publican tCuguC clubs Of !-erm0nt:
The president Of the republican league Of
the United States in letter TO the secretary
of our State league says: Il desire
through you to extend to the clubs Of the
state league of your State my heartfelt

generous manner III which they have re

OF the members and SO grandly displayed
itself through this campaign, Let Il,
It and together that the league may grow
and It's usefulness be continued for the
welfare of our country and homes"
The officers of the State lea -ue also give
you hearty thanks for your effective work
in the campaign.
Within the past year the democratic
party, encouraged by three years Of pow
er, moved in a body on its iavorte line OF
progressive free trade. The movement,
though disapproved by the sober thought Of
the AmC "ican people, was 4 formidable one
and could only be met by organized OPP
position. Such opposition was made by
the republican league, national, State and
local, and was active and efficient months
before the republican national convention
met. That convention adopted Il pla
tres made most prominent and to our
great satisfaction named the man Of oul
choice as its candidate for president and
also made Il worthy son Of Vermont it,

Vermont was the first Northern state Il

Carinn FOR its own.

Intelligent, independent, self-reliant
care for its own interests has been mark
ed characteristic of our Green Mountain
state. Vermont cared for her coming
generations when she established her sys
TEN Of public education in the very iu
fancy of the common wealth. She has
cared for her own credit and standing, by
putting forward the best men, in public
life, and permitting no aristocracy of
wealth or birth among her citizens. She
cared Tor her own, when at the outbreak
of the war she paid her soldiers seven dol
lars mouth State pay, in addition to the
government pRy. She cared for her own
wnen she brought home her sick and
wounAsd soldiers by thousands during the
war to regain health and strength in the
pure sir of our hills, rather than to Ian
guish and die in the great army hospitals
further South. She has cared for her own
in the establishment of the Soldiers
Home In the care of her insane in the
establishment of the Reform school, and
in mauy other Intelligent and tar
seeing ways. 1t is simply caring for her
own now to care for her state Univer-
sity. The University is her own child,
created by the State, bearing the L me of
the State; and identified wholly with the
interests of the State. 1t exists for the
benefit Of no man or set of men for the
benefit OF no locality, but for the benefit OF
the State at large. If it languishes, the
credit OF Vermont suffers. If it prospers
its growth is for the general prosperity. 1t
offers its services to the young men Of ON
state without distinction of class or wealth
aud to many of them without charge, and
gives them the llinl of education they de
sire, be it industrial, agricultural, scientific
or classical If these young men remain
n home after graduating they will stay to
/ be the better citizens for their college train
! ing, and to help to build up our State far
more efficiently than they could otherwise
do. II they 90 to other States they will
| carry with them love Of their State anC
| gratitude for the education they re
ceived at its hands, and viii
/ help to make Vermont honoIed
and respected, wheever they cast their
lot. We believe that our legislators al
Montpelier will take a broad and liberal
view of this subject, and that they will see
that in voting the small annual appro
priation asked for, for the University aud
Agricultural college, they are simply car
ing for their own true interests, and ap
proving an outlay, moderate at largest
every dollar of which will come back q
the people of our State, with interest.

The result OF the late election shows that
several of the southern commonwealth
must hereafter be counted RS doubtful
States. In a voting population of 300 1000,
the democrats OF Virginia lead by only
1900, and in West Virginia only the
official count can determine the re
suit to a certainty Maryland, North
Carolina, Missouri aud Tennessee
are also closer States this year than ever
before. The republicans are not likely to
indulge in any of Col. Brice's rainbow
visions and claim the electoral vote Of all
these States for the next presidential cleo
ton, hut 1t is certain that these facts will
have an important bearing on that con
test. The doubtful States in 1892 will be
south of Mason and piXon's line rather
than north of it.

Practical Education.

What have been the practical results of
the attempt to unite classical and indus
trial education in one university In Yer
mont This question was ca efully con
sidered by the able investigating commit
tee of the Legislature appointed in 1874 to
look into the affairs Of the State Agrcul-
tural college. They found that of the 1875
graduates who had left the University TO
eater IN the duties of life, since the recent
union of the University and Agricultu-
raj college, two had died. and the
pursuits in life of seven were unknown.
"Of the remaining ll6, said the committee
in their report, 'of the remaining liz,

suits, for which the classical course is

college of lo65 These results indicate a

The Washington correspondent of the

highly confidential relations" with the
president, and who spent the night of cleo
ton day with him, as saying that Mr..
Cleveland had about given up the election
before the returns began to come in He
feared, this gentleman says, the farmer
vote, giving as reason that the farmers
could not be reached as easily us city
folks either by literature or speakers, and
mat 1t takes them longer to grasp an idea
IMAM the mechanics and operatives" Well.
1t was largely the farmer vote that laid
out Mr.. Cleveland; but it was not because
1t takes them so very long to grasp an
idea, that it went against him, and the
man who thinks the farmers of this coun.
try are less intelligent than the operatives,
does not understand the people over whom
he presides.

A New Departure.

Messrs. Smith s. Humphrey have Just
added an extensive fur department to
their clothing store and for this purpose
they have lluished off their basement and
changed it into a handsome salesroom.
Here they display a large stock Of Iurs in
Gliding fur coats and caps as we'll as a
fine line of fur robes. Their coats are
made from selected skins especially for
them and are known as the famous st.
Paul north star coat. The advantages
claimed for these coats are that the fur
will not stiffen by wettng as no acids are
used in dressing the skins they are sewed
with linen thread and will not rip; they
are well made as only skilled hands are
employed, and are guaranteed the best
fur coats In the market,
Messrs. Smith & Humphrey have also
LAID In large stock of winter clothing,
for men and boys, and as they make a

The Fate of the Woman suffrage Bill

a year ago, bill giving to women who
hold property in their own names and pay
taxes, right to vole on municipal affairs,
passed the lower branch Of our Legisla-
ture by large majority. 1t might have
passed the Senate but for the crusade
made in its support by some outside re
formers, who admitted that they wanted
municipal suffrage simply az step
towards general extension of the suffrage
TO women, which is quite another matter.
This year a similar bill has failed in the
House by vote of nearly five to one. The
result is attributable largely to the intU-
euce Of the Vermont women, who feel
That they have burdens enough without
assuming new ones and also in a meas
ure, no doutt, to the alliance of the Wom-
an-.utfragiats WITH the third party.
When the good, true, wise and woman
~ women oil Vermont desire municipal
suffrage they will have il. Their position
| as wa said when the subject was first
agitated in Vermont, is ''one Of practical
supremacy and no measure which Will
cOndnce to their happiness or welfare will
be denied by the stronger half OF our com
municy. As they feel Al present, to ur>e
municipal suffrage as an opening wedge
for a much greater change which shat
! lay on orr women all the cares, labors anC
responsibilities OF political life, is to secure
| their distinct opposition to the measure,

footngs bear out remarkably the esti-
mates of the republican State commit

a plurality of $3.50 north of the Harlem
river, and q democratic plurality Of 10000

plurality north of the Harlem river &C

mission is unanimously of the opinion
that a permanent camp ground, centrally
located and convenient Of access from all
parts Of the State, sufficiently removed
from ATTY large village and the home of

the discipline aud efficiency oil Tue militia,
Dut Viii prove in the end more economical
to the'StAte than the present method Of

Tn commission is also united in the be
llel that where the quality and quantity
or land, the water supply, railroad facii-
tles ana economy Of Transportation are
equal, the question Of location should be
decided on strictly military grounds.
