SENATOR WfLsoN.-sIn review of recently
published life of Senator Wilson, lfr. Whipple

SENATOR WILsoN.-@In review of recently
published life of Senator Wilson, Mr. Whipple
of the Boston Globe says:
Much has recently been said of Mr.. Wilson's
connection with the american or Know Moth.
ing party: Mr.. Mann gives the facts of the case.
As an old free-sOiler, we preserve some reeollee-
tons OF that period in the history of our state,
when mediocrity ran up some one or two httn=
dred per cent Mr. Wilson, Mr.. Burlingame
and a few other ftte-sgilers, seemed TO have
Joined the party in order to aGoliti0nise and
therefore abolish it. They saw that it would be
irresistible for year or two and that out of the
decomposition Of parties it produced a strong
anti-savery political party might be formed.
Ihey went for Americanism somewhat ds Mr..
VIM. EyG went for" that 'Heathen Chinee"
The party quickly DISSOLVED when controlled by
such members. Mr.. Wilson seems to iiays been
the opponent of all the intolerant measures of
the know nothiugs. Indeed, nothing could be
more illogical, morally as well as mentally, than
for friend of universal freedom to struggle for
the emancipation of the blacks, while he AIMED
to dsfranchise Irish and German whites.
This department of the Globe is not, as our
friends of the New York Tribune declare, IAN
organ" Consequently what we say of Henry
Wilson is not to be considered as sly attempt
to get him votes But whether or not he be-
comes vice president of the United States we
shall always respect him for what inheres in his
individual character. He is not, as Mr.. Mann
admits, perfect man; we think that in his pc.
litical career he has made many mistakes; but
we still have high regard for the energy, sa-
gacity and integrity of "the Natick cobber.''
Whatever may be said Of him it cannot be said
that his hands are polluted with unlawful gain.
During the civil war, as chairman of the mill
tary committee of the senate, he might easily
have made large Fortune, without doing any
thing which could be brought home upon him
IN congressional investigation of his conduct
More or less managing vast appropriations of
public money, he stands before the country now
as comparatively poor man. Not a dollar,
not dime, not a cent seems to have stuck to
his fingers. He doubtless has political ambi-
ton; but he is pure from all stain of political
corruption, and of all suspicion of political
money making.

But the most trying situation of all was when,
in the same country, reached the ford of the
little Collins river, 200 feet wide, where usually
the water was hardly UP to the knees of horse,
and found it swollen by late rains and dashing
along so swiftly that the horse could scarcely
struggle through. One of our party crossed
first, and we saw that the water rose TO bis
saddle in the middle Of the ford. 1t would be
necessary TO kneel on our saddles and risk be-

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1919.
The Vermont ELECTION.

The previous vote at a state election in Yer
mont, with which the vote of yesterday can be
most properly compared, is that of 1868. That
was the year of the last presidential election;
and we find the vote of Vermont for governor,
IN that year, stated as follows for the republic
can candidate, 42,615; for the democratic candi-
date, 1921. Any estimates now based on the
assumption that the Vermont democrats
have only "about 10000 votes, will necessarily
be incorrect. 1t is stated that the democrats
have gained about 1000 voters, this year, by nat
uralization, which, added to their vote for gov
ernor in 1868, would make their vote 1927.
How much will be added to this vote by the so
called 'liberal republicans" We shall see
when the returns are all in. Such returns as
we have received will be found among our tele-
graphic dispatches.

Political Letter from GOV. Wnshburu.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,, \
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,

