Democratic ticket nominated at Chi
cago and calls on all gold standard
Democrats to work for Mckinley.

Democratic party, assembled regularly

to revive the free coinage Of silver al

This might be discouraging TO th,

forgave him for it, but in 1888, havin
no alternative, II gave Cleveland It

Massachusetts, Republican Convention.

The Massachusetts state Republican con-
vention to elect delegates to the St.
Louis convention was held last Friday, and
Of course endorsed Reed and sound money
j. H. Manley Of Maine, Reeds chief
lieutenant in the campaign sent the follow
ing letter to cheer up the dropping spirits
Of the Reed contingent.
''At the close OF your convention there
will have been 39S delegates elected.
Gov. Mckinley will have 1862 delegates,
provided you assign to him the entire dele
cations from Wisconsin, Indiana and Min
nesota. Bnt there should be taken tron,
this number II delegates from these states
who have declared since their election in
favor OF Mr.. Reed, and, as they were not
instructed, they should be taken from the
Mckinley column and placed in Mr..
Reeds
This gives Gov Mckinley $50 dele
gates, Mr.. Reed y, Gov. Morton 6l,
Senator Allison SO, Senator Quay 26,
Senator Cullom 10; contested, Sc.
You will see that this gives Mr.. McKin-
ley $50 delegates, against 210 antiMckin-
ley delegates.
The situation is precisely as it was 20
years ago. You will remember three
months before the convention met at Gin
cinnati we were confident of Mr.. Blaine's
nomination. He stood then as the apostle
Of protection, but he had opposed to his
nomination Senator Conkling of New \ ork,
Senator Morton Of Indiana, Secretary
Bristow Of Kentucky, Gov. Hayes Of Ohio
and Gov. Hartranft of Pennsylvania.
We felt so sure OF Mr.. Blaine's nomina-
ton that we regarded it as settled, and yet
he was defeated in the convention, and the
Maine man went down before the Ohio
governor.
History will repeat itself at St. Louis.
Gov. Mckinley is, and will be, the leading
candidate in the convention, but he will
have opposed to him as candidates Gov.
Morton of New York, Senator Allison of
Iowa, Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senator
Quay Of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Reed OF
Maine. You will find that the tables will
be turned and the Ohio governor will go
down before the man from Maine.

The "Ring" Again.

The merest suggestion that there can be
such thing as a ring in Vermont poll
tics, causes some Of our contemporaries to
jump about with remarkable alacrity. With
one or two exceptions, they do not, like
fair antagonists, admit the existence of the
ring and attempt to show wherein it is a
benefit to the state, nor do they give argu-
ments to disprove its existence They
make faces and call names and attempt to
distract the attention from the point in
issue by innuendoes and glaring generali-
ties. This combine, this organization, this
ring" or whatever it may be called, is
spoken of as a "spook, a myth" a ''fab-
rication." All who argue against the '.old
FOUNDERS" longer controlling affairs and
making out the states are charged with a
burning desire to displace the old ring and
build up new one.
We insist that there is wide difference
between effective party organization and a
ring, so-called. A recent issue of the Rut-
land Herald gave this definition of a
''ring."
Suppose that ten men unite in an attempt
to make, one of the number governor, that
they follow justifable methods in their cam
paign and that that is all there is of it
Suppose, again, that ten men unite in try
ing to make one of the number governor

Oxford Wins Again.

The annual rowing contest between Ok
ford and Cambridge universities came off
last Saturday over the course on the
Thames near London. Oxford was the
winner by the quarter of a length, winning
its seventh consecutive victory. The course
is four and one fourth miles and the time
was 20:0 :01.
These two great English colleges have
contested the palm of victory of the Putney
Montlake course, which is four miles and a
quarter in length, since 1876.
In that year Cambridge won. Next
year it was dead heat, and in 1878 Ok
ford won Cambridge followed with a vic
tory in 1879, and then her rival led for
four years. Cambridge won in 1884 and
Oxford next year, and then Cambridge
held down the next four races. Beginning
with 1890 Oxford has won every race.
A synopsis of all the races shows seven
victories for Cambridge, 13 for Oxford
and one dead heat. The greatest victor,
was in 1878 when Oxford led by 10 lengths
The best time was 10 min. AZ sec, in 1898

MCKINLEY VICTORY.
New Hampshire Republicans at Concord fail
to instruct for Reed-Senat0r Chandler
Rebuked-DeIegates at large elected.

