minds, able to grapple successfully
With the diverse problems of govern
ment has been upheld by Mr.. M ,rril
in his senatorial career. Its fame has
suffered no detriment, the national
welfare has received vast increment,
from his thirty-years' tenure of the
high office to which he was again re-
turned yesterday. He has been no ST.
lent factor he has held no secondary
rank, in the national deliberative body.
In the latter years of his official life he
has shown that cage is opportunity
no less than youth itself" The gulf
stream of youth has flowed far into the
Arctic regions of his existence. and we
behold, to-day, not "an old man broken
with the storms of state," but one who,
on the receding side of eighty-six
years, has the courage and the strength
of body and mind again to buckle on his
armor and battle for his country at
time of imminent vital peril. The
spectacle is most extraordinary and a
most interesting one.

The School SUPPLEMENTARY.

S. w. Landon of Burlington, whose
name has been mentioned by some of
the state press as a candidate for state
superintendent of education, writes the
Free Press as follows:
"To decline an honor which has not been
rendered, and very likely might not be- is
possibly an unusual and somewhat awk-
ward thing to do, but such seems to be my
duty at this time During the recent con-
tests for the state superintendency of edu-
cation / have always, until within a few
days, firmly refused to be a candidate, or
allow my name to be used for the position.
Less than week ago, however, yielding to
to the urgency of friends, l said, as cor
rectly stated in your columns, that If
elected I would accept the Office but that l
wodld conduct no canvass, nor would
make the slightest effort to secure an cleo
ton. Upon carefully considering the mat
ter farther, deem it wise to return to my
orr ginal determination, and wish to state
publicly through your paper that under no
circumstances will l allow my name to be
used in the election, nor would accept the
Office If elected. The position of state su'
perntendent, If secured and held by digni-
fed and legitimate methods, is surely one of
great honor, but do not want it, for rea-
sons that are largely personal and Of no in
terest to the public. I shall regret exceed
ingly il in any way 1 embarrass my friends,
but l trust that this will not be the case.
1t may not be out OF place for me here to
thank most cordially my friends, both those
who have been kind enough to urge me to
remain in my present position and those
who have offered to help secure for me the
other"

Beating the Long Roll.

With the end of the campaign APP
preaching, and the final clinch of
mighty political forces in sight, all
other subjects lose their interest for
Americans. The once potent Vene-
zuelan q uestion and the allied matter
of British aggression, pregnant with
warlike events, the atrocities of the
a" unspeakable Turk" and even the
later appearance of the American eagle,
with plumage belligerent winging his
course for the Dardanelles, "pale their
Intellectual fires" in the presence of
political events at home and the colos-
sal preparations for the battle of the
ballots in the cause of sound money and
national honor.
Bryan's frenzied declaration, I" We
ask no quarter, and we give no quar-
ter,' is accepted in its letter and spirit.
and he is to have political war to the
knife, and the knife to the hilt.r Chair
man Hanna's plans and preparations
at Chicago are complete. They are
stupendous in conception, and their
execution will begin with the opening
of the last week of the canvass. In
the closing days there will be fighting
all along the lines, over all the area
from ocean to ocean, from the lakes to
the gulf. Organism is to be smashed
to atoms. That is the programme.
All the state committees in the
Middle West and the Northwest are
working in harmony with the Dational
committee. Chairman Hanna will thus
be able easily to carry out his plans " to
lift the work, day by day, until the
great climax of the last week." AT
that time, it is announced, 1900 speak.
ers will be in the political field every
day, and these will be distributed with

National Headquarters.

Our political correspondents and old
campaigners are in the depths of adj
miration over the vast machinery in
operation at republican national head
quarters. Every department is run
with rapidly, thoroughness, and tire.
less energy. Every town and hamlet
states is instantly reached by vast
system and of direct telegraph wires.
The constantly moving army of 400
speakers, and The thousands of agents
and silent campaigners are in quick and
complete communication with head
quarters. Nothing is left to "hear
say" or "they say" Every step in
the campaign is known, and the in.
formation is direct and authentic. All
this led one of Chairman Hanna's
friends to say to him at the Auditorium
Hotel recently:
Hanna, you missed your calling.
You ought have been general. You'd
made Hannibal or Ce sar or a We'll
lington"
Hanna blushed like a schoolboy over
the compliment. Truly the pace has
been set for future national cam
paigners.
At popocratic headquarters things
are far different. 1t is with no desire
to be critical y offensive when il is re-
corded that everything pertaining to
these headquarters has a shiftess ap.
pearance that is positively distressing.
There does not appear to be any sys-
tenn for anything or anybody, Popo-
cratic headquarters, as compared to re-
publican headquarters, is very much
like junk shop to a 100-ton Corliss
engine. Chairman Hanna is nervy,
springy, and determined. Chairman
Jones is listless, dreamy, and uncer-
tain. Talk with Hanna and you find
him chock full of vim and fire. Talk
with Jones and you find him timid and
hesitating. He has far.away look.
Hanna is forceful and brim full of con-
fidence. Jones acts very much like a
man who has been hit with brick aud
who is on the lookout for more bricks.

Senator Morrill,.

