nority to defeat him. 1t ought to be by the
time the legislative tickets are completed
and members elected sufficiently strong to
utterly overthrow him. The state has never
been so thoroughly aroused. More than all
this, the eyes of the whole country are
turned to Vermont. From Maine to Texas
and from where the palm-trees wave in the
golden sunlight Of the Carolinas to where
the white-capped waves dash against the
Pacific shores at the Golden Gate, loyal and
true republicans are waiting to hear from
Vermont. This little state, standing off
on one side of the great nation, has never
before had the public eye so riveted upon
her affairs. 1t is within her power to make
or unmale the republican party. In New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut the ac-
ton of Mr.. Edmupds in 1884 was sufficient
to defeat the republican party. In these
same states to-day republicans are nerved for
new contest with the old enemy. They will
vote upon congressman and members of the
legislature month after the senatorial con-
test in Vermont has been decided. If Mr..
Edmunds is reelected in Vermont lit will be
to the republicans of these states as it
would be to a man to have a red hot iron
run down his spinal column. 1t will liter
ally paralyze them. With the growth of
the opposition to Mr.. Edmunds no man
need fear to speak out. His antagonists are
fighting the honest battles of the republic
can party. They are numerous enough to
protect themselves from malice, even
though they should be unsuccessful in de-
feating him But with long pull, strong
pull and pull altogether, there is no doubt
that he can be defeated Let every republic
can who believes that the welfare of the
country demands the restoration of the re-
publican party vote against the return OF

in which the people of Maine are so deeply
interested. A large portion of his speech
was devoted to 1t in the various phases
through which it has passed. He succinctly
sketched the history of the claims at vari-
GUS periods set up by Great Britain and the
United States respecting the rights and
privileges of each, and the efforts made by
the British government to secure for its
Canadian subjects advantages to which they
are not entitled. Mr. Blaines exposition of
the question raised and discussed between
the diplomatic representatives of the two
nations was exceedingly interesting and in
structive. So also was his description of
the singular attitude assumed by the present
democratic administration respecting the
interests of citizens of the United States in
this connection. And then Mr.. Blaine, after
having exposed the cowardly shifts resorted
to by the administration at Washington in
order to avoid its plain duty in respect to
the fisheries dispute, turned to the Mexican
complication, in which the administration
has so unwisely become involved, and
sharply contrasted the patient endurance
of Canadian outrage with the "unneces-
sary and undignified display of insolence
and bravado toward Mexico" In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Blaine paid his respects to the
third party prohibtionists, criticising their
inconsistency and lack of sincerity, as
evinced in the policy they are pursuing
in Maine,

was great success. both in attendance and
as a pleasant entertainment. Five bands
for the przes-Danville, Cabot,
Calais and Woodbury., South Craftsbury
and Professor Whitney's band of Crafts

celent music and acquitted themselves
with much honor. Danville band was
awarded the first prize, South aftsbury
the second and Whitney's the third. A lib
eral estimate of the attendance places it at
about two thousand Our local band did
it's full share of GLOWING" and we have
heard of no complaints as to his neglect of
duty as entertainers. We understand the
tournament was success financially.

Mr.. Blaine's Speeches.

On Tuesday of last week Mr.. Blaine
made his first speech in the Maine cam
paign at Sebago Lake. He has since made
speeches to large gatherings in other places.
He points out and defines the issues which
divide parties in the country as a whole in
stead of combining himself to matters of
purely state concern which, indeed, can
seldom be adequately discussed separately
and without reference to policies of more or
less Importance affecting the general well
fare. Mr.. Blaine naturally selected the tar
i'll question as presenting the most essential
features of antagonism between the repub-
lican and democratic parties, and demon
strated the value of protection to home in
dustries and those engaged in them by illus
tration, showing clearly that it has enhanced
the prosperity of the nation and the people
to an extraordinary degree Evidence OF
this appears in the records of savings bank
deposits during periods of free-trade and
protection compared. In the course OF
some remarks upon labor troubles, Mr.
Blaine still further elaborated the advan
tages of protection, and pointed out the folly
and danger of indifference regarding it. He
also took occasion to warn w6rkingmen o
the peril to their interests which is involved
in negecting to assert and maintain thu
rights OF the million and a half or more o
colored laborers in the Southern States
The difference which exists between the re
publican and democratic parties in respec
to promoting industrial interests was effect
lively set forth and emphasized by the cita
ton of facts Being himself a New En-
glander addressing New Englanders, Mr.
Blaine would hardly have been excusable
he had failed to discuss the fisheries dispute

A Just Criticism.
tFrom the Brooklyn Eagle.


