VERMONT AT CHICAGO.

To the Editor of the Banner 1t is
among the fortunate circumstances of
the coming political campaign that Ben
nington County put forward an able,
intelligent and eloquent man in the per-
son of Gen. Mccullough, to represent
the State at large in the National Re-
publican Convention at Chicago. Gen.
Mccullough is a representative man,
with national reputation that will give
him power and influence for Vermont
in that body, which is very probable to
be needed on questions that arise, and
especially in the selection of a presi-
dental candidate. His wide acquaint-
ance with the public men of the country,
and especially those resident on the Pa
cific Coast-with his acknowledged
ability and mature judgment, the Yer
mont delegation guided by him, can
avoid the pitfalls that are likely to sur
round that body Dropping Gen. Nc
Cullough and Gov. Proctor out Vermont
never had so weak a delegation in a
National Convention, since the Rcpub-
lican Party was organized, as the pres
ent one. The man and the statesman
of the delegation is Gen. Mccullough.
Under the present ring dynasty that has
controlled the Republican party in Yer
mont for the past few years, our public
officials holding the more prominent
positions, have been weak men and we
are growing weaker and less potential
under the ring ule,-which seems to
have eliminated in the present delega-
ton to Chicago. Some Of the Republic
cans of the State are waking up to our
almost pitiess condition. While strong
in Congress, we are impotent at home.
Therefore it is a pleasant political re-
memberance that old historic Benning-
ton came to the rescue with stalwart
man, which prevented the ring-leaders
walking about the State and crying, 1--WE
had the entire slate IN our pocket" The
ring are now fixing up the slate for
State and County officers. But more of
the inside of the ring further on in the
canvass. ADDISON.

There is one species of argument OF
which the free traders make absolutely
no use, but which would be extremely
valuable to them. There are large mum
bers of mechanics and wage earners al
present employed in various depart
ments of industry who have had practi-
cal experience in the corresponding de-
partments of industry abroad. They
have come INTO our mills from English
or Scotch mills, for example, and they
should be able to compare their wages
and the conditions of their life before
and after coming to America. They
came here, presumably, to better Their
condition-have they done soy When
the free trader is told that the American
workingman earns more and lives better
than the foreign workingman in similar
employment, he answers bllthely that
this is because the American is the net
ter workman. This answer is gratifying
to our National pride, and il would al
most argue deficiency in patriotism il
one were to deny it. But obviously the
answer does not fit the case of these for
eign-born workers. A voyage across
the Atlantic does not make them more
skillful. If any change occurs in theil
condition, it can scarcely be accounted
for on this ground, unless it is contend
ed that the skill of the American work
man is contagious.

James Russell Lowell recently made a
speech which displayed the most pessl
mistic views possible of America and
her politics, The Utica Herald gives
the effort the following showing up:
Mr., Lowell adds to the proof that the
Mugwump detection from the Republic
can party is due to hostility to prOtec-
ton, and in favor to so called free trade.
That is the one principle which he puts
into the foreground, the one plea of gov
ernmental policy which gives Drawn
and muscle to his address. That is the
tie which binds the mugwump 80 Mr..
Cleveland and his party, There is no
thing else. Mr., Lowell says of our
country: 1--WE have gone into the man
ufacture of small politicians He has
not forgotten Lincoln, but he has no
word for Grant and Hayes and Garfield;
he seems to be ignorant OF Chase and
Waite and the other names which have
adorned the bench of the Supreme
Court; he has not scanned the roll of
Senators and Representatives who made
the period since the war to the close of
the Republican administration, worthy
to compare with any like number of
years in our ann Is. Now he turns to a
party which sets up the ex-sheriff of
Erie county for its ideal, which cannot
furnish decent candidate for chief jus
tice, which sends ex confederates to
represent American patriotism in for
eign countries, and makes the current
exhibitions of imbecility in the depart
ment and in Congress, in the presence
of which thoughtful citizens are griaved
in heart. He casts the weight of his in
fluence with the "small politicians and
with free trade. So it is true that Mr.
Lowell loudly as he boasts himself an
independent is with all his learning and
graces simply an assistant Democrat,
and nothing more,

Returns from Louisiana are slow in
arriving, but the indications are that the
usual Democratic methods have result
ed in the usual Democratic majority
Governor McEnery had it in his power
to achieve wide fame by insisting on the
fair election and fair count which he
promised, but he saw fit to throw away
his opportunity. The meagre reports
received at midnight foreshadowed as
large a majority for Nichols as that OF
McEnery in fSS4-45,000, OF course
this means the rankest kind of intimi-
dation and bulldUZing.

their customers were evidently most uneasy
More especially was this noticeable with
those of Them that had provided for current

There are others among dealers that loaded
up early, and are now competing with millers
in jobbing it out. The foreign markets
showed some late signs of weakness, but less
was said of it than on Monday. With local
mills mostly TO shut down for a weeks work
