In certain village in the good town Of
Rockingham, the banner which the Democra
cy have thrown across the street, with the
names of their candidates appended hangs
so low that it has caused protest from not a
few horses and other sensible animals that
have been compelled to pass under it. Not
many days ago staunch old farmer, with
the true principles of Vermont Republican
ism rooted and grounded in him, had occa-
sion to pass that way with a flock Of sheep
which, having been trained up in the way
they should CO. had imbibed the correct po-
litical principles of their owner. When the
Democ cratic flag was reached the sheep by no
means liked the prospect, and Immediately
testified their opinion of the names it bore
by scattering in every direction except the
one in which their owner was trying to drive
them. Help was needed to gather together
the scattered flock, and by the aid of several
onlookers the animals were finally persuaded
to pass the odious boundary, which they did,
each with bound and contemptuous sniff
The job accomplished, the farmer set the
butt of his whip-stock on the ground with an
emphasis and thus addressed his helpers
"Those sheep are sensible sheep. They
know more than the Democrats do who hung
that flag up there. They know just as well
as you know, and just as well MS l know,
what that flag means. THEY knOor just as

The Boston Herald's Washington CORE
spondent says that "from the best informa-
ton that can be got here, it is believed that
the Republicans will carry New York by 40
600 majority, Connecticut by 5000 and New
Jersey by 10000 majority. Republican de-
feat is now deemed impossible in any North
ern state" He further says that Democrats
in Washington privately admit that the pros

any time since the war.

OF one thing the country may rest assured.
If the Democratic managers can succeed by
any means, fair or foul, in securing the inau-
gurstion of their presidential candidate, no
matter whether he is honestly elected or not,
they will not stop short of any desperate
method TO accomplish the result Their talk
about frauds in Indiana their charges of Re
publican colonization of voters in New York,
their sensational roorback about the sending
of repeaters to Florida, their steady refusal
to acknowledge the illegality of Garcelon 5
proceedings in Maine last winter, and their
ominous threats repeatedly made, all point to
the truth of this allegation They hold ma
jority in both houses of Congress, and they
have repealed every effort of the Republicans
to provide method of avoiding possible
recurrence of the unfortunate contest of four
years ago over the counting of the electoral
vote. The only way to escape the trouble
which they are ready to make ON any slimsy
prete1t is to make the Republican majority
so large in every Northern State that it can
not be disputed or overthrow.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-10-29

In our late State ca mpaign we were wont
to say, ut is only question as to the size Of
the Republican majority, and the Republi-
cans of Vermont owe it to themselves to
make this majority so large that the country
shall be in no doubt as to what the voice of
the State means" The message to Vermont
Republicans for next Tuesday is little differ
ent from what it was in September. The
election of Garfield and Arthur is assured,
and the question is mainly one of majorties
but all the same the Vermont Republicans
owe it to the good name of their State and to
the future strength and well being of their
party that they swell the majority of the
State to the utmost limit. Let every Repub-
lican vote be polled. There will be some
handsome Republican majorities given, next
Tuesday, in States ordinarily counted doubt
full. Let Vermont Republicans take care that
their majority does not fall to figures which
shall make them blush to compare their rec
ord with that of their neighbors.
