Last Monday the Argus also had this signl
fcant item
The word for the Hour.

In our summary of election news, printed
in another column, we have stated the case
regarding the New York and other returns
precisely as it stands. Upon the returns re-
ceived up to the hour of going to press the
Phoenix neither claims the election for Mr.
Blaine nor comedies it to Mr.. Cleveland. The
matter is undecided, with the probabilities in
Mr.. Cleveland's favor. Until the vote Of New
York is officially counted and declared no
man has any right to noisily Claim" the
election or raise hurrah. The Republican
national committee have only done their plain
duty to their party in taking measures to
watch the count and see it honestly made.
They still stand firm in insisting that the fl
nal result will show Mr.. Blaine elected. Their
grounds for the claim are not stated, but they
undoubtedly expect frauds or errors to be de-
veloped in the count of votes in the cities of
New York and Brooklyn. II, when the re-
suit is finally declared, Mr.. Blaine is accord
ed more votes than Mr. Cleveland he will be
our next President in spite of Democratic
buster and threatning. II the declaration is
in Mr.. Cleveand's favor every Republican
will cheerfully scquiesce in the decision.
Right here the whole matter must rest un-
til the New York count is completed In
view of possible or probable adverse result
there is no occasion for foreboding or despond.
ing on the part of the Republicans. II Gro
yer Cleveland is our next President every true
Republican will hope to see him give the
country a clean, strong administration, and
no Republican who is worthy the name will
throw any stumbling block in his way. Good
government is of far more consequence to
every citizen than the mere question as to
which party holds the power. Reason for re-
greet there certainly will be il the final result
brings Democratic restoration, but it must
be remembered that after all, the opportuni
ty of the party to work mischief with the af.
fairs of the country is small. They will have
reduced majority in the next House, and
with the Senate Republican by a decided ma
jority, as it will be, no disturbing or ruinouf
policy can forced upon the country. Let pa.
tience self poise and spirit of cheerful con
fdence in the future rule with every Repub
lican.

The Reformer last week, in an editorial
article, stated that Col. Hooker had recently
confessed to a friend that 1.-THE Republican
national committee had spent 800, 900 in
circulating obscene literature" by
this the stories regarding Gov. Cleveland's
private life. To this statement the Reformer
added that Col Hooker said he didn't believe
in this cowArdy work and tried to preventit,
and that he thought it was the smut bust
ness" that beat Blaine.
With regard to this story Col. Hooker says,
emphatically and without qualification, that
he never said anything of the kind, and new
er thought anything of the kind. Moreover,
he says the Republican national committee
did not make any use of the charges against
Gov. Cleveland; they did not circulate them
and did not countenance the work. What
ever work of the kind was done was done by
outside parties.
The Reformer's lie, in short, is lie out of
whole cloth. 1t has got itself somewhat ad-
vertised by means of it, and having thus &C
complished its purpose it will probably print
lam g apology or contradiction this week.

The worst feature about this undecided
election count is the threatening attitude
which the Democratic party have chosen to
take. From the first they have arrogantly
assumed the election of their candidate, and
have openly threatened violence and blood
shed if their claims were not conceded. The
mobs which surrounded the bulletin boards
in New York, Philadelphia and other large
cities last week were apparently ready to
break into violence at moments notice, and
even in Brattleboro Democrats who hold
themselves reputable among their fellows de-
olared their readiness to shoulder musket"
il their claims were contested. Democratic
newspapers printed appeals designed to in
fame the passions of the mob and the Dem
ocrstlc national committee issued an address
deliberately melting their followers to resist
ance by force if Clevelands election was
further disputed. Nothing else can be made
of language like this:
II any different or altered returns are now being
prepared, or are promulgated, they are corrupt fat
sncations OF the records OF the state Of New York
and the men aiding or abetting the making OF such
reports are criminals.
1t is not expected that you will tamely submit to
the Vaccinations Of such men.
Let them understand that you Will not.
Recognize at noon tomorrow throughout the
United States the actual election of Cleveland and
Hendricks by nring national salutes
Meet tomorrow night throughout the country
and express your opinions In manner that can
not be misunderstood.
The men OF New York are resolved not to sub
nit to the gross outrage attempted to be perpetrat-
ed upon their rights.
This address was issued by the Democratic
committee last Friday, and was signed by
William II. Barnum, chairman. Compare its
tone with that of the Republican national
committee printed in another column. Com

MINOR NOTES.

