WE congratulate John J. Lentz
on his return to congress, and we
congratulate Fairfield county on
making such possible for him, but
there is coming time about two
years hence when a certain Fair
field giant whose name they call
M. A. Daugherty, that will secure
that nomination and election, or
know the reason why. 1t is
certainly Fairfield's turn and she
must have it in all right and justice.
Mike Daugherty is the man, and a
greater political giant does not live
In these parts.

WE UNDERSTAND that Daddy
Wallace got real angry at us for
the joke we told on him about the
pork barrel, that was going the
rounds among the boys at Hayden.
vile. Well, now Daddy must learn
TO take cOolly the mild jokes among
the boys. We were furnished with
some campaign thunder concerning
Daddy that was hair raiser, but
refrained from using such as long
ss his republican newspaper con-
fined itself tOa decent campaign,
and he can just thank the Journal
Gazette for not opening up the
Jackpot, for II they had we would
have made Daddy think the old
Mefesto himself had cut loose on
him. We feel that all the news

campaign, and no candidate should
get angry at the little jokes among
the boys.

MORE credit is due the Demo-
cratic committee and political
fighters, in the fact that they went
up against buzz saw in the person
of ]. r. Smith, chairman of the Re-
publican committee. He was the
personal choice of Grosvenor to
take the reigns of this county, and
no better manager could the old
Congressman have chosen. Smith
is fighter and made it more in
teresting for the Democratic party
this fall than perhaps any other
man of his party in Hooking could
have done. We feel more like re-
joicing over a victory In which
contest there is something to fight,
and we certainly had such this fall.

made and never will make hotter

were defeated in Hooking at the
late election other than Voris, are
making a holy kick on the way the

ONE very fortunate feature in
our county settling back to her old

A Look Forward.

Perhaps never before in the his
tory OF Hooking county has the
Democratic party won such de-
cisive victory against such odds as
was won this iall. Every time
Congressman GrosveDor comes up
for reelection there is sure to be a
barrel of Doodle dropped into the
county, and unfortunate as it may
seem, money always talks. This
was an off year for democracy. The
republicans held their party pretty
well in line by the howl for support
of the administration, while the
democrats based their campaign
upon democratic principles and re-
publican misrule. The republicans
got their vote out because they had
the money to pull them out. The
democratic committee had no
money and positively could not
furnish transportation to their out
of county voters, who were away
working. The result was clean
cut evidence that this county is
permanently democratic. From
now on We open up the campaign
for next fall. The candidates for
next year are all out for a second
term and they are of the stalwarts
OF our county. At the conventions
and county primaries there will be
no contest. They will all come up
without opposition and sweep the
county from red brush to center.
Judge Wright for a second term
for Judge, M. S. Cox for Repre-.
sentative, Chas. F. Brandt for
Sheriff, d. M. O'Hare for clerk of
courts, George Jacoby for COM
missioner, j. B. Riason for probate
judge, E. o. Petit for prosecutor,
and James Davis for surveyor.
The election will be a
gubernatorial contest, and the vote
will be gotten out, and this excell-
ent corps of officers that swung in
with majorities ranging from 400 to
700 three years ago, will swing in
with from 700 to 1900 next fall.
The campaign will now open with
every Democrat in the county eager
for the coming victory. They are
standing shoulder to shoulder, with
no discussions, no alterations, no
embarassments. They will stamp
out any who seek to cause discen.
sion, and push on and up to the
glorious victory that awaits them.
The snake in the grass may hiss out
its infesting poison, but the great
heel of right and of true democracy,
will crush its venom head and the
squirming tail will die at sunset.
The list of strong second term can
didates will lead on in their mighty
strength and push forward the
principles Of the people. The
DEMOCRAT will be found in the
front ranks leading on, instead of
following. We never have sheath
ed our sword. 1t is drawn and up.
lifted against the common enemy,
against plutocracy, against Hanna

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

The Senate did not insist on it's
amendment making the fish hatchery
appropriation $4,000, and it will stand
at $500 as fixed by the House.
The Senate killed the governors
amended taxation bill by a vote of 10
to 10.
The agitation over the attempted
removal Of the shire town of Essex
county from GuildhaIl to Island Pond
resulted in the death of the bill in the
House Wednesday afternoon by vote
of 54 to y.
Wednesday afternoon Gov. Smith
received from T. S. Peck his resigna
ton of the Office of Adjutant and In
spector General, to take effect as soon
as ne can arrange the business Of the
office. Now let US have peace.
A very pretty and thoroughly de-
served compliment was that contain
ed in the resolution presented by Mr..
Dickey last evening relating to the
speaker, The resolution will be found
in the official report. Mr.. Haskins
has made model speaker, impartial,
clear headed, fair and always honor
able, and is well deserving of the unit
ed and unanimous good will of the
House.
A most happy and pleasing incident
of the Senate proceedings was the
presentation by the Senators through
Mr. Cudworth of an elegant diamond
stud to Lieut.. Gov. Bates. The latter
was so taken by surprise that he could
not find suitable words at the time in
which to express his gratitude, but
promised to be heard from later. AS
a matter of fact, Lieut.. Gov. Bates has
made one of the fair est and most sat-
isfactory presiding officers of the SEN
ate who has occupied the chair, and
throughout has made a most credit
able record. No tribute of respect or
appreciation whichthe people of Ver-
mont can bestow upon him will be un
deserved,

There is no uneasiness in admins
tration circles abont the ratification
of the treaty of peace by the Senate,
altho ugh several republican senators
and a number of democratic senators
are talking against ratification. The
only thing that the opposition can do
is to delay ratification by preventing
a vote at the coming session. 1t would
be better of course, that the treaty
should be promptly ratified, but mas
much as we shall have everything in
our own hands, and as there is no in
tention to govern the newly acquired
territory in any other way except by
military rule, for at least a year, the
delay will make no material differ
ence, even if it extends to the end of
the coming session of Congress. The
president can easily call an extra ses
sion the senate, which will be strong
ly republican after the fourth of next
March, to ratify the treaty, and he
can be sure that it will be speedily
done

The terrible wind and snow storm
which ragged along the coast of the New
England states Nov. 26th was one Of
the worst that ever visited that sec
ton, schooners and fishing smacks
were blown out to sea and in many
cases dashed against the rocks and
demolished, and many of the large
steamers dared not venture out from
port so terrible was the gale. The
most appalling wreck of all is that of
the steamer Portland, which runs be
tween Boston and Portland. This is
a steamer of over 1000 tons and it is
reported that the captain left the Bos-
ton harbor against the orders of his
superiors but he thought his gallant
We ssel could weather the storm and
attempted to make the trip. just the
cause of the wreck will never be
known but it is thought that the ter
rible strain upon the vessel caused the
machinery to give out in some way
so that it became unmanageable and
drifted with the waves for it was
thrown over forty miles in an opposite
direction from its regular course and
finally went to pieces off the coast of
Cape Cod. It is thought that there
were about $50 passengers on board
the boat and not one of them was
saved. The total loss of life from the
storm along the coast will reach at
least 200 and perhaps more.
