From our Correspondent

MONTPELIER, 9th Oct. 1910.
arrived here yesterday just in time to learn the
fact that our excellent Governor s. n. Jenison
reelected by the people by majority of10753 nearly
the same as you made 1t few weeks since.
Hon. Carlos Coolidge of Windsor, was elected
speaker by vote of l67 to So. Mr.. Coolidge pre-
sides with much dignity and apparent ease bu, there
want of promptness in his discharge Of the duties
ofthe chair, which to extent operates as him
drance in the dispatch of busnessyet withal he is
good presiding officer
MI Slade made short address last evening before
a meeting Of the wings, in which urged upon them
with much force and with great proprety, the neces'
sity of keeping up the organization of Clubs in the
several towns not only till the November election,
but forward for years even.That these Clubs should
be held for the purpose Of freely and fully discussing
the great political questions which now ag'tate the
whole people, and in which the whole people have
such a deep and vital interest. He urged also Inc
necessity of unwearied vigilance and alluded IN PROOF
of this to the calculations which leading van pu'en
men are making upon the want of activity and zeal
on the part of the Wigs hoping and expecting '"''
their success would lul them into security ana con-
..,.,, .,,;n.,es. Yet I see no evidence here that
;,d,o.. mo IN fear such a result. The Wings are
indeed animated with their success and they seei'
so determined to make that success most completely
efectual in the entire removal of every vest'se OIL
loco focoism from the State Of Vermont.
The Wings have the power now to do much as they
nlease. and they seem disposed to use their power
wisely.
little ofthe loco "rung passion strong IN DEATH
was displayed in the House Of Representatives this
morning Mr. Smiiie-better known constituting
| part of the Van Buren, watch-wor of last year
"Sm:lie aud bank reform"-made laughable exhi-
b,ion either of wisdom cunning, probably, as the
result showed to make favor with certain classes OF
the people, though he dsavowed all political design
He introduced a resolution that, in making VI
the standing committees Of the house, "a farmer and
mechanic should be placed upon each of the com
mittees.' This resolution he supported in shor
speech, asserting, with his usual eoqnence, the in
portauce, the propriety and the necessity of such
course in its bearing upon the great interests of tn
people. Upon this resolution Mr. Villas, member frou
Chelsea, demanded the yeas and nays. The resolu
ton passed. doubtless against the expectation Of tn
mover; Yeas Il3-nays 81. Immediately upon th
passage of the resolution, loco introduced anothe
resolution to carry out tho intentions Of the former
as he said, that each member upon his name bein
called, should rise in his place and tell clearly h
occupation If he could for the information o ii
chair. This resolution Unfortunately for the amuss
ment of the gentlemen in the gallery was dismisse
Here the speaker finding himself 10 a guandary b.

resolution respectfully asked further instruction fro
the House. wbereupon the vote passing the res
luton was AFTER little debate, reconsidered and di
missed: the yeas and nays being demanded that
might be matter Of future reference for party pu
poses, the vote upon tie motion TO dismiss was ye

you know is blind he in the exercise Of his wisdo

resolution is fair sample of"Fsrmer Smiles car
