1t the Vermont election emphasizes
one thing more than another, it is that
the rejecting people of that state are
contented with a political policy which
develops business, furnishes avenues for
the employment of every body willing
to work, and invites general prosperity.

Let's see: In 1877 Ben Butler was a
republican in T8 a labor reformer
last year greenbacker, and this year
a democrat. 1t makes us sad to think
that next year it is his turn to be re-
publican Washington Repub-
lican.
The result must prove a wholesome
lesson to the leaders of the Vermont
democracy. Their boosted inroads into
the republican ranks do not appear.
All their loud and frantic assurances
have only served to cement and
strengthen the republican column. 1t
may as we'll be learned now as hereaf-
ter that the sentiment of Vermont is
Enthusiastically and perpetuaIIy republic
can so long as present reasons exist for
maintaining the party. - Deming in

The Globe says bed-ridden men were
brought out to vote by the Vermont
republicans. If they did do that, the
votes thus cast represented somebody,
which is better than the ballots count
ed in Alabama and Arkansas, that were
never voted, and that represented only
fraud Traveller.
Shall we forget that the solid South
has broken up the Uuion? Shall we
forget the many brave boys that have
died on the field of battle? Shall we
forget the half-million widows and or
phans now pensioners, the result of the
late rebellion Can we forget the corpse
of brother, husband or father, that
landed, mangled, from the battlefield ?
Can we forget that this party caused
our banner to trail in the dust, besmear-
ed with the blood of brave men? That
it shut up thousands of our brothers

The republicans of Vermont achiev-
ed magnificent victory yesterday.
''The Star that never Sets" still shines
with undimned lustre. The majority is
larger than any contest in several
years. The democracy believed that
the nomination of Hancock would draw
off a large percentage of the soldier
vote from the republican party. Such
result was confidently expected in
Vermont, where there are many thou
sands of veterans who served under
him during the war. But the trick was
too shallow. When they followed him
in the field he was fighting for the IN
ion against the solid South. Now that
he is in league with his old enemies
they refuse to initiate his example, and
so continue to vote as they fought
