the fact that Commissioner
Henry Thomas Of Stowe officially
started the hue and cry for the
butchery and determination of the
deer of the state certain humane
newspapers are calling on him to
step down and out. It certainly ap-
pears to the Gazette that an official
responsible for melting such bastard
ly Legislation should no longer con
tlnue to misrepresent the people of
Vermont to say nothing of the poor
dumb animals whose interests he has
so shamefully betrayed. Out on and

This attack on Mr.. Thomas is un.
warranted and cannot be too strongly
condemned. Mr. Thomas is in no
way responsible for the change in the
deer law, If that is what the Gazette
is talking about, and absolutely moth
ing to do with it. Mr.. Thomas has
his faults but this is not one of them.

1HE VERMONT BRIGADE
Brilliant Record Il Made At Funks-

The following, a bit Of war history,
is taken from John McElwyn's history
Of the army Of the Potomac now being

Md, while the Confederate army were
in retreat from Gettysburg The Col.
Walbriuge menuOneu is our venerable
townsmaG, James II. Walbridge OF
North Bennington.
The most brilliant achievement OF
the operations at this stage was the
fine showing made BY the Vermont
Brigade under Brig. Geu. L. A. Grant,
at Funkstown. This splendid brigade
which was one of the notable organi-
cations OF the army. consisted of the
sd, Sd, 4th. 5th, and 9Th VT, forming
the Second Brigade of Howe's Second
Division Of the Sixth Corps. In the
maneouvreing for position around
IFunkstown the whole Vermont Brigade
was deployed in the skirmish line ex,
tending over front Of two miles and
moving forward rapidly, gained crest
of much importance from which the
Confederates thought it necessary to
drive them. An entire division was
/ sent to do this, and advanced in line
of battle three different times being
repulsed each time by the steady, tell
! ing fire of the Vermonters, who took
cover wherever they could find 1t and
with deliberate aim scourged the adj
vancing line Of battle so severely as
| to send It back each time in disorder.
! So secure were these Yankees In the
belief OF their ability to resist the at
tack that they did not call for rein
| forcements and none were sent them.
| Meades orders were strict against
bringing on a general engagement.
Lee had felt the position so important
that he sent up several batteries to aid
! in the attack but the Vermonters were
as undismayed by the storm of shells
as they had been by the advance OF
! the formidable battle line. When the
last attack recoiled in confusion the
! Vermonters jumped up, and tauntlng

come back. There's nothing here but
