first ballot his friends scattered their
ballots among all the other cand1-
dates. There were several reasons
why the Caledonian wanted Mr..
Hazen returned, but the majority
wanted Col Walker and we hope he
will make a record to be proud OF
over to Montpelier.
In this place each candidate on the
prohibition state ticket received %
votes. H. A. Fletcher received 567,
against George w. Smith 90; Henry
F. Field $40, against G. F. o. Kim
ball 1877; c. W. Brownell 500,
against D. c. Pollard 1877, and E. H.
Powell 500. against Elisha May 1877.
Caledonia county will give Page
about as handsome a majority as
any county in the state. The county
vote stood. Page 225S, Brigham
1906, Allen 1OS. In 1888 there were
cast 5000 republican, 1881 demo-
cratic and 175 prohibition votes and
in 1886 the republicans had 22S7,
the democrats 1854 and the prohibi
tionists 274. Pages pluralityis $50.
The Brattleboro representative
contest was fought entirely on the
post office contest and the Hooker
faction was beaten again. The vote
is considered in BrattlebOro as fit
ting rebuke to those would-be lead
ers, who would arrogate to them
selves the right to punish those
representative republicans who,
from principle, had successfully advo-
Gated the retention of a democratic
postmaster.
Hosea Mann Jr., who has been re-
elected from Wilmington to the next
Legislature, will be one of the candi-
dates for speaker. He was born in
Wilmington in 1858 and is therefore
a young man. He was member of
the House in 1SS6-SS and introduced
the bill to create a commissioner of
agriculture and is therefore promi-
nentlv identified with the Swedish
immigration scheme. He is a promi-
nent Wilmington lawyer and presi-
dent of the Vermont Loan and Trust
company of rattlebOrO.
The hottest and most prOtracted
contest for representative in the state
occurred at Rutland, and resulted in
the utter defeat of Percy w. Clement,
republican, owner of the Rutland
Herald and the recognized head of
the high license movement. After
four ballots, lasting till 800 Wednes-
day morning, Thomas w. Maloney,
democrat, was declared elected by
81. majority. Over 200 prohibition
lists voted for the democratic candi-
date and the result is regarded as n
great blow against local option.

Hon. Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park
is elected governor of Vermont and
the Green Mountain state will have
a wise and economical executive at
its head The vote throughout the
state was much smaller than usual
and the democra tic party made gains
in many places, particularly i'll the
Legislature where they will have
about so members. The head of the
republican ticket was scratched in
many towns, and by republicans
who were expected to vote for the
nominee of the Montpelier conven-
ton This issue was particularly
prominent in Lamoille county and
Hon. p. K. Gleed of Morrisville was
defeated for town representative by
anti-Page republicans. The farmers
will be heard from in the next Legis-

attention was paid to economy and
less to commissions and insane asy-

Those people and those towns who
do not believe that lecture course
is of any benefit to a town are evil
IDENTIFY made up of a different kind of
material than the people of ST. Johns
bury are. That town has for num-
Der of years sustained Il good lecture
course and SO firm is their belief that
it is benefit to their town that they
promise a better course than ever
this year, having secured as one of
its chief attractions Henry M. Stan
ley, the African explorer. 1t will cost

Henry M. Stanley appears in the
St. Johnsbury lecture course Jan. 10
next. 1t is probably safe to predict
that the audience will be the largest
that ever gathered in that town, and
it is extremely doubtful if the village
has an auditorium anywhere near
large enough to accommodate those
who will desire to attend. The ap-
pearance of Stanley will be decidedly
the event of the season in this state,
and the management is entitled to
much credit for securing his presence.

Some idea of the size of the obstacle
in Congress known as the Mckinley
bill may be inferred when it is re-
corded that in four weeks of close
application the Senate has disposed
of forty-three out of 191 passages of
the bill.
Stretton, the eminent English engi-
neer, says that locomotive of the
present type can run only eighty
miles an hour A higher speed is
prevented by the resistance of the air,
the friction, and the back pressure in
the cylinders because of the impossi-
bility of getting the exhaust steam
out fast enough.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Saturdays Portland Advertiser
contained a four page supplement de
voted entirely to the glOrificatiOn of
Thomas B. Reed, which would seem
to indicate that the Speaker has to
hustle to keep up with the vigorous
campaign the democrats are making
against him.
On another page is reprinted a re-
view of the disgraceful scenes in the
House last week. The fact that it
was entirely a republican row will
not help the party at all in the fall
campaign. The Boston Record
scores Speaker Reed for not attend
ing to the ordinary rules of decencv
which are recognized, it says, in every
parliamentary body except the
American Congress, and the New
York Sun describes Cannon as an
"unspeakable loafer" and demands
his expulsion from Congress in very
strong language.

Representative Walker.

