What the World Saws.

The New York World has been looking
over the political field pretty carefully,
and as the result says Mckinley will bet he
next republican candidate for president.
Whether his nomination will be made by
acclammation or on the first, second or
after many ballots cannot be foretold, as
the national convention does not meet at
st. Louis for three months and two days.
But Mckinley is already the chosen candi-
date of the west and south. That combi-
nation has never been beaten in national
convention. He will have practically the
solid delegation from Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois, Missouri, Kansas and Wisconsin, and
nine-tenths of all the southern delegates.
He will be opposed by Gov. Morton, as a
local tavorite in New York; by Reed, as
the favorite of New England; by Allison
the first choice of Iowa, and possibly by
Davis of Minnesota.
Seven states have already held their state
conventions-Ohio, Iowa, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Wisconsin, and Kansas.
All but one, Iowa, instructed its delegates
for Mckinley, in spite of the energetic
work of Morton and Quay missionaries.
States nractical1y solid for Mckinley.

Dead Slow,

The suit of Urban A. Woodbury. VS..
Herald and Globe Association of Rutland,
soon to be tried. is looked forward to with
deep interest. 1t will accomplish one thing
at least, whichever way the verdict is, and
that is how far hotel keeper can 90 and
not violate the prohibitory law.-Barre
Enterprise.
Some charitable neighbor ought to ill.,
form the Enterprise that this famous (?)
suit was referred to the arbitration of three
supreme court judges something like a
month ago, and that there will be no trial
at all. Probably none of the evidence pro-
duced before the arbitrators will be made
public and it is difficult to see how anything
regarding the prohibitory law will be set
tied. After all the footing of horns, flour
ishing of bowie knives, and braggadocio in
dulged in last fall, this seems like rather
tame conclusion OF what promised to be an
interesting trial. When the TIMES said
several months ago that the case would
never come to hearing, the prophecy was
characterized by several papers of the
state as sbortsighted, and we were assured
very solemnly that Gov. Woodbury. would
fight the case to the bitter end, and tha,
, the Herald would summon half the state O.
Vermont to prove its charges against the
Van Ness house. Here is splendid op
portunity gone by default. If the governor
felt entirely sure of bis footing, he should
have pushed his case and demonstrate tt
/, the people of Vermont how beautifully th.
prohibitory law can be carried out whel
backed by determination and integrity;
| the Herald felt dead sure it could estab
lish all its charges, it ought no; to hay,
agreed to arbitrate. This Don Quixote il
Vermont journalism processes to be th,
deadly enemy of the present prohibitor,
law and ought not to have let this splendiC
opportunity pass. 1t should have insisted
on trial and demonstrated to benightet
thousands that Vermont is a slough Of in
temperance inhabited by penurers AM
hypocrites. This was the opportunity of
lifetime. The Herald will never again hav
hslfso good chance to permanently aid tn
cause it processes to zealously advocate.

You Don't Say.

The reasons for which the journal sup
ports Major Grout for the governorship are
his eminent fitness for the position and the
fact that it properly belongs to Orleans
county. Mr.. Stickney is young man who
can afford to wal: for several years, while
II the honor is ever bestowed upon Major
Grout it must be this time. No party can
hope to succeed that refuses to honor those
who do valiant service in its ranks, and
who has done more than Major Grout?
Journal.
How does the governorship belong to
Orleans county? By what right, conquest
or succession? Orleans county with con-
gresham, state superintendent of educa-
ton, a justice Of the supreme court, SUI
prelne court reporter and an aspirant for
Senator Morrill's shoes, should now be
given the governorship; Orleans, one Of
the less important counties of the state both
in population and in property valuation,
should now have new honors thrust upon
its ambitious citizens. We repeat, by what
right?
Stiekney can wait, but with Josiah it i:
now or never. We must admit that thi.
argument has little force. The major
has been waiting 10, these many years, and
there is strong probability that hope long
deferred maketh the heart sick, but we die
not mistrust that the majors case was Sc
critical. VIII further deferriug prove
fatal?
But what about Stickney? His staying
qualities may not be as good as the major
aud waiting may prove fatal earlier in the
game. At any rate it looks very like the Re
publican party would soon have homicid'
or two on its hands.

