Vermont Election.

The Republicans carry Vermont by
nearly 40, 900, majority. This shows
that the silver craze does not affect
the Eastern States, and it is an in
dication that Mckinley will be elect
ed. The Vermont election will have
it's influence all over the country, de-
monstrating the fact that populism is
dead.
In Vermont the Republican vote is
largely increased, while the Demo
cratic vote is decreased. The total
vote is the largest ever polled.
Chairman Merritt Of the Republi
can State Committee has issued a
final bulletin for 23O of the 245 towns
of the state, giving a Republican
majority of 1884. The remaining
towns in 1894 gave a Republican ma
jority of l, 1O1, and with that majority
added, Mr.. Merritt finds majority
of 80, 900 for the head of the ticket.

A DeluSiOn.

Cyrus II. Mccormick, the well known
harvesting machine manufacturer of
Chicago, has declared himself against
free silver. He is Democrat. The
Company of which Mr.. Mccormick ID
President, has addressed q letter to each
one Of their agents, asking their views
on the money question. We are per-
mitted to print the letter addressed to the
Zimmerman Hardware of Dodge City.
A portion of the letter reads as follows:
We have never before been 80 at loss
to lay out our plans and work for the
next season as we are at this time. If
we felt sure the election would 90 for
sound money and reasonable protection,
We should push ahead with our manu-
featuring. We have had the largest
business of any year in our history; our
works are empty. 1t takes every hour of
our capacity to supply our trade. If we
thought the country would go for I'M
limited coinage of silver, we should not
wish to run our shops for more than one
half their capacity.
Mr.. McCormick's letter states:
The welfare of our country is to me of
higher interest than any personal tempo
rary gains. Unless the leading countries
of the world can agree on fixed relation
between gold and silver, am unaltera- |
bly, opposed to the free coinage of silver
by the United States. Ours is a great
country, but it is not great enough to
take the worlds supply of silver and coin
it unlimitedly, while older countries are
taking away and boarding our gold. In
my judgement, the present silver senti-
ment is a delusion, put forward for pCliti-
cal purposes and for individual personal
gain by few at the expense of the masses.
If national candidates should be elected
upon that basis, believe it would be the
greatest misfortune that has over taken |
our government in many years. have
been aud am still a Democrat, but can
not follow any party in the adoption of a
measure which firmly believe to be dis
astrous to the highest interests of the
Nation. Therefore, should vote for
in preference to free coinage
silver Democrat.

The Democratic party having
abandoned its own principles and
adopted the principles of the Popu
lists, and the Populists having
abandoned their own candidates
and adopted the Democratic can
didate, scores of Democrats will
abandon the Democratic party, be-
cause that party has abandoned its
principles-and scores of Populists
will abandon that party because it
has abandoned its leaders. When
the Democratic party abandoned its
leaders, and nominated Republican
for President, Horace Greedy, they
thought they would get the votes of
both parties and sweep the country
like cyclone. It did not work that
way. Any party that abandons its
principles or its leaders is doomed to
defeat.

Keep Quiet.

The news shows that violence of every
kind far from being smothered and abat-
ed, is aggravated by the extreme heat.
Burglars caught in the act do not fly, but
turn on these who have interrupted them
and battle savagely. Suicides, not con-
tent with seeking the quiet beyond in a
quiet fashion, rend themselves and rush
in agony through the gates of death.
Murderers do not kill speedily and hurry
away, but linger to wreak an insane fury
upon the corpses Of their victims. And
in acts of violence other than crimes the
same exaggerated activity appears. Argyll
ments hasten to fisticuffs, disputes are
followed by frantic fights. Nothing is
done in moderation. Yet never is there
a time, says the New York World, when
has such speedy and Ger
tain reward. Remain perfectly quiet,
without drink or speech or motion. aud
you will be delighted to note that the
has ceased to flow and the
bubbling temper has grown calm.

The delegations of people, repre-
senting societies, political organiza-
tions, workingmen's clubs, &C., in
bodies of dozens, hundred and thous-
ands. is something unprecedented in
political campaigning. The people
go to Mckinley. Never before have
the American people been aroused to
the condition and importance of a
political campaign. The very depths
of business houses, organizations,
societies, and every class of institu-
tons have become stirred, and the
manifestation of interest is unparal-
leled in American politics. Under
such conditions and circumstances
the result of the election cannot be
in doubt.

The New York Herald has made a
poll of voters in distinctively repre-
sentative election districts in the
three states-New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
While the returns indicate that q
small percentage of Republicans will
vote for Bryan, they also show that
any such detection will be more than
doubly compensated by Democratic
votes for Mckinley.
They provebeyond doubt that the
sentiment for Bryan which has been
alleged to exist among workingmen
and farmers has no existence in fact.
The logic Of the returns made in
dicates that there has been falling
off of II per cent in the Democratic
strength in New York State q re
suit Of the agitation for free silver, of
27per cent in New Jersey. and Of Is
per cent in Connecticut. Reduced to
figures this indicates that Mckinley

whelming najorities. In New York
State he win defeat Bryan BY from
$50, 900 to 200, 600 plurality. in New
Jersey BY Is 900 and in Connecticut.