Whether Mr. Edmunds is reelected or
not his prestige has departed and his power
is broken. From the pedestal of purity, on
which he has been sustained by thought
less or interested worshipers, he has been
displaced by the candid exposition of undis-
puted facts. Judged by the standard under
which the Edmunds purists rejected Mr..
Blaine, they are compelled to refuse to coun-
tenance further the object in other days of
their veneration and alteration AS shown
by the republican adversaries OF the Ver-
mont senator, there is not much to choose
between him and his beaten rival on the
side of official morality No more effective
weapon has been brought into the senato-
rial contest than reference to Edmunds
course on the Beck resolution. This resOlu-
ton, it will be remembered, sought to rem
edy long-standing abuse by prohibiting
members of congress from appearing as the
attorneys of corporations which have Sc
or in other cases where the subject of litiga-
ton would come before congress for deter
mination. The resolution was timely and
proper. Its purpose was honest and its ef-
feet directly in the line of official integrity
and propriety. But the adoption of the
resolution would have interfered with the
extensive and lucrative practice which, by
reason of his senatorial relation, Mr.. Ed
munds has been able to secure. To save
his practice and help himself Mr.. Edmunds
opposed the resolution. BY that act he did
what he had accused Mr.. Blaine of doing
namely, of indirectly utilizing the power
conferred by his official relation for his ulti
mate private advantage. The Blaine meI
have made bad showing for Edmunds
They may fail in the effort to defeat him fol
senator, but they have crippled him as &
political leader and destroyed the POSSIBLE
tiles of his accession to the presidency. His
fate is not to be deplored because it is de-
served, 1t is the fitting penalty of the in
sincerity and pretentious phariseeism which
have been the marked characteristic of this
self-seeking and thrifty politician.

A Little History.



The name of Mr.. Edmunds was promi-
nent in the last national convention. The
number of Edmunds delegates was not large,
but they were men of prominence and of
character There were names before the
convention just as illustrious. They were
the names of men who are as pure, as high
minded, as honest and as able as Mr.. Ed
munds. Some of these men were supported
by votes before the convention. Others
were dark horses. There were John Sher-
man. Chester A. Arthur, John A. Logan,
Robert T. Lincoln, General Hawley and a
host of others. When the work of the con-
vention was completed these men, with
whole-souled generosity to their successful
rival and ambitious for nothing but the sue
cess of the republican party and the welfare
of the country, sent congratuatory dis
patches to the convention upon its work.
The one man who hung back at this mo-
ment of general rejoicing was George f.
Edmunds. AS telegram after telegram was
read before the convention, the delegation
from Vermont waited eXpectantly to hear
the name of Edmunds read as the signer of
such message, but they waited in vain,
and at last hung their heads in shame.
Like Achilles of old, Edmunds was nursing
his wrath in his tent. There were two
papers in the state of Vermont which then,
as now, represented Mr. Edmunds so closely
that their utterances were understood to
issue from his prompting They were the
Rutland Herald and the Burlington Free
Press. For months before the presidential
convention these papers had assaulted Mr.
Blaine with a malignance and virulence
amounting to fendishness. They echoed
the assaults of papers like Hdlper's Veekly
the New York Times and the New Yorl,
EUening Post. Nothing was too bitter moth
ing too severe, nothing too caustic to be said
against the statesman of Maine. The peo
pie of Vermont will remember that the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine left these papers
with paralysis nearly akin to idiocy. They
were literally stricken down. They had
nothing to say. 1t was weeks before they
recovered their voice. 1t is fairly to be
presumed that this silence was due to the
direction of George F. Edmunds. 1t is said
that in the few weeks during which these
papers remained silent the editor of the
Burlington Free Press, at the instance O.
Mr.. EdmundS, was making diligent in
quiries among the republicans of the state
to see whether they were in condition
where a successful revolt against Mr.. Blaine
could be led by Mr.. Edmunds. There are
letters in existence which indicate that this
question was seriously debated by the Ed.
nunds machine during this interval But
whatever is the composition of the republi
canism of the Edmunds following, the
masses of the republicans of Vermont are as
true to the principles of their party as the
needle is to the pole. The men who were
seeking signs for great bolt in Vernon
found that they could do absolutely nothing
at all in that direction, and these papers re
luctantly came to the support of the nationa
ticket.
