Algerism In Vermont.

The Republican vote in Vermont on
Tunesdny was the smallest in thirty
years. 1t was abont 12 900 smaller
than Gov. Woodbury's vote in 1894,
and about 10000 smaller than the vote
for Mr.. Mckinley and for Gov. Gnout in
1886.
The Democrats, although they reaf-
.firmed the Chicago platform, polled
1000 more votes than they did in 1896,
when the Democratic vote reached it's
sIow-water mark.
The feeling against free silver was and
,stil is very better in Vermont. Further,
the Vermont Republican is the toughest
uf hard-shell partisans.
Why then this great Republican defec-
tion and this unexpected Democratic
gain? Where are the Republican gains
from Republican prestige in winning
the victories over Spain?"-New York

of, but they leave that impression nev

easing some aching heart, lifting some
heavy burden or causing some terrible
C calamity. SO they keep their praises To
themselves, and wait until their friends
are dead and then sing their praises
when it is too late. There are SO many
heavy hearts in this world of ours-so

we went, full of hope. landing at Gard

miles (which seemed to us at least four)
took the starch out of linen collars and
gave us keen relish for supper. Mr..

cook Trying to Smooth
Over the Troubles.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Chair m a II
Babcock aud the other Republican Con-
gressman i'm charge OF things at cam
paign headquarters here are still trying
TO smooth over the troubles that have
broken out in the Virginia districts.
They admit, howev,r, that the prospect
is not very fiattering, owing to the fierce
factional fights that have been going on
ever since the administration commenced d
to distribute the federal Offices.
In the Norfolk, Petersburg and Rich
mond districts each faction insists on
naming candidate, and, ii the commit
tee cannot bring about harmony, it is
feared that Virginia will send to the 56th
Congress solid Democratic delegation
OF ten.
Down in the South west section OF the
state General Walker is said to be hav-
ing Il hard fight, and so is Hubbard, the
republican nominee i'm the Tenth district,
and il they fail to be eleSted it is thought
that the patronage question and the OPP
position of the Republicans to the civil
service law will be responsible Tor their
defeat
The negroes OF Virginia are also report
ed to be up i'm arms, because, as they
allege, 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.
