WEST RANDOLPH VT. SEPT. II. 1890.

Hosea Mann. .Jr.. who has been re-
elected from Wilmington to the next
Legislature, win 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 ISS7-SS and introduced the
bill to create commissioner Of agri-
culture and is therefore prominently
identified with the Swedish immigra-
ton scheme. He is a prominent VIII
mington lawyer and president Of the
Vermont Loan and Trust company Of
Brattleboro.-St. .Jolmsbury Caledon-
ian.
The representative contest IN Rnt-
land was an exciting one and resulted
finally in the choice Of I. w. Moloney
the young democratic leader. T W.
Clement, the principal owner OF the
Rutland Herald, and the head Of the
Rutland high license movement, was
the regular Republican nominee and
led on the first ballot with 600 votes a.
gainst 412 for Moloney 1862 for 1. w.
Brown and 252 for +. C.. Lewis, the
latter being the prohibition candidate.
On the second ballot the candidates
held practically the same strength as
on the first, but on the third ballot Mo-
loney led and on the fourth he was e.
lected bv 657 votes TO jl4 for Clement,
81 for Brown and Is for Lewis. On
the last ballot there was lively bustllng
about to drag voters out Of beds and
get them to the polls. The result was
not declared until after 3 O'Clock We'd
nesday morning. For governor the
vote stood 903 for Page to $50 for
Brigham. In 1888 Dillingham; had
1898. Shurtlefi,, 9G2.

Randolph may well be proud Of her
representatiye-elect, X. J. Kimball.
The Burlington Free Press, Rutland
Herald. St. Albans Messenger and 9th
er leading papers in the State place his
name among the leaders OF the next
House and none Of them place it lower
than sixth in the list and several as
high as third. This is an honor to the
good old town of Randolph.

The contest for the speakership viii
lie between II. r.. Start Of Bakersfield
Hosea Mann, Jr., Of Wilmington and
L. II. Thompson Of Irasburg. As the
latter is from Orleans county, which
has had the speakership for two sess-
ions it would seem as though one of
the two first named would be chosen.
Both are good men and would do hon
or to the position.

The Portland Press sizes it up IN
this way The republicans OF the
Green Mountain state have simply IN
dulged in a little kicking over local
issues in an off year.
Altogether the shaking up which
the Green Mountain State experienced
was far the iveliest ever known since
the Republican party was formed
New York Evening Post.
The democrats have great talent for
rejoicing. When they are successful OF
course. they rejoice, like other people ,
and when they are beaten only about
half as badly as usual-as IN Nt.---'
they rejoice twice as much.-Boston
Transcript.
Vermont being almost at a standstill
in the matter Of population, the posi-
bic vote remains almost changeless, but
the republicans numbering more than
two to one democrat. do not always
turn out in their Cpll strength, while
the democratic vote is almost constant.
This year absenteeisin Is seen at its
worst. Vermont indications do not
count for much-otherwis the statisti-
clans would look forward to political
revolution Philadelphia Ledger.
The democrats in Vermont have been
celebrating, not because they carried
the state at the recent election, but be-
cause they might have been licked worse
and in more places than they were.
One cannot help admiring those YER
mont democrats they are 50 thankful
for small favors, they are such fine ex-
poneuts Of the spirit Of Mark Tapley.
Let Vermont go Republican by any less
than twenty odd thousand and they
feel warranted IN organizing a halcyon
and vociferous spree.-New York
Tribune.

ton aud lis Importance and Significance
Is from .he Boston Journal just before

the significance Of maiesiiiss, and when

Census bulletins are now frequently
sent out. We have just received no.
s which deals with the slate interest.
This is much larger than one would
suppose without looking into the mat
ter. The point of interest with us is,
that Vermont stands second on the list
OF slate-producing States. Penrsylva-
MIA ranks first. Only twelve States
produce slate, although quarries are
soon to be opened in two or three 9th

vermont Press on the Election.

