20 Get the Convention TO RutIan
Misses Fire.
The Democratic State convention Mt Burlinl
ton yesterday had remarkably large attend
ance for the year and the times. There wer
, nearly 400 delegates out Of a possible 900, an
out OF u little over 800 elected There ha
never even In presidential years been large
attendance except two years ago when tn
great fight filed up. There never has beer
more enthusiasm, more thorough party loyal
was exhibited yesterday. The Vermont DE
mocracy Is true grit clear through.
The convention was called to order ut IL 3(
bv Chairman Il j BoyntOn of the state com
mittee who opened with an allusiOn to thu
form that was missing, the hearty greeting
and ringing words with which so many. con
ventions had been opened by the late Hiram
Atkins. But great AS he thought Mr. Atkins
services were and profoundly rs the party
appreciated them, the principles of Democra-
cy in Vermont or elsewhere were not depend
ent on any man. He alluded to the campaign OF
education so bravely begun by Grover Cleye
land which won the triumph of 1892, and the
panic of 1898 he declared to be the direct re-
suit of Republican tart fl and silver
legislation. The Republicans proposed
no remedy but the homeopathic one ''likt
cures like and they offer that in no small
doses. Their view is to go on increasing the
evil, aggravate the disease they would profess
to cure. The Republican party was pOliti'
cal bankrupt, SO adjudicated in 1890 and 1892
Grover Cleveland was appointed the assignee
and his account will be satisfactory when he
renders it to the great tribunal of the Ameri.
can people. The Democracy makes its appeal
confidently because it makes it to the intelli.
gence and conscience of the country.
Mr.. BoyntOn named rs the selection of the
Stafa committpe u r Earrpll Of NpwnOrt for
temporary chairman and p f. McManus OF
Rutland, C. d. Watson of st. Adams and
| Wells Valentine of Bennington as secretaries.
Mr.. Farrell on taking the chair greeted the
'unterrifed," especially so this year In this
time of business depression and suffering
when their opponents were gleeful in hope of
party advantage out of the misfOrtunes which
themselves had brought on the country, in a
worldwide force which has been aggravated
by unwise Republican legislation. Demo
Gratis looked back with pride on the achieve
ments of 1859 in naval rebuilding,
pension reform, honesty and frugality
In public affairs. Their argument today
was one of reason and candOr while the Re.
publicans was one of skulks and lodges. I'm
terrfied-why should not the Democracy be
when increase of intelligence surely means in
crease of Democratic votes! SO will surely
demonstrate the truth of LincOln's aphOrism
about fooling the people. The Democratic
In the repeal Of the Sherman law, and the fed
eral election law and in the reform OF the PEN
sion bureau and however slow and hating
the work may seem now it will do so with the
tariff. Mr.. Farrell made very neat and COM
pact argument here on the tar1n question ana
presented effectively and yet 1alrly the aDsur
dities of the high protection argument which
reduced ittef simply to this that bonus from
the public pocket should be given to en-
ployes in the hope that they will pay out
some of it in the way of higher wages. 1t is

of the rich and when dishonesty creeps into
