Honor to Captain clark.

Without voice of dissent, unani-
mously, on rising vote, both houses
this morning adopted resolution COM
missioning Governor Stickney to pro.
cure portrait of Captain Charles E.
Clark, late of the Oregon, to be placed
in the State Capitol in commemoration
of his services to his country. There
was great deal of latent enthusiasm
on the subject of memorial to the
brave Captain, and it needed only the
presentation of resolution carrying
the proposition into effect to insure its
instant adoption. In both houses the
distinction of rising vote was accord
ed the object of the memorial, and in
tho Senate the added compliment has
been paid of a suspension of the rules
to permit the adoption of the resolution
without reference to committee. Al
bars were leveled for the prompt and
hearty acceptance of measure of re-
spect and homage to the gallant com
mander of the Oregon, by his fellow
citizens of Vermont. The resolution
appears in the report of legislative pro
ceedings.

United States Senator from Vermont.

The traditions OF the oder aud more
dignified school of politics still survive
in some of the States. The election of
United States Senator from Vermont
is an instance which contrasts favor
ably with the scrambles which such
struggles often become. 1t was the
warmest campaign which Vermont has
known for years. Yet, in spite of the
earnestness of the struggle, as soon as
at was clearly demonstrated that ma
jority oil the people of the Site prefer
red Dillingham;, the minor Republican
candidates withdrew, the Democrats
dropped their own party candidate and
voted for Dillingham;, instead Of wait
ing for any possiblel combination among
minority candidates. When once the
popular will was known it was accept
ed promptly and without question and
the official result in accordance with it
was quickly declared.
Senator Dillingham; goes to Washing
ton as the representative not merely of
party, which is four-fifth of the people
of Vermont, but of the whole State. He
is 81 years old and, according to the
Vermont precedent, he will be expect.

There is no reason why career as in

The Windsor Journal has the follow
ing to say of the result of the Senator
ial election:
"The election of Ex-Governor VIII
liam P. Dillingham; to the United States
Senate, Thursday, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the lamented
Morrill, can but give the liveliest salts
faction to Vermonters generally, and
will be accepted by the country at large

mination thai Vermont shall be rep

The result vindicates the position of
those, who have maintained that an
observance of the wish OF the great
majority of the people Of the State
would have given the appointment to
Ex-Governor Dillingham; when the va.
cancy first occurred.
1t is true that Ex-Governor Dilling-
ham was not elected on the first ballot.
This was due in small measure to the
desire of members of the general as
sembly to compliment other candidates
by their votes, but in a far greater
measure to the determined effort of
politicians to thwart the will of the
people. After the second ballot, there
was little, if any, doubt as to the re-

The story Of the arduous cruise of the
