One of the startling developments Of
the early part of the campaign of ISIS,
ia the positive expression of Vermont in
favor of Blaine's denomination. Both
the State Convention and the district
conferences are practically solid for
Blaine, and obviously forgetiul OF the
bitter taste the name Of Blaine leaves in
the mouth Of Senator Edmunds.
Since 1876, the Vermont Republicans
have been coaching Senator Ejmunds
for the Presid ncy, and in 1894, he and
his friends suiked in their tents until the
closing days of the battle, when they fell
in with undisgused reluctance The
State was regarded as thoroughly soured
on Blaine and Jingoism generally; but
nov, when Blaine has declined, Vermont,
the Republ can star that never sets,
comes up smiling for Blaine and demands
his nomination.
When Vermont, under the very eye OF
Blaine hating Edmunds, iops tlatfooied
over to Blaine, and leaves Edmunds
yoiceless in the delegation To Chicago, it
looks as If Blaine was TO be forced into
the fight against all corners Well, Blaine
will most enthuse eighty per cent. OF the
Republicans of the land; but how about
the odd twenty per Philadelphia

not been elected, and kept Mr.. Tilden in
