DINA represent the Democratic leaders
as thoroughly alarmed over the alliance
between the Greenbackers and the Re-
publicans, by which the latter will sup
port the State ticket put in nomination
by the Greenback leaders. In consid-
Grafton of this support, the Greenback-
ers give their adherence to the Republic
can electoral ticket. This coalition is
regarded as very strong. and as the
Greenbackers all come from the Demo-
cratic ranks, the Democratic leaders
fear that the State may not be carried
for Hancock, after all.
The drift of the tide as watched from
New York, the great political center, is
now very strongly republican. I'm
prejudiced observers even think that
Hancock will not get single northern
electoral vote, and there is good deal
of hope at the republican headquarters
that North Carolina and perhaps Flor
ida may be carried for Garfield. Spec
ial attention is being spaid to New Jer-
sey, where the campaign is hotly con-
tested, and the republicans are in need
of good speakers.

THE STATE PRISON.

The report of the superintendent and
directors Of the state prison shows that

March IA, 1879; John P. Phair, April
10, 1879; Asa Magoon, November %,
1879, and Edward Tatro, April 2, 1880.
Four have been sent to the insane asy-
lum at Brattleboro. The two years
ending August 81, 1878, under Super
intendent Spencer, the expenses averag-
ed S7.957.95 per year. The last four
months of 1878 averaged at the rate of
$5,04l.82 per year. The last twenty
months under Superintendent Rice aver
aged S3,2O8.76 per year. The statis-
tics show whole number of convicts l42.
For the two years 80 have left by reason
of expiration of sentence, 3 pardoned by
Governor Fairbanks, Z by Governor
Proctor. Windsor county furnished the

THE TROUBLE GRANT
GIVES THEM.

General Grant votes and speaks as
he fought. His example and his strong
and earnest words will have great
weight with any former soldiers to whom
the nominations of General Hancock
appealed. He has the greater weight,
moreover, because Democrats were fool
ish enough, at the outset of the contest,
to give wide circulation to the foolish
falsehood that he had declared his in
tention of voting for Hancock. The ca
gerness with which they told this story
contrasts with the effort they now are
making to treat his influence with con-
tempt Few men have more ardent
friends and admirers than General
Grant, and yet he has greatly increased
the number of them by his conduct dur
ing this campaign. His short speeches
have been like solid shots, every one
planted where it would have the most
effect, and there is hardly speaker in
the campaign who has contributed to it
so many of those terse and powerful
sentences which ring through the land
as the best and most convincing express
sions of important truths. The high re-
spect and strong liking which the Gen
eral shows for the Republican candidate
who, though not West Point graduate
and man of the Regular Army, rem
dered signal service as volunteer off
GER, is everywhere contrasted in The
minds of men with the opinion which
General Grant has expressed of th,
soldier who serves the Democratic party
as a mask.-1ribune.

POLITICS..

With the close of the presidential
campaign the political turmoil, which
has greatly agitated the public mind
for some months past. will subside.
Nobody will rejoice at this more than
the publishers of newspapers. AS
necessity they are compelled to devote
considerable time and much space to
politics. which they we'll understand is
of little interest to q class of their read
ers. Editors, as well as other men,
have their political preferences, and
their papers should faithfully, vigorously
and honestly labor for the cause which
seems to them right. AS it is now, the
choice must lie made between republican
and democratic principles. The MoNl-
TOR has labored for the republican side,
believing that the good of the country
and especially that of Vermont, demand.
ed the success of that party. We have
not argued that the democratic party
monopolizes all that is i'll in principles
or politics, or that everything and every
body in the republican party is what
they should be, but 1t seems to us easier
to reform" this party than the other
After the echoes Of the election shall
die away, the farmer, the mechanic anC
the editor can drop his politics, anC
attend to that which is at least NOR,
pleasant and profitable.

NOMINATIONS.
Gable dispatches indicate that tn

Cable dispatches indicate that the
situation in Ireland is extremely critical
and that there is great excitement
throughout England on account of the
threatening attitude of public affairs.
The determination of the government to
prosecute the leading men of the Land
Leaguers promises to bring to head at
once the difficulties that have been re-
vived by recent agitation. 1t is said
that formidable opposition has sprung
up in the cabinet against bringing the
accused Land-Leaguers to London for
trial, but the difficulties in the way of
holding the trials in Ireland are of
such nature as to render it doubtful
if satisfactory trials can be had there.
The agitation will not be quoted, it is
asserted, until movement for a confed-
eracy of the three Kingdoms instead of
the present union will have either ex-
hausted itself in futile effort or become
successful.

THE LEGISLATURES.

The legislature has been doing con-
siderable work of late, and several
important bills are in the legislative
hopper. The subject most mooted is
reduction Of State expenses, ard bills
on this subject are various. Several
changes in the constitution of the State
have been suggested, among which is a
return to the annual system of holding
the legislature. Another thing projected
is the dividing Of the state into repre-
sentative districts of about 2,200 pop-
ulation each. This would deprive the
small towns of their present influence in
the legislature and give the larger towns
a greater power. Among the bills in
troduced is one forbidding the running
of Sunday trains on the railroads The
House has passed bill, introduced ant
advocated by Judge Thompson of this
county, changing the law in regard t.
the assignment Of an assistant counse
in the trial of\criminal cases by thu
states attorney. Bills have been intro
duced cutting down the salaries of Stat
officers. The Legislature adjourned owe

nay to give the members opportunity t
rest from their arduOus labors. 60 home

will be done until the presidential maj
ter is settled.
