Current Press Comment.

The election of the Hon. William
W. Stickney of Ludlow to the guber-
material chair, is an illustration of
the possibilities of American life
which should not pass without COM
ment. Entering the legislature by
appointment as mere boy, and in
very lowly capacity, he rose to be an
influential officer of that body; and
now, in middle age he is sent again
to Montpelier as the chief executive
of the Green Mountain state. 1t is
safe to say that he has had no pre-
decessor 50 well equipped by actual
experience and we predict that he
will long be an exceptionable figure
in this respect among the long line
OF ilustrious governors of this com.
monwealth. In no other country
would this condition have been pos
sible- Bennington Banner.
There seems to be no room for
doubt that Judge w. P. Stafford will

ity Men and women are returning to
business life with new zest and the thea

A new theatre has just been opened for
vaudeville entertainment IN the old Music

as Symphony Hall, is soon to open its
doors to music loving public. Those
who have attended the Symphony con-
certs in the old Music Hall for many
years will miss the barn.like walls, lights
that remind one of huge cheeses, and the
chilly atmosphere of the old building, but
l doubt if it will be matter of long re-
greet.
The day of picnics and excursions is
practically over, for many of the parks
and boat lines offered their closing at
fractions two weeks ago.
By the way, is it true that the old
fashioned picnic is thing OF the past !?
Many Of the picnic grounds in this vicin-
ity have closed their gates this past sum-
mer, as they were not in sufficient de-
mand to warrant their being opened and
cleaned.
The vaudeville show, it seems to me, is
responsible for this state of things to
some extent, for when so many of the
parks have their outdoor theatre, their
ZOO, their refectory and other amuse-
ments, and convenience, a picnic with
no such thing seems very tame to the
multitudes. 1t is so much easier to be
amused than to amuse ones self, and
very much more to the public taste to
have repast neatly served by caterer,
than to carry a heavy basket and lug
the dishes home afterwards. Besides,

while winter is here let's make the most
of it, for winter is surely the season of

Senatorial Comment.

Judging from the recent and pres
ent attitude of the leading Dlllng
ham partisans of the Vermont press
the Dillingham; chances of election tc
the United States Senate are not sc
absolutely safe as they were. The fact
is that indications are more favor.
able to the candidacy of Gen. Grout
than to that Of any other candidate.
But the election will settle the
matter, and until that it is fair
guessing with chances on any of the
four. 1t may be Grout, or Ross, or
Dillingham;, or Prouty-probably
Grout.- Woodstock Standard.
The latest advices today from
official sources indicate that Gen.
Grout is likely to have a clear major
ity on joint ballot. The total vote
in the legislature will hardly exceed
270, which is some FIVE or six less
than the total number Of representa-
tives elect, but in all probability 1876
votes in joint assembly will be suf-
hcient to elect. Unless the best in
formation obtainable should be set
aside, Gen. Grout will have ultim-
ately several votes to spare. 1t
should be said in qualification of the
above that the successful candidate
must probably win by democratic
votes, unless the minority candi-
dates, Ross, Dillingham;, and Prouty,
should deem best to support Gen.
Grout. Should the democrats, how
ever, persist in standing by a nomi-
nee of that party, no one could be
chosen to the senate unless the
minority republican candidates came
to the support of the majority candi-
date.
In the event of Gen. CIRCUITS cleo
ton to the senate, a special election
would probably be held in the Second
congregational district, as his tenn in
the senate would begin in December,
Senator Ross having been appointed
to the vacancy pending the election
by the legislature. Should any one
of the other three candidates BE-
elected by the Legislature, Gen. Grout
would then serve out his term until
the 4th Of next March, when Con.
gressman-elect Haskin's term begins,
though without an extra session of
Congress, which Bryan if elected,
promises to convene. Col. Haskins
would not take his seat until the
regular meeting OF the new Congress,
December, 1901. Should a special
election be ordered, however, to fill
the vacancy, Col. Haskins would
doubtless be the nominee of his party,
while there is every reason to believe
that he would have an easy victory.
Whoever is elected senator, he will
only serve out the term for which
Senator Morrill, was elected.

MCKinIey's Triumph.

confidence as it is based on personal
canvass of every doubtful state. The
Herald'scanvass gives Mckinley 25S
votes in the electoral college, Byran
