The Middlesex Contested Election
Case.

J. H. Daniels, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Representative of Middlesex,
was declared elected on the third bal
lot, at freemen's meeting, Septem-
Der 6. Leroy A. Flint, the Republican
nominee, will contest Mr.. Daniels
right to represent Middlesex in the
Legislature recently chosen. The
grounds of the contest are derived from
the circumstances of the balloting.
The Representative ballots were print
ed in this form:
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1898-09-14
The Election.

Colonel Smiths plurality seems to be
about %, 657, the total Republican vote
being about $4,000, the Democratic,
14,563. This result is very gratifying,
from every point of view. The Repnb-
lican plurality is far above the figures
for off years, and close on to the nor
NAL majority in the years of national
election. In 1890, Carroll S. Pages
plurality was IA, 1853; in 1892, Levi X.
Fuller's, 1902; in 1894, Urban A.
Woodbury's, 2S,521; in 1896, Josiah
CIRCUITS, 3S,571. Woodbury's plurality,
1894, was as unusual for an off year as
was CIRCUITS in 1896 for presidential
year. Both were entirely abnormal,
and derived their inspiration wholly
from the dominance of national issues
of the lveliest interest and greatest i'm
portance.
The Democratic vote in 1890 was 49,
300; in 1892, 10, 216; in 1894, IA, 142; in
in 1896, 1855; in 1898, IA, 1858, or some
5000 less in each of the last three cleo
tons, than in 1890 and 1892. The
Mugwumps, and other peculiar folk,
gifted with the rare faculty of extract
ing sunbeams from cucumbers, or gold
from seawater, see the signs of coming
political revolution in the figures of
the recent Democratic vote, and are
thanking God and taking courage that
they shall yet see the fulfillment of
their malevolent hopes and evil prophe-
cies respecting the fate of the Repub-
licsns. Hope on, prophets of evil.
Personally gratifying to Col. Smith is
the very handsome majority for him
in his home borough.
The off year is generally the time
when the voters of Vermont relax from
the severe tension of the presidential
year. They improve the opportunity
to kick over the traces ad libitum, to
give local issues the right of way, and
to settle accommodating political scores.
This fact is usually evident in sharp
contests for representative, and in a
heightened roll of democratic members,
numbering AZ in the Legislature just
chosen. And yet there have been
others, within the present generation,
in which the standard of the faithful
had considerably larger number of
followers. Among the prominent men
of the State who have been elected to
the House of Representative are Kit
fridge Haskins Of Brattleboro, vete-
ran legislator, who by common assent
is already assigned to the Speakers
chair; Franklin d. Hale of Lunenburg
tho retiring auditor, one of the States
brightest men, and who will be one Of
it's wisest law makers; Curtis S. Emery
of Chelsea, clerk of Orange county, 6
former member and a man of expert
ence in such varied affairs as will con
stitute him an efficient servant of the
people; Orrice Ballard OF Georgia, the
enfant terrible of the House in 1894
W. Seward Webb of Shelburne, tn,
member in 1896, to whose credit ha
been placed many beneficent deed
done for the State of his adoption. Gu

Votes not ccunted: Two for Flint marked
out of place. Two for Daniels marked out Of
place. One scattering, not marked.
The foregoing is the record of the
balloting as made by prominent citi-
zen of Middlesex, who is member
of the board of civil authority, and as
sisted in counting the votes at each
ballot. The double marked votes for
Mr.. Flint which were not counted, had
a cross (X) marked in the square at
the head of the ticket, and also in
the small square at the right of the
candidates name. The one vote
with the "straight mark and cross"
specified among the uncounted votes
for Mr.. Flint in the second ballot,
was marked with cross in the
square at the top of the ballot; the vot-
er of that ballot had apparently begun
to mark cross in the body of the bal
lot, and had made one line of the cross.
Discovering his error, seemingly, he
had made an effort to erase that line,

The other part of the ballot, present
ing the candidacy of j. H. Daniels,
Democrat, was in the same form,
the words democratic Party" taking
the place of "Republican Party" etc.,
There were two regular nominations,
the Republican and the Democratic.

Few Shut Doors in Canada.


Canadians are known in Britain as the
people who never shut doors. Where rooms
are heated, as they are there by crate
fires, the opening of a door sets up an i'm
mediate draught, and If the person who
opens 1t does not close it again he quickly
realizes his mistake. If not in his own SEN
sations, then in the reproachful glances Of
others. The first lesson in manners taught
to children is to shut the door, and that
quietly. The door handle, the child is
taught, is not only for the purpose of OPEN
Ing a door. but of shutting it. The reason
why Canadians do not learn to shut doors
is that their DOORS for the most part, stand
open. The houses are heated with a gen.
eral heat, and before the days of furnaces
unless the doors of the rooms stood oDen,
the rooms would, for the most part, get
cold. Thus has grown the habit of leaving
doors open. When a Canadian comes to a
shut door he Is prone to think that some
thing very private is going on within which
he must not disturb, and his first impulse
Is to retire from it. Where we in Canada
have door which We want kept shut we
put spring on it, and SO where there are
many offices there is usually general and
constant slamming of doors. To one not
accustomed to the Earring thus occasioned.
the result is torture. In time kindly ma
ture steps in and mitigates the evil by
making the auditory nerve less and less
susceptible to an accustomed sound Ask a
person who lives in a cathedral close or
under the shadow of one Of our great
churches whether the bells do not disturb
him; his reply is: Bells? I never hear
them"
