Notes After the Election.

There have been more out-of-town buy
ers of dry goods in New York city this
week than at any time before since the
panic which followed the Barring Bros. fail
ure.
The United States treasury, for the first
time in several years, is receiving gold in
considerable quantities for custom duties.
The gold reserve has increased since the
election to upward of 1922, 234, ,315.
The Republican congressional campaign
committee is to be made permanent, with
headquarters in Washington, where, in
connection with the national committee, ii
will continue the fight against free silver.
President-elect Mckinley sent this an.
swer to Mr.. Bryan's message of congratu-
lation. 81 acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous message of congratuation with
thanks, and beg you will receive my best
wishes for your health and happiness"
The cabinet makers have been busily al
work since the election and If they could
have their way the job would be finished
in short order. Thomas B. Reed and Sen.
ator John Sherman for secretary of state
Cornelius N. Bliss of New York for the
treasury, and Col. Fred Grant for secretary
of war are among the leading guesses.
The Virginia Republican campaign com
mittee claim that the Republicans carried
the state by at least 10000 majority, anC
elected seven of the ten congressman, but,
the secretary says, 1--WE have been swindleC
out of 1t by the most deliberate and infa
nous frauds ever perpetrated in the whole
history of southern fraudulent elections. >
Flowers have poured into the Mckinley
house in unlimited quantities since thu
election. So many came last Saturday
that Mrs. Mckinley shared a wagon loac
of them with the sick of whom she knew
in Canton and with the patients in the
hospitals. Less agreeable are the begging
letters which come by the score and asI
for money for all sorts of purposes from
wedding gowns to the payment of churct
debts o. to keep away starvation. As {
clincher writer now and then says: "Ii
you don't respond within "a hours yoU
will probably hear of my death"

What John Sherman Would Do.
He Is Strongly Opposed to "A Special Ses-
sion Of Congress.


Senator John Sherman of Ohio made a
most important speech Wednesday night
as the guest of the Union League club of
Brooklyn, n. Y, at dinner in celebration
of the result of the election. The speech
was important because of the senator s
great influence in the legislation to be un-
dertaken by the present Congress next
month and by the succeeding Congress.
1t is the first full expression by a Republi-
can of national reputation since the cleo
tion. His advice may be epitomiZed thus: /:
l. Pass the Dingley tariff bill, improved,
if possible, so that the Mckinley admins
tration may come into power with enough
money at its command to meet current ex-
penses.
2. No extra session of Congress. / am
dead opposed to extra sessions.
8. Let revision of the tariff wait until
We can go about it calmly and deliberately.
The true way is to appoint a tariff COM
mission of able and eminent men to con-
slider the whole question apart from po-
litical considerations and give us tariff
law that will last for long time.
4. When we do revise the tariff, take
care of the farmer. The fact that the
farmer has not had his full share of pro-
bCSblOh APlolno hlo NOJC III IlC pdoJs IIO-
tect him along with the artisan and the
laborer. 1t is a mistake to think that
protection is for the manufacturer only.
8. Encourage our merchant marine,
even by paying reasonable rebates, if need
be. want to see our flag afloat on every
ocean. Our forefathers had the right idea.
6. No coinage of silver dollars until we
can put into the silver dollar enough sill
yer to make it equal in value of the gold
dollar the world over. We Republicans
are not opposed to silver! We never were
opposed to silver! But We are opposed to
silver monometallism.
I. Welcome all conservative men to our
party. The result of this election did not
come about through the Republican party
alone, and we are in honor bound to give
a big share of the credit to large part of
the Democratic party.

The Fruits of Victory.

The first fruits of the sound money VIC
tory are seen in release of gold that has
been boarded, in an increased interest in
investments Of all kinds, and in a revival
in industrial enterprises which is surpris-
ing all by its magnitude. Gold is being
presented to the United States treasury in
large quantities in exchange for green
backs, the treasury reserve is increasing
steadily, and for the first time in several
years gold in large quantities is being paid
for customs dues. The prices in invest
ment circles are advancing steadily, and
millions of dollars which waited declara-
tion in favor of a stable currency will now
be expended in new buildings and various
that in Maryland alone S16,000,000 which
was being held back to await the result OF
the election of Mckinley will be expended
at once. The telegraph brings news each
day from all over the country of the open.
ing of factories and the employment Of
labor that has been idle. The New York
World, a Democratic paper, published
Tuesday list of manufacturing concerns
that had resumed operations within q
week, giving employment to 100000 hands
Other firms that employed over 10,OO(
hands changed from half time to full time
during the week.
The good news has continued each day
and all over the land the fires are being
lighted under boilers and the sound o
busy industry is heard. The "whit,
slaves" that Democratic orators shouted
about four years ago are having chanc,
to return to that which they have desired
more than all else during the past TIVE
years-work and wages.
In every business community the effec
of the relief from doubt and anxiety i
seen in an increased circulation of none!
which comes from willingness, not be
fore felt, to part with funds in hand to pay
bills and to make new purchases.

