PRESS COMMENTS.
The Triumph in Vermont.

Vermont has started the tidal wave
that is going to ensulf the cause 81 an
archy and repudiatiOn.
That unexampled Republican ma
jority OF more than 10000 means that
all that has been said Of the weakness
and hopclessness Of the free silver pro-
paganda is true The farmers and the
wage earners OF the North will have
none Of it. They know thatcheap dollars
mean cheap men. They sea that the
Chicago platform threatens the hap
piness Of their homes as well as the
credit Of the nation.
They are not to be caught by the
arts Of shallow demagogues. The
blacksmith ana the ploWman have no
intention of becoming the poor dupes
If bonanza kings and political adven-
turers. Vermont Republicans are as
loyal and united as Of Ola. and thOus-
ands of Dcmocrats-all honor To them
have had the courage - put country
before party and help TO sweu this
mighty majority the news Of which
will bring cXultation to the friends of
sound money i'll every state in the re-
public
AS the first popular verdict on the
issues Of the campaign, this Vermont
election possesses extraordinary sig
nlticance which is heightened by the
extraordinary nature of the victory
There could he no more powerful slim
uius to drooping business. no better
steadier Of public confidence than this
demonstration to the country and the
world of the Intelligence, the firm bal
ance and the Keen moral perceptions

Dealers in campaign flags are not
expecting to reap much of a harvest
out of the political enthusiasm in
Massachusetts. The general impress
sion that the national law, passed q
few years ago to prevent the use of the
national colorS for advertising pur-
loses. applied to putting the names of
candidates upon the flag having been
found to be erroneous it was then dis
covered that there is a real obstacle in
the way. The last state legislature
passed 4 law that campaign flags
should not be suspended above street
without special permission, but
neglected. to say who had authority to
grant such special permission.

lions Herald of this week publishes
the subject: THE present unusual
Presidential campaign; what part shall
the minister of the Gospel take in it?"
AS might be expected different views
are entertained and in the opinions
published each is supported we'll with
reason and argument. The concensus
of opinion is that this is not only an
unusual campaign but that it is one,
which if it be properly disposed of,
must be intclligcntly considered and
from high moral standpoint The
symposium will be found helpful we
think, both by pastors and by their
people, who are likely to crtcise them
whatever may be their attitude 1t is
very obvious that much must be left
to the discretion of the minister and
that if he does attempt to deal with the
politics of the question in other than
somewhat general way touching upon
questions of national and individual
morality involved, it bchooves him to
first study the question thoroughly
Otherwise he is likely to strengthen
the convictions of those opposed to his
views. 1t is noticeable that nearly all
the clergymen who have spoken CON
corning the crisis have pointed out the
dishonesty of reputation. We do not
see how they can well do less

One of our Somerset county cores
pondents writes that up his way they
think it one of the most amusing in
constituencies of the Democratic press
that they protest so loudly against be-
ing called anarchists and reputation
lists. and yet in almost the same breath
they heap upon their adversaries every
epithet their ingenuity can devise. In
q single issue of one of the leading
Somerset Democratic papers, the fol-
lowing epithets are bestowed upon the
bankers and brokers of Wall street
viz: Gold bugs, monopolists, bosses,
Shylocks. sharks, pirates, bandits. rob-
bers, tories, traitors, vandals, vampires
and bunco steerers, while the advocates
of the gold standard are denounced as
fools slaves, towards, etc. Comment

Many of our readers doubtless recall

expression Of the London Financial

that publication cabled the following
denial to this country: NO such ar
ticle was ever printed by us, and its
whole tenor is directly opposed to the
views We have taken of free silver in
the United States. So far from advo-
eating free silver coinage, we have per-
Sistently pointed out that it spells re-
pudiation and the withdrawal of all
European capital" Despite this the
Democratic press and campaign com
mittees are still circulating the false
hood, and not one of them. that we
have seen, has had the decency to
publish a correction. OF such worse
than worthless material is the Popo-
cratic campaign literature made up
