Col. Haslslns for speaker.

Col. Kittredge Haskins, who was elected
to the legislature Tuesday by the largest
vote and the largest majority even given to
Brattleboro representative, will be a can
didate for the speakership of the house.
In the interval since his nomination by the
Brattleboro Republicans many expressions
of desire to see him chosen to the speaker
ship have come to Col. Haskins from diff
ferent parts of the state, and there is no
doubt that his candidacy will meet with
general approval and good will. He will
have the united support of the Windham
county delegation without question.
Col. Haskins represented Brattleboro in
the legislature of 1872, and was a senator
from this county in 1892. He has there
fore had ample legislative experience to
qualify him for the speakership. He would
have the advantage of an unusually wide
personal acquaintance in the state. Prob
ably no other member will know person
ally so many of his fellow-members. More
than this he has a natural taste for public
affairs and his interest in them has been

judgment and possesses the courage of his
convictions. He has the ability and the
dignity to make a model presiding officer,
and friends in this and all other parts of
the state will hope cordially for his cleo
tion. The fact that Col. Haskins is one of
the few remaining old soldiers whom the
Vermont legislature will ever have a chance
to elevate to the speakership will not de-
tract from his candidacy, though it will not
be urged as factor in his canvass.
Other prominent candidates for the
speakership are w. A. Lord of Montpelier
and Geo. NJ. Powers of Morrisville.

New Hampshire Democrats.

The New Hampshire Democrats made
show of themselves in their state conven-
tion Wednesday. The majority hissed the
name of President Cleveland and voted
down a resolution indorsing his admins
taation. They not only approved the Chi
cago platform, but they laid down the
slavish principle that whatever the major
ity of a national convention may do, its
action is binding on every member of the
party. Henry o. Kent was again nomin-
ated for governor. The gold Democrats
will hold convention and nominate a
ticket.

more than another has reason to regard the
result of Tuesdays election with profound

which has had scarcely an equal. Yer

voters have realized its importance and
acted accordingly. The men who have
voted for GTout have understood perfectly
that they were voting for Mckinley; and
the magnificent result is Vermonts verdict

anarchy and in favor of sound money, pro-

George Fred Williams, the self-appoint-
ed Massachusetts apostle of free silver,
whose conversion at Chicago was more
sudden and remarkable POLITICALLY speak
ing) than St. Paul's, made campaign
speech at Newport in August. It's theme
was the disaster which gold monometal-
lism has brought to the Vermont farmers.
Newport is the county seat of Orleans
county. In Tuesdays election the total
Democratic vote of the county was j03.
Four years ago it was s43. AS vote
maker George Fred is evidently running
mate for Rollin Childs.

In answer to a telegram from E. Crosby
& Co., announcing the result of the Ver-
mont election, the Washburn. Crosby com
pany, leading flour millers of Minneapolis,
sent this message:
Minnesota will declare for gold standard by
1000 Republican majority in November, and the
entire Northwest will be solid for sound money.
Free silver is busted"
On Wednesday B. d. Harris received
from Jerseyville, ILL.,, this message:
"Glorious 10000 Accept heartfelt thanks
WALLACE LEIGH AND o1HER REPCBL1CASs.N
This is prominent concern which Mr..
Harris formerly knew, but with whom he
has had no correspondence for years. He
answered.
Vermont sends 10000 greetings for honesty
and protection
These messages are samples of many
which have been received since Tuesday.
They show the intense interest felt in our
election and the importance attached to its
result They also show the confidence
which the Vermont result gives that the
free-silver heresy is hopelessly crushed.
One can be sure that Mr.. Bryan had a
''cold chill'' in the small hours of Wednes-
day morning.

Since Tuesdays votes were counted it is
safe to venture one little prediction to Will

president of the United States for the first
fteen minutes after he finished his "crown
of thorns and cross of gold' speech at
Chicago that he ever will be in the course
of his natural life

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1896.


In round numbers the Republican vote
polled on Tuesday was larger by 5000 than
was ever cast in the state before and the
plurality is increased by 10000 over any
ever before given. This is Vermonts an
swer to the challenge thrown down at Chi
cago. The interesting thing for Mr.. Bryan
is the number of sound money Democratic
votes that helped to swell this chorus.