Vermont Press on the Election
Like the steamer on the Mississippi,
the Vermont republican craft blew a.
way so much steam in nominating
governor that it had barely enough
left TO get into port.-St. Albans Mess
enger.
The farmers will be heard from in
the next Legislature and it is about
time that more attention was paid TO
economy and less to commissions and
insane asylms. st. Johnsbury Cal

Tuesday was truly a day of''astonish-
ers, ? so far as results in the matter Of
representatives 20. In such Of these
places as we are conversant with the
'.inwardness" OF the fight, factional
differences in the republican household
are responsible for the oa,come.--Bel-
lows Falls Times.
The result of Tuesdays election in
the state at large may be summed up
in the single statemept that for the re-
publicans it was ''go-as-you-please
year, while the Democrats held their
forces together, brought them to the
polls, and kept their vote up to the
hisA-water mark. There was un-
donbtedly an unusual feeling ofRepub-
lcan apathy and indifference all over
the state, and added to this was an evi-
dent disposition everywhere TO fight
out local issues and let political result
take care of itself. II was this latter
factor, Enthusiastically, which gave the
election to so many democratic repres-
entatiyes. That there is in the gener-
al result any indication Of a decline IN
Republican strength which has come
10 stay. there is not the least reason
for believing. Brattleboro Phoenix.
When the size of the vote Is consid-
cred the election of Tuesday is not as
much of a sWaterloo" 10 the republic
can partv as or democratic friends
would ike 10 believe. The decreased
republican vote is the principle cause Of
reduced maioriiies on the State and
county tickets, while there is 40 per-
ceptible gain ia the democratic totals
natural increase and extra work except
"a. The democrats worked like bea-
vcrs aud shouted high license. which,
with some other boomerangs served as
..good enough Morgans until after cleo
ton. The republicans made no cam
vass to speak Of and cared apparently
very little for the issues so heartily sup
ported BY The democracy.-Benningto
Banner.
1t is claimed by the Rutland people
that The Herald is really responsible
tor the defeat Of the republican repre-
sentative in Rutland They say it has
snarled 1t everybody during the cam
vass from the republican candidate for
governor until its proprietor was forced
lpon the party to its defeat. 1t did not
even raise the republican State ticket
until after its master wanted an Office
Then up went the ticket, Carroll ,
PAGE at its head. Il has growled at
the States attorney, the sheriff, Prose-
cutting Officer Spelhnan, and has been
satisfied with nothing II viii learn
that men have "A sense OF feeling and
long memories. The Herald has been
beaten within the republican party IN
every political move even to the nonli-
nation of Silas l.. Griffith. for which
the democratic party are duly thank

Election in Vermont
EDITORIAL MOTIFS.

Randolph has the honor Of being the
only one Of the large towns in the state
that kept themajority for governor any
where near up to that given w. p.
Dillingham; in 1858. II then gave him
339 majority and Page received 333, a
falling of Of only 6. If the whole
state had voted in the same ratio Pages
majority would have been 1929.

J.K. Darling, republican, was elect

iority on the 10Th ballot. The contest
through the day was between the iarm-

The returns from some Of the towns
show clearly that the Republicans did
not do just the proper thing. It was
supposed that the controversy between
Page and Woodbury. ended at the time
Of the Safe Convention. So far as
these gentlemen were concerned It did
end. but some Of their ovcr-zealous adj
hewnts appear not to have been satis-
fled with the issue of that convention.
Morristown and Eden, we are told,
Kept up the fight. This action makes
the republican majority quite small in
those towns. The result can work no
injury to Mr.. Page, but it was not a
nroner course to pursue, and the result
i discreditable TO the towns interested.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Woodbury.

Reports from Maine show a COM
plete republican victory. Reed has a
larger majority than ever before.


In view Of the election IN this town
many Of the leading republicans say
the time has come to abolish the can-
Gus TO nominate town representatives
and let all vote as they choose in town
meeting Bethel and other towns that
have adopted this plan find it works
admirably and it IS seldom more than
one ballot is required. In this way
every voter who cares TO vote IN the
election has his vote counted in nomI-
mating the man as well as electing HIM.
and as the attendance is twice or three
times as large at an election as at any
caucus it voices the sentiment OF the
people better, and saves the expense
and time of one meeting.
