CURRENT COMMENT,

Our Vermont house of representatives
is capable of a good many asinne per-
formances. but never did it commit one
more asinine than when it passed the
Dill giving women the right of suffrage
IN municipal elections. There Is no sub
stantial argument in favor of the bill and
there are powerful and convincing argu-
ments against it. Not the least of these
is the fact that the women don't want
the right of municipal suffrage. This is
not matter of argument, but matter of
fact; and the fact is amply proved by the
law allowing women to vote i'm school
meetings.-lSt. Johnsbury Republican.
What will happen? Why, in action
the Democratic government will straight
way get upon the Republican platforn/
1t must either do that or sink, and Will
be too wise to commit suicide. The
consequences to it of departing from the
Republican course in regard to a pro-
tective tariff and honest money are plain
to all men. sit is condition and not
theory" which Mr.. Cleveland will CON
front. He and all the other leaders NAV
be trusted to recognize that fact and to
act accordingly. They may talk free
trade and pewter money, but they dare
not give either to the country Rutland
Herald.
The 23d president Of he United States
will go out of office on the 4th of next
March, having earned the respect and
sincere esteem of his fellow countrymen,
Democrats as well as Republicans.
While the political fates have decreed that
Benjamin Harrison shall figure in his
tory as one-term president, that one
term will stand without the disfigure-
ment of any serious scandal, and marked
with many creditable deeds and import
ant public services. 1t is a pleasant
thing to remember that in the canvass
just ended few words have been said or
written concerning Gen. Harrison which
represent him as anything but what
he is, namely, man of superior in
tellect and elevated character and
chief magistrate whom the country
can always regard with admiration.

1t looks as if au official count would be
necessary to determine whether Ohio has
gone for Harrison or Cleveland. The
Republicans claim plurality for them
selves of ll6 and the Democrats claim a
plurality of 800.
New Hampshire probably elected a
Republican governor. Massachusetts
elected the entire State ticket, with the
possible exception of governor, the choice
to which office is still in doubt. OF its
l3 congressman, 0 are Republicans,
Democrats and one is still doubtful The
State chose Harrison and Reid electors.
Wisconsin is conceded to the Demo-
Gratis by the Republicans.
All sorts of theories for the Republic
can defeat are given out President
Harrison refuses to talk on the subject.
Secretary of State Foster attributes the
Democratic victory to the tariff issue,
says a Washington dispatch. The party,
he says, challenged the judgment of the
country on the Mckinley bill and the
verdict must be accepted as the will of
the people that different policy shall
be adopted. Other questions entered
somewhat into the contest, but not to
such an extent as to materially affect the
result. Nor would it have been different
if other candidates had been selected or
other leaders managed the campaign.
No administration ever went before the
country with cleaner record. 1t is the
policy, not the personnel of the admins
tration, that has been condemned. In
this view of the matter the secretary said
that Mr.. Cleveland was likely to be sus-
tanned by party majority in both bran
ches of Congress so that the new policy
may haYe full and fair trial.

Fson, whose conceptions of the science

re will make no mistake. What saw

Dur notion of Rev. Mr.. Booth is that

the best, he appears to be the least of
brethren who want the place.

The legislature has caused no end of
|otheration to hank people, and, so far
Is can be seen. has benefited no one, by
epealing the law allowing days of grace
b commercial paper. 1t has simply put
he State back where it was 20 years
go, when it was the only one in this
ection of the country that did not allow
lays of grace. The confusion which
rev out of the anomaly led to the on
|etment Of the law which is now re-
|ealed. Whether there are or are not
lays of grace is of no earthly conse-
|uence to any human being. The bor-
bwer where there are days of grace

CLEVELAND AND STEVENSON ELECTED.
THE DEMOCRATS THE WINNERS IN THE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Cleveland and Stevenson, the Demo
cratic nominees for president and vice
president, were the successful candidates
in the national election of Tuesday.
They carried New York, New Jersey, In
diana, Connecticut and Illinois, besides the
solid South. At this writing 250 electoral
votes for the Democratic ticket are con-
ceded. Both parties claim West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin. The Democrats
will have majority in the national
house of representatives, and the New
York Tribune thinks they may have a
majority in the senate as we'll.
Cleveland's plurality in New York is
about 1000, in Connecticut about 5000,
in New Jersey about $4,000 and in ILL
nois about 10000.
The following table shows all the es-
sential points of the situation as far as
revealed by the returns received to date {;

THE ACCIDENT CALENDAR.

Mr.. Edward Thomas, a workman en-
ployed on the Methodist church, on Sat
urday fell from the roof to the ground,
a distance of IS feet. The only serious
injury he sustained was the bruising of
an arm by projecting board upon
which it struck as he went down.
Mr. George Langworthy had one of
his legs broken on Tuesday afternoon
while working in the Battell block. He
and others were on staging, which gave
way, letting them down to the floor. The
others escaped serious harm but plank
struck Mr.. Langworthy's leg, with the
result stated.
John Fredette, who lives in a tenement
house near Mr.. j. E. Dewey's, was found
lying in the roadway at the junction of
High and Seminary streets on Saturday
evening, unconscious and covered with
blood. Mcssrs. j. o. Benedict and Henry
Flint, who discovered him, put him into
Bond Bros delivery wagon and took him
to DR.. Martins office. His face and head
were quite badly cut and one ear had
been torn almost off. The indications
were that his wagon would not hold him
and the jag he had on and that he fell off
upon the ground with considerable vio-
lence.

y AS is always the case, the presidential
election excited little interest in Vermont,
the people letting off whatever political
steam they may contain at the September
election. However, this year they seem
to have done better in November than in
September.
In Middlebury there was no excitement
and the vote was comparatively small.
The check list, as compiled by the board
of civil authority, bore almost 900 names.
Less than 600 persons voted. The votes
for the several Republican electors were
Baldwin, 1873; Carney, 43l; Wilds. 1873 :;
Parks, 1870. The Democratic electors re-
ceived these votes: Humphrey, 100; Ju-
bell, 9S; Farrell, 90; Dearborn, 90. The
vote for the Prohibition electors was
Hanson, 30; Seely, 20; McNiel, 20; Wis
well, rs.
Constable Munroe called the voters to
order at 10 o'clock and declared the polls
open. Hon. George Hammond and Mr..
f. p. Cushman were the Republican cleo
ton clerks, and Messrs. G.. ID. Miner and
}. A. Douglass were the Democratic.
The voting was not at any time spirited,
but it went on steadily all day. The polls
closed at . o'clock, and the counting,
