THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

The election of President will come on
the Sth of November, and so is not a
great way Off; but even with the day
almost at hand nothing very definite can
be said as to the probable result. The
campaign has been noteworthy as the
least exciting in the history of the
country and it seems to be the most un-
certain in its outcome. The following,
from the New York sun of Monday, is Il
fair statement of the situation:
"Personally, believe that the Demo-
Gratis will carry Indiana, said member
of the Republican national campaign
committee last night. But | feel that
Harrison will pull through in New York
State. 1t is a hard fight, though, and
as election day approaches the strug-
gle will become fiercer."
"Personally, ] believe that every day
which goes over our heads" said a mem
ber of the Democratic national cam
paign committee, "makes it more diff
cult for Cleveland to carry either New
York or Indiana. While there is no up
roar about this election, a terrible fight
is going on beneath the surface
The foregoing were the expressions of
two men yesterday in the two political
national camps. They said that the
opinions they gave were conscientiously
based upon their knowledge of the situa-
ton. Both men have had wide ex-
perience in conducting Presidential
fights. Their names are AS familiar as
those of the Presidential candidates.
They expressed their opinions to The
Sun with the understanding that their
names should not be printed, and for the
reason that the voters in this canvass
seemed TO be very much in the dark as to
the probable result on Nov. s. They
also added that their views might be
changed any day. No opinion stands
just now for more than twentv-four
hours. The two men seriously declared
that they had given their honest opinion
of the struggle of the present hour.
Lack of interest in the campaign is not
confined to Vermont, 1t prevails in the
close States, like Ohio, and is general.
There seem to be two causes for it
First, indifference on the part of the
people as to whether Harrison or Cleve-
land is elected, that Indifference growing
out of feeling that things will go on
about the same in either event; and,
second, a change in the methods of con-
Quoting campaigns, the managers on
both sides paying less attention to noise,
speeches, parades and enthusiasm and
more to systematic personal work on the
part of their subordinates.
There is a noticeable absence of betting
on the result in the cities. Four wears
ago the metropolitan papers had every
day long list of bets, some for large
sums, on the result. This year there is
nothing of the kind.

SOME LEGISLATIVE MISCONCEPTIONS

There have prevailed among the MEM
bers of the legislature at Montpelier in
former years ideas of duty that did not
exactly square with those entertained by
common people living outside the splen-
dors of the capital
One of these was, that it is absolutely
essential to elect member of one house
or the other to any office which may be-
come vacant or which may be created.
That is not true as a general proposition
There are few good men in the State
who either couldn't or wouldn't be elect
ed, and they ought not to be overlooked
entirely because of their inability or un-
Willingness to help make the laws.
The other notion peculiar to prior leg
islatures Is, that the highest qualifications
of a candidate for any office consist in
his total ignorance of the subjects with
which he is to deal as such official and
IN the fact that he is frank failure in
the calling to which he has been edu-
Gated. a sense of the fitness of things
has governed legislative action in filling
offices similar to that which possessed a
farmer over the mountain and led him to
call the male head of his herd Jane, be-
cause he bought him of a maiden lady in
the neighborhood who bore that name.
There is likely to be Il change this year
in the office of State superintendent of
schools. The natural and sensible thing
to do, in the view of ordinary mortals
not legislators, would he to give the Of
flee to the best qualified practical ed
ucator in the State that could be induced
to take it. But the legislature will not
in all probability so violate the traditions
as to thus act, but it will seek out, pref
erably among its own members, some
briefless barrister or churchless clergy
man or other useless person, whose con-
ceptions of the science of education are
about as lucid as those of a Sioux Indian
respecting the theory of future probation,
and elevate him to the place he cannot
by any possibility fill
However, it is barely within the range
of things imaginable that the present leg
islature has learned better by the exam
pies set by its predecessors, and that it
will not initiate their mistakes. Let us
all hope that that may be the case.

THAT BALLOT Law.

of being scattered through half a

learned from the days Of slavery. The
entertainment last night was exception

1t is han! to particularize when all do so
well, but when it is known that the two
difleren. parts of Legree and Uucle Tom
were played by young men and with the
merit of last evening it is but right to
say that Messrs. Goodman and Applebee
are shining lights in their profession.
Little Eva was well played, as was in fact
the entire performance. The specialties
were one of the pleasing features. Hank
Goodman has many admirers in Bis
