Major CIRCUITS Opponents Desperate.

Advices from different parts OF the state
show that the candidacy of Maj. Josiah
Grout for governor continues to meet
with a gratifying response on the part of
the people. The more his personal char
acter Is studied and his. public services
reviewed the stronger becomes the popu-
lar demand that he be made the next gov
ernor of Vermont. That Maj. CIRCUITS
growth in popularity with the voters OF
the Green Mountain State is realized by
his political opponents. as we'll as appre-
oiated by his friends. Is evident from the
desperate tactics resorted to for the pur-
pose of attempting to discredt him with
the people. Mud machines have been
loaded to the muzzle by his few newspaper
enemies, but attempted fusilades OF this
character have invariably produced only
boomerang effects. Maj. Circuit stands
unscathod while his would-be traducers
find their weapons rendered useless and
themselves besmirched. Maj. Grout and
his friends, who might have met mud with
mud, have refrained from this sort of po-
litical warfare and have conducted the
canvass in a manner that has commended
itself to alt right thinking people. He has
shown himself to be man OF clean
methods and of strong character as we'll
as high minded gentleman.
The extraordinary activity and bitter
ness that have characterized the two chief
anti-Grout organs during the past two
weeks is undoubtedly due to their discov-
ery\of the marked inroads made by Major
Grout In territory stalted nut by them as
certain for their candidate. One county
in the south part of the State counted at
one time as against Major Grout will send
a large delegation for him, and this is the
more significant from the fact that the
chief strength Of his opponent was alleged
to be In that section of Vermont The
friends of Major Grout have therefore
every reason to expect his nomination by
an overwhelming majority.

Tany the Cleveland Administration and
E.ndoEso william z. Russell for Presi-

BOSTON. Mlsa., April 21.--wlth en-
thusiasm almost unsurpassing that
noted Of the recent state convention of
the Republicans Of Massachusetts when
Thomas B. Reed was endorsed as a
presidential candidate. the Democrats Of
this state to-day set their approval upon
Grover Cleveland as President and
named Ex-Governor William II. Russell
as their choice for the nomination to be
President Cleveland's successor
Hon. Thomas ]. Gragan, Of Boston,
was named as chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions and Hon. John 2.
Thayer, Of Worcester, was chosen per-
manent chairman.
During Mr. Thayers address, the Sc
verest criticism Of the American Pro-
tectlye Association was enthusiastically
applauded.
The four delegates at large elected
were Hon. John E. Russell. George F.
Williams, John W. Cochoran and James
w. DohoVon. The platform was then
presented and adopted
In opening, Grover Cleveland is con-
graduated upon the "hrmneas, ability
and wisdom" with which he has COM
Quoted his Office. Upon the subject Of
national finance, the platform dwells at
length declaring that the Republican
party controlled the finances OF our
country for a quarter Of century and
was responsible for the widespread dis
tress and disaster since 1898. and adds:
"The leaders OF this party have the
unpalIeled audacity to attribute the dis
tress and disaster to q Democratic ad-
ministratIon that had Just come into
power and had not changed a single law.
We protest against such party being
again entrusted with the administration
OF the government
believing that the true interests OF
the people require that the earningg OF
trade and the wages Of labor be paid in
money that is lntrlnsically worth In all
the markets of the world what It Is pur-
ports to be worth, we demand the main
tenance Of the existing gold standard OF
value, and that the government shall
keep all Its obligations at all times re-
deemable and payable In gold; and we
oppose the free coinage Of silver and any
further purchases Of silver bullion or the
coinage thereof on government ac-
count"
The platform concludes by refusing to
instruct the delegates to the national
convention. but recommending for the
presidency Ex-Governor William D.
Russell. After the election Of alter
MATES, the convention adjourned.

Thn n,moerntir pilemraa.

