Post Commander McGaffey responded fittingly to the address of welcome, thank ing the Wcmnn s Auxiliary for the supper In behalf of the members ot the G. A. It. I Alderman C. K.

The services were closed by a prayer by the Rev. G. Glenn Atkins. THE GOVERNORSHIP A Marble City Contemporary Tells What Could Be Expectod of Clem ent as Governor. (From Rutland News.) When a man Is a candidate; for high of fice it is entirely prop, r to review and analyze his previous record while In po sition of public ttust. it Is reasonable to suppose that. If elected, a candidate will administer the duties nf the position in about the same manner as he has admin istered public ciltlce in the past. In con sidering tho (lualllications of the candi dates for governor of Vermont, their pub lic records are a safe criterion by hich to determine In advimce how their In due nee will work ami what they will do lor themselves and the people. Let us see what the people may expect of P. W. Clement, if elected governor. It has already been shown tli.it as .1 State legislator Ills inllucncn ami vote was thrown against the proper and Just tax- ation of tho railroads of tho State. It was thrown against tho enactment of a la w giving the people of Vermont two cents a mile as the clnugo for transportation. lu every eiuestlon that camo up where the',, interests of great corporations and the In terests of the people were at Issue Legis lator Clement was always the Indefatig able and open champion of the Interests of the corporations. While he was mayor of the city of Rut land, what w.is his record v As already pointed otll in the News, Mayor Clement was opposed to shorter hours and more adequate pay for the employes of tho elty. How did Mayor 'lenient personally fare by his administration? Hero are somo tlg uies that throw light on tho eiuestlon: The Clement National hank building, of which Mr. Clement was part owner, was sold not long ago to the bank at the price, It is undiistood. of $i.0,Ou0. This, It Is sup posed, was a fair valuation. Before Mr. Clement was mayor this building was assessed at ISdJou and contributed taxes to the city on this assessment. During .Mr. Clement's mayoralty the board of assessors, two of whom were appointed by Mayor Clement, reduced that valuation from J3i, Om to $27,000 considerably less than halt of what it was worth. At the saino time Mayor Clement's home the only other real estate in this city on which ho paid taxes, was reduced from its previous valuation of $12,000 to $9,000. Similar reductions were made in the valuation of other properties In which Mayor Clement was less directly Interested, No more flag rant cases of under-valuation of taxablo property In Rutlund exist than on prop erty owned by Mr. Clement, Tho burden of all under-valuatlons falls, of course, upon the people. In the "f.ico of such a public record, what is tho conclusion? Tho only reason able conclusion is that P. W. Clement, ns governor, would uso the power of that po sition In tho Interests of corporate wealth and against the Interests of the rank and tile of the people. VKRMONT PENS ION K R S.

A Vigorous Expreseloo of the Feeling In Connecticut Cities. (From the Now London Day.) Tho constitutional convention of Con necticut, held In the year 1M2. Is no more. Peace to Its ashes, it lived too long, and died in ignominy, and will go thundering down the ages as tho most stupendous ex ample of littleness ir big things that ever was dUnilled by ihe .mention of a com nmnwealth for I1; weary months. Called for the purpose of recognizing a principle , for the' purpose of reforming the outrage ously I'.nlalr representation in the Con necticut Legislature, the convention has shown Itself from the outset to be wholly without intent to grant simple justice, to the great majority of the people of th s state. Intrenched in a position of power Justified by nothing in the world hut Us own existence for many years, the small towns of the state have stubbornly icfuscd to yield any portion of the undue inlluc.u.o they exert upon tho affairs of the Import ant Interests "f the state. Ther delegates have preti nded to .in heroic devotion to the principle of town re prLsentnionlo tho theory that goenimeut in ihls sine is for the bcnelil of the woodehueks and molt a of haired lull townships rather than for the musses ol human beings who populate the busy cities and manufacturing centers ot the state. What has really animated them lias been vanity, the paltry pride ot oftioiallsm; the determination to mi their imgeis in rhe alfalrs of state In a wholly unjustifiable degree not because it was right that the few should dominate the great body of iho people, but because they ( mild. Never hus a constltutlonil convention or any other supposedly repiesentatie body In an American commonwealth so utterly failed to grasp the gravity of its obligations, never bus narrow pioiucl.il Ism moio flagrantly advertised its Incapa city to recognize manhood rights, Fiom the beginning tho only ambition of the majority has been not to do anything to imperil the dominance of the woode hin k hole over the factory. The paltry couces slon which has been mmle at tho Uth hunt tho sum total of the result of nearly hvo months misplaced effort on the part of the minorityIs the most pitiful sop ever thrown to an Intelligent electorate. Th 1 fate ol the document formulated under tho gulso of constitution for this state needs no forecasting, The handlul of earnest and pstriotic men who had the misfortune to be enrolled in the convention is deserv ing of the sincere respect of the people of the stato, but they are so few that the re membrance of the convention of 10ej2 will lie niulorodous in the nostrils of tho peo ple as long as It shall continue.
