FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 16, 1912.
THE RESULT.

Below we give table embracing full re-
turns from every county in the state except
Essex. From this table it will appear that
the ne, gain of the Wigs since last year,
is 20l2, and that Gov. rainc's majority ov-
err Smile, Williams, scattering and all is
1576.Wc have prepared this table with great
care, and our friends can rely upon its APP
proximating as near to the true result as it is
possible to approach before the official cam
vass. We think Judge Williams and his
friends must be highly gratilicd at the emil
nent success which has attended their efforts
to divide AID break up the Wing party and
contribute to the triumph Of LocOtocosm in
Vermont. We intend to submit some OBJ
scrvatons upon this matter on future oc-
casion, and will not therefore dwell upon it
longer at ,rrseni. Hc cannot however re-
frain from declaring that IN our judgment
the whole third party movement was de-
libcratc plot on the part of the LocoFocos
to divide the Wings and elevate Nathan Smi-
lie and T.. d. Barber 10 the two first Office,
in the gift olthe people. We know there were
some gentlemen of character and influence
who countenanccd this movement and who
we should be slow to believe, were prompted
bv any such unworthy motives. But wher
they saw the Reverend Mr.. St. Clair from
New Hampshire, perambulating the State
and preaching to the people ostenShly IN ia
vor of abolition, bnt in reality in defence o
Locolocoism, and when they saw this Rcc
erend emssary rcsorIr, TO the most dlsrc
pulahlc and dishonest means 10 sustain In
hvpocrtical movement he was making, an
to dis,racl.and defeat the whig party, we cor
fess we can not understand how any candi
and fair minded man could longer susai
the Reverend Loco Foco in his deceptiv
and disgracefu operations. But as we sal

Young Buckeye Wings that has been wit

CONGRESS INDICATED.


No legislative body was ever more un-
Justly assailed and illuminated than the pres
ent Wing Congress. Aud yet this Con-
gress has matured more important business,
passed more bills, and done more to restore
the prosperity of the country, and relieve
the suiferines of the people than any other
Congress which has ever assembled since
the government was oganiz9d Mr.. Adams,
who is not at all addicted TO the use of ex-
travagant compliments, said, in late speech
in the House of Representatives, that no
Congress within his recollection had per-
formed one half the hard labor which had
been accomplished by this. "Thc prescn
session of Congress-" say the editors of the
National 1neligencer, sis the longest ever
held under the government, extending through
a period of 260 days. The session of Con-
gress next to the present in duration was the
second long session under Mr.. Van Buren,,
which lasted 900 days.
"If the business done by the House at
these two sessions be contrasted, it will stand
thus:
Reports made-716.
Bills rcportcd-524.
| Bills passed the II. R.-211.
At the present session there were
Reports made-lOSS.
Bills rcportcd-6lO.
Bills passed the II. Roo.
sin addition to the bills passed, II may
also be stated that there are about 100 pri-
vate bills of the House which have been en-
crossed, and are now ready for their final
passage, and most of which would have pass
ed if the Senate would have acted upon
them, and which were purposely retained in
tho House because these bills will be in a
better position at the next session for earlier
action than if they had passed the House
and been lald aside in tie Senate for wan
Of time to act on them. In addition to these
numerous Joint resolutions have also beer
passed ana the general result OF compari
son is, tha, this Congress has made more re-
ports, passed more public laws, and don'
more important business than any Congress
which ever convened since the formation O
the government"
The editors draw a comparison betwcc
the time required to mature bills &c. in til
British Parliament and Congress, whici
shows that the average is twice as much i
the former, as in the latter body. The edi
tors notice the fact that during the presci
session, two very important bills have bee
passed, which always require great deal q
time viz-Thc Apporionment Bill, an
the Tariff Bill. They might also have ad
dcd two others Of great importance, an
which required much time TO mature, to wit
the Rcmedill Justice Bill, aud the Eeclio
Bill. They state the fact that the Appor
lionmcnt bills of 1901, 1911, 1922, an
1882, occupied the House an average Of jus
: turty days each. The fact is dcmonstra
; bic, from the data given, that more busine.
{ has been performed at the late session {
t Congress in proportion to the time occupir'
y than at any session, since the Governmcl
. was established.

