Democratic state Convention.

At the Democratic State Convention
held at Montpelier last week, L. w.
RedingtOn of Rutland presided, and
the following ticket was nominated:
For GOvernOr-GeOrge E. Eaton of
Danville.
nt-GOvernor-E. n. Bullard

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The Democrats of Vermont, in con-
ventiOn assembled, make the following
declatiOn of principles =
First. We favor a tariff for revenue,
with Just determinations favoring the
agricultural, industrial and commercial
interests of the whole country.
Second. We favor reform in the
civil service which shall reproduce the
JeffersOnian test for Otfice-hOlding, viz,
honesty, capabisity and faithfulness,
repudiating mere partisan services as
qualifications for office.
Third. We favor one currency for
the people, alike gold and silver or its
equivalent.
Fourth. We favor the strictest econ
omy in expenditures of the state and
nation, and the continuance of the pol
icy which the democratic party initial
ed and compelled the republicans of
Vermont to adopt, by which the ex-
penses of the country and state are
largely reduced.
Fifth. We favor such state legisla-
ton as shall foster and develop the ag
ricultural, commercial, educational and
manufacturing interests of the state.
Sixth. We favor the law of the last
Legislature relative to taxation, with
such amendments as are necessary to
make it more effective and just in its
operation.
Seventh. We denounce the political
assessment policy inaugurated by the
republican party as tending to under

The Democrats of the state nOmi-
mated good clean candidate for gov
ernor in the person of George +. Eaton
of Danville. Mr. Eaton was for some
years the manager of the old North
Star, which his father and grandfather
before him edited and printed and,
added to the general knowledge which
a newspaper life gives one, he also has
had legislative experience. Mr.. Eaton
is "A .reformer i'll theory, and will keep
fully abreast of his party in its prac-
tice but we can hardly believe the
party would come up to the level of its
platform, if it were in power, much
better than the Republican party does.
The New York Tribune, speaking of
the shocking disaster at Long Branch,
says, at has been shown clearly
enough that the track was not in prop
CT condition at the point where the dis
aster occurred" In this verdict the
cOroner's jury concur. Further on in
the article the same paper says; "Af-
ter the disaster the superintendent
showed praisewOrthy promptness, en-
ergy and fertility of resources in caring
for the wounded" If the superintend-
ent of this railroad had shown "praise-
worthy promptness, energy and fertil-
itV of resources" in caring for his rail
road track there would have been no
dead and wounded to tax his resources.
This was clearly a case of efficiency at
the wrong end.

THRtwo cent letter pnslag" prop
osition which Postmaster g neral
james brought prominently tor
ward in his only official report
seems to have taken popular
hold upon the Congressional
mind. There is now very fair
prospect that the postoffice epm.
uittee will report in favor of the
reduction. That would undonbt-
~ result in favorable action by
Congress within a short time.
Reduction in the rate of postage
of such magnitude as thus pro-
posed would largely increase the
Postoffice Department deficit, but
this can very well be afforded in a
matter of such decided Importance
to the people.

THE Cruikshank C,nst.Ll,

The Cruikshank Constable coal
ition in Cecil is the sensation Of
the day in political circles L, is
to mean the elevation of Georgr
w. Cruikshank, Esq, to the
bench in the place Of Judge Stump;
the election of Alfred Constable,
Esq, to the United States Senate
in place of Senator Groome, and
the Strengthening of Henry w.
Archer, Esq, in Cecil aud other
Eastern Shore counties. Mr.. c.,
who thus looms up as Judge
Stump's rival, is the editor OF the
Cecil Democrat, and gentleman
OF high character and respectable
legal attainments. He aud Con-
stable have heretofore been antag-
onistic in the political N tnelver-
ing in Cecil. His candidacy may
produce unexpected complications
10 respect of the Judicial nomiua-
tions. II Cecil supports him,
Judge Stump's defeat will be i'm
minent, but it by no means fol
lows that Mr.. Cruikshank will
carry the convention, even if he
carries Cecil. Talbot, Cecil and
Caroline could make the nomina-
tions, leaving out Kent and Queen
Anne's entirely, and thus Offering
an entirely new bench, provided
the judicial timber could be found
1T the Constable Cruikshank coal
ition is strong enough to carry
Cecil, it will be likely to result in
. general upheaval all along the
lines of Eastern Shore democracy

An Important Express Case Decided


THE ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY AND SOUTHERN EX-
SION
In the trial of the five suits OF the express COM
panies against the railroad companies within the
past two weeks, being respectively the suits Of
the Adams Express company against the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad, the Adams Express COM
pany against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, the Southern
Express company against the St. Louis and Iron
Mountain road, the Southern Express company
against the Memphis and Little Rock road, Justice
Miller, OF the United States Supreme Court deliv-
cred en- opinion upon the general principles In
volVed in the suits, finding for the express COM
panieS.
The most important issue in the cases was the
rlght or an express company TO do business upon
railroad, and the decision OF Justice Miller pos
sesses great weight and Importance because of the
confirmation from member OF the Supreme
Bench OF the various decisions heretofore rendered
by the district courts upon the same principle.
The nve suits were argued collectively before JUS
tice Miller and Judges McCrary and Treat In St
Louis
1t may be pertinent to say that the suits origi-
mated because of the attempt of the railroad com
panies tOexclude the express companies and either
10 secure TO themselves monopoly OF that bust
ness or grant exclusive privileges to some other
express company. The opinion Of Justice Miller
declares that they cannot do this and must accord
10 the compartments (the express cOmpanes) such
facilities as may be required for the proper pro-
ductlOn OF their business as common carriers and
servants OF the public, upon the payment of
compensation fair and reasonable This Is proba.
bly, the end OF the litigation, which has continued
for over two years, and in which powerful corpo-
rat1OnS were arrayed against each other.
