Vermont Speaks.

At the state election in Vermont on
Tuesday, overwhelming republican
gains are shown. Grout. republican
candidate for governor, was elected by
majority which breaks all past records
according to the latest reports. His
majority in the state, it is believed. will
reach 10000, which shows a republican
gain over the vote of 1892 of more than
10000. The indications show that out
OF 244 members of the lower house of
the state legislature there will be only
IL democrats, and the senate will be
composed entirely of republicans.
The result Of the election in Vermont
may be accepted as a reliable straw,
showing quite conclusively the way the
political wind is blowing down east.

Rumors at political headquarters in
New York and Washington, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, is to the effect
that the silver mine owners, who are
mostly boiling republicans, are declin-
ing to respond to the frantic appeals of
the Bryan campaign committee for
funds. They are immensely disappoint-
ed in the effect Of Bryan's Eastern tour,
and have about reached the conclusion
that their money can be more effectively
used in making combinations in the
congressional districts and bold push
for two-thirds free silver majority in
the house. With such majority in the
house they believe that a two thirds
majority could also be commanded in
the senate. Some ofthen even profess to
believe that Major Mckinley is at heart
not unfriendly to free silver coinage,
and that he would not hesitate to sign
free coinage measure If it were passed
by decisive majority. Bryan they
haye no confidence in at all. He has
shown himself so shifty and eyasive, SO
self-contradictory, SO weak in the pre-
sentation Of the great issue on which
the mine owners haye staked their
whole political and business future, that
they already despair of his election.
They recognize the fact. also, that Nc
kinley is daily growing upon the peo-
pie. The admirable speeches which he
makes almost daily TO visitors are
models Of compact, clear and forcible |
statements, and they demonstrate his |
level-headedness in striking manner
There is no danger of Mckinley max
ing any "bad breaks" while Bryan is |
always saying something to weaken his
position and demoralize his supporters. |
1t seems impossible that q man SO given
to CAB and shallow rhetoric az Bryan |
will not say something to ruin his cause |
before the campaign is over. The only !
way to avoid the danger is for the com
mittee to muzzle him, and that would |
be confession of weakness. Bryan |
himself is apprehensive that the silver
party will abandon him and leave him |
nothing but the support of divided |
democracy and the rent and torn pop
ulistic organization-a combination de-
void of money, brains and leadership |
A special from New York says: "Close
friends of Senator John p. Jones have |
within the last "a hours confessed that |
in their opinion the jig was up with
Bryan, and in this they gave expression
to the views of the strong men in the |
background

1t was not until the other day that
Bryan admitted the fact that the mar
ket price of any given product was
governed by the law of supply and
demand. In his previous speeches he
has invariably attributed falling prices
to the decentralization Of silver, as
against the more reasonable theory that
the real cause of present low prices is
due to an over-production, which has
largely exceeded \ notable under-con-
sumption of commodities, resulting from
restricted opportunity to earn the mon
ey to buy with. In recent speech at
Mandalin. n. Y, he said: "You know
that if the worlds crop next year of q
certain article is very much greater than
the crop of this year, that article will
fall in price. If the crop is much smaller
than this year, that article will rise in
price. You know that the law of sup
ply and demand reaches and controls
all sorts Of property"

Tho Work Being Done by Gen. Hugh
!. -.-ys-L -Ls Farley, State Historian.
OF al the work that the State of
South Carolina is now engaged in for
tho sake Of posterity there is none of
such great Importance as the work that
Gen. Hugh u. Farley, the State his
torian. is now busily engaged in. And
there il nothing that the State can
support more freely and generously
than the work which will provide for
the iutnro population OF this State q
correct record of what their forefathers
did in the most famous war that the
world has ever known.
Gen. Farley's duties are to collect
all the data obtainable concerning the
part played by the troops from this
State In the late war and to secure
correct. aud complete rolls of every
command that went forth to fight the
battle for principle. A moments
thought will indicate to the mind of
every one what an enormous amount
OF w.rk this duty has entailed upon
the man charged with it. Fortunately,
however, General Farley, beinga SOL
der himself and very familiar with
the veterans of the State in all por-
tions, was we'll equipped to undertake
the work. He has had to travel all
over the State many times, but he
never wearies of the work, for it has O
special attractiveness for him. He has
just made a tour of eight counties in
the Piedmont section. He states that
large proportion of the rolls have
already been gotten up and fully re-
vised. Others are now in the hands
of various members of the several COM
mands, being revised in essential par
ticuiars
As to tho other historical data. Gen
eral Farley seems to have obtained a
wealth of it. He has succeeded in get
ting most of the surviving brigadiers
and other officers to write sketches Of
the part that their respective COM
mands played IN the grand struggle
made by the belovedSouthland. Among
these will be one from General Capers;
still another will be from the
pen ofGeneral MCGOWAN; then General
Bratton and General Hagood will do q
like service.
At the coming session of the legisla-
ture an appropriation sufficient for be.
ginning the work of printing these
records will be asked for. The desire
is general that tho legislature make an
appropriation that will do this work
handsomely. 1t is matter of State
pride now, and be matter of inesti-
mable value to future generations.