We have also carried the Legislature by
handsome majorities IN both branches. The
whole number in the House is usually about
1870 members. We have returns from 2lS
towns, which give l27 Wings to SO Loco
Focos. In the Senate, the Wings have 4 in
Windsor, 3 in Rutland, 3 in Windham, ? in
Addison, in Orleans, in Franklin, l in
Chittenden, aud in Grand Isle, making 10

ange, 2 in WashnglOn,2 in Bennington, z
in Caledonia, in Chiuenden, in Lamollle
and in Essex, making IL in all. The
other two in Franklin County we are COM
PEELED to consider doubtful, notwithstanding
both the papers in st. Adams give them 10
the Locos. We saw gentleman from
Franklin County last evening who assured
us that the Wings had elected Messrs Eaton
and Sdbin, and that the other wing cah'i-
date had fied the highest Loco Foco. But
however it may be, the contest sayery close

HONEST LOHN DAVIS.

hOINCio JOI1N ia VIC.
TIE CHOICE OF THE Vino YOUNG Men
OF ONO. At the late Wing Young Mems
State Convention at Newark, Ohio, where
FIFTEEN THOUSAND ofthc c-hcarted sove-
reign people of that State were assembled in
convention, in the evening says the Column
bus State journal, Judge Olivor, OF Cincin-
natl, reported series of spirited and peril
ncnt resolutions, which among other subjects,
contained nomination of HENRY CLAY, for
the Presidency, and recommendation Of
john DAVIS as a suitable candidate for Vice
Presidency. Upon the question to adopt
the resolutions in body, delegate moved
to except the one in reference to the Vice
Presidency, and gave as his reasons that it
was not expedient at this period TO commit
Ohio to candidate for that office. This he
did, after loud cries for the "qucslion" were
with difficulty restrained for the purpose of
allowing him an opportunity TO explain his
views. Mr.. Briggs of Cleavcland said he
too, was dissatisfied with the resolution, and
wanted it amended. He accordingly moved
to amend by nominating "honest" JOHN
DAVIS, of Massachusetts, out and out, as
the choice of the Wings of Ohio, for the Vice
Presidency, on the ticket with Mr.. CLAY.
| The amendment was carried with shout
| that shook the Court House to its founda-
| tons. The resolutions were then adopted
with another deaicning out-burs, which
spoke directly from the hearts of all present.
CLAY and DAVIS arc therefore formally
presented TO the whole country as the cand-
date under whom Ohio is ready to enlist for
the next campaign.-Atids.

CHARLES DICKENS.

This young mans head seems TO have been
completely turned by the foolish attentions
paid to him by some silly people in this
country. We regret this very much, as we
were inclined to consider Charles a very
promising boy, who stood something OF
chance to make quite a sum of money from
his labors as police reporter or deineator
of the manners and customs of loW life in
London. But we now fear he is spoiled
child. lie begins to assume airs and EVIDENT
" thinks himself a man of much greater con-
sequence than he really is. Perhaps, how
ever, this is not altogether the fault of the
young man himself For, lis quite evident,
both from his police reports, and from the
following letter, that his l'n has been mainly
spent among the lower classes of the Eng
lish people, apt that he is not at all accns-
TONED to mingng in good society. Hence,
he may be supposed not to be aware that il
! is BY no means mark OF good breeding to
ridicue and caricaturc those whose hoSpi.
tally he has shared so protusely, and whost
| attentions, if he did not court, he certainly
! receiced in all cases without being urged, AM
in most, with acknowledged graliicalion.-
Let us not be misunderstood. We do no
mean to defend those silly Americans who
were so foolish and eytravagant in their at
.entions to ".Ur. Doe" On the conlrar
we expressed our decided, disapprobatIon o
them at the time, and Subsequent reflection
has only strengthened our conviction of tIei
folly and improperly. We admi, that SOM
men Of character and respcctahiIity joinc'
in these idle parades, and rendered to Dckcn
those civililes which were due only TO

some respects, eXcusable. For they hat
