speech, in the course OF which he said: As
your worthy presiding officer, Mr. Suther-
land, has well said, this is a task of great
magnitude, battle amounting to little less
than hand to hand struggle with forces
fully organized to grasp the powers of gov
eminent from the republican party. We
have passed in the history Of the world be-
yond the time when men have overthrown
governments for the sake of power. but the
distance between the time of that passage
and the present is not very great. The fact
that the struggle does not involve life and
death is only mitigation of the severity of
the contest upon which we are about to
enter. From these suggestions it may be
inferred that ] appreciate in some degree at
least the nature of the responsibility at
hand and the character of the effort neces-
sary to be put forth. / would shrink from
the task as hopeless struggle, were it not

league of clubs and other aggressive forces,

and district organizations with the people

petuating in their purity the principles of

the most suitable persons to fill the several
public offices for which they may vote. We
ought not to believe that it was intended
that voting for those officers should always
continue in the same particular manner or
that the votes should be OF the same materi-
ais, or in the same way which was then in
use, without any regard to the changes that
might take place, or the improvements that
might be made. / apprehend
that all which was intended in this article
was to secure to the freemen the privilege
of voting for the several state officers therein
named by ballot, as that term is usually and
generally understood in this country and
that while this privilege is secured, the form
of the vote or ballot, or the manner in which
the name of the person intended for the
office is impressed thereon, is wholly imma-
terial, if it is fairly and inteligiby ex-
pressed, and the manner does not expose
the person voting to any improper influence,
or those who are to receive and count the
votes to any unnecessary trouble or incon-
venience."
The new mode of balloting, COM
monty called the Australian system,
would not seem to 90 beyond the
changes which Judge Williams thinks
the constitution is elastic enough to in
clude, although it is one of those {" i'm
provements that we think jury of
those who have the duty of counting
votes under it would say is source of
inconvenience and trouble. This will
be largely removed, however, when the
voters get accustomed to the new
method.
In reading the opinion of Judge Will
liams the Australian, or kangaroo"
system does not appear to be such a
modern invention as some think it, and
il is there shown that they had official
ballots in Rome in ages gone. The
following extract from Judge Williams
opinion will show good deal of like
ness in the modern Yankee and old
Roman style of voting:
"In this country, and indeed in every
country where offices are elective different
n1Ouco nave Dcch duOplSu lOI tleCJOTS 10
signify their choice. The most common
modes have been either by voting viva
voce-that is, by the elector openly naming
the person he designates for the office or
by ballot, which is deposting in a box pro-
vided for that purpose paper on which is
the name of the person he intends for the
office. The principal object of this last
mode is to enable the elector to express his
opinion secretly, without being subject to
be overawed or to any ill-will or persecu-
ton on account of his vote for either of the
candidates who may be before the public.
The method of voting by tablets, in Rome,
was an example of this manner of voting.
There certain officers appointed for that pur-
pose, called diribitores, delivered to every
voter as many tablets as there were candi-
dates one of whose names was written
upon every tablet. The voter put into a
chest prepared for that purpose which of
these tablets he pleased, and they were
afterwards taken out and counted. Cicero
defines tablets to be little bHletS, in which
the people brought their suffrages.'

The State Campaign.

The ground has been cleared, the
plans matured, the last of the county
conventions held, the preliminaries
ended, and the republicans of Vermont
will now enter with zeal upon the work
of the campaign. Twelve years ago
the canvass in central Vermont began
in June by an address by Roswell G..
Horn at Montpelier. The keynote was
pitched high and to lively measures,
Horr's voice never strikes low, minor
strain. From that date on, literally to
the last hour before the dawn of cleo
ton day, the music of that campaign
waxed in volume and spirit. The

The New Ballot Law.

That profound lawyer and good
judge, Hon. H. H. Wheeler, has an ar
ticle over his signature in the last issue
of the Vermont PhUnir, in which he
discusses the ballot act passed at the
session of the legislature held in 1890.
He comes to the conclusion that the
act does not apply to the election OF
town representatives, justices of the
peace, and probate judges where the
probate district does not embrace an
entire county. His letter is a clear ex-
position of the defects of the law as it
was originally passed, which defects
had come to the attention of the mem
bers of the legislature before the extra
session held in August, 1891. To cor
rect these defects amendments were
made by No. of the Acts of the spe-
cial session held in August, 1891, and
these amendments do not seem to have
been in Judge Wheeler's mind when he
wrote the letter which appears in the
Ph9nir. Should nominations fail to be
made in accordance with the law, Judge
Wheeler's letter probably points out a
way in which the freemen of any town
may avail themselves of their constitu-
tional right of voting. 1t is more than
probable, however, that in all the towns
of the state the law will be so far car.
ried out that legal official ballots will be
provided with the fac simile indorse-
ment of the proper clerk, so that nc
freeman will be obliged to use anything
other than an official ballot to give ex-
preston to his lawful wishes.
Were any constitutional question to
be raised against the new ballot act
it would apply, as the act stands
under the amendments, with much
more force to state officers than to town
representatives, as chosen by ballot -
is the only description of the mode of
voting for representatives prescribed
by the constitution, while as to the
governor (and now as to Lieutenant
governor, secretary of state, auditor and
treasureT the constitution prescribes
that the freemen shall bring in theil
votes for governor, with his name
fairly written, to the constable, who
SHALL" etc. But we think that the new
ballot act is in no conflict with fail
Interpretation of this provision, which
has already received Judicial con
struction that includes printed ballots

