The Voice of the People.

The magnitude and intensity of the Nc
kinley demonstration at Montpelier was
surprise and revelation to even the most
ardent Mckinley admirers The outburst
was spontaneous and genuine it was the
voice Of the people. 1t was the voice Of
the people finding utterance in spite of the
Vaccinations of the bosses.
1t is well known that such men as Platt
and Quay and Clarkson have done all in
their power to check the popular demon
stration in favor Of Mckinley but SO far
have signally failed. 1t is also well-known
that both houses of congress are working
for Mr.. Reeds success. Senator Proctor
and Congressman Grout and Powers were
at Montpelier and did all that they reason
ably could to prevent the convention from
giving an expression Of preference; but
their efforts were in vain, the tide was too
strong to stem. BY the wise action Of the
convention Vermont is placed in the con-
stantly increasing number of states which
will 60 to St. Louis next June to nominate,
and later elect, the next president Of this
republic, William Mckinley Of Ohio.
In this connection we trust the TINES
will be pardoned for little self-congratu-
lation. In the issue of January IL we
said: "McKinley's star is rising toward the
zenith with undimmed lustre; Reeds is
scarcely above the horizon, and shines with
uncertain light" This sentence in connec-
tion with the statement that the majority of
Vermont freemen favored the candidacy
Of Mr.. Mckinley provoked an outburst OF
comment and even ridicule from large
percentage of the state papers. At that
time not paper in Vermont had declared
for Mckinley. Later when the warm winds
of spring began to thaw the frost from the
| tin editorials of some of the contempora-
ries, a few had the audacity to declare that
Mckinley might under certain contingen-
cies be quite favorite in Vermont. When
there was no doubt regarding Vermont's
preferences, perhaps 20 per cent of the
papers of the state came out boldly for the
Ohio statesman. We repeat that the TIMES
takes pardonable pride in being the firs
paper in Vermont to give expression to the
presidential preferences of the Republicans
of the state
Vermont's stand on the presidential
question is a high compliment to the indie
pendence OF her citizenship; it means pro
lection for factory, farm and freside. ant
one of the grandest victories in the histor.
of the Republican party.

Bicycle Thieves CAPTURED,

The two wheels stolen from the square
in Keene Monday evening have been re.
covered and the thieves brought to justice
Marshal Philbrick of Keene through
shrewdness followed up certain clews and
with the result that early Wedneday even
ing two boys were found in Alstead with
the wheels in their possession. The young
men confessed their guilt and were ar
raigned before Judge Holmes Thursday
morning-Cady aged 10 OF Alstead and Fl
field Of Langdon, aged 16 years and s
months. Each pleaded guilty and was
bound over in the sum OF $500 for appear
ance at the next October term of the SUI
preme court. They will be unable to furnish
sureties Immediately, in all probability, and
will have to remain in Jail until they are
The wheels taken by the boys were uset
somewhat roughly, but were not very Sc
riously damaged.

Manley-Grosvenor Bulletin.

AS usual last Saturday Mr.. Manley of
Maine, Mr.. Reeds manager, and Gen.
Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr. McKinley's
manager, issued their weekly bulletins re-
garding the progress of the presidential
campaign, but these mathematicians seem
never to be able to arrive at the same re-
suits.
Mr.. Manley says:
'sOut of 250 delegates thus far chosen
in the block of states north of the Potomac
and east of the Ohio-a block of states con-
tanning great proportion of the manutac-
turing and commercial interests of the
country-Gov. Mckinley has secured only
nine votes. Gov. McKinley's percentage
of the delegates elected remains practically
as it did one week ago: Whole number

for Mckinley. .250; for all other candidates,

A COmmendabIe Purpose.

G. l. Hood, the proprietor of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, is known to be a great lover
of animals. He is the owner of Hood
Farm which is situated few miles from
Lowell and is well known as the home OF
the famous Jerseys which won the prizes at
the Worlds Fair. There are over 250
head, and it is undoubtedly the finest herd
of Jerseys in the world.
Mr.. Hood is making an effort to dis
tribute some of this high bred stock over
the farms Of this section, believing that the
interest of the farmers will thus be greatly
promoted. The first annual auction sale
of Hood Farm Jerseys is to be held Friday,
May 8. A handsome, Illustrated catalog
of the sale may be had by sending address
to Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.

Joe Manley of Maine claimed yesterday
that he had received telegram from
Senator Proctor saying that the Vermont
delegates would support Reed at ST. Louis
Notwithstanding the action of the con-
vention at Montpelier. We are inclined
to believe that Joe is little related to
Ananias.