In line.with its reputation for blunder-
ing and ineapaclty the Democratic par
". through its leaders, is fixing up a
scheme to prevent trouble at the Chi
caso convention with the free silver els-
nent. which. 1t is acknowledged, win
have majority in that body. It Is an
other case OF the ass preparing to mas
querade in the lions livery.
1t would seem preposterous in any
other party but the Democracy that a
proposition like that Of Senator Harris,
Of Tennessee. should be seriously stated
with the object of foolins the voters Of
the country. However the Democratic
New York Times ascribes to Senator
Harris plan by which the convention
is to be divided, and the gold and silver
men each nominate ticket The candi-
dates are then 10 work their sections for
ali the several causes are worth. and
when the electoral colleges meet, the
gold and silver electors are to combine,
and gold man is to be chosen Presi-
dent and a silver man Vice President or,
vice versa.
What dream Of rainbow promise
But 1t goes to show what desperate
straits the party has come to. OF all the
colossal plumbers the Democracy has
committed this would be by far the
mos. monumental.
This proposition may appear on its
face 700 silly for belief by any sensible
person, but when taken in connection
Nth the utterances of Mr.. Chauneey F.
Black, OF Pennsylvania, at the Jefferson
celebration at Monticello last week 1t
appears likely to be given serious con-
alteration. Mr.. Black has always posed
as representative Of the conservative
element Of the Democratic party, but at
Monticello he proposed that It's candle
date nominated at Chicago, will not ex-
ereise the veto power on financial legis-
lation which may be sent to him. That
Is hlgh-mlnded and honorable states
manshIp with vengeance.
u Let these schemes be taken into con-
sIderatlon with the fact that the free
silverites under the unit rule confidently
count on twenty-three states and all the
territories in the Chicago convention.
That element will have a majority Of the
members of the convention, and Will
consequently be able to adopt a plank
committing the party to the free and UNI
llmited coinage Of silver. There IS the
dilemma the Democracy Is in.
But the question arises can they mus
ter enough strength to secure two
thirds vote, which is required under
Democratic rules for presidential
notnipation7 By some It Is believed
they. can. and If that state Of things
comes to pass the thinking voters Of the
country Will pause before casting their
lot with a party whose platform and
ticket stand for such principles.

some months. was present in the senate to-
day and took the prescribed oath.
Hale from the committee ol:naval affairs
reported back favorably the bill authorlz-
ing the secretary of the navy to increase
the number of enlisted men in the navy.
He directed attention to the Importance of
the bill, and gave notice he would call it
up at an early day.
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
The subject Of annexation of Hawai-
Islands was broached in the houae today
by Spalding (Rep.) of Michigan, in reso-
luton which provided the Sandwich
Islands be created into new state to be
called Hawaii, with republican form of
government to be adopted by the people
through deputies il convention. with the
consent of the existing government. The
conditions were proposed that questions of
boundary or complications with other gov
ernmen be transmitted to 'he pra
dent to be laid before congress for tinal
action before January /, 1898; that Ill
property per aiming to public defense be
ceded o he United tates, but the siate
retain all other property, and the United
States be liable for none OF its debts. The
resolu ion proposes as an al ernatiye Ha.
waii may be admitted as a state by treaties
between the two governments, with one
an appropriation of $1J0 1000 for making
the treaties. The resolution was referred
to the committee of foreign affairs.
REVENUE CUTTERS WANTED
Senator Cullom introduced two bills, one
for the construction of two Steam revenue
cutters for service on the Great lakes, and
on the Pacific coast. The cost of the Gu :
tiers for the lakes is limited to 100000
each and the others to $4cO,0O0 each. In
presenting the bills, Mr.. Cullom had read a
letter from Assis ant SECRETARY OF the
Treasury Hamin recommending the build
ing of such additional vessels.
PENsIuN APPROPRIATIONS
The subcommittee of the house appro.
priations committee, having charge OF the
pension bill, has decided to increase the
amount for the next fiscal year from 3S,-
100000 10 $140.O00,000, the amolnt
asked for by Commissioner Locbren in his
estimates. Some of the most influential
Republicans thought that congr, ~s should
MOI put itself on record as allowing less
money for pensions than the comms ssioner
thought was needed.
RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS.
The house committee on Pacific railroads
probably will give hearings to parties who
have an interest in the forthcoming plan
for settlement of the government debt.
Chairman Powers says that the hearings
will not begin before the 1st of Feb.
ruary and that the committee
will meantime devote it's attention
to investie ating past legislation on the
subject and the great amount of literature
that has been published. There will be
delegation from California here to oppose
any funding ill, of which ex- cngressinan
Gesry will be member, and this de ega-
ton, with Representatives of the roads and
stock and bondholders, will appear at Ihe
hearings.
