Gen. McCulIough's wi,ndra,vaI.

Expressed in mathematical phrase the
Vermont gubernatorial canvass for the
year lS9s has been reduced to its lowest
terms by the action of Gen. John G.. Nc
Cullough Of Bennington in Withdrawing
from the contest. Gen. McCullough's let
ter of withdrawal, which was made public
Tuesday, is printed on another page of
this paper. 1t is phrased in frank and
cordial terms which will increase the high
measure Of respect in which its writer is
held, and assure him the good will of ev-
cry reader Gen. Mccullough, like every
other observer of the drift of Republican
sentiment in Vermont for the past few
months, has discovered the direction in
which ii sets. He has no wish to attempt
TO withstand it or remain a disturbing ele-
ment, and he therefore takes himself out
of the contest in manly fashion.
1t is conceded without dissent that this
leaves Col. f. c. Smith of St. Adams with
free field for the Republican gubernato-
rial nomination. He will have no oppo-
nent, his support will be earnest and sin
cere, and in due time the nomination of the
convention will be endorsed by the voters
of the state. The newspapers which had
given their support to Gep. Mccullough
have followed the spirit of his letter in
giving their endorsement to Col. Smith
and in conceding his excellent qualifca-
tions for the chief executive office. 1t is
cause for qualification at this stage of the
canvass that no supporter of Col Smith
among the Vermont newspapers INDUCED
in any personal attack upon Gen. McCul-
Tough or attempted depreciative criticism
of him. The canvass was begun on high
and broad-minded lines, and will continue
thereon to the end.

Gen. Lees Despatches---Why the Mes-
sage Was Not Sent In.

The statement from Washington is that
Just after the hour when the Presidents
message was to have been sent to Congress
wednesday, two dispatches were received
from Gen. Lee in which he said that from
l2OO to 1900 Americans, some of whom
had not yet reached Havana, desired to
take passage for Key West, and this large
colony would be left exposed for at least
two days to the violence of the Spanish
volunteers if the President adhered to his
decision to send warlike message to Con-
gress at once. Many of these people were
destitute, it was said, and Gen. Lee was
obliged to feed them.
Moved by such appeals the President
sent to the Senate for Davis, Frye and
Lodge of the foreign relations committee
and to the House for Mr.. Dingley, the
chairman OF the ways and means commit
tee, Mr.. Cannon, the chairman of the
appropriations committee and Mr. Adams,
the acting chairman of the committee on
foreign affairs. To these leaders Gen.
Lees dispatches were shown, and with
their concurrence the determination was
rea ehed to postpone the transmission of
the message and the Spanish correspond
ence to Congress until Monday.
To hasten the homecoming of the
Americans it was arranged by the navy de-
partment that six steamers available for
that purpose should go to Havana and
leave there Thursday, bringing to Key
West all Americans who wished to come.
Other dispatches said there was no un-
due excitement in Havana. Good order
was preserved, the streets were quiet, and
the usual avocations were pursued.
