VERMONT CAMPAIGN.
THE STATE ELECTION TAKES
PLACE TODAY.
Each Party Has Its own Peculiar
Legacy to Embarrass 1t in Its
Work-Estimates Made of the
Outcome.

BURLINGTON, Vt, Aug. 31.-The
state campaign in Vermont is prac-
tically over. The last word will be
spoken in the rallies tonight, and on
Tuesday the first state election in the
north since the nomination of candi-
dates for president will occur. There
is no question what the result will be,
but the size of the Republican majority
will have all the value of the prover5ial
straw in the eyes of politicians. The
campaign just closed has been brief
but vigorous. The state nominations
We're made and the platform adopted
before the national convention. Each
has its own peculiar legacy from its
state convention to embarrass the cam
paign. The Republicans inherited the
scars and animosities Of the fight be-
tween Speaker Stickney and Represen-
tative circuit for the governorship. The
Democrats on their side have inherited
from the state convention a sound
money" plank and a sound money
candidate. Their delegates at Chicago
belonged to the hopeless minority and
many of them returned bitter in their
denunciation Of both the nominees and
the platform. Scores OF the best men
bolted. The result was sound
money convention, which chose dele
gates to Indianapolis and reaffirmed
the state platform.
Dr. Jackson, the Democratic nominee
for governor, was nominated ON
sound money" platform, but, al
though he sent word to the sound
money" convention at Bellows Falls
that he stood on the state platform and
no other, he is now stumping the state
for Bryan. He cannot poll the full
strength of his party and will attract
but few Republican and Populist votes.
Estimates vary widely as to what the
Republican majority will be. The di-
yiding line between Republican victory
q, 00G majority. For it to fall as low as
$4,000 or 10000 on Tuesday would GER
tainly alarm Mr.. Hanna. If the figures
stand at 10000 or 80, 900 Bryan's conclu-
sion that the east is Joined to its idols
and hopeless would be justified.
Here are some estimates of the Re-
publican majority by leading state
papers.
Burlington Press. $4,000; Bennington
Reforner, 10000 TO $4,000; Brattleboro
Reforuner, $4,000; Woodstock Standard.
100000 Mortified News, %, 900; ST. AL
bans Messenger, $4,000; St. Johnsbury
Caledonian, $4,000; Brandon Union, &c.
600; Poultney Journal 100000; Benning-
ton Banner, 81 600; Bellows Falls Times.
2S. 900.
Tuesdays election will be a fair test
of the silver and gold sentiment in this
state and an accurate forecast of the
vote on the presidential ticket.

were in superb form and their work
was about as equal as could be. Had

FORTUNE TELLING.

When on the grain was summers gold,
And blue was summers sky,
We went to have our fortunes told,
A Witching maid and l.
The gypsy sibyl seemed uncouth
And weird to look upon,
And yet for each of us, in sooth,
A merry tale she spun
Mine was a kindly horoscope;
l heard my birth above
Hand hung the happy star of hope,
The lambent star of love.
The star of love that bringeth bliss,
/ learned, still shed its glow,
Much more the sibyl said, but this
Was all 1 cared to know.
Then into Sylvia's slender hand
1 saw the gypsy peer.
And words l longed to understand
We're whispered in her ear;
While on her cheek a blush had birth
That spread in rosy fire,
AS when the winter Weakened earth
Feels springs divine desire.
We left behind the gypsy old,
And meath a dusky pine
Again was that fairy story told.
That ended, Sweet, be mine!"
Then Sylvia, the roguish eyed,
Laughed in her winning way;
That's what" triumphantly she cried,
1.-The gypsy said you'd sayn'
-HaTper'S Bazaar.

Denver and Rio Grande Suffers Rath-
err Severe Losses.
Especial to The Herald.)
PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 91-The storm
last night did vast damage to the Den
yer & Rio Grande track west of Can
yon City in the Royal Gorge, and 800
men are working night and day to
clear away the debris that is wedged
just above the great hanging bridge.
The great torrent that swept down the
gorge has left in one place for a thous-
and feet in length immense boulders
and logs that cover the track ten feet
in depth and so firmly wedged it must
all be blasted out The bridge is
moved two feet out of line and 100 feet
of masonry was torn away. Half
mile of track is gone in one place, and
smaller breaks occurred for several
miles. 1t will cost $4,000 to repair the
damage. Reports are that trains will
not be running through before Satur-
Gay night, but your correspondent will
say that Thursday will witness resump-
ton of traffic. Denver & Rio Grande
through trains are being run over the
Colorado Midland.
