IS AL RIGHT
The Green Mountain State Rolls Up
the Usual Big Republican
Majority.
A Plurality Of Over $4,000 For the
Republican Candidate For
Governor.
Senator Wellington. Of Maryland.
Announces His Aflliation With
the Bryanites

Montpelier, VT, Sept. 5.The predic-
tons Of the republican party managers
We're verified by the voters OF the Green
Mountain state Tuesday. William W.,
Stickney, republican candidate for gov
ernor, has received approximately
49, $50 votes and John H Senter, demo-
scrat, 1880, showing republican plu-
rality OF. $4,000.
Ira Allen, chairman of the republican
state committee, said last Saturday
that the republican plurality would be
Lao. 600. On the same day Senator Proc
tor said it would be $4,000
OF the 246 towns and cities in the
state about four-fifths have been heard
| from and the figures given above are
based on the returns already In. 1t is
certain, however, that the republican
plurality will not be cut at all when the
lsfull returns are in and it may be in
creased a hundred or more.
Analysis OF the vote already in, as
compared with that in 1896, shows re-
1 publican logs of per cent and demo-
cratic gain of IL per cent. With one
Exception, that Of the year 1895, the re-
publican plurality is the largest the
party ever secured in this state. In
1896 it was 1851 for the republican
governor and 4O,3S4 for Mckinley.
The early returns were of decided
| ~ discouraging nature for the republi.
cans and CORRESPONDENCE good for the.
democrats. The first ten towns heard
from gave Mr. Stickney 2,7s4 and Mr..
Senter /. O9s. In 1896 Mr.. Grout had 1888
and Mr.. Jackson 1,025.
The first twenty-five towns heard
from gave Mr.. stickney 1874 and Mr..
Senter 1858 In 1896 the same towns
gave Mr.. Grout 6,4O9 ana Mr.. Jackson
2.19o.
The Windham county complete came
in showing republican loss of 90 per
cent and a democratic gain of g. per
cent. This Indicated republican plu-
lrality. of not above $1,000.
These ere the figures at II o'clock, and
the outlook Was not bright. At midnight
loo towns and cities had been heard
from, and they gave Mr.. Stickney 24.S35
and Mr.. Senter S.s34. In 1896 the game
towns gave Mr.. Grout 1882 and Mr..
jackson $500. This was#a better repub-
tsiican showing and frightened with each
900 plurality We're arrived at.
David j. Foster was elected to- con-
gress in the First district, and kittridge
Haskins in the Second both by de-
creased pluralities The house will be
as largely republican az usual. and Of
| the thirty senators there is not a cor
poral's guard of democratic Mr.. Dill
bingham is thought to have majority;
LOT the legislature for United States sem.
ator, to succeed Mr.. Morrill,.
The most notable and significant fact
revealed by yesterdays election is that
mot all&of the gold democrats have re-.
turned to the fold. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan
received 10.146 votes against 14,S55 for
| Mr. Jackson. democratic candidate for
governor. The difference represented
1.-The number of democrats who We're will
Hing to vote for a democratic governor,
| but not for a free silver president
| 1t has been freely predicted that this
year all the gold democrats would re-
turn to the party. and that the election.
would prove it. but the proof has failed.
Many democrats who voted against the
party In 1896 undoubtedly voted with II
i yesterday, but an analysis OF the figures
80 far returned shows that their number
is less than 1000. The other 5000 either
Ibid not vote at all or they voted with
the republicans

The senator from Maryland VIII
Not support MCKINLEY.
Cumberland. Nd, Sept. with
malice toward none. with charity for
all, with frmness to do the right as God
gives me power to gee the right will
do my whole duty. and in the perform
ances Of that duty I find it necessary not
only to oppose the reelection Of Pres-.
dent Mckinley, but to emphasize that
position by supporting his antagonist,
| who in this election stands for free gov
ernment according to the constitu-
| ton.
With these words United States SEN
ator George 4. Wellington of Maryland,
speaking on the same platform with
4 William J. Bryan, read himself out Of
the republican party and entered the
ra nks Of the democracy last night.
The occasion was the formal opening
| OF the democratic campaign in this
state Mr.. Bryan arrived here just be-
fore the hour set for the meeting, hav-
ling completed a pretty direct twenty
four-ho Journey from Chicago.

of the evening, reading from manu-
script. He was listened to with close
attention, and the intense feeling pro-
voked by his new attitude was evi-
denced by the frantic cheers and the
sharp Kisses that alternately punctuated,
| his utterances.
The Maryland senator said he had ia
ken this position because Of his views
upon the Spanish war and ito conse-
quences. and because Of his opposition
to imperialism. He said in part:
Az the governmental policy OF Presi-
dent Mckinley was developed I was
l.compelied to differ from it at several
points and gave evidence OF my disa-
greement in the speeches delivered by
line during the past three years upon
! the. floor Of the senate touching the
spanish-American war the Philippine
Islands Porto Rico and the South Afri-
can affairs.
Upon the principles therein advanced
I stand today. gave friendly warn.

became responsible for certain policies I
would not follow. Therefore, the party
having become so responsible, 1 am
compelled to refuse submission TO Its
behests and to range myself againet II
