Martin predicted the election of the
entire democratic ticket from presi-
dent down to constable at Nine Mile.
The speaker, however. did not es-
tablish very good reputation as a

you could notice it. But this year
it is going to be different. Mr..
Martin says that the prospect of
democratic success has never been
so bright in sixteen years as it is
today. Hope springs eternal in. the
democratic breast, and if he were
not always inebriated with the ex-
huberance of hope he would long
ago have withered and died and faded
away. With the exception of eight
years out Of the last forty-eight he
has awakened on the morning after

to find all of his fond hopes crushed
and grim defeat staring him in
the face. but undaunted, undis-

discouraged, he girds up his
loins and commences to hope once
more that it will be different next
time. "Shall the people rule?"
Yes, always. They have decided
that question adversely to the in
quisitor on two successive occasions,
and it will be the same old story
over again this year Of grace.

Man comes into this world with
out knowing it and goes out against
his will, and the trip between the
beginning and the ending is exceed
ingly rocky. The rule of contact is
one of the trip. When he is little
the big girls kiss him. when he is
big the little girls kiss him. II he
is poor then he is poor manager.
and if he is rich he is dishonest. II
he needs credit he can't get it and If
he is prosperous everybody wants to
do him favor. The road is rocky,
but the man wants to travel in it
and after all there is good deal Of
satisfaction to be gotten out of it.

one another show.

tbe north side of the meadow Nal'aham-
conpon in Mortified. Their land extend

week ago Monday was G.. II. Streeter Of

for breaking and entering the Central
Vermont freight office ne was accompa
MED in his flight by Eli Bartlett of Rock
ingham who was awaiting trial on the
same oifense, and Nicholas Anty, who
was serving sentence for assault. The
method OF escape was the wrenching
apart of corridor door bars and digging
a hole through the jail wall.
Newfane Jail has enjoyed the reputa.
tion OF being an easy one TO get out OF
for long time, escapes from there oc'
curing frequently. The fact that only
stick of tirewood was used by the men
to get out of the corridor would tend to
confirm the story. With piece of iron
wrenched from one of the beds the outer
brick wall was pierced. The prisoners
were not obliged to break out OF their
