majority. The congressman stand : re-

In Ohio the result Is majority of about
10000 for the republicans. and gain of

a State Militia.

Ii will he remembered that our Wash
imgton correspondent wrote III few weeks
ago that Gov Smith had had coTreSpon-
dtncc with the Secretary of War relative
to furnishing our State with guns and
equipments in the event OF the Legislature
passing bill for the organization OF the
State militia. and that Mr.. Stanton had
made Il tender To- the State OF $1,000 stand
of arms for such purpose. We give he
low the correspondence on this subject.
1t would seem IL though the views of Sec
ret:ry Stanton would have considerable
weight with the Legislature. and We think
the people may expect bill organizing
the militia the present session:

Gov. Smiths Message.

We ito not give the governors MESSAGE
this week for the Reason that we could
not do il and print hardly anv other NAT
ter: and however much some OF oar read
err would like to see the entire document.
80 many care nothing for ii that We insert
ONLY an abstract of it.
The message was given the legislature
Friday After giving an exhibit of the
tiuantial condition of the slate the remain
der Of the message Is devoted principally
I" military matters. 1t appears that the
total number of men furnished bv the state
| IL 32.1lO. Of whom 25.33G were for three
wears service, and TIE remainder for terms
carving from three months to one vrar.-
The total number in service Oct. | was
l2.2jn. and the number raised during the
lat wear and credits not heretofore allow
cd WAS 1920. The attempt to have
those enlisted INTO old regiments. in 1862
discharged when the regiments are, has
not met with success. and these men are
held 10 full three wears service The gov
crnor renews his suggestion oi last wear
ior a new military law, and the prompt
organization Of the state militia The
state has now three general hospitals, Oct
|, 1904 patients, which number it is cx-
pertel will soon be increased
The governor recommends that the leo
lslature make an appropriation of Sl260
10 enable the state TO pay its share towards
the Gettysburg cemetery; suggests that
the state pay bounty to those re-enlisted
veterans where towns refuse or neglect to
ITO 1t. and urges that a law he passed reg
ulatIng the town bolmtieS asks for law
allowing the executive to summon the
JUDGES OF the supreme court to his council
when necessary, and recommends some
changes In the law allowing soldiers to
vote. The governor also reviews at some
length the agricultural college plan. AMI
The proposed uniting all the colleges in the
stale Into one, and says there is hope that
it will vet be effected: and urge, Vermont
70 contribute TO the national gallery of
>tatuarv at Washington The governor
also alludes TO his appointing a surgeon
general Of the state. without authority OF
law, and requests that such an office be
created: says that he cot 5000 stand of
arms from the general government in the
arsenal at Nergennes reports that Yer
mont has obtained 40 recruits at the
South under the provisions of the law of
congress last winter. and urges the enact
ment of a more stringent law to prevent
enistmcnts for the service without the