The New Hampshire Republican state
convention to elect delegates at large to
the St. Louis national convention met in
Concord yesterday and effected the follow
ing organization. President, William E.
Chandler, Concord vice presidents, one
from each county; Joseph Hinkham, Rock
ingham; Albert Wallace, StrafIord E. G..
Bean, Belknap; William Kennett, Carroll E;
Walter S. Davis, Merrimack; Edward O..
Blunt, Hillsborough; Seth NJ Richards,
Sullivan; Henry H. Holt, Grafton; Frank
p. Brown, Coos.
Senator Chandler is the man who has
been making the most violent attacks on
the Mckinley campaign of any man in pub
lie life, and nothing short Of the selection
Of a delegation pledge to support Reed
would be an endorsement of Chambers
position. Not only does the delegation 60
unpledged, but for time it seemed doubt
full if Chandler could be elected chairman.
Speaking of the situation before the
meeting of the convention, the Manchester
Union Of yesterday morning says:
"McKinley sentiment has grown radidly
| throughout the day. 1t has been rampant
at times. 1t threatened to overturn Sena-
for Chandler as the proposed presiding
officer Of the convention, and it threatened
Col. James Woods candidacy with dire
dissolution but, concession after concession
has been made by the candidates, until the
result of the convention will be claimed for
Mckinley. If Colonel Woods is allowed
to go to St. Lonis as delegate, it will no
be as the mouthpiece OF Senator Chandler
to denounce Mckinley methods
On motion Hon. III. K. Burnham Of
Manchester, the following were unani-
mously elected delegates at large to the
national convention by acclamation: Hon.
Stephen S. Jewett Of Laconia; Frank S.
Streeter of Concord; James A. Wood OF
| Acworth Charles 7. Means of Manches-
ter. The alternate delegates elected were
as follows: G. A. Clark, Manchester; S.
| II. Gale, Exeter O.. c.. Hatch, Littleton
Dexter Richards, Newport
In the platform Reed and Mckinley
stand shoulder to shoulder. The platform
says: "We recognize as most conspicuous
among the candidates New England noble
and illustrious son, Hon. Thomas B. Reed
Of Maine, and that pure and able states
man and champion Of protection. Hon.
VIM. Mckinley of Ohio We will give
the electoral vote of New Hampshire to
any nominee who worthily represents the
party, but we prefer one of these, because
either is in himself platform
Nearly all of the 700 delegates entitled
to seats in the convention were present.
The most notable feature of the convention
was the surprising strength of the McKin-
ley element, and the concessions on the
part Of the Reed champions.

both sides for April 2s, Tuesday, in Bur-
lington. The trial will be held before

Of the most vigorously and ably contested.

New Hampshire News.

1t is estimated that there are $4,000
bushels of potatoes in the cellars of Coos

Gen. Luther McCutchins, widely known
in this state and the republican candidate
for governor in 1874, died at his home in
New London March 27, aged 80 years.
Fire in Kensington Friday afternoon de-
stroyed the large barn and shoe shop on
the Charles Foss place. 1t also burned
over 40 acres of land and set the buildings

Of house, barn and slaughter house, totally
destroying them with contents. Foss loses
about $1,000 and Evans $4,000.
AT the republican caucus held in Hins-
dale last Friday evening the following del
egates to the state and district conventions
to be held March 81 were chosen: State,
Charles j. Amidon, Lemuel F. Liscom,

another shall have the place two years
hence and so on with the rest until No. l0
is made governor in 1916. The operation
first supposed is certainly all right and
proper the other is certainly all wrong ana
improper-it is ''ring work" Doubtless
many people who regard that sort OF thing
with disfavor in general way have failed
to realize how wrong and really mischievous
the thing is.
In Vermont there is only one party, so
far as success at the polls is concerned, and
consequently the contest in the primaries
and the nominating convention is much
sharper than in states where the voters are
more evenly distributed among the differ
ent parties. In Vermont there is no call
for aggressive campaigning on the part Of
the republican party in order to defeat
democracy, and as result there is all the
sharper contest in the conventions for the
nominations Whoever is nominated is
sure Of an election and that is why there
are so many republican gubernatorial candl-
dates this year. As further result OF this
state of affairs there is always u strong
temptation for combines, deals and Jobs.
Suppose four men, good and true, want to
be governor very bad indeed. They and a
few of their satellites come together and it
is decided that A shall run this year and B,
G and d shall support him. B is to run
next time and A, C, and d shall support
him and SO on through the list. The wishes.
of the voters at large are not consulted; a
self-constituted body of office holders and
seekers, propose by intrigue and tricks
well known in politics to portion out among
themselves all the principal offices of the
state. We insist that this is the state of
affairs in Vermont regarding the present
gubernatorial campaign and further insist
that it argues the existence OF what in
political parlance is termed ''ring."
