Another Analysis of the Mayor's State ment. To the Editor of the Free Press: In Mayor Henry's statement, as published in the Free Press, he states the rate $1.05, the grand list $103,995.93, and the amount of the tax bill for 1888 at $108,145.72. It will be readily s.n that a tax of $1.05, on $103,995.93, gives $109, 195.

72, which should be the amount chargeable to the treasurer, or $1,050 more than the amount slated by the mayor. If the mayor flounders into such error of statement in answer to a simple and plain enquiry, what chance is there for the common citizen to understand the published statement of our finances 'f I assail no man's integrity in office. I asviil only the method of statement of our city finances; and it must certainly be now confessed that our kind mayor is "up a tree" in his attempt to clarify the muddle, and that "a clear statement of all disbursements and receipts of city money, and of the affairs of the city generally" has not yet been published for the year 1888, as sec. 23 of the city charter requires. As a wrong motive has been imputed to another for the inquiries made by allow me to subscribe myself, respectfully, Caroi.ls So yes.

Jacob oliamer, ho was postmaster-general in Millard Fillmore's cabinet, was the first. Governor Proctor will be the ablest man inGener.nl Harrison's cabinet. He ami Senator Edmunds are staunch friends, and it is almost needless to say that he is no admirer of Mr.

Blaine. If General Harrison's administration should not be wrecked by Mr. Blaine, it will be largely due Governor Proctor, a coo, cautious, long-headed Vermont Yankee. Mr. Blaine's magnetic ways and sky rocket performances will have no influence with him.

He ought to be in the interior or the navy instead of the war, and his experience as a banker and manufacturer would make him a good secretary of the treasury.

W. A. Crombie Elected Mayor by 421 Majority The Republicans Secure Three Out of Five Aldermen and the Three School Commissioners. The election yesterday resulted in the choice of a republican mayor, by one of the largest majorities ever given here, when there was any contest over the oiiice; of a republican city judge without opposition; of republican aldermen in the First, Second and Fourth wards: of democratic aldermen in the Third and Fifth wards; and of three republican school commissioners, in the Second, Fourth and Fifth wards. The election of Col.

Crombie by a majority larger by i votes than the majority for Gen. Henry last year, is a fine tribute to his worth as a citizen and popularity as a man. He must have received, as was expected, a of democratic votes. He carried every ward but the "Bloody and we congratulate our ciii.ons of all parties on his election. He will make a good mayor.

The majority for Mr. Chambers for alderman in the Fir-t ward was unexpectedly large, he democrats making little effort, and casting only I'll votes in all. The result would not have been different, if they had done their best; for this once close pre- inct has Iveome a reliable republican ard. in the Second ward the harmony and good feeling was almost oppressive. The only division was on mayor; Judge Feck received 1h full vote of both parties, and Mr.

Trick and Mr. Whitney for alderman and school comniis-ioner, fell only about 00 votes behind the total. The Third ward did well on mayor, but pretty badly on alderman. Roberts being eie te.l over Barker by 11.55 majority. In the Fourth.

Alderman Brown received the fa'i ote of bo', parlies, and Mr. IVirce, is elecied school commissioner by 151 ma jority. In ihe Fifth ward, the facts that Crombie had i2 more votes than H'oodhous and that llav. Lad more votes, than Haselton, in dicates trailing, or at IcaM a suspicious crossing oi party lines. No one supposes ihai t'oi.

Crombie was in any lespon-ible for any republican defection on the alderman and the explanation must be sought in other causes. Mr. Woodhouso did not seek the nomination, and would undoubtedly prefer to be out of the Board of Aldermen rather taan in it. But it is to be regretted hat the citv cannot ha1. the benefit of Lis ser vices; and as Mr.

Hayes is not likely to do anv special credit to himself or to the city. in iho place, some who contributed to the result will perhaps set- the time, sooner or later, hen they would be glad to recall their action. the whole the republicans did well, and Burlington remains a republican city.

AMUSEMENTS. The Swedish Male Quartette at the Opera House Last Evening. The concert by the Swedish male quartette, assisted by Miss Ida Florence, reader, at the Howard Opera House last evening, for the benefit of the First church organ fund, called out a large audience which was more than delighted at the entertainment offered. The quartette appeared in their national dress, which was unique, to say the least. The members are all good singers, being most effective in the four part songs where the voices blended very harmoniously.

Miss Florence fully maintained the enviable reputation which her appearance hero last winter won for her. As a mimic we lnilt if she has any superior among the elocutionists of the day. Her rendering of the Bobolink and her imitation of the dialects of different nationalities were especially good. LETTERS CARRIERS' REPORT Amount of Mail Matter Handled During the Tat -Month.

10 lair and cloudv da vs. Vermont in the Civil War VOL. II. From the Boston Herald. This is the second volume of a careful history r.f the part which the Vermont troops had in the suppression of the confederate rebellion.

It covers the careers of the 8th to the 17th regiments, inclusive, and is full of facts and incidents which not only give color to local history, but are essential to the rilling out of an adequate account of the great war. The Look not only covers the regiments of infantry, but includes an account of the rirst cavalry r' which share! in the skirmishes under Sheridan, and had a history that is unique in the annals of war, and those who were engaged in the navy. What is noticeable in this volume is the thoroughness of yiy. Benedict's work, lie is interwoven with his own narrative abuii-d mt extracts from the officers and privates, who were either in great engagements or had unusual opportunities of observing great contests. The volume is full of the vivid incidents of the war.

Page- after page is so thrilling that you can almost hear the cannonading or the whizz oZ bullets. The sketch of a hand to hand contest for the flags by Mr. Herbert E. Hill, brings back the terrible struggles of the war. The account of the first cavalry regiment is interspersed with many similar personal recollections.

Ver ruont gave the. flower of her youth to the war, and this volume is crowded with reminiscences of their bravery and patriotism. One's only regret is that in the notice of a volume like this these incidents which thrill the mind and heart with the courage of our fellow men cannot be fully reproduced. The portraits are excellent and are a substantial addition to the volume. Burlington: The Fkee Press association, publishers.
