THE VERMONT ELECTIONS.
Comment by the Democratic Con-
gressionaI Committee,s Secretary.

James Kerr, Secretary of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee, issued
the following statement last night:
THE elections yesterday in Vermont
demonstrate beyond doubt that the tide
is in the direction of the Democratic
ticket. The Republicans lost 20 12 per
cent of the vote they polled in 1896, while
the Democrats gained is 1-2 per cent of
the vote they polled at that time.
Apply these same figures to the vote
cast in New York in 1896. and the result
this year would be majority for Bryan
Of 3S077 votes. II such gain can be ac-
complished in Vermont, where the Demo-
Gratis put up no fight and were without
any organization. it is only reasonable
to infer that New York can do equally as
well as Vermont, where the Democratic
party is well organized and is making
hopeful house-to- house canvass.
This same rule of percentage applied
to Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois needs. no
comment. as the figures will show for
themselves. Surely the drift of sentiment
is largely against the policy of the Han
Mates, who favor trusts and Imperialism"

ST PETERSBURG. Sept. 5.-The Jour
nal de st. Petersburg" in a semi-cffieial
article, said that military action beyond
that taken at Pekin would likely lead to
fresh complications. 1t would not lead to
paciication. The withdrawal of the en-
voys OF the powers TO Tientsin would be
regarded by China as showing that the
powers remain true TO the spirit of their
original programme. However great the
Indignation is which events in China have
provoked in all civilized countries. the
Russian Government adheres unalterably
to the principle forming the basis of her
policy, namely, the maintenance of peace
between all the powers.
