G.. Nj. Stone. The democrats say they
will not have him, and the republicans
say they have got lid of him. | think
he had better go to Mississippi, where
treason is respectable.-lA Anonymous
st. Johnsbury Letter.
We are hearing much about political
intolerance at the south, but just now
the boot is mostly worn on the other
leg, and the north is being disgraced
to an extent that will be enlightcning
to unpreiudiced minds. Certain peo-
pie in the Vermont town of st. Johns
bury advertised themselves Wednes-
day night by hanging in etligy st. John,
the prohibition candidate for presi-
dent, and {. NJ. Stone, candidate for
governor on the independent republi-
can ticket. Mr.. Stone is one of the
ablest editors in the state, and man
who has hOnored the republican party.
The insult offered to him and to the
men who voted according to the die
tates of conscientious convictions is
without excuse, and will be widely
condemned Springfield Republican,

has been settled without any long
electoral controversy. The people of
this country never want to see another
anxious period like that which fol-
lowed the election of 1876.
If the democrats want to start out
well, they must provide some method
for counting the electoral vote that
will prevent the possibility of any
counting-in schemes.
1t is to be hoped that the opportuni-
tv will never again be offered for per-
sonal character to enter into a canvass
to the extent that it has in the past
campaign.
bune as a newspaper was never more
strikingly illustrated than in the late
campaign, and the Boston Journal,
usually reliable and authentic, has in
discreetly followed in the wake of its
New York contemporary, and both
suffer together.

The Eighth Regiment.

There was Il gathering of the officers
of the Eighth regiment at the State
house, Montpelier, Nov. d, for bust
ness meeting. Gov. J. l.. Barstow was
chosen chairman and DR.. G. NJ. Ferriu
secretary. Capt. Geo. n. Carpenter
said that the several regiments that
participated in the battles of the She
nandoah Valley proposed to make Il
second excursion to that place in the
summer of 1855, and it was desired
that the Eighth regiment should be
represented. He also read letter
from Comrade II. +. Hill urging the
regiment to make the necessary ar
engagements. 1t was voted that Il COM
rade from the regiment he appointed
to act with one from each of the regi-
ments as an executive committee to
make the necessary arrangements for
transportation, rations, etc, for the
trip, and Capt. Fred +. Smith of Mont
pelier was appointed as such commit
tee. 1t was also voted that an eX- com =
mittce of five from the regiment he
appointed to look after its special ar
engagements, Geo. S. Thomas to ap-
point this committee ut some future
time. There was an informal discus
sion relative to the publication of the
rcgimental history and it was suggest
ed that at the next reunion members
should he requested to present differ
cnt periods of service so that the main
facts shall be presented and revised.

Public Opinion.
A PERTINENT INouIRY.

If the Tribune is right, the republi-
can party is farther gone than we had
supposed. 1t insists that no other can
didate could have polled 50 many
votes as Blaine did. Is it so bad as
that = Boston Herald.
AN OUTRAGE ON DECENCY.
The hanging or burning of any man
in effigy for political reasons is not only
a piece of unadulterated idiocy, but it
is an outrage upon the decencies of life
and upon the right of every citizen to
perfect freedom of thought and speech
which deserves the sevrrest reproba-
ton of the public Boston Herald.
INDEPENDENCE OF GREAT NEWSPAPERS.
As conventions are now composed
and managed, the best defence against
disgraceful nominations is To be found
in the certainty that great newspapers
will not support them, will not lie for
them, or prevent, or suppress, or evade
for them, or do anything whatever to
postpone the destruction which, as
long as voters have consciences, assure
in the long run To overtake them

Thanksgiving Proclamation
BY GOVERNOR PINGREE.

1t becomes the people of a Christian
state to make frequent recognition and
devout acknowledgment of the good
ness and mercies of the Almighty God 4;
to render him our sincere and humble
thanks as the fountain of life, liberty
and happiness and the source of every
blessing. He has spared us the vast
ing pestilence and kept from our fair
state all civil connections, and has
vouchsafed to us tranquility and peace,
with all the blessings which go hand
in hand with civil and religious liber-
ty. Under the fostering cBre of a gov
eminent gentle and just to the citizen,
he has shown us how to preserve our
liberties, and we know that so long as
we devOutly regard and adore him as
the author and preserver of states as
well as individuals, we may continue
to enjoy the blessings of happy and
free people. do. therefore, in accord
ance with the venerated usage of our
fathers, aud the proclamation of the
president of the United States, appoint
Thursday, the 9th day of this month
of November, to be a day of public
thanksgiving and praise to the Lord
our God. And | recommend that all
our people on that day abstain from
the pursuit of their customary secular
callings, and unite with each other and
the people of the nation, in devout
thanksgiving aud praise to our Heav-
emily Father for the manifest blessings
of his infinite goodness to us.