Stickney and Grout were early on the
ground, so also were their numerous heelers
and admirers. Both candidates did an
enormous amount of hand-shaking, and it
is feared that the habit Of smiling con-
tracted has become chronic. Impartial
judges say that the contest for nomination
will be close aud exciting. Stickney is
surely growing in favor with the rank and
file of the voters of the state and his chance
of winning the prize grows brighter each
day.

confning his figures to comparison be-
tween the Mckinley vote and the number
necessary to choice, 456. He also de-
clined to discuss the accuracy Of the tables
OF votes of anybody, and said 81 rely
with absolute confidence upon ultimate re-
suits to vindicate my figures Nc kinley's
strength, as Gov, Grosvenor gives it, stands
to-day at 444.
Now, looking forward, the prospect is
very pleasant There are about 200 dele
gates to be elected hereafter, as follows
Alabama 4, Georgia 4. Illinois -, Ver-
mont 8, Arizona s, California Is, Michigan
e, Nevada 6, West Virginia 8, Montana s,
Missouri l6, Delaware 6, Colorado s,
Washington s, Idaho 6, Wyoming 6,
North Carolina 1S total, l66. The bal
ance are scattered by districts over the
entire country.
"lt will be observed by a careful analy-
sis of these votes yet to come that it is a
modest and conservative statement to claim
that Mckinley will have 125 of those votes
and probably more. Thus. it will be seen
that my statement that May would see
Mckinley within reach Of majority was
not only not an exaggeration, but has been
verified by results and will be conclusively
demonstrated by actual figures when the
delegates are elected

N"y
The Grouts were out in full force.
William and Theophil,ts and Josiah were
there with banners flying. The majors
lieutenants are well aware that the office
seeking propensities of the family are bit
distasteful to the state at large, SO every
precauton was taken to keep these gentle
men in the background. They thought it
wise not to make the occasion Grout
demonstration.
As usual the press OF the state were well
represented, but rather as tools in the
hands OF politicians than distinctive polit-
ical power. As class newspaper men are
not of the broadest intellectual gauge, nor
the most independent men in the world.
The hattering attentions of political boss
frequently warps, their. judgment lament
ably. There are shining exceptions; the
newspaper fraternity of the state can claim
some representatives who are men of wide
culture and real leaders of public opinion.
Coils. Forbes and Harris were there, the
former carefully nursing his flowing mus
tachios, and the latter booming the Yer
monter.
The lack of independence among Yer
| mont newspaper men was demonstrated
several months ago when the state press
pretty generally began booming Reed
because the Boston journal said he was
| the man that ought to be doomed. BY the
way the Overwhelming demonstration for
Mckinley is sad commentary on the
power of the press as moulder of public
sentiment. With IS per cent of the state
papers whooping for Reed, and about 10
per cent of the people favoring his candi-
dacy, we have a spectacle for the gods.
The fine selections rendered by the
Montpelier military band were much
enjoyed This is one of the finest bands
in the state.
Hugh Henry's Mckinley resolution was
the expression of the voice of the people.
Its introduction caused an outburst oi
enthusiasm unequalled in state eonven-
ton for at least 80 years.
Brattleboro did valiant service for Me-
Kinley We feel like doing penance for
all the aggravating things we ever said or
thought or thought of thinking about that
pretentious burg Col. Haskins' philippe
against the cowardb attempt of the Reed
managers to thwart free expression Of
preference for president was one of the
best efforts of the convention.

Supposed Cuban Expedition Embarks
From Atlancic City.
NEW YORK, May 3.-A World special
from Atlantic City, N. j., says:
While the board walk and beach were
crowded with visitors last night, large,
raklsh steamer stopped within mile of
shore and lowered four boats, which
made for the ocean pier. AS they neared
the pier large crowd gathered there.
When the boats came up, a score of
silent, swarthy men forced their way to
the front and as soon as the boats
touched the landing stage, they leaped
into them and were Immediately rowed
to the steamer, which had not anchored,
but kept circl1ng about with all steam
up. Just as soon as the strangers were
put on board the mysterious craft made
off with all speed to the southwest.
The general opinion among seafaring
men here Is that another Cuban expedi-
ton has successfully got away and that
the steamer already had on board arms
and ammunition.

person. The stronghold stormed by
Ynclan's forces was not, properly speak
ing, fort. There is an old ranch on
the top of the stony hill at Caracajicara,
whose sides form PERCEPTIONS descent
to the road which winds through bold
rocks and are not wide enough for col
umn to spread out TO advantage. There
is little timber or brush around there.
The insurgents fortified the road in two
places by barrIcades, one above the
other, with the intention of preventing
the Spanish troops from reaching the
hills, where the main rebel camp is
located. The officials say that the in
snrgents fought desperately and that the
results given prove they had every ad-
vantage of the situation. They poured
down shot from above upon the troops,
who were practically shut in cut in the
ravine. 1t is supposed that rebels were
sent from the point of attack to notify
Antonio Maceo who hurried forward to
attack Ynclan. Officials reports say
that he was re- eatedly repulsed.
