An Election Forecast.

1t seems to be generally believed b,
republicans that Mckinley will b.
elected by a larger majority than il
1896, while the democrats are hope
full but not confident that Bryan will
carry New York and Indiana and win
1t is more probable that they will
carry Indiana than New York, but
their fighting force is now in the En-
pire state. One mans guess is good
as another on any election and we
submit the following, which has not
been made at random, on next Tues
days result by states.
For Mckinley, California, Connec-
ticut, Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
For Bryan, Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North
Carolina, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Virginia.
This forecast gives Mckinley 259
votes in the electoral against 1873
for Bryan and elects Mckinley by a
majority of 35 votes.

in the treatment of such complicated pro-
blems. Should the American policy prevail,
should the Emperor of China return to
his capital and resume the reins of au-
| thority, should he inhict on the guilty
| the punishment which they merit. and
should the powers emulate the spirit OF
moderation, Justice and magnanimity
which the President of the United States
has displayed, we shall see the integrity
of the great Empire preserved, its gov
eminent and it's people chastened by a
bitter lesson, the wrong of conquest and
partition averted, a great and awaken
ing nation brought to appreciate the
wisdom and generosity OF the American
Republic, and the door of trade opened
wide again, secured by "a new comprehen-
sion OF the necessity Of development and
the advantage of participation in the
great movement which has accomplished
the spread Of civilization, the breaking
down OF ancient barriers and the eXten.
sion OF intercourse among men.
The greatness of the Presidents policy
in dealing with the Chinese problem
stands out clear and luminous when we
contemplate any alternative course
which has been proposed or can be Sug-
gested. The legation of the United
States still remains at Pekin, its rights
guarded, its Office open for the trans
action of International business. There
has been no retreat. there has been no
abandonment of American rights and
interests. On the other hand, by the
timely withdrawal of the troops and the
dlsavowal OF aggressive purposes by the
United States, China is recalled to
sense of her responsibility and an I'M
fortunate Emperor, who has, indeed,
failed to exhibit that vigor and author
lty which have saved his Empire from
invasion and humiliation, is encouraged
to resume his authority and meet his
obligations. So far as the United States
is concerned, he is invited having learned
bitter lesson of experience, to re-assert
the dignity of his Imperial office, to ex-
ercse his duties as the highest magistrate
of his Empire, and, as far as possible to
wipe out the traces of the wrong that
has been committed.
Should he rise to the opportunity, the
reorganization of the Chinese Empire
would be largely the work of American
diplomacy.
Should he fail to do so, a great nation
al duty would at least have been we'll
performed and the United States would
have no responsibility for the decay of
his authority and the rending and distri-
button Of his dominions."

Press Comment.

The people of this district have rea-
son to regret that Representative
Grout has failed in his contest for the
Vermont senatorship. This regret
will have no reference whatever to the
qualifications of Mr.. Dillingham;. the
successful candidate, whose election
was announced today. Mr.. Grout
has proved himself a true friend of
the National Capitol. He has given
to district affairs intelligent consider
alton, and has been in a position to
advance its interests very materially.
His defeat for the senatorship will for
the time end his career in Congress,
for he withdrew from the contest for
the nomination for the house in order
that he might be free to compete for
the other Office, and the election of
Dillingham;, therefore, robs Congress
of Mr.. CIRCUITS services altogether for

Comments on Judge Ross Letter.

There is something positively
pathetic in the farewell letter to the
people of Vermont by the grand old
man, Jonathan Ross. He will live in
the hearts of the people of this state
who will wish for him a happy
twilight of life long prolonged before
darkness sets in. There is a little
wonder as to how these closing
words of his will set with the victor
of the recent senatorial contest !:

asks that through him he may ex-
press his thanks to the people of Yer

to ex-senator Ross is an official ex-
preston of the feeling of a whole
state which has not only known
Judge Ross but entertains for him
the highest respect and will ever
point to his public life as spotless
