4 NEW YORK, Sept. s, 1895.
The p phenominal vote and the grea
Republican victory in Vermont ha
made everybody happy at the Republi
can headquarters in this city.
| This glorious triumph is not only al
emphatic Endorsement of McKinley
and Hobart and the st. Louis platform
but is significant in the. fact that it pro
claims with no uncertain sound thai
the principles of sound money and pro
lection shall prevail.
The figures of this election, the frs
gun fired in this great political battle,
are astounding and exceed the mos
hopeful expectations of the Republic
I can leaders.
Although State election for State
officers, the contest was fought on ma.
tional issues and was battle royal be.
tween the supporters of sound money
and the adherents of free silver.
The result is positive evidence that
the farmers and workingmen of the
Green Mountain State were not de-
ceived by the delusive arguments oi
the free silver advocates, and not only
has it buried out of sight forever in
Vermont the popocratic candidate for
Governor, DIR. j. Henry jackson, but
the Chicago platform and its candidate
William Jennings Bryan.
GREATEST MAJORITY EVER GIVEN.
This is the greatest majority ever
given a Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in the State Of Vermont, and
shows phenominal gains and marked
Democratic losses, especially in the
rural districts.
The next Senate of Vermont will be
solidly Republican, every one of thirty
members belonging to that party, and
out of membership of 245 in the
House 200 will be Republican. The
Republicans owe this victory not only
to vigorous campaign, the most Wig
orous ever conducted In that State,
but to the Jealous support of many
good sound money Democrats, who
placed patriot ism. fealty and country
above party.
SEN. REDFIELD PROCTOR A PROPHET.
Senator Red6eld Proctor, of Yer
mont, expressed the hope and predic-
tion in this city some days ago that his
State would give $4,000 plurality for
sound money and protection, and be
has proved himself a true prophet.
Senator Proctor was at the national
headquarters in this city the morning
after the Vermont election and re-
ceived hearty congratulations from Mr..
Mark Hanna, chairman of the National
Committee, and his associates, Gen.
Powell Clayton, Gen. Osborne and N.
B. Scott, and many others over the
splendid result. In an interview Sem
ator Proctor said: The result came
after full, candid, fair discussion of
the issues before the people. The
strength Of the silver sentiment was
an unknown quality, but from the day
the discussion was fairly opened to the
day of the election there was steady
accession to our ranks Of those who
had temporarily wandered away.
"Of the Republicans among labor
ing men and farmers who had become
infected with the silver craze, almost
all came back to the fold, and / doubt
If there we're 300 voters cast by Re
publicans.in in the entire State for the
Democratic ticket on account of silver.
Then, too, we had aslargs accession from
the sound money Democrats, who were
entitled to great credit for their pa
triotic action in breaking away from
their party organization for what they
believed to be the best good of their
country.n
THE LANDSLIDE COMMENCED.
Bit the splendid returns told the |
story. Vermont has sent her greetings |
to her sister State in ringing words,
and has beaten all her former records,
in war or peace.
The November landslide has com- |
menced, and the first shot fired in YER
mont on September 2 has been heard
around the world.
This, the first glorious victory for
sound money, should inspire the sup
porters of Mckinley and Hobart
throughout the country with new life,
and from this time on, with victory in
the air, every voterwho prefers . dol
lar worth 100 cents to q dollar worth |
50 cents should buckle on the armor |
and work without ceasing until the
polls Close November 8.
