TIVE prints from
the original which has been preserved in
the hands Of it's editor since February
6, 1866, the following proposal as to
statehood. 1t is in the handwriting of
the speaker of the house, Hon. James G..
Megeath. The proposition was rejected.
The constitution and officers under it
were voted for on the same ticket. The
constitution was declared adopted by a
majority of 1856. Butler, the pro state
republican, was declared governor over
Morton, anti state democrat, by 145.
A Proposition.
"If the democratic members of the
house of representatives who are in
favor of state, will agree to divide the
question of the adoption of the state
constitution from the election of officers
under it and make two elections, we, the
majority of the democratic members of
this body, agree to go for suspension
of the rules of the house upon the pass
age of the state measure and if by
making this division there is any loss of
votes to the measure from the republi-
can side of the house, we do solemnly
promise to make up that loss by
changing our votes to for submitting
the constitution. and we make this
proposition in good faith for the preser-
walton of our party unity and upon the
honor of gentlemen.

harmony with my ideas, and while the
attitude of the democratic party may
suit me better on that point, there is
little else in the platform of the latter
party to which can subscribe. Espec-
tally am I opposed to free silver at 16 to
1. No more dangerous political heresy
has ever been promulgated in recent
years, and the Westliche Post will look
upon it as an imperative duty to fight it
until it is squelched.
Expansion is comparatively an aca.
demic question free silver is practical.
The results that will follow the one will
be ultimate the bearing of the other is
direct. The common people will look
upon the first named as question for
the casuists; they will view the other as
having direct influence on their daily
lives and that being in such nearness of
effect to them, it is of greater impor-
tance than matter that involves prin-
ciples and theories more or less abstract.
Therefore, while cannot agree with
the policy of my party on expansion, I
certainly can in no wise accept free
silver, and to the vital and essential
principles that underlie the democracy
can give less ready assent. There are
therefore, many reasons why this paper
should not give support to the demo
cratic party and but one to which it can
give assent
Gas to the declarations of the two

understand that it is necessary for the
republican party to take conservative
position, it being the administration
party. AS far as this government is
concerned it can not actively interfere
in that contest, and the only thing that
can be done by it or any party is to give
the Beers moral support. The admins
tration acted with great promptitude in
transmitting to the Beers the funds of
which had charge, and it should be
remembered that it was President Nc
Kinley who offered the good offices of
this government in settling the quarrel.
THE Germans are above all else
opposed to 30 cent dollar, and while
they may hold the same ideas on expan-
sion as do, they will see the impor-
tance of protecting the laborer through
the maintenance of a sound financial
system above everything else.
Bryan and his party have made
special efforts to catch the labor vote,
but they will not succeed. The demo
cratic party has become in some respects
socialistic in it's tendency, but it will
not succeed, Notwithstanding. in catch

fine program, we'll rendered was in

splendid and hearty encores greeted
every selection.
In the vocal numbers the Misses
I'VE, of Paris, Miss Underwood and
Mr.. Hughes, were at their best.
The piano selections of Misses
Irene Douglas, Hill and Underwood
yand Mr.. Richardson brought forth
hearty applause, as did also the cor
Glet and trombone solos of Messrs.
.Huntress and Hotchkiss.
Ed O'Connor's recitation was one
of his happiest efforts. The same
can be said of Mr.. Guernsey's violin
solo, with piano accompaniment by
Mrs. Guernsey.
The band selections were pleas.
ant surprise to everyone.
In fact too much praise cannot be
given the entertainment and those
taking part deserved a much larger

effort by home talent was ever seen
in Montpelier before, and the EXAM