Col A. B. Franklin of Newfane, and Will
liam p. Fairbanks, Esq, are the gentlemen
appointed by Gov Pingree as his associates
on the executive committee, under the act ap-
proved Oct. 81 relating to the New Orleans
exposition, Col Mead commissioner, has
requested Albert Chapman of Middlebury to
take charge of the exhibit of wool from Yer
mont for the exposition.
The Boston Independents contributed mon
ey to pay GOO0 poll-tsxes for the Democratic
machine. But for this, non partisan mayor
nominated by the Republicans would have
been elected.
OF the Ill 900 federal officials only 1000
come under the civil service rules, and of the
whole list over CO. 600 are postmasters. Gov
Cleveland will have, IL elected president, 95
600 Offices to fill without interfering or in
fringing upon the civil service rules at all.

The Democrats have said so long and so Of
ten that they were defrauded out of the pres
idential election eight years ago that the more
ignorant believe it. But after all lie is a lie
however often repeated, and the alleged fraud
is what Beecher would call a Continental
Lie" The fraud was all the other way. The
Republicans fairly carried Louisiana Florida
and South Carolina, in spite of Democratic
attempts to count them out. Tilden, through
his nephew, Pelton, and his unsavory friend,
Smith Weed, tried hard to buy an electoral
vote, both in the South and in Oregon, but
failed. A rumpus was made in the House Of
Representatives by the Democrats with a
view to steal the election and a commission
appointed by the Democratic House, and
composed of men of the highest position and
standing, decided in favor of the Republicans.
And this they call fraud But where was the
fraud The Democrats committed it. They
stole by fraud and force the Republican states
of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, and
very nearly succeeded in stealing Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina Since that
time, by violence and fraud, they have made
the South solid. Fraud, forsooth

small PIuraIIties.

The closeness of the vote between the two
presidential candidates has been noticeable in
several states in past elections. In 1910
Maine gave Harrison only All plurality and
Pennsylvania only 3ij, while the same year
Arkansas gave Van Blren but $50 plurality.
In 1874 Clay carried Delaware by only 2j2,
New Jersey by s23 and Tennessee by ll3.
The same year Polk had only 500 plurality in
Louisiana and more than this number Of
votes were fraudulent In 1913 Taylor had
523 plurality in Delaware, while Cass carried
Alabama by sSl and Mississippi by Gl5. In
1852 Pierce had only % plurality in Delaware
and CSC in North Carolina. Iu 1865 Grant
had only 5OG plurality in California, and Soy
mour carried Oregon by 1874. In 1872 Gree
ley had 9OS plurality in Mary land. In 1876
Hayes carried Florida 10y 92G Oregon By ji7
and South Carolina by 9Gi.

The IuternaI Revenue.

The annual report of the commissioner of
internal revenue shows the total receipts for
the last fiscal year to have been Sl2l 800, 039.
This was some S23 600 600 less than the pre-
vious year There was decrease of SIG
600, 600 from tobacco and $40, OOO, 600 from
repealed laws and penalties and an increase
of So, 900, 600 from spirits and fermented liz
uors. The total amount collected from tobac-
co was a little less than $2G, 600, 600. The
amount of grain used in the production Of liq-
uors was nearly 10, OOO, 900 bushels, and the
amount Of spirits produced by grains was 70,
724, ISL gallons. Tobacco and liquors are
everywhere regarded as legitimate subjects of
taxation and these taxes are collected at COM
paratively small expense and trouble, the cost
of collecting the internal revenue the past
year being less than 4 per cent of the
amount collected.

The November returns of cotton to the de-
partment OF agriculture show that the long
continued drOuth has reduced the production.
The indications point to a crop somewhat lar
ger than that of 1883, gathered in unusually
fine condition, of good color, unsteined by
storms and free from trash and dirt. The
corn product is expected TO exceed 500, 0O0,-
600 bushels, or an average rate of about %
bushels an acre. The best yields are, as in
1888, in what has been de,ignated a. "the
great American desert" The "arid regions"
in the vicinity of the lOOrh meridian have
produced heavy crops Of maize of high quail
ity. That line OF longitude has ceased to be
an absolute barrier to corn production or gem
eral farming The quality Of corn is better
than in 1889 nearly everywhere, aud in the
northern belt it is worth % to - per cent
more. The potato crop is nearly an average
yield, or 80 bushels per acre, and exceeds
100 600, 600 bushels.
