Republicans Garry the State by Largely
Decreased Majority.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sept. 6.
State issues, of which that of local
option was the most important, caused
a 20 per cent decrease in the Repub.
ican vote in the state election and a
large proportion Of that vote went to
the Democratic party. The Republic.
ans, OF course, carried the state by an
immense margin, but it is likely to fall
at least 10,0 900 under the vote of 1896,
but at the same time it is probably
about 5000 ahead Of the gubernatorial
vote two years ago.
Returns from 40 cities and towns in
the state give the vote for governor:
Stickney (Rep.) 38,601, Senter (Dem. }
13, ,123, all others 1,128
These returns show Republican loss
Of 4,300 and Democratic gain of S13,
further showing Republican majority
over all Of "a, ,430 and plurality of 25,-
478, with 70 towns to hear from.
The vote for congressman appears to
be running substantially the same as
that for governor.

Senator George L. Wellington Formally
Quits the Republican Party.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. 6.-The
opening of the Democratic campaign
for the states Of Maryland and West
Virginia at this place was rendered
memorable by the appearance on the
same platform of the Democratic ma
tional standard bearer, Hon. William
j. Bryan and United States Senator
George L. Wellington, who was elected
as a Republican. Both these distin-
guished gentlemen were in good voice
and both spoke with their accustomed
force. Senator Wellington's speech
marked his formal remuneration of
party ties on account Of the issues
growing out Of the war with Spain.
He had prepared his speech with care
and he read it from typewriter manu-
script Mr.. Bryan spoke without notes
and he appeared at the meeting almost
Immediately after the arrival of the
special train which had brought him
across the state of West Virginia and
thus far into the state of Maryland.
The journey had been an arduous one,
covering, including the trip from Chi.
cago, about "a hours of railroad riding.
Still Mr.. Bryan appeared in excellent
good order and he spoke with his Gus.
tomary vim and vigor.
The journey of the presidential can.
didate across the state was not devoid
Of labor for him, for while he left the
train but once on the journey, he made
a number of brief speeches from the
rear platform of the hindmost car.

A P14RTIS1IN BENCH.

From time immemorial this Seventh
judicial district has been absolutely
nou-partisan in the matter of selecting
it's judges, and the result has been
most satisfactory in that it has ever
had upon the bench men sofs marked
ability and integrity Judge Nickel
vey was a Democrat, and was repeat
edly elected in a district which was
then, asst is now, Republican, without
political opposition. A Republican
governor appointed L. L. Baxter, a
Democrat, when an additional Judge
was provided for, and during all these
years he has been upon the bench he
has never been opposed at the polls,
save once-the first time, when hand
full of Republicans held a convention
and nominated a Republican in the
person of j. P. Williams, of Fergus
Falls an excellent man and fully quail
flied, but who was overwhelmingly de-
feated by the Republican votes because
the party felt that the bench should be
above and beyond partisanship. This
was fifteen years ago, and Judge Bax-
ter has served ever since.
Judge Searle was appointed to sue
ceed a Republican judge, Hon. L. W.
Collins, when he was elected to the
supreme bench, and the Democrats
have never opposed a candidate to him.
This district has been conspicuous in
the State as having two of the ablest
judges upon the bench who have served
with the utmost satisfaction. Their
ability and integrity are everywhere
recognized. The interests of no liti-
CANT ever suffered by reason of any in
justice or bias on their part; and so
we'll satisfied are the attorneys practic-
ing before them that they have re-
peatedly signed petitions for their
candidacy.
Such briefly has been the record in
this district. But now, and for some
reason not apparent, a Democratic ju-
dietary convention has been called to
meet at Little Falls on September II,
to nominate candidate in opposition
to Judge Searle. The call is signed by
W. P. Remer and G. E. Vasaly--in op-
position to the expressed wishes of
every Democratic lawyer, and nearly
every Democratic newspaper in the
district. To the credit of the Demo-
Gratis of the district. let it be said that
an overwhelming majority of them are
as sincere adherents to the course of a
non-partisan judiciary, as are the Re-
publicans, and it is not probable that
any nomination will be made.
If it shall nominate, it will make no
difference with the result. Judge
Searle has nothing to fear,~- He has
the unbounded confidence of the peo-
pie, and the esteem of the bar. His
election is assured.-SGuk Centre Herald.

No Pardon.

Governor Fancher has received petit
tons for the pardon of one Joseph Till,
who was sentenced to imprisonment in
the state penitentiary tvr life about four
years ago for the murder of his cousin,
Adam Miller, of Pembina county in 1895.
The petition tor pardon was presented
by D. E. Morden of this city who claims
to have thorough knowledge OF the case
and though the man was convicted on
strong circumstantial evidence, is conf
dent that he is innocent, and has been
actively engaged in getting up the petit
ton for three years or more past. The
governor will probably act on the petit
ton sometime next week, though it is
not expected that the pardon will be
granted as the Judge who tried the case
and other prominent men who are per-
sonally acquainted with the circumstances
in the case are confident, that the man
was justly Wahpeton
Globe.
The governor decided last week not to
grant the pardon on the ground that no
new evidence produced showed that Till
was not guilty.

was found near the surface, her face
frozen in the freshly formed ice. They

previous by men who were engaged in
harvesting ice.
Mr.. Ferguson has lived in Jamestown
for several years and has relatives in New
