THE VERMONT ELECTIONS.
Opinions of Republican Journals on the
Result.
Vermont as state belongs to the
farmers and they appear to be able to
run things without any aid from luna
tic sylums.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
We are anxiously waiting to learn
whether the other eight or nine men in
Vermont voted the straight popocratio
or a scratched ticket.-Chicago Post.
1t is most significant victory. 1t in
dicates that the tide has set in in the
northern states against the Chicago
ticket stronger than it ever began IN
any Observation-Disclosures Journal.
Vermont speaks the voice of the
American people. Its voice is the first
leap of the tidal wave which is TO sweep
over the country next November and
bury forever the party of business and
political anarchy, revolution and repu-
diation.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
If the country shall vote as the first
reports indicate the voting has been
done in the towns in Vermont, the re-
publican plurality will be something
phenomenal. AS an opening sunrise
gun in the sound money fusillade the
result in the Green Mountain state
leaves nothing to be desred.-Phila-
delphia Record.
Concerning the Vermont election, Mr..
Hanna said: THE result of the state
election in Vermont makes it appear
that the people exercised sound, sober
sense in dealing with the questions at
issue, and showed their temper toward
the Chicago platform. 1t indicates that
the people, as a whole, will repudiate
that platform"
There is an old saying about Vermont
that when its majority is above 10000
the republican national ticket is as
sured of election, but when it falls be-
low 10000 the democrats can expect
victory. Let the old saw pass for what
it is worth. The facts are encouraging
enough for the adherents of sound
money. There are decided republican
gains and democratic losses as a result
of the thinking the people haye been do
ing in Vermont, and there is good rea-
son TO believe in like result through
out the country in Noyenber.-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.
The significance of the result is toe
plain to be misunderstood. The farrn
ers and quarry workers of Vermont
have served unmistalable notice on Mr.
| Bryan that they want none of the So
cent dollars which he has offered them
as the panacea for all ills. The splendid
victory for sound money in Vermont
will inspirit the supporters of Mckinley
in all other states, and foreshadows a
sweeping victory throughout the union
two months hence. 1t is II day for re-
ioicing-and for resolving 10 work right
up to the closing of the polls November
3.-N. Y. Tribune.
\ few weeks ago certain Of the free
silver enthusiasts of Vermont were as
surfing the public that the state would
cast its electoral vote for Bryan and the
free coinage of silver. Maine and Ner-
mont were the two states of the east
which Mr.. Bryan hoped to carry. Judg-
ing from the returns published Mr..
Bryan will probably admit that the
state is still republican. Maine will soon
have a chance of rolling up another
large republican vote. equally convinc-
ing. If the free-silver men have mis-
calculated as badly in the west as in the
east, McKinley's vote will be one of the
largest ever cast in q national election
for any candidate.z-Boston Advertiser.
Shrewd observers see in the returns
from Vermont confirmation of their
predictions that before October there
would be complete and almost pitiful
collapse of Brynn's campaign. They
recognized the seeds of early dissolu-
ton in the unconditional surrender Of
democratic doctrines to tho apostles of
free silver and reprdiation at the Chica-
go convention. There was something
more than ominous in the silence OF
democratic delegations on the rollcalls
after the adoption of the popocratic
programme and platform. The nom
nation of Bryan, who only last March
had declared: "I am not . democrat"
was notice to democrats that theirparty
organization had been swallowed up by
the populists, the effect of which the
paradoxical nomination of Sewall, OF
Maine, was ineffective to counterfeit
