A Popular Triumph.-.Its Lesson,

Since the Vermont convention the
mugwump papers have taken to in
ordinate praise of Speaker Reed, and
regret and surprise are expressed that
the Green Mountain State should have
turned aside from the great forceful
character of Tom Reed and taken up
with Mckinley. If the mugwump were
honest he would find in the result of
the Vermont convention that which
should appeal nightly to his admira-
ton and enthusiasm.
The action of Vermont, in taking into
her own hands at that convention the
expression of her presidential prefer
ence was characteristic exhibition of
The Vermont character. 1t appeals to
the admiration of honest and patriotic
people everywhere. But little had been
said about Mckinley. The press, the
politicians, the leaders," and most of
the newspapers were for the man from
Maine, and that was supposed to settle
the matter of the states choice. But
the bosses, the politicians, the lead
ers," the spoils hunters and the news
papers were leaving out of their reck-
oning one important element of sue
cess, the people.
Now in this state campaign those
elements that are combining and con-
spring to force the nomination of
Josiah Grout for governor, because it
is his turn" because contracts are
out for certain goods and they must be
delivered, must not forget that there is
a great body of free, independent re-
pubicans to settle with at the caucuses
and the convention. The leaders of
this combination have proclaimed that
Josiah Grout shall be nominated; that
William W. Stickney shall be defeated
and reduced to subordination; that
when his "turn" comes he will be
summoned by this self-constituted junta
of managing politicians; that until that
time his proper role is obedience and
humility and subsection to the DEGREES
of the power that says to this citizen of
Vermont, Come, and he cometh; to
that citizen, Go, and he goeth.
For both the bosses and the people
there was lesson in the late conven-
ton. The bosses may see their danger
and be warned of the wrath to come;
the people may know their power and

Vermont and Mckinley.

Senator Proctor's statement leaves
little to be said on this subject. What
happened at Montpelier, week ago,
was simply the breaking of storm that
had been gathering since the fourth of
March, 1898. The lightning of Nc
Kinley oratory and the thunder of Nc
Kinley applause were simply the con-
sequences of the meeting of clouds that
had been for three years, under demo-
cratic rule and disaster, loading up with
political electricity. Speaker Reed
was all right, Governor Morton was all
right, Senator Allison was all right;
but William Mckinley, with the rank
and file, was the one name that was
associated with prosperous times. 1t
didn't require the presentation of evil
dence and two-hours' argument to
convince the farmer or the business
man that he is all right. The logic of
events had proved this and there was
an end of reasoning and appeal. Bill
Mckinley and the Mckinley bill were
convertible terms. This is all there
was in it.
1t is not necessary for the Boston
Journal to seek in Mckinley prose.
lyting an explanation of the phenome-
non. There had been none from the
outside, and only here and there had a
paper exhibited the hardihood to raise
its voice for the great protectionist.
The politicians, the bosses, the " lead
ers," and the bulk of the press were all
for Reed; but away up among the
mountains, twenty miles from the rail-
ways, as we'll as down among the mills
and factories, the Mckinley sentiment
had been lying dormant The touch
ing of the button at caucus and con-
vention aroused it, and the awakening
was like display of electrical energy.

His Quality as a Law.Maker.

Candidate Grout, who is reputed to
be campaign editor of the Barre Enter
prise-and the mountebank part the
masquerader is playing in type suits we'll
with his public record-said in recent
issue of that paper:
1.-THE Waterman suggests, intimates,
insinuates well, read its 1200-word editorial
and then you say what it says about Major
Grout opposing the state school and state
highway taxes in the senate OF 1892 Our
recollection of that session upon those sub
jects is that he favored both taxes.
Call at The Enterprise Office and receive a

Editor and Candidate Circuit is SO
mixed that even if he should adopt his
own suggestion to "change ends and
stand on his feet awhile" he would
find the task of Strengthening out his
tortuous legislative record hopeless
one. We must respectfully decline his
invitation to Z" call at the Enterprise Of
fee and receive new BIRTH" Sired
and damned as the register shows it to
be, the pedigree of the establishment is
not alluring.
The anonymous editor is shying at
his own shadow. The WATCHMAN has
never said that he-assuming that the
popular judgment is right and that she"
is Josiah himself, masquerading in
crinoline and frizzes-voted against the
FIVE per cent highway tax. The records
do not show it, and the Major is in po-
sition to claim that he voted for the
tax if the exigencies of his canvass in
the rural towns demand it. The
WATCHMAN did remark the fact that
the two daily papers most conspicuous
in supporting his candidature are de-
nouncing both the five per cent school
and the road tax. This is significant,
and the following incident and circum-
stances add to the significance: In
1884, when Senator William Chaplin,
the father of highway reform in Yer
mont, had worked through the senate
his bill for the disbanding and disper-
sion of the wasteful and inefficient
hoe-handle brigade, he sought, among
others, the support of Josiah Grout,
who was the representative from Derby,
for the measure in the house. What

An Object Lesson for the People.

