OLEMENT MEETING
Rutland, Juno 30. A citizon's mass
meeting in tho intorost of P. W. Clom
ont as a caudidato for Govornor was
hold in this city Saturday evening. A
processiou of C00 poople was f ormed in '
tho oarly ovoniug and lnarched to tho
hall. It was oxpected that Dr. O. W.
Pook of Brandon would bo present nnd
dolivor an address to tlio crowd but
bo did not appear and tboro was no
speooh-making. A potition asking P,
w. Olomont to sorvc as an indopendout
caudidato for tho govornorship and
pledging tho-support of tho siguors
was read aiid tlion circulnted lor sign-
atures. About -100 neonlo regardloss of
political faitli signod tho pupor and it
will bo furthor oiroulatod throughont
tho city for nanics to bo prosontod to
Mr. Ulomont at somo luturo dato. Tliis
mooting was outiroly local iu its na
turo and was called by omo of Mr,
Olomont's supportors but not by his
liouteuants.
Mr, Clcmoiit himself was not pres
ent, boing at Newport, R. I., onjoylng
a yachting trip. Tho fact that ouly
two-tliirds of tlioso presont signed the
potition, tuat no (icunito notiou was
takou and that tlio mooting was ouly
local in charactor, throws but little
light ou tho possiblo courso Mr,
Olomont may take in tho mattor.
