AS whole the vote of the State
shows an unexpected drop. Local
causes in measure may account for
this But there is no doubt but the
most serious factor has been the Aus.
tralian ballot system. This was ap.
piled 10 towns under 5000 inhabitants
for the first time Tuesday. Some of
the voters did not understand its
operations thoroughly and remained
from the polls. More failed to mark
their ballots properly, with the result
that their votes were lost. We can
easily believe that this loss ran IS
high as 10 per cent of the vote as est,s
mated in Vermont. This loss, Of
course, fell most heavily upon the Re-
publicans, as the larger towns, the
Democratic strongholds, were famil-

tiODs, and, as a result, the number of
imperfect ballots was small. But
despite the sharp democratic cam
paign and the popularity of Col.
Smalley, the democratic leader re-
ceived a smaller vote than any leader
of the party in a preslden tial year for
twenty years. This certainly is a
significant commentary on the
"change of sentiment" which the
democrats have been 80 loudly de-
cIaring as having taken place in Yer

republicans have too practical a
knowledge of the benefits of protec-

One feature about the election has
been the delay in getting the returns.
This, of course, has been due to the
slower counting entailed by the

The ailegOrical float representing Justice

the young girls were charming and it was
generally remarked that pretter girls could

and the men and maidens excellently cos
tuned.
The trade floats showed considerable in
genuity and skill in their get-up. The
clgar-makers' float was evidently designed

trast between union and slave labor could
not have been more forcibly depicted.
The dning-room and kitchen represented

expense of providing floats are eutitled to
the greatest praise, not only. for doing so
but for the admirable skill displayed in the
arrangement of the various designs.

with this hope that l look forward to the
solution of this question. having full faith
in the ultimate good sense Of the Anglo

The unwrltten law of the working classes
has by common consent set apart May the
1st Of each year rs a Labor day. The set
ting apart of September as another holi-
day on the same subject is, in my judgment,
unnecessary and a tax on honest labor with
out any Tecompense.
Statistics show that about one-sixth of
the working classes are members of trades
unions. This one-siXth claims the right TO
dictate to the other fve-sxths, and use
Labor-day demonstrations as a means TO
that end.
The true alleviation of the conditions Of
the working man will be done under the
banner Of peace in harmony with employ

Labor day is a memory Of a conquered

Labor days have been Instituted by the
trades unions and most appropriately. TO T

In the achievement and maintenance OF

stration of men who do not represent tile
American principle OF Individual libsrty;
but coDsists OF men who are members Of
trades unions, federated tngetteT and di-
rected by chiefs of this fedora ton. whose
chief object is 10 restrict the avenues of
labor and is designed to prevent labor from
obtaining employment. except under certain
conditions enforced by the arbitrary laws
of trades unions.
These unions have for their object in con-
solidstion the strengthening Of their ergan-
iZation TO such an extent as to be able to.
prevent any man from working at any trade
or occupation unless he belongs TO their
organization.
They deny the right Of man to obtain
employment unless lie has so surrendered
his Individual liberty as to comply with

defeat any free employment of worthy men