We still think the Springfield Re
publican the model newspaper of New
England in everything that goes to
make up an intelligent, impartial, well
edited, carefully made mp Journal.
While it is conspicuously the pioneer
of all newspapers emancipated from
party thraldom, it keeps constantly in
view the great fact that the coming
citizen wants the news and the facts
about it regardless of whether his ON is
gOred or the other mans. While the
in the freshness and vigor of its edito-
rial uttcrances, its compendium of
news, and its model makeup, we place
mt the head of its virtues the fact that
it never forgcts that its first duty to
the public is to tell them the truth.
Abuse is no novelty to st. John. He
has been abused all his life by the rum
interest for his devotion to the tenn
perance cause. But it is a new thing
to he denounced and misrepresented
by the professed friends of the cause
he has served so well. In an interview
with a reporter of the Kansas City
Times, he declares most emphatically
that he has held no relations whatever
with any political party other than
the prohibition party in the campaign ;
that he has made the fight strictly up
on the principle which he represented.
1t is his intention to take the field
again after few weeks rest and con-
tinue active effort in behalf of national
constitutional prohibition, which he
feels assured will be ultimately estab-
lished.

The ouly democrat in the next con
gress from the Pacific slope will be
Henley. from the first district of Cali
fornia, elected by 50 majority.
Among the delegates who took an
active part ut the Walworth County
prohibition convention, held at Elk
horn, Wis, August %, there were fonr
men who were among the 1000 that
voted i'll 1910 for james g. Birney
whose combined ages number BOZ
years.
Cleveland has IL brief but remarkable
history. He was born in New Jersey
March Is, 1897. and is AZ years of age
He was educated ut Clinton, n. Y, and
since he was eighteen years of age he
has lived in Buffalo where he was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1859 In 1870 he
was elected sheriff of Erie county, and
in 1881 was elected mayor of Buffalo.
The following year he was elected
governor, and two years later elected

The loud claims of the. New York
Tribune and Boston Journal that
Blaine had carried New York was not
snbstantiated by the count, and the
evidence upon which they based their
claim was not forthcoming. Never
was there poorer scheme to let them
selves down easy. Even the New
York Sun, with all its hostility to
Cleveland, would not join these papers
in the cry of ''Stop thief"
Now that the election is over, Mr..
Blaine should push his libel suit
against the indianapolis Sentinel. The
honor of his family should be protected
against such an accusation, if untrue.
The case will be called for trial some
time in December, and Mr.. Blaine
should not let the case 90 by default,
as the Portland Argus says he did in a
similar suit against it many years ago.
He owes it to the party that supported
him to disprove this Islander, if SANDER
it is.
After raising the free trade cry all
through the campaign, the Boston
Journal now admits that there is no
probability of tariff legislation for the
next two years, and great changes are
likely to take place within that time.
Whatever the democratic platform may
say any unpreiudiced observer will
admit that the party are not a unit in
favor of tariff reform, even. One Of
the strongest protectionists in the
house, and one who will exercise much
influence, is ex-Speaker Randall, who
has been reelected.
The Calcdonian and some of the
Blaine papers are agreed upon one
point, that the party will profit by its
defeat. This is what has been claimed
all along by the Independents. The
spoilsmen and camp-followers rallied
around Mr.. Blaine and secured his
nomination as the embodiment of their
principles. Triumph would have en-
boldened and encouraged them to re-
peat the experiment. We have faith
that the republican party will rise
above the elements that have brought
it defeat, and that four years hence
will see revivitied party, chastened
by its adversely.

The republicans have duty TO per-
form, greater in the hour of defeat
than in the honr of victory. The scales
will drop from the eyes OF the misguid-
ed, and new light will dawn upon the
young voters rs they feel the effects If
democratic supremacy. The great re-
publican army is not broken or dis
heartened. There has been treachery
in the camp. The traitors have gone
out. Let them stay ont. The orsani-
cation must be strengthened, and its
doors widened to admit all men who
subscribe to its principles. Men may
pass away, but an army which has
been repulsed by causes which do not
affect the vital and living issues cannot
be disbanded. There are memories OF
the past, as potent to-day as they were
twenty years ago, which will never be
forgotten, and there are deeds inscribed
upon the historic tablets of our nation
by the republican party which entitle
it to years upon years of power and
influence. We have met with a re-
pulse-and the victory claimed hangs
upon so slight thread that it can and
will be reversed at the next popular
election Boston journal.