The remarkable honor of a sixth
election to the American senate de-
scended yesterday upon the good gray
head which all men know" Senator
Morrill, was eighty-six years old on the
fourteenth of April. His national Ca
reer began in the house of representa-
tives of the thirty-fourth congress, to
which, also, he received six elections.
So well had he represented Vermont in
the popular branch of the national
legislature, the state was equally and
eminently distinguished in both
branches of that body. March A, 1867,
he bore the commission of his state to
the senate and in that body increased,
many cubits, his stature as a statesman.
To add to the luster of the fame Cola
mer and Foot had given Vermont, in a
legislative body that numbered among
its stars Seward and Sumner, and a
score of other luminaries of the first
magnitude, was like gliding fine gold,
but the reputation of the state as the
producer of statesmen with master

particular reference to the salvation of
the states in which the red standard of
Altgeld and Bryan is unfurled, and
upon the conquest Of which oil their
hopes of victory are ba ed. Those
states will be carpeted with campaign
literature, in all languages-in Hebrew ,
Dutch, Finnish, Spanish, French, Nor.
wegian, Swedish, Bohemian, German
and Italian. Speakers, also, in these
various tongues will expound the doc
trine of sound money and protection,
and its bearing upon their material
welfare, to the poyglot peoples of the
inf nite West. Already 200 tons of
campaign documents, each containing
from two to eighty pages, have been
distributed, but before election day 300
tons, or 300, 900 600 documents, will be
scattered over the region beyond the
Aleghanies.
A the mighty forces are in full and
active play. They are TO expeud their
energies in every warning state and
territory, and they are to make things
hum. The speakers are not to be
turned loose at once. They are to re-
lieve each other day by day till the
time for the last grand charge, when
all will make one united swoop upon
the enemy's lines.
So run the reports from national
headquarters. Verify, there is ground
for Senator's Quay's assuring bulletin.

The Hornets Nest.

One part of the field of Shiloh, from
the exceptional holiness of that fierce
battle, was called "the hornets nest"
Illinois is the hornets nest of this in
tense political battle between the forces
of this new secession and the men who
are carrying the national standards.
Altgeld is raging up and down the
state, in desperate straits, ready to
sacrifice Bryan if only he can make his
own election sure. True to his an
archistic traits, he has departed from
the rules of political ethics and political
warfare, and speaks of his adversares
as reptiles" GLARS" "leeches,"
" hounds" and blood-suckers." The
bombardment of this leader and incar-
nation of disorder and reputation
grows in intensity and effectiveness.
Among the schemes that are formed to
insure his overthrow and crush him be-
yond recovery is the organization of
the Governors Flying Squadron, !"
consisting of five star republicans who
have occupied the office of chief exec
utive in Illinois and the republican
candidate for that office in the pending
election. On the twenty.second, they
will start for tour of the state, going
on special train I" to spread the Cos
pei of sound money and protection"
The veteran Ex-Governor "Dick "
Oglesby and Senator Cullom are
among the stars, and ex-senator Far
well is invited to accompany the
Squadron" The train will consist of
two baggage cars, two sleepers, an OBJ
servation car, and long fiat car, which
will serve the dual purpose of speak
ers' rostrum and gun carriage for a
cannon which will awake the echoes
through Illinois. On each side of the
first baggage car there will be heroic
sized picture of Lincoln, and on each
side of the second baggage car there
will be heroic sized picture of Grant.
Thus are they whooping up the
fight" out on the prairies. Estimates
of McKinley's plurality in Illinois,
hitherto placed at 100000, have been
raised, on the strength of the registra-
ton in Chicago and the cumulating evil
dence from every part of the state, to
the colossal figure of 100000.

A BILL will be introduced this week Gre
ating the office OF attorney general, whose
duty it shall be to look after criminal prose-
cutions throughout the state.
GOVERNOR AND MRS. CIRCUIT and Miss
Bisbee occupied seats on the floor of the
House yesterday, while that body was
voting on the election of United States
senator.

tary of the Senate, is son of Col; e

THE bill introduced in the House on
Tuesday morning bearing on the matter
of double taxation is entitled to full and
free discussion If the recommendation of
Governor Grout is fallen in with, a remedy
of some sort will be found for this wrong.
THIS telegram was received yester-
day by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fisk: please
extend my congratulations TO Senator Nor
ril, father of the Morrill, tariff under which
our country had abundant prosperity for
thirty years. [Signedl Franklin Ii. Orvis"
In seconding the nomination of Justin s.
Morrill, as United States senator, Mr.. Pal
mer of Waterbury and Mr. Childs of st.
Adams paid glowing, eloquent and de-
served tributes to Vermont's grand old man.
In closing, Col. Childs said Fortunate in
deed is it for Vermont that she can still
command the services of Senator Morrill,,
fortunate Is it for this nation that she can
still command his services in the councils
of the world" Col. Haskins of Brattle-
boro characterized Senator Morrill, as a man
who never lost his head-as the Gladstone
of America.
THE bill introduced in the Senate, Mon
day afternoon, by Senator Deal of franklin
is intended to be operative during the pres
emit session. II provides that the members
of the general assembly shall be allowed to
vote for presidential electors at Montpelier
on November 3 mex, thus preventing the
necessity Of a long adjournment the latter
part OF next week TO allow senators and rep
resentatives TO go to their homes to vote.
In the interests of economy in state expenses,
this bill is in line with the work done
two years ago by Mr.. Deal, while serving as
chairman of the committee on claims in the
House.
