The presidential election Tuesday result
ed in triumphant victory for Mckinley
and sound money. The electoral votes of
every New England state, of all the East
ern states as far south as Maryland, of all
the great states of the middle West, OF
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, of
West Virginia and Kentucky, of Oregon,
and probably of South Dakota and Cali

Amidst the debris of the campaign Da-
vid b. Hill stands as probably the most
conspicuous example of a man who has
put himself in the back-number list, sim
ply because he didn't have the courage of
his own manhood when the crisis came
and opportunity stood waiting.

If William Mckinley follows the prece-
dent established by Lincoln, Garfield and
Harrison he will tender the post of secre-
tary of state to Thomas B. Reed. But
the country hopes that Mr.. Reed will re-
main in Congress. AS Speaker of the
House his work in guiding the action of
the Republican majority and carrying it to
a successful issue will be scarcely less i'm
portant and necessary than that of Presi-
dent Mckinley himself.

President Cleveland issued his Thanks

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-11-06

1t is glorious victory, and every man
and woman breathes easier because it has
been won. But the real thing to give
thanks for is that the honor and integrity
of the nation have been indicated, that the
spirit of anarchy and defiance of law has
been crushed, and that it has been proved
that the American people are still sound
at heart and can be depended on to rise to
an emergency when it is presented in a
way that challenges their honesty and their
respect for law and order.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-11-06

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who did yeo-
mans service on the stump for Mckinley
and sound money, confessed just before
election, it is said, that he was afraid
not that he thought Bryan had a chance
of election, "but still, am like the old
lady who declared that she didn't believe
in ghosts, but she was awfully afraid of
them" That was just the way with many
thousands of stout-hearted Republicans
and sound money Democrats. They had
assured confidence in McKinleys election,
but they would feel better when the votes
had really been cast and counted.

Bryanites console themselves by predict
ing career for their candidate because
of the phenomenal ability" which he has
developed during the campaign, but it will
be one of the surprises of the near future if
it does not prove that he has dropped out
of the public sight as completely as if he
had fallen through hole in the ice.

would be 100 miles shorter than any road

The weather conditions were most favor

Captain Tebeau sprained his back badly
while at the bat in the second inning,