V. Mead, 4 Vt. $50, in which Judg,
Williams delivered the opinion, wherein
among other things, he says;
"In constituting the clause of the constitu
ton now under consideration, we ought no
so to consider it as to lay the freemen unde
any unnecessary restraint or embarrass
ment in the expression of their opinion as t.

footprints ofthe speakers were left on
every stump in Washington county and
contiguous territory. The torches we're
lighted and marching columns of ardent
republicans made and returned visits
of cheer and emulation to all their
sister communities. 1t was an inspir-
ing canvass, and the result was an in
spiration to the republicans of the
nation.
Since 1880 the tendency has been to
a shorter campaign, as the issues have
become better understood. In 1883
the great mass meeting at Burlington,
July 26, marked the beginning of active
operations. From that day to the fn-
ish canvass of intense vigor was main
tanned. 1t was " short, sharp and de-
cisive " beyond any meaning ever be-
fore associated in Vermont politics
with this aggressive phrase.
In 1892 the same leading issues as in
1888, with the same leading candidates,
reappear. During the four years that
have passed, active political discussion,
along the old familiar lines, has con-
tinued. In the rays of g. that fierce light
that beats upon the THRONE" the worth
and character of Harrison, the su-
preme representative of republicanism,
have been tried and proved. The blaze
had revealed so much of faithfulness,
so great an increment of strength and
prestige, that he was again chosen to
stand as the leading exponent of those
great principles for which the republic
cans are contending. No new contest
is to be waged; republicans follow no
new or untried leaders. So the contest
in Vermont will naturally begin later
and the canvass may lack some of the
elements that have given heat and
brilliancy to former campaigns. When
once begun, however, the fight will be
waged with zeal and vigor, and the
work of months will be condensed into
a canvass shorter, sharper and more de-
cisive than any preceding. Harri-
son and Reid will still command all
the old-time enthusiasm of Vermont
republicans.
Fuller and Stranahan are the names
around which, in September, will be
arrayed all the loyalty Vermonters feel
for America, for American institutions,
and American industry. Both are typ
ical Americans. Both began at the
bottom of Fortunes ladder and have
reached by honest climbing the posi-
tions to which they have attained. Both
appeal with peculiar force to the support
of Vermouters.
Now let the work of the canvass be-
gin with zeal, and let it be prosecuted
with system. The campaign managers
know their duties. They will do their
duty and they will need-and will have
the ready and enthusiastic co-opera-
ton of all republicans.

Cleveland and Stevenson Notified.

The democratic candidates for the presi-
dency and Vice-presidency were notified OF
their nomination at the Madison Square
Garden, New York, last week "Wednesday
evening. 1t was monster meeting about
ZOO people being present. The balconies
of the hall were decorated with numerous
coats-of-arns and flags, and on the sound
ing-board at the back of the platform were
the illuminated names of Cleveland and
Stevenson arranged in triangular shape.
When the names We're lighted up there was
cheering, and when Mrs. Cleveland ap-
peared in box there was still more APP
plause The two candidates were warmly
greeted as they came upon the platform.
They were accompanied by Governor
Flower and Congressman W. l. Wilson of
West Virginia. The latter addressed Mr..
Cleveland, notifying him of his nomination.
Then Secretary Nicholas Bell of the notif-
cation committee read the official letter of
notification. When Mr.. Cleveland rose to
respond the applause was immense. The
crowd pushed into the press enclosure so
strongly that one newspaper man was
squeezed against the table until he tainted
lice afterwards got the crowd back. Mr.
Cleveland spoke in loud, clear voice, and
was heard in every part of the hall. When
he had finished, amid great applause, eN-
Acknowledgements Stephen M. White of
California made a speech notifying Mr..
Stevenson of his nomination to the vice
presidency. Mr., White spoke in "A loud
voice, and Mr., Stevenson stood during the
speech as did Mr.. Cleveland during Mr.
Wilson's speech. Secretary Bell read a
letter of notification TO the candidate. The
latter replied in a speech which was some
what briefer than Mr.. Clevelands. Both
before the meeting and while it was in prog
ress there was brilliant pyrotechnic din
play which was witnessed by thousands "
people. After the meeting Messrs. Cleve.