Col. Francis Walker was born in
Peacham in 1925 and educated at
Peacham Academy When about 81
years of agehe came to ST. .Johnsbury
and entered the scale shops. He
has resided here ever since, and for
nearly 35 years has been foreman of
the foundry, and no small part of
the success of the Fairbanks scales is
due to him. He has always been
hard political worker but always for
some one other than himself He
has never held any town or county
office, but has always been identified
with every movement which prom
ised good for the town and its peo-
pie. He is a staunch republican, and
enters the Legislature unpledged on
measures that are sure to come up.
Senator Nichols.
Albro F. Nichols was born in Lyn-
don in 1850 and studied law in St.
Johnsbury, first with Belden & May
and later with Belden & Ide He
was admitted to the bar in 1873 and
in 1876 he located at West Concord.
While there he was elected states
attorney and served with such salts
faction that he was twice reelected.
He moved to ST. Johnsbury in 1888
and has since made this place his
home. He was appointed county
clerk, Jan. 81, 1888, to succeed the
late A. E. Rankin and now holds
that position. He is a prominent
Mason and man of wide acquaint-
ance throughout the state.
Election Notes.
Congressman Grout received the
largest vote in ST. Johnsbury of any
one candidate and a glance at the
county table shows that he ran
ahead of the ticket in several other
towns.
Yesterdays papers gave the repre-
sentative vote from 139 towns and
the only man elected who was a
member of the last Legislature was
Hosea Mann of Wilmington. This
seems to be an "off year" for second
term men.
William E. Peck must have felt
gratified at the handsome vote given
him for town representative. The
democrats made no mistake when
they put their strongest candidate
in the field Such man is sure to
draw votes from the other side
Mr.. Hazen bears up his defeat
gracefully, just as everybody knew
he would if he was not elected. He
did not ask anybody to vote for him
and had no organiza ton. After the

be present and see his old friend, Col
Walker, elected to such an honorable

Col. Walker then invited all to go

Governor ever elected by the voters Of Vir-
ginia, is out in letter announcing that he

question if anything has been written which
has condensed into as few lines SO scathing
an arraignment of the Harrison Reed-M Nc
Kinley party which has taken the place of
the Republican party, as does the ex-Gov.

the thoughts which are in the heart OF

IEIERSBURei, A., september Ii, 1880.
Dear SIR Until now any reply to your
favor OF the goth OF August has been precluded
by painful illness, from which | have had as
yet only partial relief. 1t had been nv wish
in response to your queries to give not only my
views as to the duty of southern men in the
political crises now rapidly eliminating, but
to set forth at length the reasons which form
the basis of that conclusion. AS it is. my ply
steal condition preScTibes the utmost breyity
that is consistent with cleafhess, and l must
postpone all argument as to the Soundness of
my opinion and the propriety of my position
to some more convenient season.
have been taught by the events of eighteen
months past that men of our antecedents and
convictions can no longer with self-respect
lend our voices, our votes, OF even the mega
party as it is eXpounded by the organization
in this State, or as it is administered by the
present Executive and legislative departments
OF the United States Government. The Re-
publican party preserves no longer the SEM
blance of speaking for the entire country, but
bases its claim to supremacy on
SECTIONAL PREJUDICEs AND SECTIONAL IN
TEREsTs, PURE AND SIMPLE.
Not only so, but the directors of its policy
have not hesitated in attainment of their ends
to prostitute the plighted faith of the party in
sight of all the world, and to renounce in
solemnly made in the Chicago platform. They
stand self-convicted not only of false pretence
and punic faith, but OF mathematical malig-
nancy i'll seeking to retain power by reinvok-
ing the war sentiment at the North and West
and by resurrecting all the stock phrases of
fanaticism and sectionalism which could stir
tile South into resentment and retort.
Their object was and is to force the fighting
as between solid North and a solid South,
and at the same time to use the small con-
ttingent of southern Republicans in Congress
to minimize the power of the South by such
political denominations as the Lodge bill, and
by so framing a tariff law (under pretext of
protection to American labor and American
products) as to
INCREASE EVERY BURDEN OF THE CUSTOMS
upon the weaker section, and as to leave in
force IN all its shameless inequality the reve-
nue. tax upon the tobacco of Virginia, Caro-
Ina, Tennessee, Kentucky Missouri, Mary
land, and Florida. The utterances of Mi.
NC kinley on the floor of the House Che the
patron Of the Chicago platform and the leader
OF the House OF Representatives and the chair
man nan OF the committee which framed the tariff
DllD, and the action of the Senate on Monday
IN regard to the tobacco clause, constitute an
OPEN DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST
SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT.
And we must realize that this action, apart |
from its Inherent injustice, IS deliberate. |
wanton, and absolute Justification of solemn
promise given to the tobacco States by the Ma
:. onal Convention. The record on the Blair
Dill IS no better. And the tariff act with its
so-called revision aud equalization of import
auties, prlStles with determinations against
