NEWS AND NOTES.

Gov. Fuller has decided upon Novem.
ber 90th as Thanksgiving day.
The Rutland Herald has Just dis
covered that the water of the Marble
City is drinkable. Reform is better late
than ever.-Free Press.
j. A. Ranney, the famous catcher for

ated as an NJ. d. from Dartmouth medi-

Senator Stewart said truly in the Re-
corder yesterday, that the whole world
is now placed practically on the gold
basis. Four thousand millions of silver
money, formerly as good as gold as stan
dard money of final redemption and pay
ment is to be destroyed. Four thousand
millions of paper money, plus the four
thousand millions of degraded silver,
will now have nothing but gold for its
basis. Evidently the vast volume of
this silver and paper currency must be
reduced. Mr.. Stewart estimates that the
shrinkage must be about one-half.
Either economic laws are a myth, or
that shrinkage will send down all values
and prices, and result ruinoHsly for all
classes except the small class that lives
by lending money and collecting usury.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY 5!
Maynard Defeated by
$4,000 !!
McKinIey's Plurality Will Be
10000
Massachusetts has a Margin Of
$4,000.

Thirteen States had elections Tuesday,
and the result is admitted by Democratic
authority to have been ian unprece-
dented Republican victory" The more
there is heard from the elections, the
more sweeping the victory appears. A
New York despatch summarizes as fol-
lows:
New York defeats Maynard by plu-
rality of about 81, 900, while hel legisla-
ture is surely Republican. Massachu-
setts. complete. elects Greenhalge, Re-
publican, by plurality of SO, ,105. Ohio
indorses protection with plurality of
$4,000 for Mckinley and legislature
more stongly Republican than ever be-
fore in the history of the party. New
Jersey rebukes the ring with an assem-
bly, nearly two-thirds Republican and
Democratic loses in all sections. Iowa
joins the victorious procession with
veritable Republican landslide. Kan
sas defeats the Populists and gives 80
counties to the Republicans. South Da-
kota, Virginia and Missouri show POpu.
list and Democratic loses. Maryland
shows handsome gains for the Rcpub-
icans in her legislature. Cook county,
H., elects every Republican candidate
but one.
Pennsylvania goes republican by plu-
rality of 1877, 70S the largest plurality
since Grant defeated Greeley in 1872.
In New York, the Legislature will
stand as follows: Senate-Republicans,
Is; Democrats, 13; Independent Demo,
crat, l. neutrality-suspicious., IS;
Democrats, SO.
In Brooklyn, Schieren, Republican,
was elected mayor over Boody, Demo
crat, by plurality that will exceed 25,-
600. The board of Aldermen is Repub-
licau by IL to s. The Republicans swept
Kings county, electing their county
ticket by plurality of about $500.
In Ohio, the fight was direct issue
between protection and free trade, and
the result shows that her people believe
i'll the American doctrine as championed
by the Republican party. Gen. McKln-
A;y's Opponent was the author of the
Democratic free trade platform OF the
Chicago Convention last year.
In Chicago, general interest centered
in the single issue concerning Judge
Gary, about whom there revolved Anar-
chist and anti-Anarchist factions, he
having been the trial judge in the fa-
nous Anarchist cases.
Gary and the balance of the Republi-
can ticket IN Cook county are elected.
Judge Gary's majority in the city and
county will reach 5000.
There will be gain of two or three Re-
publican United States senators by rea-
son of the election, and SO there is some
direct gain to the party Nationally.
The gerrymander in the Empire State,
which such papers as the Troy Press OPP
posed, will be corrected.
In the Bay State, as well as in Others,
the significant feature of the returns is
that the Republican gains are greatest
in the manufacturing centres. AS some
one has said: "You may fool part of
the people, but you cannot fool all the
people all the time"
Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky are
Democratic of course.