The Brattleboro Rgormer quotes a
republican of that town as saying: ave
don't care blank for these parades
of figures about the votes in congress.
We know that with Cleveland in the
White House no free silver bill is going
to get by there. We believe that Harrison
is just as sound, though we admit that
we are not half so sure of it, and when
we try to find something to hang our
faith on, like Cleveland's repeated out
spoken declarations over his own sig
nature, we cannot do it," This is
undoubtedly one of those delightful
fictions which the RJ0rmer produces
to enforce its morals or adorn its tales :;
but assuming that our contemporary is,
for once" citing bona .ttde instance,
the man who can talk that sort of thing
is not only pretty poor kind of re-
publican, but is obtuse in catching on.
President Harrison's remark during his
northern trip, year ago, to the effect
that every dollar issued by the govern
ment should be as good as the others,
is as safe and sensible a monetary
platform as any man need stand on.
And the people know that he is going
to stand by sound principles of finance.
To him is due the international con-
ference on bimetalism which is soon to
meet in Berlin. The object of that
conference is nothing else than to Sc
cure the agreement of European pow
ers to method of using silver which
shall be entirely consistent with sound
financial principles and adapted to
commercial needs. That's just what
President Harrison has done on this
silver issue. His position is under
stood, and it is a strong one. But
these parades of figures about the
votes in congress - The Brattleboro
republican doesn't care blank for
them, does he? Well, Mr.. Cleveland
will, if he doesn't. If free-coinage
bill should 90 to Mr.. Cleveland as
president, endorsed by the overwhelm-
ing vote of the democrats of both
houses, we doubt very much whether
he would refuse to sign it, even if his
convictions were strongly against it,.
But the eX-president is fighting shy of
the silver issue. In his speech at New
York, last week, not word was said
on the sutherland the developments
of the campaign will show that he has
wabbled" on this question, as he has
on the tariff and other matters of lead
ing importance.

THE president sent in his first veto
message of the session, last week, Veto
ing the bill to amend the law creating
the United States court of appeals,
chiefly because this law provided that
there should be no appeal in Indian
depreciation cases.

that protection has not been able to
quite double the wages of steel and iron
workers. The Reformer acknowledges
that the American laborer does more
than the British laborer does. 1t is
probably 80, and the reason is that his
standard of living is higher than that of
his British fellow-workman 1t is one
of the purposes of protection to keep
that standard up as high as possible
and give the workingmen of this coun-
try better chance in life than the
workers of free trade Great Britain
have.
The Boston correspondent of the
Springfield Republican thus delivers
himself The tariff is directly re-
sponsible for the two-fold insolence of
the iron masters and the iron workers,
who between them have brought MUIR
der and shame upon the people of
Pennsylvania by deeds hitherto I'M
known in American annals. Like the
preceding monopoly of the Southern
shareholders, this tariff monopoly now
shows its true character by its brutal
izing effects" Now, this correspon-
dent is evidently not person whose
speech is governed by reason; hence
to reason on such bosh as this would
be useless. Yet who does not know
that the industrial history of England
has been filed with acts of violence on
the part of striking workmen? That
English labor conflicts have not de-
veloped very often into such serious
riots as occurred at Homestead and in
Idaho has been due chiefly to the pres
ence of governmental authority fully
prepared to defend life and property.
But how will it be in the future in
England? Who can say that when
British markets have been curtailed by
the protective and reciprocal policies of
other peoples, and trade languishes,
men are out of work and wages are re-
duced through sharper personal compe-
tition, there will not be sad scenes of
disorder in England, too? BY the way,
our excited friend of the Republican
errs in attribuLing this trouble in Home
stead to monopoly" 1t came for the
very reason that there was no monop-
oily. The competition with Southern
companies, who paw low wages. was
the whole difficulty. Mr.. Frick says
his company supplies only about eleven
per cent of the steel billets made in the
United States.

EDWARD ATKINSON, extreme free
trader as he is, admits that wages in

abroad. Such being the case, does he

THE democratic party has gone so
far in the direction of re-establishing
state banks that a Southern senator
last week moved to repeal the law by
which such banks are taxed ten per
cent. There is no doubt about the
fact that the supporters of state banks
mean business. If the democratic
party should win, next fall, the repeal
of this ten per cent tax may be con-
fidently relied upon.

HENRY WATTERsON is all wrong on
the tariff issue, but he knows a good
dollar when he sees it. He says that if
anything has come out of the civil war
that benefits everybody it is good cur
rency, and he thinks the democratic
party made great mistake in putting a
state bank plank into its platform. Yes;
and other democrats besides Henry
will find that out in the course of the
next few months.