"unlimited means" were used to influence
the result has no foundation in fact All
that the people of Vermont wanted was a
chance to get to the polls, and when the
chance came on Tuesday they made the
most of it,,

What do I think? Well, 1 think this
as il is in Vermont so will it be every
where-tl1at the Democratic losses will run
in the same increasing scale as in Vermont
that the percentage of losses will be

There were three prime factors in Tues
days magnificent result. In the first place
there was not a taint of free silver among
the Vermont Republicans and all they want
ed was to have election day come so that
they could say so. In the next place some
thousands Of loyal self-respecting Demo
Gratis who owned themselves and their
convictions, voted for Grout as their only
way Of helping to assure the defeat Of
Bryan in November. In the third place
Oln Merrill, at the head of the Repub-
lican state committee, organized the most
careful and systematic canvas which Yer
mont has ever seen, with the result that
t he voters were brought to the polls surely
and promptly, and the sentiment of the
state was given full expression. For his
share in organizing this victory Mr.. Mer-
rill is entitled to cordial and generous rec
ognition. And the good work of the state
committee member in each county, and of
the town committees, in supporting and
furthering his work is not to be overlooked
or forgotten.

Let These Figures AIone---They are
Loaded!
From the Boston Transcript.

FIom the Boston transcript
The free silverites are trying to break
the force of the blow in Vermont by say
ing that after all the Republican vote was
not much larger than usual. The election
in Vermont in 1894 was deemed landslide
and Gov. Woodbury. received 42,G63 votes.
Major CIRCUITS total vote is 53,076 or 10,-
Alb more than Gov. Woodbury. received.
DR.. Jackson, the Democratic candidate,
received 1888 votes Tuesday. Smith, the
Democratic candidate in 1894, got IA, 142.
The largest Republican vote cast in Yer
mont previous to Tuesday was that given
for governor in 1888, 4S,j22. Vermont's
largest Democratic vote was in 1876, when
Tilden got 20, $50. Major Grout plurality
alone is larger than the entire Harrison
vote of Vermont in 1892, which was 81, ,002.
Free silverites should leave the Vermont
figures alone; they are loaded.

Friction Caused By Burden

City of Mexico. July IS.-
Many of the states, which had
not anticipated by legislation
the need of providing revenue
when the interstate taxes
should be formally declared
unconstitutional, are now
laundering in a sea of troubles
and are enacting burdensome
and unscientihc tax laws which
bear hard on trade.
Mexican statesmen regard
this confusion as due to en-
barrassment of local govern
ments and lack of competent
men to frame fiscal legislation.
Its believed that within a short
period these obnoxious laws
will be repealed and wiser me-
thods prevail.
Some large states, ike Jalis-
co and Puebla, which got rid
of interstate custom houses
long ago, are entirely tranquil,
requiring no new taxes and
their methods are likely to
become examples for all the
rest.

What IS Good housekeeping.

The best definition Of good house
keeping that ever heard was that
given by a little slip Of boy who, az
ter listening for a long time to very
learned discussion from some Of his
mothers club associates on the best
wav to order home, was asked {;
"Well, my little man, what kind Of a
home do you think is best?' 4 beau
tiful light came TO the ehilds eyes.
He tossed back his yellow hair and
shook his head Il don't know much
about it. Just the only kind that l
ike is the home that It's nice to 60 to.
And when all the philosophy, theory,
science and wisdom Of the subject had
been exhausted, the women there as
sembled had to agree that the very
best home, after all, was the home
that-it was nice to 90 to.

Grants Lesson to a Sentry.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant" in the Century,
relates an anecdote telling how Gen
eral Grant aided drover in turning
his cattle. General Porter adds: He
knew, Of course, that the man did not
recognize him. If he had supposed
the man was lacking in proper military
respect, he would perhaps have ad-
ministered to him the same lesson
which he once taught soldier IN the
Twentv-First Illinois, when he com
manded the regiment. An officer who
had served under him at the time told
me that Colonel Grant, as he came out
of his tent one morning, found a strap
ping big fellow posted as sentinel, who
nodded his head good-naturedly, smiled
blandly, and said, "Howdy, colonel? ?
His commander cried, Hand me your
piece, and upon taking it, faced the
soldier and came to a present arms
then handing back the musket, he re-
marked, That Is the way to say How
do YOU do to your colonel.
