II don't propose 10 allow the issues oil

This was at the time Of the disclosures
touching Tweed's government OF the city
Of New York. showing state OF rotten
ness unknown before in modern time'
and rarely exceeded in the worlds history
OF municipal corruption, extravaganza
and fraud. The speech contained no de-
nunciation OF Tweed's villainy, but rathel
an excuse for it, accompanied by thu
false allegation, SO often made by Demo
cratic speakers and newspapers in general
that the great seat and centre OF rascality
was the federal government.

THE OHIO ELECTION !
Republican Triumph.
LATEST BY TELEGRAPH

In spite Of the prohibition vote and
notwithstanding q rainy day which usual
y dininishes the Republican vote that
party appears BY the returns thus far
received to have won notable victory in
Ohio Tuesday. Two years ago Hoadley
was elected governor over Foraker by over
10, 900 plurality. This year the Republic
cans have elected Foraker by over $4,000
plurality and have carried good majori-
ity in the legislature, thus insuring the
return Of Sherman TO the U. s. Senate.
The prohibition vote held its own in most
localities, and is supposed to have drawn
considerably from the Democrats.
Cleveland and Cuyahoga county give o
good majority for the Republican ticket
and the returns received show uniform
Republican gains sufficient to give Fora.
ker 10000 plurality in the State provided
the ratio Of gain is kept up. Returns
from 643 out 20l7 voting precincts show
Q net gain OF 1O.475 over their vote in the
same precincts in 1883 when Hoadly had
in the whole state plurality Of 1899.
Enough returns have been received to
make it pretty certain that the Legislature
will be Republican on joint ballot, though
the State Senate will be close. The Re-
publicans new claim p out Of the 81 SEN
ators bnt tho Democrats also claim that
thay will have a majority Of the senate
though they give up the State.
LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.
The latest returns from Hamilton Co.,
(Cincinnsti). which includes nearly oil tue
precincts; give Foraker 32,487; Hoadly
1854 and Prohibition S.403. with the
legislative candidates in doubt. The
latest estimate gives Foraker about $1,000
plurality. The constitutional amendment
changing the state election to November
has been adopted.

The Lagislative Rsunion.

The Legislative reunion at Montpelier
last week was voted grand success by the
large number in attendance. The town
was literally full Of people but the enter
tainment committee had done its work so
well that ell had places and all were well
satisfied with their quarters. At least we
heard no complaint The exercises were
divided between historical "reminiscences
and fun, the latter predominsting. Hon. j..
L. Martin gave valuable historical ad-
dress, which was not all delivered by him,
owing to bad cold and hoarseness, but
the balance was read by Clerk Stickney.
A good number OF the "old members
gave pleasant sketches OF legislative ex'
perience and Senators Edmunds and Nor
rill made short and interesting addresses.
The managers Of the affair including,
OF course, chief marshal Fullerton do.
serve credit for the successful manner 10
which it was carried out. The older ex-
members seemed to enjoy fighting their
battles over again, quite as we'll as the
younger ones, and no one moro than Hon.
A. l.. Miner.
II has bee1 claimed by some that the
affair was an electioneering dodge gotten
up by aspiring candidates for future state
honors, but il such were the case it did
not appear on the surface, though, no
doubt, considerable "ploughing" done
on the sly. One thing was apparent,
that Senator Edmunds has lost little Of
his old time popularity with the people Of
the state. His remarks on two occasions
we're received with hearty cheers in which
all seemed to join. On the other hand
we heard frequent private expression OF
regret at the GOODNESS OF Senator Edmunds
during the campaign last fall, and we
think there may be some opposition to him
in the next legislature. We predict how
ever, that be will be candidate for anoth.
er term aud that be will be elected.
Montpelier people we're much pleased
| to see the old members back again il only
for two or three days, and they did every
thing possible to make the occasion pleas.
ant, though we presume, in most cases,
they did not forget ITO put it in the bill. "
There were two fine bands Of music. the
Sherman Band Of Burlington. and the
Montpelier Band. and there were splendid
fireworks on Wednesday evening. The
people also turned ont to all what little
vacant space there might be, and some.
times they got badly squeezed in the
operation. But everybody was happy
and We think II paid.

The Vermont Horse Breeder Assoeia-
sgsa tiou.
We had the pleasure Of attending the
Hrst exhibition OF the Vermont Horse
Breeders Association, at Burlington last
week, and we're surprised OF the large
number OF fine stock horses and their
colts brought together. With two excep.
lions no State in the Union can make q
ener show = Kentucky and California take
the lead on trotting stock which Vermont
held thirty years ago, and which she
might have held to the present time had
her farmers taken the interest In the matter
they should have taken. II the present
association had been formed then and
kept up, and our best horses kept at home
instead OF sold to breeders OF other States
Vermont would have easily maintained
her lead. This exhibition proved that
there is some OF the good old Vermont
stock left and that there are good num-
Der OF energetic breeders who are deter
mined TO improve It.
It was . noteworthy fact that nearly oil
the horses and colts shown belonged to
some branch Of the old Morgan family,
aud could trace back their pedigre on one
side or the other and perhaps on both
sides to the first Vermo Morgan, horse
that had more influence On bis descendants
than any other horse that ever lived. and
whoss fame - again growing brighter
after having been clouded BY persis
tent ialsiiyiag and suppression Of truth.
Hon. Joseph Battell Of Middlsbury has
been expending considerable time and
money in tracing the different branches
OF the Morgan family and will soon pub
lish the result Of his valuable researches.
He viii prove conclusively that much o.
the credit which has been popularIy given
To other horses properly belongs to the
Morgan blood.
At the Burlington show the Lamberts
took the lead in numbers and in popu-
larity. Daniel Lambert, nearly thirty
yean old and the sire Of more horses
