ALEXANDER'S TRIUMPH.

BULGARlA'S CAPITAL.

ulace Along the way-Action of tho
Porte-Alexander Speaks He De-
sires BuIgaria's Happiness.

LEMBURG, Aug. 21-Prince Alexander
arrived here this afternoon and was was
received at the railway depot by Court
Marshal Riedezel and Court Chaplain
Koch. The prince on appearing at the
window of the railway carriage was given
an ovation by thousands of Germans and
Poles who raised enthusiastic cheers,
waved handkerchefs and hats and in
dulged in other joyful demonstrations.
The crowd escorted the prince to the car
riage, when journalist delivered short
address of welcome, concluding with
these word, Perish the traitors Then
the people escorted him to his hotel. The
town is brilliantly Illuminated to night.
Alexander will proceed to Breslau to NOR
row.
Prince Alexander landed at REM in the
Russian province at BeSsarabia on We'd
nesday. On leaving the yacht he made a
brief farewell address to the commander
and escort, expressed regret at leaving
Bulgaria. and declared he would never
cease to take "A prolonged interest in Bull
garia's future. He had no deeper desire
than that for Bulgaria's happiness and
prosperity. Toward this end he had ever
labored with his whole heart. His earnest
wish i'll the present juncture was that Bull
garla would choose another prince to rule
over her who should be devoted to the
welfare OF the country. The Bull
garians are practically unanimous in
their demand for AleXander's return to
Rustichuk. As the result of the under
standing reached by the adherents of Al
eXander at soma and Tirnova a council of
regency has been formed consisting Of
Messrs Stamhoulotf, GlavescoH and
Natchoves. Colonel Moutkourof has

powers to its circular announcing Prince
AleXander's deposition with the exception
of Italy. The different governments
merely note the contents OF the circular
reservlng all interior communications.
The reply o. Spain in addition recognizes
the porte's right to protest against the IL
legality of AleXander's deposition.

1t is not indigenous in this locality but
starts up now and then under certain ma
larious conditions. In New York city,
Chicago, Cincinnati and in some remote
western localities, there is much more of
it. 1t has something of a contagious char
acter, though not easily taken, or badly
infectious A victim once i'll with it is
hard sick with symptoms of mania, and
periodical ravinG spells that seem dan
gerous. The disease has appeared in this
section, soon after somebody from Frank
lin county has spent night IN quiet To-
cality, and usually attacks the family, or
rather the head OF the family, with whom
the infect ed person found hospitality.
Several men who ordinarily exercise fair
judgment and may be called quite level
headed have gone into raVing spells and
manifested dangerous symptoms since the
breaking out of the disease. Those who
have accldently come in contact with IL
somewhat notorious political fuglemau
named Baker, well known as long ago as
the corrupt political campaign under Bar
low, have had the misfortune to spread
the disease to which we refer in different
localities. We regret that the quarantine
regulations which We're maintained dur
ing the small-po epidemic are not in
force at present. Fortunately in this
moral climate few persons are suscept-
BILE to the contagion referred to, and the
character of those who are attempting to
spread II is such that few men Will come
into contact with them.
In war times one of the most dastardly
crimes of the wckedest men of the South
was the shipment of rags and filthy mat
ter, which had been infected with small
poX and yellow fever virus, into the great
cities. These mad men who are trying to
poison public sentiment in this section

to the disease which show how little ordi-

THE SENATOR QUESTION
And the Campaign of Falsehood


Those who oppose Mr.. Edmunds now
take ground wholly unworthy of them
seives-ground which would be more
expected in an intensely heated campaign.
and only on the Democratic side at that
We refer to the absolute talsehoods which
have been stated in the form OF charges
against Senator Edmunds as to his posi-
ton on other subjects of very recent date.
We do not answer them here. They have
IA perfect refutation in the letter of Sena-
tor Morrill,. They show the desperation of
! those who have worked themselves into a
campaign of political revenge In doing
| this they presented no man for Senator
J Edmunds's place. That has been left for
Democrat, but the Republicans and not
the Democrats will elect the next United
States Senator from Vermont.
Among the anomalies of the present
senatorial campaign is the course of those
who ask that Mr.. Edmunds shall give
pledge to support the Republican nomina-
tiops in 1883, while their own brows are
dripping with sweat in their efforts to
clasp hands with the worst elements of
the Democratic party of this State to aid
them to strike down Mr., Edmunds They
pretend to be straight Republicans Is it
straight to join the Democratic party
Has the Democratic party of Vermont
and the present administration become
luOTe htpuDllCdH IMAM the htpuDllCduS
themselves, that they should do this
thing Can you do it and not thereby
become the merest assistant Democrats
What. then, is the plain and common
sense duty of all Republicans IN the pres
ent campaign First of ALL if it be the
most desirable qualifications, the best ex-
perience, the strength to stand up against
overbearing monopolies, to uncover jobs
often concealed in measures before Con.
gress, the strongest craftsmanship to give
form and shape to national legislation, to
remain in the front rank of national infiu- !
ence-then Vermont can not afford to
change her present senatorial representa-
ton.
Therefore, the conclusion is inevitable
and most plain. Turn which ever way we
may, we arrive at the same pont-the re-
election OF George +. Edmunds. Let the |
ireemen of Vermont consider this question
with that candOr and common sense for
which they have always been distinguish
ed, and do not forget to give it practical
effect on the first Tuesday in September.