J
My dear Sir: Your favor requesting me to
address the citizens of Springfield upon the pend
ing political issues is at hand. Did not official
duties at this time demand my constant atten.
ton, / should be most happy to present my
views in the manner you suggest. Fearing
may not have an opportunity TO do SO, permit
me to express myself briefly by letter.
The principles involved in this canvass seem
TO me of such vital Importance as to dem and
the faithful service and unfaltering devotion of
every true republican. The sacrifices made
within a recent period to preserve the Union,
have been of such magnitude that cannot con-
sent to be party to any scheme likely to surren-
der the government even partially into the
hands of those who were SO lately determined
to break it down. IL The reelection of Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1864 was necessary in order
that the rebellion might be utterly overthrow,
so, in my view, is the reelection OF Gen. Grant
in 1879 equally necessary in order that the legit
innate results of emancipation and enfTanchise-
ment may be secured. Granting that such a
spirit OF reconciliation as is desirable does not
yet prevail in some quarters, am clear in the
conviction that It will best be brought about
through the re-electionIof the present nation
al executive. Granting that some meas
ures of reiormatory character are both adj
visable and feasible, | am also clear in the
conviction that they will most readily be worked
out by continuing the republican party
in power.
In my Judgment, the declaration of the
country in favor of Grant for another term will
give renewed strength and fresh courage TO the
friends of national unity, and the advocates of
equal rights in every section OF the republic,
On the other hand, it seems TO me that the cleo
ton of his opponent would be essentially a vic
tory at the ballot box of those who sought TO
destroy the nation in the conflict Of arms, and
resisted the acknowledgment Of the colored men
till resistance was palpabe political madness.
do not overlook that some who stood with us
in the years Of battle are now supporting the op.
position movement They appear TO me 10 he
riskng the loss OF what is on every account de.
srable TO save. Yielding to no one in the long
lug for an era Of genuine peace and fraterual
feeling throughout the land, am for Grant and
Wilson, in the confident hope that through their
election this will be attained. The combination
against them ought not 10 be successful, nor can
tnlnk the country will permit II TO succeed
inc interests at stake are too great for the
hazard there would be in the accession to power
ton.
rms, then, is the issue Of the canyass as il
presents itsell TO my mind IL we would not nut
III peru much that was gained in the war. II we
would have every citizen protected in All bls
rights, i we would most surely promote the well
being OF those who deserve encourapement. If
We would do what is best 10 make our country

There is something truly engaging in the per
tinacity with which the Greeley party in New
York keeps up the cry of reform, at the same
time confding the direction of its affairs TO men
noted as among the most uncean and arrogant
members and servants of the ring. With what
anction the Greeley organs declaim about the
vices of patronage, the use of public place for
private profit and other forms of official corrup-
tion and malieasance, while in private Fenton
and Tweed wink at each other and almost burst
with repressed laughter at the stupendous Joke.
former is in itself absurd enough TO
be laughable, if it were not too serious
matter for laughter, but when the Tam
many democracy is proclaimed the party of re-
form with Greeley as its leader, the absurdity
far exceeds the limits of all former precedents.
The Tribune solemnly replies to the charge that
Tammany is for Greeley-"Yes: but il is Tam
many reformed" This reformed Tammany
sends delegates to the convention ct Syracuse
and bearing in mind the pretence of reform aud
the Importance of seeming to avoid all connec.
ton with the ring, from which the state strug-
gled so hard TO free itself last fall, one would
expect to see none of the familiar names on the
roll of delegates this year. But on looking over
the list we find such names as Matthew I. Bren-
nan, Harry Genet, John Morrissey, Dreamer
Billy Walsh, all OF them notorious as associates
and conlederates of Tweed in his infamous ca
reer.
Tammany might have been reformed; il was
possible, though not likely; but il could only
have been reformed by getting rid of such mem.
bers as these, and taking honorable and upright
men in their places. 1t is also possible, of
course, that any one, or more, of these represent
tGrves Of Tammany, may have experienced a
change of heart aud become jealous and dis
interested reformer. Itrequires strong evidence,
however, and more credulity than most of us
are endowed with, to enable us TO believe in the
gsnulneness Of one such conversion, and
"hen the whole gang from the Amer
lcus club house, with their diamonds

are paraded as undoubted converts, our faith is
quite unequal TO the demand npon If No
doubt Mr.. Greeley would prefer to have some oC
these persons with most unsavory reputa,ions
less conspicuous IN the ranks of his followers
but he wants the votes which they can control
and the influence they eau command, and he
must take them on their own terms To use his
own expressive illustration, he cannot invite

