Algerism In Vermont.

The Republican vote in Vermont on
Tunesdny was the smallest in thirty
years. 1t was abont 10000 smaller
than Gov. Woodbury's vote in 1894,
aud about 10000 smaller than the vote
for Mr.. Mckinley and for Gov. Gnout in
v1sO6.
The Democrats, although they reaf-
frmed the Chicago platform, polled
1000 more votes than they did in 1896,
when the Democratic vote reached it's
Ilow-wat mark.
The feeling against free silver was and
,still is very better in Vermont. Further
the Vermont Republican is the toughest
'of hnrd-shell parlisans.
Why then this great Republican defec
tion and this unexpected Democratic
gain? Where are the Republican gains
from Republican prestige in "winnine
the victories over ?''-New York

THE FRACTIONAL FIGHT

= WHITES GET ALL THE "PIE"
The Negroes Already Have Two
Independent Candidates for

cook Trying to Smooth
Over tho Troubles.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Chair III II II
gressman in charge OF things at cam
pnign headquarters here are still trying
to smooth over the troubles that have
broken out in the Virginia districts.
They admit, howev, T., that the prospect
is not very fiattering, owing to the fierce
factional fights that have been going on
ever since the administration commenct d
to distribute the federal offices.
In the Norfolk, Petersburg and Rich
mond districts each faction insists on
naming candidate, and, il the commit
tee cannot bring about harmony, it is
feared that Virginia will send to the seth
Congress solid Democratic delegation
OF ten.
Down in the Southwest section of the
state General Walker is said to be hav-
ing hard fight, and so is Hubbard, the
republican nominee in the Tenth district,
and ii they fail to be cleoted il is thought
that the patronage question and the OPP
position of the Republicans to the civil
service law will be responsible ior their
defeat
The negroes Of Virginia are also report
cd to be up in arms, because, MS they
nllege, the white Republicans get all the
pie" The negroes already have two
independent Republican candidates run
ming for Congress, separate conventions
having been held in those districts.

ON THE oL1NoH.
Fishing and Fun and Fiddles at
Gardner's.

When Mr.. v. L. Sexton proposed to
us on Tuesday that we take little
outing and try our luck fishing, we ac-
cepted, and gave ourselves up to Sex
toms direction, and accordingly took the
afternoon train for Gardner's thirty
miles down the Clinch. Sexton said
the bass were plentiful there, and look
ing out constantly for minnows. So
we went, full of hope. landing at Gard
ner's one hour late. A walk of two
miles (which seemed to us at least four)
took the starch out of linen collars and
gave us keen relish for supper. Mr..
IL. M. Barrett, who lives on the right
bank of the Clinch, as, you go down.
kindly gave us shelter for the might,
and right royalty did we fare. Mr..
Barrett is prosperous farmer and a
thoroughgoing Democrat, as are his four
or.five grown sons.
MIR. and Mrs. Barrett and the bows
know how to treat strangers. In fact
you don't feel that you are a stranger
after being in the house short time.
They make you feel that everything on
the place for the time being is ours.
Mrs. Barrett sized up her crowd, took
IN the situation, and prepared supper
ccordingly. 1t is needless to say that
we did justice to tho occasion.
After supper, with the satisfied, COM
placent feeling one has after good meal,
the evenings pleasure began. fiddle
and banjo were brought out, and the
boys went to work. Mr.. Sexton can do
other things besides fish and practice
law You ought to hear him on the
violin The boys played the old time
tunes, such as mississippi Sawyer
Soldiers JOY" "cood Old Dog"
Chicken in the Dough Tray" "'Old
Dan Tucker" ETC., until bed time.
Next morning we dropped our hooks
In the limpid waters of the Clinch and
Little Rivers, doing our best to entice
the gamey bass with lively minnows.
How many fish we took we will not
state, for fear some one might suspicion
us of not sticking closely to the truth.
On the whole the trip was pleasant
success.

MINERS MANGLED
By the Explosion at the Mt. Carmel
Mine


PITTSBURG, Kan, Jan. 9.-The bod
les of John Posing, Chas. Winters and
Anton Weimburger, the miners whom
it was last night thought were alive in
the Mount Carmel Coal Company
mine, were brought up at noon today
Neither Weimburger nor Winters
showed signs of having suffered any
violence and it is believed they were
smothered. Posing was horribly
burned and was almost unrecognizable
James Zimmerman, who was last night
reported as among the rescued, was
the last man taken out today. Although
badly burned, he will recover. Posing
was 20 years old and leaves a widow and
children. Winters, who was rs years
old, was the sole support of aged parents
Weimburger was single. The bodies
were removed to the company's store
An inquest was begun but adjourned till
tomorrow.
The mine is badly damaged. Although
the cause Of the explosion has not been
determined 1t is believed to have re-
suited from dust created by one of the
shots fired.
Number is the largest shaft of the
Mount Carmel company, and this win
ter 1t has been worked by three shifts
aggregating 300 miners.
