portant election since that time we have
done our best. We have put forward our
ablest, our most popular our most brilliant
leaders for governor and state officers, to
suffer constant defeat. The only light
which illumines with the sun of hope the
dark record of those II years is the fact
that i'm 1888 the state of New York was
triumphantly carried by President IIarri-
son. lie carried it then as a gallant sol
dier, wise senator, statesman who in
spired confidence by his public uttcrances
in daily speech from the commencement of
the canvass to its close. He still has all
these claims, and in addition an admins
traton beyond criticism and rich with the
elements of popularity with which to car
ry New York" Mr.. Depew might also
have shown that i'm the other pivotal states
Mr.. Harrison received a much larger vote
i'm 1883 than did Mr.. Blaine in 1884.
Harrison's nomination is victory for
the better element of the party; in fact a
victory of the people over the politicians.
Under the guise of enthusiasm for Blaine,
but in reality with the determination to
beat Harrison at all hazards, the profess
sonal politicians of the party worked i'm
petuously, using all the methods peculiar
to men of their class. But right was right
and the astute politicians like Platt, Fora
ker, Quay and Malone, were rebuked

The Nomination.

The action of the National Republican
convention at Minneapolis demonstrated
again that the Republican party can be
trusted to take care of itself The whole
situation is admirably summed up by Mr..
Depew in his speech in which he seconded
Harrison's nominations: Patrick Henry,
in the convention which started rolling the
ball of the independence of the colonies
from Great Britain, said: i have but one
lamp by which my feet are guided, and
that is the lamp of experience. l know
of no way of judging Of the future but

The New York Times and other Demo
cratic papers published on Friday the
statement that Senator David B. Hill had
written letter authorizing the withdrawal
of his name from further consideration for
the Democratic presidential nomination
whenever in the opinion and discretion OF
the big four of the New York Democracy
Croker, Mclaughlin, Murphy and Shee-
han-such step should be taken. Hill
promptly pronounced the report canard.
Hill is in the fight to stay. This is the
way the New York Press sees the situation
"There is a real David in the field of Dem
ocratic politics in New York, but the Coli
ath he is after is a bogus giant, full of pad
ding and platitude. David should take the
rock out of his sling and put puff ball in
its place"

1t is indeed new development in Yer
mont politics when leading newspaper,
having completely failed in desperate at
tempt to injure candidate for a high of
fee by columns of attempted belttlement
and detracton, shOwered upon him for
weeks and months in succession, finally
has recourse to the desperate eXpedient of
sending its editor on a tour of the state to
make personal canvass against the can
didate which has aroused its animosity, and
send back manufactured or garbled reports
of the state of feeling alleged to be found.
Yet this is just what the Rutland Herald
and its editor are doing. We shall see, be-
fore the end of next week, what the Repub-
licans of Vermont think of such methods.
