DARING BELL RINGERS.
Franks of the Athletic Young Span
iards of Seville.

iards of Seville. E
There is a curious custom among the
young Spaniards of the city of Seville:
On certain fete days, related a tourist,
the young men Of the place have per
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers OF the cathedral. They have an
ingenious and original way Of ringing
them While the regular besl ringers
rspOse these amateurs climb NJ ON 90
the bells, throw them forward with az
their force and ride upon the b0Rs IN
their furioUs swinging to and fro. We
may imagine what an uproM b pe0-
duced when al the bells Of cathedral
are being treated In this manneS. Any
man who Is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration Of the ringing de-
Ponds upon the caprice or the strength
and patience Of the ringers
The spectacle Is very strange OF the
great bells swinging, with one, two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
IN any attitude which seems TO them
best adapted to pushing out the most
noise. In the Giralda, at Seville, the
first time / witnessed this, the cIamor
was frightfui. When looked up /
thought at first some unfortunate was
entangled in the bell rope, but soon
found It was a matter Of sport. An
other ringer appeared suspended IN the
afr, holding the bell by the ears or the
rim or the wooden framework and fol-
lowing It in all its movements, some
times feet, sometimes head, downward
Such are the daring bell ringers Of Sc

The conventions last week had their
"sideshows," as well as the "msin tent"
exhibition. These consisted Of a lively
discussion and comparison Of the several
pending canyasses for Congressional and
state Offices. Most OF the candidates were
personally on the ground to promote
their booms and give the warm smile and
glad hand to everybody, so that, on the
whole, it was a very cordial occasion.
The preponderance of Page sentiment
was no great surprise; Of Plumley sup
port scarcely less SO; but the Stanton
strength developed proved a real eye
opener to those who have thought the
governorship as good as tucked away al
ready by the Newport man. 1t begins to
look as il Washington county will not be
in the least handicapped by her rather
numerous array of good men in search OF
high Office. but may indeed succeed in
landing the whole bunch.

The Vermont delegation to Chicago is
made up OF five men whose first choice Is
Taft and second choice Hughes and three
men whose first choice il Hughes and sec
ond choice Taft. This IL no doubt fair
reflection OF the sentiment of Vermont
hepuoiicans. They are unpledged and
unfettered and IL Taft continues to sweep
the country a. he has been doing OF late

edly be for him at Chicago, while IL any
thing serious arises which plainly renders
the nomination of both Secretary Taft
and Governor Hughes impossible or
plainly unadvisable they can be trusted to
use their best judgment in behalf OF the
Republican party, and to the honor and
credit OF Vermont. The Banner ventures
the prediction, too, that, whatever the
pressure, the delegation Is one that can
not be stamreded to Roosevelt.-Ben-

Arthur, as he dug himself out of the de-
bris, "we are on again. We have been

Middlesex, the only wet town in

ton Of last year in placing her licensed
saloon IS near as possible to Montpelier,

establishment of line houses by license
towns is growing abuse. 1t Is per-
version Of the whole theory Of local op-
ton, and one of the worst features OF the
present system. Towns that vote yes
ought to be made to hug their saloons
right in their own bosoms instead OF
placing them on the outskirts, at q maxi

The Herald believes the Doctor oug hi
to be nominated. Like Sbylock. he has
borne the opprobrium OF submissive poll
tics with ga patient sbrug," for s.suffer-
ance is the badge Of all'' his tribe"
The Office is honorary, and its duties are
not exacting. II they were, he would

ness, which demands his time and ener-
gy, the Doctor would not ask for an Office
that really amounted to anything. His

anoe on campaign banners. He will gov
ern the state with discretion il the gov
ernor should drop dead. As to presiding
in the Senate, il he finds this beyond his
modest powers, he may always call a
rugged parliamentarian to the chair who
will distribute the official favors and en-
force the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will.
The important thing is to have a second
