The Final Result.

The official returns from West Vir-
by AZ votes. If the recounts that the
democrats have demanded do not
change these figures Harrison will
have 239 electoral votes, GLORIOUS"
victory indeed.
The control of the House of Repre-
sentatives, that was at first thought to
be in the hands of republicans by a
good working majority, now seems to
be in doubt, with the chances in favor
of the republicans by a small majority.
A most hopeful feeling prevails con-
corning the outlook. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Harrison will enter the presi-
dency free of all entanglements so far
as pledges are concerned. The more
thoughtful and candid of the demo-
Gratis frankly admit that he brings to
the office clean hands as well as abili-
ty of high order. So far as Mr.. Blaine
is concerned it is believed that while
cabinet position may be offered him he
will not accept it, but, as the New
York Herald, strong Cleveland pa
per, says, eff he gives Brother Blaine
a job, Brother Blaine will be expected
to do it in HarrisOnian fashion," In
other words Mr.. Harrison will be pres

The Prohibition Vote.

Now that the contest is over people
are asking what the temperance vote
was, and those who look outside YER
mont find that the prOhibitionists made
a great gain over 1884. Then the vote
for st. John was Isl 900 while the vote
for Gen. Fisk, according to the Voice,
is "clOsely apprOximating $40, OOO."
Some of the items of increase are as
tOnishing; for instance, California
gave 1890 for st. John and between
$4,000 and $1,000 for Fisk Minnesota
increases from 1864 to IS 900 or &c, 900 :;
in Indiana over II 900 votes were cast
against little more than 1000. Two
thousand ballots were cast in Arkan-
sas, where there were none in 1884 :;
Kentucky cast nearly $1,000, almost
quadrnpling the vote of st. John :;
Mississippi brought in 1900 votes,
which is clear gain Tennessee's Fisk
vote is estimated at 5000, against st.
Johns I13I. Texas rolled up 16, 400
for Gen. Fisk, Ohio l6,93I, Wisconsin
1884 and Illinois 1926. The vote
fell off in Vermont and Massachusetts
and the increase in New York was
very slight. These figures Indicate
that the third party has come to stay
and one cannot easily predict what pO-
litical changes must inevitably come if
the prOhibitiOnists keep up their gains
in future elections.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

''To the victors belong the response
bilities," says the Boston Transcript,
commenting on the election.
As between Frank H. Bascom's insult
ing telegram to President Cleveland,
and Hiram Atkins's good natured edi-
torial in the Argus acknowledging de-
feat, we think the latter comes out way
ahead. Atkins well deserves defeat,
but he has sense enough to accept it
decently, which is more than can be
said of BascOm's acceptance of victory
over his old enemies.
The fact that normal school girl at
Philadelphia has lately been paralyzed,
as physicians say of over-exercise in
calisthenics, should be warning to all
that good thing can be overdone, and
that even so desirable thing as ply
steal exercise may result disastrously if
carried to excess.
The question whether to accept Rev.
William III. Noyes as foreign mission
airy or not is still being agitated in re-
ligiOus circles. The prudential COM
mittee of the American Board have
written the Berkeley street church, of
which Mr.. Noyes is member, stating
why the board declines to send him to
the foreign field under their auspices.
Mr.. NOyes replies in a letter to the
church in which he claims that his
position in regard to probation after
death was misunderstood.

Thanksgiving proclamation.
Here is Gov. Dillingham's proclama-

Here is Gov. Dillingham's proclama-
ton:
In conformity with established GUS
tom and in devOut recognition of it's
holy character, ] do hereby designate
Thursday, the twenty ninth day of No
vember, instant, to be observed as a
day of praise and thanksgiving to AL
mighty God for His gracious dealings
with us as state and as individuals
during the year now drawing to close.
1t is fitting that we, to whom the
lines have fallen in pleasant places,
whose heritage is peace, prosperity
and liberty, should perpetuate this
holy custom instituted by our fathers
while dwelling under the shadow of
pestilence and famine on the shores of
hostile wilderness, enduring hardship
and danger that humanity might re-
cover it's rights.
Let US, therefore, assemble in the
usual places of public worship and
ascribe unto God the honor due His
glorious name; and in the reunion of
families and friends, and in deeds of
love and charity, give expression to
the gratitude we feel toward Him in
whom we live and move and have our
being.

1t was cOmical to notice the brother
hood and sisterhood of self-constituted
musical critics which has been formed
in Montpelier since Mary Howe sang
at the opera house last Thursday
night. Undoubtedly these good souls
are sincere in what they say, but if
they would reflect bit they would
see that they are making themselves
ridiculous. Miss Howe has been judg-
ed as we'll nigh perfect by celebrated
masters of music in Dresden, Vienna
and other centers, who know more
about music in one week than Mont
pelier will ever know she has delight
ed and charmed critical audiences in
the old world but it remained for her
to visit the Capital of Vermont to have
her voice dissected and cautiously
criticised by the omniscient critics of
Montpelier.

THE LEGISLATURE.

What is Being Done i'm Montpelier.
Monday was the last day for intro
dncing bills and the legislators made
the most of their time. In the house
73 bills were put in bringing the grand
total up to 439.
The judiciary committee, after a
number of hearings, reported the
woman's suffrage bill without COM
ment or suggestion and it is likely to
be pretty vigorously discussed. The
Free Press says the committee stood
three in favor of and six opposed to
the bill.
The educational committee of Che
legislature reported Tuesday substi-
tnte school bill in place of the one re-
ported by the commissioners and
which the committee has had under
consideration since the opening of the
session. The bill differs only in few
unessential particulars from the origi-
nal measure. Apprehension is felt by
some lest the legislature will adjourn
before passing the bill.
Among the hearings of the week was
one before the special temperance
committee on Representative .Pitkin's
license bill. Mr.. Pitkin, Clarence Pit
kin and John Senter spoke for the bill
and w. II. S. Whitcomb of Burlington
appeared against it in behalf of the
Good Templars. John Young of New
pOrs, Rev. j. A. Pierce, chaplain of the
senate, and Mr. Shattuck of Bridge
water also opposed the measure.
The Nicaragua canal bill has passed
the house unanimously.

Raymond & Whitcomb's Tours Through
Mexico

There could not possibly be more comfortable
or delightful way of seeing Mexico than Raymond
& Whitcomb have provided. A special schedule
enables the party to visit many QUITO the-way
points and to see much that ordinary tourists miss
altogether. The route to be travelled south OF the
Rio Grande comprises 5000 miles, and the
leading cities on four different lines of railway
will be visited. Several new and important points
have been added this season. There will be three
excursions the present season, in place of two
with January IA, February H. and March IL as
the dates of departure. The two former will in
clude California, and the third will omit Caifor-
mia and therefore cover only forty-seven days. In
of excursions direct to Southern California, De-
eember g. January and 10, February T. H. and
IS, and March and IL, and Two trips to Washing
ton. the only ones the present season. January is
and February Is; w. Raymond, 296 Washingto
street, opposite School street Boston, will be hap
Ply to supply descriptive circulars of any of the
