Vermont's Representation In the Ma.

EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
perusal of the recent newspaper lit.

in which considerable space is devoted to
the possible make up" of the Vermont
delegation to the national republican
convention of 1896, is interesting not
only as showing the distance to which
some coming events cast their shadows
BEFORE" but also because attention is
called to the prominence and weight OF
influence hitherto accorded the State at
national conventions on account of the
commanding ability and representative
character gifts delegates, and it would
seem to SAVIOR of a lower order of politi-
cal wisdom to depart from the rule OF

satisfactory results, therefore let Yer.

IL is true that there are no absolutely
sure things in politics. The unexpected
is always possible. that is to say, and
unforeseen causes frequently intervene
TO change the whole aspect OF things.
There is no reason. however, to suppose
that anything will happen between now
and next November To transfer the exist
ing advantage of the Republicans to the
Democrats. As the matter now stands,
the result Of the election OF 1896 is al
most foregone conclusion. The Repub-
heans are reasonably certain to carry
every Northern State, and probably three
or four Southern ones. There is decided
DRIFT against the Democratic party on
general principles all over the country,
and from present appearances it will
have hard work to maintain its ascend
.ancy even in States where it has hereto
fore had things all its own way. The
same forces which brought the Republic
can triumphs of last year to pass will be
in operation this year, and it is not to be
thought that they will be any less for
midable and effective. There is vague
chance, to be sure. that the Republicans
in Congress may do something during the
session to injure the present splendid
prospects of their party; but, on the
other hand, it is far more likely that
laundering will be done by the Democrats.
In short, so far as anything can be sure
that has not yet actually occurred, Presi-
dent Cleveland's successor is sure to be a
Republican.