Editor Of Watchman; - What did it at
Montpelier? Who did it? The LEADERS"
left to themselves, would never have done
it. 1t was in opposition to our political
traditions. Why was it done? Because
right then and there the people could have
something to say about who should be
candidate in '96. Right there they could
make themselves felt; and 80 the ringing
resolution for Mckinley was adopted with
cheers and a tiger. Vermont republicans
went in as they did at Ticonderoga and
Gettysburg. They struck when their blows
could count.
When will the next governor be elected?
At the state convention, June II. After
that, ratification simply. If the people
choice for themselves, without the lead
ers," where and how and when will it be
done? At the town caucus, electing dele
gates to the state convention. There the
people can strike a blow that will tell. II
they wish to rebuke those who played into
the hands OF corporations in 1886, when the
time was ripe for reforms, they must do it
at the caucus. If they wish to come from
under the power OF the "combine " that
has already -" slated" the future, it must be
done at the caucus.
The people forced the Mckinley resolu-
ton. The people said: cit is our wish, it
is our will" They tried in '86 to have the
railroads explain why Vermont farmer
should have to pay more for getting ton OF
hay or tub of butter hauled to central
Massachusetts, than farmer living hun
dred miles to the north or thousand miles,
more or less, to the west Of him? Why
should 'local traffic" be strangled, stamped
out, to make up long haul " losses? Those
in '86, who dared ask for an explanation of
these things, were "cranks." Railroad at
torneys could serve as chairmen of railroad
committees, but it would not do" to asso-
ciate with them a man of pronounced
opinions on Vermont's transportation prob

that IL i had wanted the convention to in

body has ever been a boss in Vermont, and

1t. The people of Vermont are accustomed
to making up their own mind, They do not

Joining states of Massachusetts and
New York, and nearly every other
state in the Union, have advanced with
prodigious strides. Not to continue to
pile up wealth and show large increase
in population, after the state has
passed its natural period of expansion,
is not conclusive evidence of decay or
even of inertia. A business corpora
ton that has existed for century, has
attained to a normal expansion Of its
operations, is maintaining its capital
and yearly declaring profitable divi-
dends, cannot be said to be in MORT
bund condition. This is about the
state of the case with Vermont, and
she has for twenty-five years main
tanned this condition in the face of in
huences and discouraging circumstances
that would have destroyed a commu-
nifty with less vitality; and these in
fuences and discouragements have had
no closer relation to or connection
with the principle of protection to
American industry than the phases of
the moon. Vermont sent 10000 men to
fight for the Union, and their valor
showed no signs of people in decrep-
itude. She promptly paid her own
debt, and now owes no man any,
thing. Taxation is light. Yer
mont's sons and daughters, and the
savings of Vermont's farmers, bust
ness men and manufacturers, made
under the protective policy, have built
up communities and fattened enter
prise all over the country; nearly
every center of wealth and population
in the North and West has its society
of Sons or Daughters of Vermont--and
sometimes both; for generation the
products of the cheap lands and rich
alluvial soils of the great West have
been carried right through Vermont
and laid down in her own markets, at
as low or lower rate of transportation
than the products of her own soil,
raised under relatively insuperable dis
advantages in respect of cost of land
and circumstances of tillage; as man.
ufacturing state Vermont can be no
competitor with Massachusetts and
other seaboard communities; as farm.
ing state she cannot compete with the
great West; she is placed on the great
highway between the East and the
West; she has suffered by the circum.
stances of this position, but in spite OF
these disadvantages, during all this try
ing period of her existence, she has
made large dividends of men and
money to build up and develop the
West, and the country at large, to carry
on its business and manage it's munich
pal and political affairs, to conduct it's
educational and religious institutions.
Such is Vermont's record during gen.
Grafton of protection. There is in it
everything to hatter her pride and to
justify her devotion to the great eco
nomic principle that makes her the
natural and the enthusiastic supporter
of the presidential candidacy of William
Mckinley.

T. j. DEAvITT, ESQ.,, who was in
Washington at the time of the Yer
mont convention, writes that its action
was great surprise in the national
capital, ct was" he says, ga very
important, If not decisive point in the
canvass for the nomination of McKin-
ley, which is now conceded to be the
outcome at st. Louis. Better still, it
may give to Vermont the second place
on the ticket. Senator Proctor's name
is frequently mentioned in that con-
nection, without knowing whether or
not he would accept the nomination.
AS Judge Poland said, in a similar con-
tingency at Cincinnati, when his name
was the subject of vice-presidential
speculation, "The convention might
90 further and fare worse-and prob
ably would" But Mckinley and Proc
tor will make splendid combination.
Vermont is solid for that ticket.

THE soldier, by whose apathy, or
acquiesence, not to say his active par
ticipation, an important post is carried
by the enemy, is not the one that is
picked out for promotion, and, above
all, for promotion to the rank of
mmander-in.chief. His dereliction
of duty, not to say betrayal of the
trust reposed in him, is not cured
when, after his conduct has been made
the subject of singing rebuke, he joins
in the assault for the recovery of the
lost position. This was precisely the
case with Senator Josiah Grout when, in
1892, the bill was passed in the senate
repeating the five per cent state school
tax, enacted in 1890 for the assistance
of the small and poorer towns of the
state, having a small grand list and
high tax rate for school purposes. By
his apathy, or neglect of duty, or acqui-
escence, the repeal bill was passed. No
voice was heard in opposition, no vote
was cast against the measure. The
post was captured by the enemy; not
a gun was fired in it's defense. Stung
by popular rebuke and condemnation,
charge was made and the position re-
covered. Now it is proposed to place
at the head of Vermont's civil and mil
itary affairs one of the officers out from
under whose eyes, without shot or
cry of alarm, most importa MT post in
the states Gordon of defenses was
taken. Do the 200, more or less, towns
for whose advantage and protection
that defense, the five per cent school
tax, was built, propose to ratify the
proposition to make this careless or cul-
pable official governor? We guess not.