Total number Of delegates in the con
vention, 9O9; necessary to a nomination,
455.
Less than one-fifth of all the delegates
to the Republican national convention have
now been chosen, but it is already plain
that, while the field marshals of the repub-
lican party--the Platts, Quays, Clarksons
and others-are all against Mckinley, the
masses of the republican voters demand
his nomination. The republican field mar
shals have never yet been victorious in a
national convention. 1t is nearly quar-
ter OF century since the strongholds of
republican votes have called SO loudly for
the nomination of any man as they are
now calling for Mckinley.
That they will make him their candidate
no longer admits of doubt

Several contemporaries, which, queerly
enough, are all supporters of Major CIRCUITS
candidacy, are 'ridiculing the idea Of a
''ring" in Vermont politics. Some Of them
allege that there is absolutely no such
thing. Others admit its existence, but
deny that its influence is baneful. The
Barton Monitor advances the curious prop
osition that the people are not to blame for
the condition that exists but are rather to
be congratulated because they have such
considerate political masters. 1t says in
effect that Vermont has not been dishon-
ored by any official that the ring has foisted
upon it. For this deliverance much thanks.
If we must bow to any self-constituted
political tribunal we prefer good one to a
bad one, of course. 1t is little odd,
though, to see papers claiming to be intelli-
gent sootbingly saying, $50, boss,n to the
people whenever there is the least prospect
Of their becoming restive under the yoke

Dirty Politics.

Now that the nomination Of Mckinley
by the St. Louis convention is practically
assured, his enemies and rivals are stoop-
ing to dirty politics to injure his reputation
with the people and compass his defeat if
possible. What could not be done by fair
means, they will attempt to do by foul.
Stories Of Doodle campaigning and whole
sale corruption are being assduously circu-
lated. The great Senator Bill Chandler of
New Hampshire, who ostensibly supports
Reed but is really grinding his own axe,
recently unburdened himself of lengthy
interview in which he says:
Ever since the movement for Mckinley
began it has been rumored that Mark
Hanna, now one of the Ohio delegates-at-
large, has been expending money in Mr..
Kinley's interest. There has been an I'M
willingness to believe this and a disposition
to attribute Mr.. Hanna's exertions to sim
cere and disinterested friendship for Mr..
Mckinley. Nobody now is so charitable.
1t is beginning to be believed that the Nc
Kinley movement is to be Doodle canvass
from start to finish. This belief will be in
furious to Mr.. Mckinley; it will be still
more injurious to the republican party,
especially if Mr.. Mckinley is nominated.
The issue will be made by our opponents,
whether we are to have a president who
was nominated by 'fat-frying' by the money
Of millionaire manufacturers, and is to be
elected by similar corrupt methods applied
tn tho fro fro ~, Yho
The cry of corruption coming from the
immaculate lips of Senator Chandler hath
the echo of sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal. If there is a trick in politics, hon
orable or dishonorable, that Senator
Chandler is not an adept at working, the
knowledge Of the fact has not become
general
Speaking Of this kind of politics the New
York Sun says
These and other similar yarns bear marks
of a common origin. They are undoubtedly
| the offspring Of mendacity and the grand
children of political malice. The progress
of Major McKinley's canvass for delegates
during the past fortnight has beer remark.

Ohio Money Plank.

Beloy is given the money plank in the
platform adopted by the state convention
that elected Mckinley delegates to attend
the st. Louis convention. Some say it
favors silver; others, sound money, and
still others call it a straddle 1t probably
depends on the kind of glasses with which
it is read.
We contend for honest money; for a
currency of gold, silver and paper with
which &c measure our exchanges that shall
be as sound as the government and as un-
tarnished as its honor, and to that end we
we favor bimetallism and demand the use
of both gold and silver as standard money

fixed by an international agreement, if that
can be obtained, or under such restrictions