POST ELECTION COMMENTS,

Ex President Harrison, among other
things, said: while the Mckinley law
has not been changed, the threat of
change had the same effect as if it had.
Hence the reaction seen in yesterdays s
elections. There can be no doubt about
it being due to general causes, felt all
over the country, and not to local causes
All that was needed to produce the re-
action from the election of last year was
to set the conditions of the two systems
in sharp contrast, and the lesson for pro-
lection would not be fore in an
other quarter of century,"
Speaker Crisp was seen in Nashville,
Wednesday, and when asked as to his
views of the results of Tuesdays cleo
tions, he said: 81 do not attach any pc
culiar significance to them. Local
causes affected the results in all the
States. do not regard Democratic de-
feat in any of these States as an express
sion of want of confidence in the Demo-
cratic party. If the party redeems Its
pledges, and believe it will, l have no
donbt the country will remain Demo-
cratic. We expect to make the Congress
which convenes on the fourth of next
month, business Congress which will
redeem the pledges of the Democratic
platform. We expect to pass tariff bill
which has been prepared on the lines of
the Democratic platform, and which is
for revenue only. This will cheaper the
price of goods. The bill viii also en-
large the free list. We hope to repeal
the State bank tax. Opposition to it
has developed among the Republicans,
and there may be few Democrats who
will oppose it, but hope Mr.. Cleveland
will urge it in his message and that it
may be repealed without unnecessary
delay"
The hero of the unprecedented major
ity in Ohio, rites the New York Press:
at is believed that my plurality for
Governor will be nearly 10000. Only
FIVE Democratic State Senators are re-
ported TO have been elected out of thir-
ty-one. The Republicans will have a
majority of nearly eighty on joint ballot
the greatest victory for protection and
sound currency in Ohio since the birth
of the Republican party, WILLIAM Nc
KINLEY, JR."
The Democratic New York Sun says:
"The fate of unconstitutional protection
is not yet settled. The battle against q
robber tariff is not yet won. There is
mighty hard fighting ahead before the
Democracy can complete the work of
reform which it has undertaken aud re-
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1893-11-10

deem the irrevocable pledge it has made.
The reverse on Tuesday will prove set
back to the speedy enactment of con-
stitutional tariff for revenue only, for
its effect will be'felt in Congress. There
are Uimp-servers and opportunists and
candidates for reelection next year, who
will weaken in their zeal for an immedi-
ate attack on protection all along the
line 1t will require all of the firmncss
of Grover Cleveland to hold the Demo-
cratic majorities in the House aud the
Serate to the course which he has
marked out for them. Is the duty of
the Democracy therefore altered? Not
in the slightest particular. For a party
wlfi';h has taken a decided stand in a
matter of fundamental principle, it is
better to be submerged temporarily un-
der votes than to be buried forever be-
meath universal and deserved con-
tempt"

Dr. FL. Fl. Mcintyre, general agent of
the Vermont Worlds Fair commission,
has sold the Vermont building at the
Fair, to Chicago plumber for $780, Be-
cause of the peculiar material with
which the outside walls were covered
the building was of little value to any
one, and for some time it looked as
though the commission would be
obliged to pay some one to take it away.
A Chicago plumber, finally, bought it
for 500, to be used as a storehouse.
The furniture will be shipped to Yer.
mont and sold. The samples of granite
and marble will go to the State museum
at Montpelier. The maple sugar exhib-
it was all sold on the grounds.

DR.. Hoskins replies to a common
plant in the Montpelier Watchman, as
follows: "What sense is there in man
who bought his farm in war times, when
our paper money was not worth more
than forty cents to the dollar, saying
that it cost him twice as much as he
could sell it for nOwP Either that man
cannot cipher, or he knows that if he
can get half as many of our present dol
lars for that farm, he is realizing a pretty
good profit on his Observation-Disclosures it
is in much better condition than he
bought-which is not often the case"

If we had room we'd like to tell
OF all the goods we have to sell;
OF overcoats and suits so fine
That can't be matched in any line,
Displayed beneath the stripes and stars
In Jupiter or even Mars.
And UNDERCLoTHING Good and warm
That will protect from every storm,
And such stock of gloves and hose.
Our caps keep warm both ears and nose
Still to our store our patrons flock
To buy their hats from new fall stock.

No debts to worry, all can see,
That when they're free from debts and

They can be happy anywhere.

TROY, M. Y.

the same performance was repeated with
the passing of the water. Every one
partook; even the youngest babies had
their share, but all was done in the most
perfunctory way, it was disgusting; such
tlravesty on religion. Every word
spoken in that great space was plainly,
audible, and the speakers did not strain,
their throats either. The voices of those
who spoke from above the floor level,
came distinctly to us, while those who.
spoke from the floor, in blessing the ele-
ments, moved their lips, but the sound
came from the door at the side of the
building, more than hundred feet from
where the speaker stood: the effect was
that of listening to ventriloquist, and
was very odd. The grand organ, built of
dark wood, and with gilded pipes, stood
ont from the dead white of the ugly inte-
rlor;a great instrument in every way. At
the end of the services the great choir and
organ Joined in the anthem, uphold We

and are led or driven like cattle by the
crafty leaders. A. G. SHERRY.

We've watched the markets light and
shade,
And in all lines have bargains made.
In Fall and Winter Goods we know
That none so good line can show,
That they at our low prices can sell,
That fit so nice and wear so well.
That's why they rush to Coles New
STORE
In greater crowds than e'er before.
They find the goods so strong and nice
They never murmur at the price,
And when they look our bargains DER
Hard times will trouble them no more.
1t takes so little there to buy
Their winter goods, that if they try.
They'll never be oppressed with doubt,
The price will put such thoughts to rOut.