EVERY old soldier should read Ex-
President Harrison's speech, deliver

and reported in the papers of Friday.

ton of constitutional rights by the
subversion of the authority of the
President and the prostitution of the
judicial power-a restoration Of states

eminent would result in Bryan's cleo

BEN HARRISON says he never de-
ceived the workingman. His maxims
are as good now as when he uttered
them during his Presidency. In
New York he made a grand and pa
triotic speech. It thrilled tho Ameri-
can heart in it's patriotic impulses.
On the finance his speech was sound.
He said something that ought to re-
sound throughout the land. He said:
I have resisted in many campaigns
this idea that a debased currency
could help the workingman. The
first dirty errand that dirty dollar
does is to cheat the workingman.
(Applause.)

If the people who are rushing pell
nell and tramping over each other in
their anxiety to see Bryan, were actu
ated by any other motive than curios-
ity, they would show some degree of
propriety, and behave in an orderly
manner. The intense and eager de-
sire to see Bryan, in a mob frenzy, is
prompted by feelings of curiosity.
In the ''enemy's country" Bryan is
as good as circus.

A SINGLE tax delegate was in Dodge
City last week, and spoke to an audi
ence on the street, afternoon and even
ing. There are some free silver ad-
vocates who would be willing to ex-
change few speeches on free silver
for bundle Of single tax arguments.
Before another month the free silver
discussion will not be paramount. :"
This speaker, however, gave the free
silver discussion rest-a much de-
sired rest.

There is probability of the electors of
Georgia being chosen by the Legislature.
The state constitution provides that the
electors shall be chosen by a majority of
all the votes cast, and in case of failure
the Legislature shall elect in joint assemb-
ly. There are four tickets in Georgia.
and the probability is that no one Of
them will receive a majority of all the
votes cast, and the Legislature may be
called in extra session to elect the cleo
tors.

Sam Jones says: 81 believe the crowd
running with Mckinley have the money,
the experience, and largely the brains of
the country on their side, while Bryan
and his hosts have oratory and theories
and debts and dissatisfaction on their

up Of the political situation, aud the peo-
pie as rule prefer money, experience,
and brains to oratory, theories, debts,
and dissatisfaction.

WHENEVER Bryan sees q crowd OF
people he wants to stop and make q
speech. He wants to stop and sug-
gest that the people locate mint.
If Mr.. Bryan could locate mint in
Dodge City the dollars would flow
where? But how many people would
mint employ? This country is not
a mining country, and hence a mint
is out of the question-hardly
emint julep."

An ardent free silver advocate in
Dodge City, who has talked about the

of the disease.

Mr.. Bryan has great deal to say about

1t is easy to understand why the rail-
road employees are almost unanimously
against free silver. They know that
their wages can not be increased to meet
the contemplated increase Of the cost OF
living, because in almost every State the
charges of the railroads are limited by
law, with constant tendency to reduc-
ton for the cheapening of the money In
which they are paid for their labor

Uniu.t 10 The PonnIf.t..

In quite a number of papers the
charge has been made that the agents OF
Mckinley and Mark Hanna are in St.
Louis with stacks of money TO be used
in buying populist delegates to prevent
the nomination or Endorsement Of Mr..
Bryan. During the Chicago convention
these same papers day after day declar-
ed that Mr.. Whitney had a vast corruption
fund to be used in preventing the conven-
ton from adopting free silver coinage.
The charge that Mark Hannas agents
are trying to buy the popullst delegates
is an insult to the delegates. just as the
charge that Mr.. Whitney was prepared to
use money to control the Chicago conven-
ton was an insult 10 the silver delegates
TO the democratic convention. No dele
gates 10 the democratic convention were
bought by Mr.. Whitney so far as anybody
knows, and we are satisfied that the popu-
list delegates are not accepting money to
do or not do any particular thing The
populist delegates appear and act as II
they were thoroughly in earnest, and they
would resent any attempt to influence
them by offers of money. No doubt those
who are opposing the nomination or in
dorsement Of Mr. Bryan are just as sin
cere as those who are favoring him. Those
who are inslnuating that there are popu-
lists who can be bought must have a pur-
pose in doing so. They certainly offer no
evidence of the truth OF their charge that
Mr.. Hanna's agents are offering money or
that any populist would accept it if it
were offered.

nominated for governor on a gold plat
form lie is a gold standard man. He
was also sent as delegate to the Chica-
90 convention. SO was Arthur sewau.

Of Mr. Bryan He voted 70 put Mr. Sew
all or the national committee as the rep
rcsentative Of Maine. but voted for him
when nominated for Vice President The
meeting in Augusta was called for the
purpose CT seeing what could be done to-
wards having harmonious campaign.
The silverites present declared that Mr..
Winslow should either abandon the state
platform. and declare for free silver coin
age and the national platform or resign as
the candidate for governor. The gold men
at the meeting we're in the majority. and
Mr. Winslow declined TO comply with
either demand Of the silverites There
was much spirited talking and a display
Of a great deal Of bitter feeling. The an
nounced love feast did not materialize. In
fact. there is not the slightest prospect Of
harmony between the gold and silver men
during the campaign. The silver demo-
Gratis declare they will not vote for AR.
Winslow for governor in September. and

crate" the railways and telegraphs in the

difference in being owned" and being
