VERMONT POLITICS.
Special to the Gazette.
MONTPELIER VT, Sept. THE Dem
ocrats of Vermont think the increased
vote is due to their unqualified stand for
tariff reform, high license, ballot re-
form aud retrencnmept IN state ex-
penses, questions that the farmers and
lsboring men are awakening to-the
fact that tariff ls tax, and that they have
TO pay that tax; that the eyes OF the
thinking men have been opened to a
realization Of tariff reform and they will
vote with the party that favors such re-
form. Republicans claim that the de-
creased majority is due to the fact that
this is an off year, that the party was in
bad shape from the embitteTed canvass
for gubernatorial nomination and that
the Republican votes for the state ticket
we're traded for Democratic votes for
high-license Republican representatives,
as up TO to-day siXty-two Democratic
representatives have been reported
elected, with forty other towns to hear
from. Such reason is not very good.
The Democrats had only eighteen in the
last legislature. Figures received to-day
show q Republican majority of "A 900.
KANSAS REPUBLICANS.
TOPEKA, KAN. Sept. 4.-The Repub-
lican state convention was called to order
at 1880 this morning and Immediately
proceeded to ballot for treasurer. On
the fifth ballot T. G. Glover was nom
mated. The committee on resolutions
then reported long platform, of which
the following is a synopsis: We are in
favor of the principle of protection as
expounded by the great leader of Repub-
lican thought and policy, Hon. James
6. Blaine; we demand service pension
and deep water on the gulf of Mexico;
we indorse the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison and the official acts OF
Senators Ingalls, and Plumb; We tndorse
prohibition, and recommend the passase
of such additional acts as will make the
prohIbitory law more effective; We de-
clare against the alien ownership of
lands.
TOPEKA, KAN, Sept. 4.--The plat
form declares as follows on The protec-
ton policy: We ere in favor of the
principle of protection, as eKpounded
by the leader of Republican thought and
policy, James G. Blaine, and its en-
forcement to the extent of giving the
American citizen an advantage over the
grain producer, thus enabling him to
maintain his industry and to make such
fair profit as will induce others to en-
bark in the same business, believing
such policy increases the wages of labor,
creates a good home market and results
10 the benefit of all classes. We
want the same degree OF
protection to be given to agricultural
products that is extended to all other in-
terests The commercial and industrial
interests of the country demund tariff
whose maximum will not retard the
growth of foreign trade or unnaturallY
stimulate prices at home, and whose
minimum will afford all ample protection
TO every legitimate industry. A tariff
beyond such maximum is legislation in
the interest of favored few,
while tariff below such
minimum is legislation against labor.
We believe it TO be the best commercial
policy of this country to cultivate most
intimate, as well as most extended,
commercial relations with our sister re-
publics of the two American continents;
aud that il would be wise ana eXpedient
go to adjust our tariff laws so as 10 pro-
mote those relations, and at the same
time adopt such legislative policy
rs will compel countries that exercise
determined discrimination against Amer
lean products TO cease such hostility.
The state OF Kansas, by reason of its
geographical position and the character
of its products, is favorably situated for
the establishment of a great and remun-
erative trade with the neighboring re-
public of Mexico, and We favor the en-
actment of laws for fostering and en-
couraging the exchange of the products
of the two countries.
While not naming the election bill, the
platform demands of congress the pas
sage OF laws protecting the freedom and
purity of the ballot box and securing
congressional representation based upon
the actual vote cast.
The administration of President Har-
rison is Endorsed and Senators Plumb and
Ingalls, are commended.