them out as soon as It becomes habitabIe II,

Mr.. Sumner sailed for Liverpool yesterday, in
the steamship Malta, of the Cunard line. His
purpose of going abroad has been carefully con-
cealed, except from few intimate friends, so
that the excitement and fatigue of general
leave-taking might be avoided. Mr.. Sumner
had been warned by his physician that entire
rest from excitement and labor was necessary
for the restoration of his health, and this he
could not obtain here, where the whole air is
full of political controversy, to which he could
not be indifferent. He expects while abroad to
be in the care of his old friend and physician,
DR.. Brown Sequard. The probable length of
his absence is not mentioned. Mr.. Sumner was
invited some time ago by some of his present
political associates to speak in Faneuil hall last
evening, on the issues involved in the presden-
tial election. Although circumstances prevent
ed this, the speech was prepared and will be
Published.

How A PHYSICIAN Cor 100000 Fee
The old saw that '"tis better to be born lucky
than born rich" finds remarkable illustration
in the case of a young physician of Illinois, who
unless report bellies him, has stumbled accident
ally into the possession of fortune. His name
is T. L. Matchett, and he resides somewhere in
the central part of Illinois. Our information Is
derived from gentleman who is travelling
through this section in the interest of a business
house, and is a friend Of the fortunate physician
In the month of September, 1868, Mr.. Natchett
then a resident of Springfield ILL.,, was passing
through Chicago, and while waiting for the train
at the Burlington and Quincy depot, he saw a
lady with a child in her arms also waiting for
train. While still in the depot, the child, O
little girl, was seized with sudden and violent
sickness, and the mother was seriously alarmed
Mr.. Matchett rushed to her assistance took care
Of the child, and succeeded in restoring it before
the train started. His timely act of assistance,
coupled with the manner in which it was rem
dered, won the lady's heart, and she was prOfuse
in her expressions of gratitude. But at this mo-
ment the train came, and the young man. bid :
ding her an hasty adieu, jumped into d car and
was off. The lady, before departing on another
train, made inquiries concerning him, and found
out all about Mr.. Matchett, aud where he lived
And then she jumped into a car and was off
Here endeth the first chapter of the romance.
Passing over the intervening pages, which are
blank, we rush at once to the denouement. A few
months ago the lady died in the town of Aber-
deem, Scotland, and in her will she beq ueathed
to her benefactor the handsome fortune of
100000. II is said that the money is already
deposited in some eastern bank awaiting its

THE LOCATION OF BANK SAFEs.-The New
York Journal of Commerce remarks of the re-
cent robbery Of Baltimore bank, by digging
into the vault from an unoccupied rear room:
When the Ocean bank, sometime after it was
cleaned out in Greenwich street, moved up to
Broadway, the directors determined not to be
caught by the vault trick again. So they bought
an enormous safe and planted II squarey in the
middle OF the new office, There it stood, the
admiration of depositors and the challenge of
burglars. With gas lights burning all night
and a street Waterman on duty, the Ocean bank
was then deemed to be secure against burglars;
though unfortunately the security did not eX-
tend to the inner financial affairs of the insttu-
ton. Burglars are among the most accom-
plshed artisans of our time and we do not
confidently say that anything in the safe
cracking line is impossible to them. But
a safe thus exposed to view on all sides
and under constant espionage from the
street Is certainly more secure against assault
than the old-lashoned vaults which abut on
partition walls. These vaults offer the most cor
dial invitations to burglars to Come and take;"
and they never fail to respond 10 the call when
a room can be hired directly in the rear of the
vault. What with their fine chses, crow.bars
slcdge hammers, jackscrews and other admira-
BILE apparatus, they are perfectly sure Of the in
side of the vault, sooner or later 10 Is only a
question of time; and men who struggle for a
prize of 500 000 and upward can afford TO die
patiently. No mere thickness of stone or iron
can keep burglars out OF bank vaults if thew
can only lease the room next door. This great
truth being now incontestably established we
should think that banks having their vaults
thus allurngly placed would take little pains
10 And out who occupies and what is going on

which touches the rear Of their treasure houses,
