A great deal OF Grout literature
has been spread over the state the
past week or two Windsor county
being especially favored in this re-
spect. Reads supporters have not
been so active in this way it is also
stated that he has no one working
for him under pay. The forces of
the present congressman are IN ex-
cellent working order and to the
we'll organized body Of lieutenantts
that has pulled him through, usually
without much fuss, he doubtless
looks to save him this time. If he
pulls through, Mr.. Grout can per-
haps thank the present crisis, as,
wisel y or not, a great MANY conserv-
ative citizens are of the opinion that
no change should be made at this
time. 1t is their one argument;
MIR. CIRCUITS "experience" offsets the
all the talent that could be mustered
against HIM in dozen campaigns.
a Brattleboro correspondent says
of the political situation:
"Thc three prominent candidates
for state treasurer are: Messrs
Bracket of Brattleboro, Bacon of
White River Junction and Burgess
of Burlington. Brackets support
ers, IN the event of the defeat of
both Holton and Read, will strongly
urge the locality claim, and in this
they are bound to have the sympathy
of other counties unless Read should
beat Grout, which old campaigners
say is quite impossible, but in the
event of the success of either Holton
or Read, it is not likely that the con-
vcntion would allow Windham
county further favors. 1t would
seem that Brackets success depends
upon Reads and Holton's defeat"
"The democrats are pretty sure to
nominate Rutlands young attorney,
r. w. NIaloncy, who will command
the solid support OF his party, and
should the campaign be enlivened
with an active prohibition issue, he
would draw perhaps from the re-
publican ranks"

Straight shooting won the fight at
Manila, not a proponderance of
ships and guns. One Of the engi-
neers of the Baltimore IN writing
home makes the statement that, in
his opinion, chad we manned the
Spanish ships and had the Spaniards
manned our fleet, the American side
would have been as victorious as it
was"
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1898-06-18

A London cable states that there
is hopeful feeling in di plomatic
and financial circles that the Span
ish- American war will not last long,
in spite of the Spanish cabinets
stern resolve to fight to the bitter
end. The military and naval forces
have not shown any sign of fighting
power and the speedy collapse of
Spanish rule in Cuba and the Philip
pines is looked for in every Euro
pcan capital except Paris and Ma
drid. Senior Merino, private sccre-
tary of Premier Sagasta, is quoted
in Tuesdays dispatches as saying
that "the Spanish government will
now accept any peace proposition
submitted, on the express condition
that it does not emanate from the
enemy"

back to the old party or have bodily
gone over to the democrats. The pop
ulists claim that the silver republic
ans of two years ago We're members
of their party and that as such they
ar now entitled to two places on the
state ticket. They will probably de
mand the lieutenant govenorship and
the office Ct secretary of state, They
have not brought out any candidates
as yet these places, and it is not
likely that they will bring any out
until the delegates of the party get
together tomorrow and determine of
ficially whether they will fuse or not.
The indifferent way in which some
OF the democrats are treating them is
not at all pleasing t. the popu lists,
They want to know whore they are at
in the party. Two years ago they
sacrificed their party existence in or
der 10 help their democratic al
lies. They were kept off the official
ballot last spring and so far as the
law of Wisconsin goes the party has
70 official existence. If they do not
fuse with the democrats now 1t will
be necessary for them to get on the
ticket by petition, and they are won
dering what consideration they will
receive because of what they are
pleased II term their sacrifice ( +
principle. There is no doubt but that
there Is a disposition among a large
number Of democrats To totally ig-
rore the populists, II not to cut loosa
entirely from them. So
The desire of the silverites on the
platform will be aeceded to, as ough
of the unit es which have elected
delegates to the state convention have
passed resolutions indcrsing the Chi
cago platform and there does not seem
10 BE- any way ia which the conyen-
on can avoid a declaration on the
money question, much, as some of the
managers of the party would desire 1t.

slight lead in the. race for the guber-
Material nomination. His closest com
petitor perhaps is Attorney T. e.
Ryan of Waukesha. However, W.
II. Rogers Of Madison has many ele-
ments of strength; this fact will be
especially noticeable if the conyen-
ton reaflirms the Chicago platform
which it will doubtless do,
James NJ. Clancy of Stoughton,
former assistant attorney general dur
ing the Peck administration is can
didate for the nomination for attor-
ney general But he says he will
make no contest in the convention for
the place. If Clancy is not nominated
il is expected that Peer O. Stromme,
editor of the Norwegian paper, Amer
ika og Norden, of Madison, will be
named for secretary of state. What
gives much color to this expectation
is the fact that there is considerable
talk among the party leaders OF nom
mating popular Norwegian for an
office slightly higher than that as
pired by James o, Davidson, the
republican nominee for state treasurer.
1t is thought that Stromme. for see
rotary Of state, would win much sup
port from the many Sc3ndnayians
dissatisfied with the action Of the re-
publican state convention in reram-
ing Scoheld instead Of nominating La
Toilette. But the popuiists have their
eve on the Office Of secretary Of state

London, Aug. 80. The papers are
filed with discussions, comments auI
opinions on the circular issued by
Emperor Nicholas urging a confer
euce for the purpose of reaching al
agreement to dlsarm the armies OF
Europe. The most world shaping
event could have hardly produce
such a coup as this suggestion, the
frutition of which is regarded on all
sides as an absolute impossibiity.
This being the holiday season, it is
difficult TO obtain the opinions of pub
lie men on the subject. The religious
world however, loudly welcomes and
praises the czar's noble initiative.
Numerous bishops have already ex-
pressed their views in that sense.
Among the statesmen interviewed, Sir
Charles Dixie, radical member of par
lament, remarked; The peace foot
ing of the Russian army is nearly
/ 1000 900 regulars and exceeds The
peace footing of Germany, Austria
and Italy combined, Thus it would
be in Russia's power to reduce the
land forces by diminishing her own
In connection with similar action on
the part of Germany. The French
public opinion is not prepared for the
disarmament, which would mean, as
things stand now, an acceptance of
the Alsace-Lorraine situation. The
naval disarmament would be danger
Drit
plan would involve a subsequent
breach of faith, but if Germany an
Russia will cease increasing their
forces, we can follow without any for
nal agreement,
Lord Frederick Roberts of Kanda-
har, commander of the forces in Ire
land, said: 1T would be more tina
satisfactory if such proposal can
be carried out. s"
No excitement is noticeable at the
foreign office. 1t is understood that
a special messenger was sent from
St Petersburg recently with full eX-
plantations of the ears proposal.
