Battle of the Bullfrocs.

Some years ago the one dollar notes
Of the Windham County (Vt.) State
bank carried a vignette representing
frogs fighting This was engraved to
commemorate what was known as the
battle of the bullfrogs. When the
town of Windham had been settled
there was a very dry season. There
were two large ponds in the place, sep
arated by considerable strip of land.
Each of these ponds was inhabited by
a large number of frogs. The smaller
pond dried up, and its inhabitants
started in a body for the lower and
larger pond. They were met in the
intervening space by party from the
larger pond, and a fierce and long con-
tinued battle ensued between the rival
communities The hideous clamor of
the frogs during this encounter at
tracted the attention of several farm
ers, who witnessed the strange spec
tacle of bullfrogs engaged in a fierce
and deadly struggle The battle last
ed twelve hours. and nearly all the in
habitants of the little town witnessed
It. For many years the war of the
frogs was a favorite tradition of

1t was also decided to hold district
editorial meetings. so that the con-
gressional campaign in each district
can be looked after in the proper man
ner. An organization will be made
in each district.
One of the things on which the
democrats have been depending for
help to elect their members of the leg
islature In this state was the speech
which Samuel Gompers made in this
city last Friday night, and they were
disappointed in that speech about as
bad as they could be. When they called
the meeting and announced that it
would be a labor meeting they expected
that the laboring men of the city would
simply fall over each other in getting
TO the hall to hear Gompers. He was
to be a big card in their campaign.
Crowd Is Not There.
They had a big wagon with a banner
in the Labor Day parade advertising
the speech, and also had a wagon on
the streets for three or four days with
another big banner. Then they also
scattered handbiiis all over the town,
but in spite of all of this effort to get
q crowd. Gompers had an audience of
only about two hundred men and wo-
men when he arose to speak. This
was a thorough disappointment to the
democrats and made the meeting a
failure.
In another particular the meeting
was disappointment to the demo
Gratis. They had expected Gompers to
advise his audience to vote the demo
cratic ticket. They expected him to
tell the union labor voters that they
should vote for democratic candidates
regardless of everything, and they also
expected. him to hop on Senator Bev-
erfdge.
But Gompers did nothing of the kin j
He advised the laboring people to vote
for union men candidates for office, re-

garless of the ticket on which they
are running. He said that IL the union
labor people would pay less attention
TIC party and more to principle IN cast
ing their votes they would accomplish
more for themselves.
Were Surprised at Statement.
This was a startling statement for
Gompers to make, from democratic
standpoint because tho democrats
have only nominated tvs union labor
men as candidates for the legislature
in this state, while the republicans
have eleven candidates who are mem
bers of labor unions. 1t was plain
that the advice given by Gompers was
favorable to the republicans. although
it was given az a democratic meeting.
| Instead of landing John w. Kern and
abusing Beveridge, as he had been ex-
peeted to do Gompers said nothing
about Kern. but he cid say that among
the republicans senator's Beveridge is
one of the best, but he wished Bev-
eridge was a Lafolette. He criticised
Beveridge for some things. but he did
not do what the democrats wanted him
! to do-vote against him. He left the
impression with his audience that he
would be we'll satisfied with the cleo
term.
Altogether the Gompers meeting
was a serious disappointment to the
democrats. and II is doubted here now
whether he will be invited to come
back into the state to deliver more
speeches. although such was the in
tention.
