BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER u, 1900

that no man could own slave, and yet
before the Philippine war is ended we have
the Sulu treaty, which recognizes slavery"
Assistant Secretary of War Melklejohn has
called the attention of Mr.. Bryan TO the
agreement signed by Gen. Bates and the
sultan of Jolo, which was approved by the
President, subject to the action Of Con-
gress, with the understanding and reser-
va.ion, which should be distinctly COM
municated to the sultan Of Jolo, that this
agreement is not to be deemed in any way
to authorize or to give the consent of the
United States to the existence Of slavery
in the Sulu archipelago, thing which is
made impossible by the 18th amendment
to the constitution OF the United States"

The Stats. Zeitung, the leading German
paper of New York city, has come out
with a strong editorial advocating the
election of Mckinley. The Stats Zeitung
says the trend of opinion among German
Americans all over the country is toward
the Republican candidates and doctrines,
despite the assertions of Bryan and his
followers to the contrary. The ground on
which this influential German paper de-
clAres for Mckinley is that the Democrats
have not succeeded in making anti-impe.
rialism the paramount issue" of their
campaign. On the contrary, Mr.. Bryan
has practically abandoned that issue and
has declared himself as strongly and un-
equivocally for free silver as he was in
1896. His election, the Stats. Zeitung
believes, would inevitably be followed by a
commercial revulsion and period of dis
astrous business depression.

MONTPELIER. Oct. 10.

MONTPELIER, Oct. 10.
The senatorial contest has warmed up
appreciably during the past "a hours and
lines are beginning to be drawn pretty
sharply. The contest is now drawing rap
idly TO close and several masks have
been thrown away. Judge Ross came to
Montpelier today and speculation is rife as
to what bearing his visit will have.
There are no indications that Grout has
made any inroads on Dillingham's strength.
Betting is even on Dillingham; against the
field and there Is indisputable evidence of
nervousness on the part of the Grout lead
ers. They started the week by bringing
into Montpelier from all parts of the state
a strong corps of local politicians who are
endeavoring to work on the members from
their localities. Two of the three Ross
men from Windsor county have been won
over to Grout, but the fact has rather
weakened him as the transfer has embit-
tered the other Ross men and some of them
declare openly that they will vote for Dill
lingham in order to punish Grout.
The representatives and senators from
three counties caucused last night. The
Windsor county caucus was the most de-
| cisive in its results as all the men from
that county were present. The roll was
called and II representatives and all the
three senators declared themselves for Dill
lingham. Five were for Grout and one for
Ross, while one, Mr.. Chandler of Barnard,
stated that personally he was for Dilling-
ham, but thought a majority of his town
was for Grout and he should therefore be
compelled to vote for him.
A caucus of the Windham county men,
bers developed the fact that there is only
one out and out Grout man from the
county unless Gale of Guilford can be
classed in that column. Mr.. Lackey of
Stratton and Mr.. Tudor of Somerset de-
clared themselves for Dillingham;. From
Windham county the Grout men claim
Edison of Windham, Smith of Halifax and
Sawyer of Nottingham.
The other county to caucus was Ben
nington. The surprise Of that gathering
was the action of Mr.. Sumner of Sears
burg, who has been credited all along for
Grout, but stated that he should vote first,
last and all the time for Dillingham;.
While all the Bennington county mem
bers we're not present, it can be stated

The Democrats have not missed an op
portunity to quote Abraham Lincoln in
this campaign, and men like Carl Schurz,
who assailed Lincoln bitterly when he was
alive, now refer to him as truly Repub-
licsn" president. Mr.. Stevenson, the Dem
ocratic candidate for vice president, who is
on record as a greenbacker, silvcrite and
a gold standard man, has sought in
an article in the North American Re
view to turn point by an extended
quotation from Lincoln which the mar
tyred president never wrote. Mr.. Steven
son attributes the language used about cor
ruption in high places and the reign of the
n oney power TO letter written by Lin
coin in 1864, but as a matter of fact the
statement was the utterance of a medium
in 1868, who gave the words as a message
from Lincoln in the spirit land.

Ex-President Harrison has come out
strongly in a public letter advocating the
election of Mckinley. Mr.. Harrison an
nounces his final retirement from active
politics. His summing up of the situation
is as follows: "His (Mr. Bryan's) election
would, think, throw governmental and
business affairs into confusion We should
not aid the election of a president who
would, admittedly, if he could, destroy the
gold standard and other things that we
value even more, upon the deceptive sug-
gestion that he has been bound, and that
the Republican party will, after defeat,
still have strength enough TO save the tenn
Pile. 1t will be much better not to allow
the man with destructive tendencies to
lean against its pillars"

The Central Vermont railroad proves to
be money-maker under the management
of the Grand Trunk officials, who report
net earnings of $9O6, 995 for their first ii
months of control Probably the railroad
could have piled up a surplus under the
Smith regime but for parasltical corpora
tions which absorbed the cash. The
Canucks evidently mean to milk the old
system for all that it will yield, and evil
dences are not lacking to show that their
policy as regards accommodation will fol-
low the old Vanderbilt idea of "the public
be d-ed." The situation with an alien
corporation gathering ducats In Vermont
and carrying them across the border for
use in improvement of the Grand Trunk
system is not altogether pleasing.

pious fraud. He has been in the city

Who arrested him yesterday morning.
He Was in an intoxicated condition at
the time, and in the AFTERNOON Judge
Gillespie sent hi INTO Jail for ten days,
TO allow the police time to examine

in the court room, and refused to an
