Press Comment on Legislative Issue.

In every detail of the administration of
his most influential position thus far
Speaker Proctor has demonstrated the
best OF judgment, excellent tact and
very large degree of ability. In every
essential respect no more fit man has ad-
mlnistered the duties of the office in our
legislative memory Montpelier Jour
nal.
Every Vermonter will approve of the
action taken by the state legislature
Tuesday in voting that a picture of
the famous VTmonter, Capt. Charles
E. Clark of tie battleship Oregon, be
painted at sta3e expense and hung in the
capitol. This Is as slight token as can
consistently begiven by the state of his
nativity to n an who has maintained
on land and sea, at home and abroad,
the Vermont standard of character in
war and peace.-IRGtland News.
The bill introduced by Senator Royce
to recognize the Democratic party on all

this valuable property revert to it's former

If Bryan Carries New York.

While we have been very hopeful
that Mckinley would be elected next
Tuesday it is well to stop and con-
slider what would happen if Bryan
carried New York. 1t is Just this
uncertainty of the issue that will
keep all eyes on the Empire state I'M
til after the returns are announced. If
Bryan carries New York be will be
the next president as New York is,
and probably always will be, the
pivotal state.
Let us look for moment at the
most favorable democratic side of
the case.
Mckinley beat Bryan in New York
four years ago by the unprecedented
majority of PCS, 469 and at that
time the two leading candidates re-
ceived 1871, 207 votes. Two years
later out OF total Of 1905, 1923
votes cast for governor, Roosevelt,
the popular war hero of the republi.
can party, only carried the state by
1876 plurality. In the face of such
a tremendous reduction in the repub-
lican majority in the state have not
the democrats a good right to ex-
pect a victory next Tuesday? On
what grounds do they expect success.
First, though not foremost, they are
relying on the personality of Bryan.
He has made one flying tour of the
state and will come back there this
week to win more votes if possible
he comes back to win the presidency
and Tor no other purpose.
But their great hope of success i.
in the power and political method.
of Tammany. Four years ago Tam
many and David B. Hill opposed
Bryan, and Mckinley swept the stat,
like western cyclone. Today tn
New York democracy presents {
solid front for their presidential can
didate. One boss controls Create
New York and the state and he hope
by carrying the state to become tn
great national boss. Fifteen year
ago Richard Croker paced the street
of New York penniless; today he is
northumberland and numbers hi
followers by the hundreds of thou
sands. He is playing the game Q
politics today for great stakes an,
he is playing to win. When Bryai
came to New York he PROMISE
Croker national patronage in case c
victory, and Tammany is in tn
game for what it will bring in tn
line of political plums aud fedora
patronage. Greater New York is tc
day more wide open" than ever BIT
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1900-10-31

tore and all those who pay tribute to
Croker will vote according as he die
tates. The corrupt political methods
of the city have spread throughout
the state and in Buffalo, Albany,
Rochester and elsewhere Tammany
hopes to get majorities. With so
much at stake no wonder they look
expectantly for victory.
The hope of republican success lies
in an increased republican vote all
along the line. Their governor is the
candidate for vice president and he
carried the state two years ago,
though by rather small majority.
The republicans are looking for 1O0,-
600 majority in the state, but every
thing considered we should call
it great victory if Mckinley got
$4,000 majority. But in the face of
so much confidence it is well enough
to stop and consider what would
happen if Bryan carried New York.

The following letters were made public

St. Johnsbury, VT, Oct. 20, 1900.
Hon. William Stickney, Governor OF

My Dear Sir:-KindIy allow me,
through you to express my high APP
probation and heartfelt thanks to the
people, and especially to the bar of Yer

No one more keenly realizes the imper-
iections which intermingle with all hui
man service. have, however, the con-
ISOLATION OF having always earnestly en-
deavored to serve my native state to the
best OF my ability, and therein, of having
striven to "do equal right and Justice to
all persons" irrespective of parties or
position.
However diverse my views may be
from those prevalent. and to some ex-
tent seemingly approved, in the recent
senatorial canvass, they are my settled
of right and duty, and | en-
terrain only the kindest feelings for every
one and for every interest of the state.
Most sincerely your obedent servant.
JONATHAN ROSS.
Hon. Jonathan Ross:
My Dear Sir:-Your letter of Saturday
last is received. 1t shall be given to the

appreciated throughout the state by
every loyal citizen, who has at heart the
best interest of the community. Let me
add that your faithful labors upon the
bench covering period of more than %
years and your recent distinguished ca.

the works of one,
Whose armor is his honest thought
AND simple truth his utmost skill"
With high esteem, | remain,
Very truly yours,

THE question of the location of the county seat at Nogales or Pata- gonia is one which should not be permitted to mix itself up with any other candidacy. Candidates upon either ticket who reside in either town and have interests there are naturally expected 10 be in favor of their place of residence and in- terests and that fact should not be held against them by the people of tue other place. Those who reside in either place should be permitted to occu y a neutral attitude. Neither place should demand of such candidate any activity what ever in its favor, but the electors in that town should give him their full natural strength without caus- ing him loss of strength in the other place by forcing or trying to force him to assume an attitude of preference. Let the candidate who's. position is naturally neutral remain peutral.

THE LEGISLATURES FRIDAY.

The ''halcyon and vocferous proceedings"
which resulted in the holding of the Senatorial
fort at Albany all night and the production of
n quorum yesterday morning were inevitably
followed by failure to discipline the members
whose hasty departure from the capital the
preceding day had caused all the trouble. There
some talk about a breach of faith but the
fundamental question appears to be whether
not the Friday session is farce Senator Grady
declared that during experience of seventeen
years he had never any real business
motion 10 excuse the runaways prevailed, he
must be presumed to have had the best of the
argument. We may. therefore. accept it rs an
officially acknowledged fact that the Friday ses-
sion is a farce, in which a member may take
part or refuse TO play. according as he has
fancy or dislike for that sort of entertainment
The past at least, is secure, in its way. But

pleasing and creditable thing. however unex-
pected, and we are willing to hazard the pre-
dictiOn that If a Legislature at the beginning Of
its session should make a solemn covenant to
work faithfully and transact real business
every Friday, the people, so soon as they had
recovered from their establishment and regained
the power of speech and movement, would rise
I'D and call it blessed. Surely four days out of
seven would not seem TO be an excessive amount
of time to be devoted TO the service of the peo
pie by men who as rule are painfully anxious
to be employed in the capacity Of Senators and
Assemblymen.
The last fortnight of every session witnesses
unholy tumult in the halls Of legislation
from which usually energies a record which
members go up and down their districts all the
summer and fall trying to explain and excuse
We do not assert that they would altogether
escape this unhappy task If Friday were made

which marks the closing weeks is to consider