The popular plurality for Mckinley will
not vary much from the 1000, 900 mark.
When tie official returns are all in it may
stand at few thousands above this. One
of the most careful ,timates puts McKin-
ley's vote at /, 1,547,3 and Bryan's at 507,-
459. No presidential candidate has ever
received plurality approaching this. The
nearest to it was Grants plurality Of 1922
991 over Greeley in 1872. Up to that time
the half-million mark had never been
reached. James Buchanan had plurality
of 1860 in 1856 and Abraham Lincoln
one of 491, ,195 in 1860. Cleveland's plu-
rality in 1892 was 3s0,S10. Mckinley will
have strong and conclusive majority in
the electoral college, but the most crafty
ing thing about the election of 1896 is the
decisive expression of the peoples senti-
ment on the issues which the Chicago con-
vention forced to the front.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-11-13

The prospect that it will be possible to
enact tariff legislation to increase the reve-
nues is greatly improved by replies which
Senators Clark and Warren of Wyoming,
Senators Brown and Cannon of Utah and
Senator Perkins of California, have mad e
to enquiries by the New York World. All
but Cannon of Utah say that they will
participate in a Republican caucus and
abide by its decision as to bills increasing
the public revenues. Three of them are
as much opposed to the single gold stan
dard as ever, but only Senator Cannon
will insist upon free silver rider to the
Dingley or any other tariff bill.

The RIrction ReanI1.

There is no essential change in the fig
ures upon the electoral vote from those
printed last week, when PIT votes were
given to Mckinley and ITO to Bryan. 1t
proves that the electoral vote of Delaware
will be divided, two votes going to McKin-
ley and one to Bryan, which would leave
McKinley's vote at 276. But the vote of
Wyoming, which was credited to Bryan,
has probably been given to Mckinley by a
small majority. This increases the Nc
Kinley vote to 279, but as an offset the
vote of South Dakota proves to be in
doubt with the chances in Bryan's favor,
which would reduce the Mckinley vote to
275. 1t will not fall below this, and may
go to 279. The result in Kentucky was
very close, the Republican majority being
only about 500. The Republican mana
gers in Virginia and Tennessee claim that
the vote of both those states was cast for
Mckinley beyond any doubt, and that it
was only through the grossest frauds that
it was counted for Bryan in both cases.

The ProbablIIty of an Extra Session.

The question, or probability, as to
whether President Mckinley will call
special session of the Fifty-ffth Congress
as soon as his administration comes in has
been topic of discussion since the cleo
tion. The most intelligent, and doubtless
the most reliable, statement on this sub
ject is that by Congressman Dingley of
Maine, who says that no decision on this
point can be reached until Congress meets
in December and there is an exchange Of
views between the members and the presi-
dent-elect. The need for additional reVe-
nue. to run the government is as pressing
now as it was when the silver senators
killed Mr.. Dingley's remedial tariff bill as
final desperate move in behalf of free
silver. The sooner the needed revenue is
provided the better, but "the probable
status of the Senate on such tariff legisla-
tion after March 4 win have much to do
in determining the course to be pursued. {"

Gen. Grout, the representative in Con-
gress from this district, takes time by the
forelock by publishing an announcement,
which is printed elsewhere, that in dealing
with contested post-office cases he will re-
fer the question to caucus of Republican
voters, and the candidate receiving ma
jority of votes will be recommended to the
department for appointment. This action
is in accordance with Gen. CIRCUITS we'll
known belief that the people interested
should choose their postmasters and the
post offices be taken out of politics.

Mr.. Bryan talks about 1900, and makes
a very apparent bid for another nomina-
tion then, but the more the result of the
election is studied the more evident it is
that it was the intention of the people to
stamp out for good the issues on which his
canvass was made. 1t would have been
very gratifyingjf Kansas, Nebraska, and
both the Dakotas, not to mention two or
three other states, could have been added
to the Republican column, but the essential
fact remains that the great states of the
middle West and the Northwest, where
alone lay the hope of free silver success,
gave their votes for sound money by such
overwhelming majorities as to leave no pos
sible basis on which the Bryanites can
build prospect of future success.

No. Io5 NEW PROCESS.


The advantage Of the NEW
PROCESS" Blue Flame Coal
Oil Stove over the gasoline
stove is the first cost of the ma
terial used. There is nearly
one dollars difference in cost in
favor of coal oil. A case Of
gasoline no gallons) will only
last two weeks, while an equal
quantity of coal oil used in the
"NEW PROCESS will last a
month.
This estimate is made on the
basis of the stoves cooking
three meals a day, the dinner
to be comprised of the full num-
Der of courses.
We have these stoves in two
styles. The number "Io5" isas
per the above cut and consists
of three burners. This stove
is very convenient for medium
sized family, having all the fix
lures used on the larger stove.
In the above cut the oven is
shown in position for baking or
roasting.
When not in use for either
it can be conveniently pushed
back and the burner used for
other purposes. The weight Of
the "Io5" is only 1870 pounds
and costs complete $a2.5o.
The No. 100 stove is exactly
the same as the "Io5" except
that it has four burners instead
of three. The cost of the "Io6
is $25 complete. The weight
is 40 pounds.
All the burners can be used
for cooking at the same time
The wick raiser is strong and
p0SitiUe in its action. One wick
will last a whole season with
constant use if proper care is
taken. The enameling and
decorations are Of the highest
order.
