The opposition press found cause for Ella
ton in the election in Vermont and still
more in the election in Maine on Monday.
The great falling off in the Democratic vote
in Arkansas has not attracted the atten-
ton of the Democratic editor. For the first
time since 1877 the Republicans of Maine
made no campaign Every election year
since that date a most active speaking cam
paign has been carried on. In September
1881. the fusion candidate for Governor was
elected by a small plurality. and two of the
four representatives were of that party. In
1894 the Democratic party in Maine went 10
pieces, and in 1896 its breakup was more de-
cided This year there has not been Re
publican meeting in Maine. In Speaker
Reeds district, where the loss of the Re-
publicans is heaviest, the Democratic can
didate for Congress spoke in every part of
the district. He opposed free silver coinage
at the ratio of 1e to in his speeches. but
advocated the making of a ratio by a Dem
ocratic Congress. He assailed the tariff and
posed as friend of the soldier. This active
canvass upon anti-Bryan platform
brought out a fair Democratic vote in Mr.
Reeds district AS 1t is. the Democrats did
not elect one of the thirty-one senator's and
only twenty of The 151 representatives con-
stituting the Legislature. 1t does not APP
pear that they have elected county OFF,

The one thing certain in the Philippines
question is that the United States, having
captured and taken possession of the bay
and city of Manila and its suburbs. will not
withdraw from this part of the territory.
If that necessitates possession and control

quences. TO withdraw from Manila. which

PRAISE FOR WHEELER.
Il am greatly indebted to General Wheel
err who, as previously stated, returned from
the sick list to duty during the afternoon.
His cheerfulness and aggressiveness made
itself felt on this part of the battlefield and
the information he furnished to me at
various stages of the battle proved to be
most useful.
MY own health was impaired by over
exertion in the sun and intense heat of the
day before, which prevented me from par
ticipating as actively in the battle as / de-
sired, but from a high hill near my head
quarters | had a general view of the bat
tlefield, extending from FL Caney on the
right TO the left of our lines on San Juan
hill
General Shafter follows in detail the
movements of the troops and the intrench-
ing done during the night. He says: Gen.
Dufheld, with the Thrty-third Michigan,
unable to accomplish more than to detain
the Spaniards in that vicinity. On
the night OF July l, ! ordered General Duff

ty-fourth Michigan and the Ninth Massa-
chusetts, both of which had just arrived
reached the front the next morning. :
''All day. on the ID the battle ragged with
more or less fury, but such of our troops
as were in position at daylight held their
ground and Lawton gained strong and
commanding position on the right. About
10 .. n. the enemy made a vigorous assault
to break through my lines. but he was re-
pulsed at all points. On the morning of the
Sd the battle was renewed but the enemy
seemed TO have expended his energy in the
assault of the previous night. and the FIR
ing along the lines was desultory until
stopped by my sending the following letter
within the Spanish lines"
General Shafter then gives the dis
patches passing between him and General
Toral, already published. He proceeds: Il
of the opinion that the Spaniards
would surrender if given a little time. and
| thought this result would be hastened If
the men of their army could be made to
understand they would be well treated as
prisoners of war. Acting upon this pre-

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.

One of the newspapers which falls in the
list known as yellow declares with empha-
sis that the United States must not under
take to assert power in the Philippines
should the remarkable person known as
Aguinaldo object. He, says the paper al
luded to- represents the revolt against Spain
and he represents the movement in favor of
popular government; at his suggestion the
United States must quit. If Aguinaldo does
not want the islands with their millions of
population, the United States is in duty
bound 10 take them and keep them out of
the hands of Spain. If ne does want them,
the United States must drive Spain out and
turn the islands over to him. This pro-
gramme makes very much Of a man of the
upstart who agreed not to be IN insurgent
if he were paid a given sum, but became
a patriot when the Spanish officials paid
him only a small part of his BRIDE
What shall be done with the Philippines
is an unsettled question. 1t is likely to be
the subject of much consideration. But,
whatever comes it is not likely that any
considerable number of people will think
that Aguinaldo should be made ruler over
them. One of the reasons for our holding
the islands is that it is duty to establish
decent government there and to prevent Eu-
ropean countries from getting into squab-
BILE over them. To turn them over to
Aguinaldo would be to make matters worse
than they now are. If he should not sell
the islands to the first nation offering TO
purchase. he would bring misrule, turbu-
lence and series of instructions by ma
tives as vain and ambitious as he is.
There is not the slightest possibility that
anything of the kind will be done. Europe
would cry out against 1t and denounce us
for turning over the islands to anarchy.
Nevertheless the proposition shows the
freakish disposition of portion of the press
and how unworthy these papers are of the
confidence of thoughtful people.
