How the state Papers stand.

There are six Democratic papers In
the state of which two swallow the
Chicago ticket and four bolt. The
two that stay in line are the Burlington
1ndependent and the Montpelier Ar
gus, and the four that bolt are the
Lyndon Union, Woodstock Age. Ben
nington Reformer and Brattleboro Re-
former. The Argus and Independent
place their support on the ground of
submission TO the will of the ma jority
and the Argus also argues that it is
only fair return to the west and
south for their loyalty TO the ticket.
The Union pays but little attention
to politics, being chiefly local paper
but Editor Chase is man of power
who aims straight when he fires at all.
and he is unequivocal in his declara
tlon against any Populist ticket. The
Age. which in the editorial hands of
Mr.. Dana is handled with good deal

"You will observe that those who arc
so quick to urge concentration OF all

either Republicans, who naturally seek
to swell their party ranks by such al
unexpected accession, or those Demo-
Gratis who. from sense of sheer outrage
and disgust, leap at conclusions, not

must have some abiding place. They

half is Tor sound money and the other
half for protection.
"Mr. Mckinley cannot compromise an
issue which he has made the corner
stone of his political belief. IL is true
chat the money issue, not the tariff
issue. is in the ascendant now, but there
must be logical consistency in all things,
and neither Mr.. Mckinley nor his party
can ignore tariff pledges without self
qualification.
''Hence 4 new Democratic convention,
with another Democratic ticket, and di-
rected by wise counsels, is the sole hope
of the Democratic future and would be
the one refuge for those Democrats who
have nowhere else to go.

The argument that we should bow
to the will of the majority is good
under ordinary circumstances, but Is
it good when GOOD Democratic doc

Free silver Republicans Declare for

An address was issued Tuesday,
signed by Senators Teller, Dubois. Man.
tie. Congressman Wilson and others of
the boilers from the Republican nation

free silver to unite in support of the
Bryan ticket. Ii argued:
The Democrats who believe IN the gold
standard are announcing their intention TO sup
port Mckinley or proposing to put third can
didate in the field for the avowed purpose of
aiding MIR. Mckinley's election. A great num-
Der of leading and influential Democratic Jour
nais have declared they will support the Repub.
lican nominees. IL is evident there Is TO be
union of forces on the part of the advocates and
supporters of the geld standard to elect Mr..
Mckinley and Congress favorable TO him
which will support the financial policy outlined
In the Republican platform.
ITO those who believe in bamerallism, which
means the equal treatment of both gold and
silver at the mints of the nation there Is but ono
course 10 pursue. Gold recommendation means
the shifting to gold alone as primary money all
the burdens of commerce and credit formerly
borne by gold and silver, and as the worlds
