THE VERMONT ELECTION.

The largest majority ever given by
Vermont in a Presidential year since
the war, before this one was in 1879, when
Gen. Grant had, 80, b54. The returns are
not all in yet but the indications are
that the Republican majority of Monday
will surpass this by almost, if not quite
1900. Nobody dared predict more than
55, 600 and few were 30 sanguine as that.
Vermont is the most purely agriouI-
tural State in the East, and If free silver
were to make any inroads in this Sec
tion they would have been made in Yer
mont. But none of the Green Mo unta;n
Republicans have been drawn away from
their party by the free Q oinage cry, while
very many Democrats have been impelled
by 1t to either stay at no me or vote the
Republican ticket. In 40 towns the Re-
publican vote exceeds that of the same
towns in 1899 by 16, 600 while the Demo-
cratic vote in the same towns shows a
falling off of 4, GOO, making net Republi-
can gain of so,o00, shows clearly that the
currency issue not only got the -Republi-
cans out but kept the Democrats in.
Perhaps the vote of Vermont may not
be safe index of the the political feel
Ing In the western agricultural States,
the conditions being somewhat different,
though awhile ago the silver men were
predicting large gains in the Green
Mountain state because most of the pop
ulation were farmers. Il is, however, a
safe index of the sentiment of the interior
Of New York and of the farming section
Of every eastern state. We can now set
it down as settled that free SILVER ia des-
tined to cut no figure amongst the agri-
cultural population Of the middle or east
ern States and that therefore every one
Of them is solid for the Republi can tick

THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION.

9A%NlCA<14N<AE CONt ENIlON,
The convention of Democrats who are
not ready to swallow the doss prepared
tor them ty Algeld and Tillman opened
at Indianapolis yesterday, and was a
large and impressive gathering. The
speech OF the temporary chairman, ex-
Gov. Flower, was severe, bit truth
ful, arrangement of the Chicago platform
and the Chicago candidates, and very
effective demonstration that the result Of
foistilg the free silver heresy upon the
country could only be disastrous
Of course the men who have Assem- bled
in the convention do not hope to elect
their candidadte, but they do hope that
the effect Of their action will DO to
help defeat the Chicago platform and
candidates. They are Democrats who
believe that the wslfare of their party
as well as OF the country will be best
promoted by defeating the spurious
Democracy which got possession of the
chicago convention and made it subsery-
lent to their designs The election of
Bryan means that the Democracy W i'll be
swallowed up lin Populism and against
this fate for their party they protest and
struggle.

Idle, We think, to talk of nominating
cleveland. for the reason among others
that he would not accept. Col. Water
son had a strong following but the sober
second thought will probably reject him
as too cratic and headstrong. Villas and
Bragg of Wisconsin both have strong
support, and either would make credit
able candidate. The same can BIZ said of
Senator Gray of Delaware. Though the
candidate here nominated cannot be
elected, yet the selection will have much
to do with the influence which the con-
vention will exert upon the canvass, and
will go far to lower or heighten the re-
spect in which the movement will be held
by the people.

obligation OF the city. these bonds are secured
by flrst mortgage upon the water works now

owned or built. This mortgage Is made to the

BY building these works an ample. supply Of

that the net profit from private consumption
will be more than sufficient to ply the interest
