Local Vermonters Give Him RouS-
ing Reception and Will Show
Him the State.

81 visited your State twenty-five years
ago and l need hardly say the changes
have been very great" said Governor
Levi 81. Fuller of Vermont. as he sat In
his apartments at the Palace Hotel last
night. a most pleasant-faced, handsome
and stately gentleman is the executive OF
the Green Mountain State. The years
which have whitened his hair and heavy
mustache and imperial to silver, have,
however. left no lines on a face, chiseled
as finely as ever Grecan sculptor modelled
his marble.
His presence here is to grace the cele-
bration of Vermont day at the fair. and he
comes to it with the same enthusiasm as he
manifested when, on the goth of October
last, he presided at the dedication of the
Vermont building at the Chicago Expo
sition.
There are many Vermonters here
find," went on the Governor. "a constant
stream has passed through my rooms to-
day, and l can hardly say how glad l am
TO meet them.
What change do / most note in the ap-
pearance of things? Well. quarter of a
century is long time. The buildings
show the most change in the brief glimpse
l have had of the city. l remember when
l was here before the Occidental Hotel
was the Hottest building you had. The
Grand was here, but the Palace was not
yet Now see you are running up build
ings as tall as those in Chicago or New
York.
But / suppose you want to talk about
politics. Well. to tell you the truth. there
is decided drift toward Republicans m
all through the East. This is evidence
by the elections In the Fourteent New
York District. Last time the Democrats
carried it by 30. 600 majority. b ut this time
a Republican has been elected by 1000
majority. This s convincing proof of the
trend of public feeling. In my own State
the election takes place next Septem Der.
l have no hesitancy in saying that Re-
publican will be elected"
"What is the cause of this change in
public opiniOn?"
''rhe policy Of the present sdministra-
toni may say the general policy, as
shown by particular acts, such as the
Hawaiian matter, the m onetary legislation
and the Wilson bill. Cieveland's policy in
the Hawaiian matter is generally con-
demned In the East. even by his own
party. Minister Stevens is upheld in his
action. and it is the belief that what he
did was done for the best and should not
have been reversed. AS to the Wilson
| bill. l can say the trainers of it do not
know the first thing of what they ara do.
| ing. The bill itself is not sustained by
any law of logic. 1t is calamity bill and
will be runous in its effects on the indus
| tries of the country. 1t is measure that
will inevitably bring disaster to the Demo
! cratic party"
Your State. Governor. is very much in.
terested in the Supreme Justiceship.
How do you view the appointment of
Judge WhTte?"
MY State is part of the circuit. and we
are particularly interested in the matter.
| Cleveland's action is viewed with dsfavor.
! Vast interests are COMPRISED in that cir
cult, which have always been represented
! in the Supreme Court. man from that
district should have been appointed, one
who is in touch with the great interests
which are TO be found for 500miles around
New York. Judge White is an able man
and genial gentleman. but he comes from
Louisiana and knows nothing of our in
