Senator-Elect Stephen B. Elkins of
West Virginia, gives his views on the
next national campaign, in an interview,
Wednesday, as follows:
''Now, regarding Mr.. Harrison, | do
rot think he is giving the nomination
question single thought. He is going
quietly ahead, and not bOthering his head
bit about the matter. If he is called |
do not doubt, if he sees clearly that he
is wanted, that he would accept, but the
call would have to be pretty loud, and
the arguments convincing.
"My idea for the next National cam
paign is to secure thoroughly national
and strong organization of the ReDubli-
can party. In the past it has been the
North against the Solid South | want
to see the Republican party securely in
trenched in every State in the Union. TO
that end it is my idea that man should
be nominated to head the ticket in the
next campaign who is satisfactory to the
Northern States. Then place man on
the ticket for the Office of Vice President
who is a Southern man. The South de-
serves some recognition. The Republi-
cans down there are making a gallant
fight. If that work was hOnOred by the
concession of placing Southern man on
the National ticket for Vice President |
believe we could carry four or five South
ern States.
THE Solid South is going to be a
thing of the past very shortly. West
Virginia broke through the barriers last
year, and with one bound planted her
ColOrs for Republicanism with the ma
jority of 1900 That was an achieve
ment. West Virginia has blazed the
path, and other States will follow. |
want to see Judge Golf, of West Virginia
the candidate for Vice President on the
next National Republican ticket. He is
a Southern man, and IS attracting a great
deal of attention by his wise rulings. He
is my preference, and intend to work
for him. There are other good men in
the South, and good timber can be found
there, aud | think that a Southern man
would do more to break up the sectional
ism and to make the party National than
anything we could do"

The Burlington News and the Mont
peler Watchman are calling for a revis-
ion of the State Constitution. Among
other reforms they ask for is a decrease
in the present bulky size of the repre-
sentative branch of our legislature, and
representation by districts rather than
by towns. They fail to see the justice
of giving towns with a fifteenth or
twentieth of the population of Burling.
ton, Montpelier or Bennington an equal
voice and vote with these towns in the
Vermont House. We might add an il
lustration from down this way, to the
many already given, of the inequality of
representation by comparing Benning
ton and Glastonbury. These two towns
have one representative each, the seven
or eight voters of the latter having a
representation in the House equal to the
more than 1900 voters of Bennington.
Each voter in Glastonbury receives
about $50 times the representation that
a Bennington voter receives.

The Rutland Herald has a $4,000
libel suit on its hands, brought by John
B. Moore, grand juror of Rutland.
Moore has for a long time been the spec
ial object of the Herald's attention, He
is accused of being in league with the
liquor sellers of that place, and of using
his public office for the furtherance of
his private financial interests. His ac-
ton against the Herald is recited in four
counts, being based on an article headed
"a Question of Responsibility" and
published several days in succession last
week, nearly at the top of the editorial
column. This article opened with the
pleasing assertion, John B. Moore is a
scoundrel."

The Hon. Seneca Haselton, ex-mayor
of Burlington and Minister to Venezuela,
has been requested to resign his office,
by the State Department, on charges pre-
ferred against him by Admiral Meade.
The resignation has not yet been forth
coming, but that or dismissal will prob
ably come in the near future. The
charges preferred by Admiral Meade are
said to be based on occurrences at the
time of the Admirals visit to Caracas a
few weeks ago. A reception was given
in the evening by Minister HasetOn, and
large number of people attended. Ac.
cording to the Admirars story, it be-
came evident before the evening was half
oyer that something was wrong with
Minister Haselton and that he had prob
ably consumed too much liquor Mr..
Haselton denies the charges and claims
that they are the result of petty spite,
arising from some misunderstanding
with the Admiral at the time of his visit.
The people of Burlington who have
honOred him with an election to the
State Legislature, and who have three
times elected him Mayor, believe that
the charges are false. They claim that
the previous high character of Mr.. Has
elton would not admit of the actions
with which he is charged.
Col. B. B. Smalley, who has been in
Washington, unsuccessfully interceding
for Mr.. Haselton, says:
II have known Haselton for 20 years,
and in all that time never knew that he
was drinking man. | do not say that
he does not drink, but it is curious that
l never heard of it before Admiral Meade
made this discovery. / have been with
him to political conventions, have at.
tended with him at political celebrations
when everybody else showed his patriot
ism by helping to increase the internal
revenue receipts, but never knew Has
elton to touch drop"
1t is believed by the friends of the
Minister that his severe illness, shortly
preceding Admiral Meade's visit, not
only disqualified him from the proper
performance of his duties, but affected
his mind to an extent that rendered him
irresponsible for his actions.
Mr.. Haselton has been refused copy
of the charges against him, and it seems
to be the policy of the Department to
send him home in disgrace without the
privilege of an opportunity of vindicat,
ing himself.
