The Phoenix takes pleasure in present
ing elsewhere in this issue a letter from
Senator Jonathan Ross of st. Johnsbury
defining his position in the present sena-
torial canvass. When it was announced
by the St. Johnsbury Caledonian last
winter that the Senator would be a candi-
date for election by the legislature the
Phoenix said in substance, that he had
well.earned right to ask for this honor, and
that it would be a fitting solution of the
senatorial problem if it should be accorded
him. AS the contest has since taken
shape it has practically narrowed to a
choice between Gen. Grout and ex-Gover-
nor Dillingham;, and newspapers and in
dviduals have been compelled to choose
between the two. There are substantial
reasons for regretting that the fighting has
been forced in this way, and foremost of
these reasons is the fact that an election
by the legislature to fill the remainder of
the unexpired term of Senator Morrill, is
an honor justly due Senator Ross, and one
which he has earned in an eminent degree.
The Senator's position is the only one
which a man of his dignity and ability
could take. He is now in the United
States Senate through no seeking of his
own, and is there rendering the State of
Vermont the best service in his power I;
he entered on this serviece at critical
time and under many difficulties; the
honor of an election to complete the
unexpired term has always been accorded
to the governors appointee; the Senator
will not seek such an election by any per-
soRal effort, but il the legislature, exercis-
ing its prerogative of choosing the man II
deems best fitted for the place, accords
him this honor it will be gladly accept
ed, and the Senator will not be candidate
for reelection at the close of Mr. Morrill, s
term.
This is in substance Senator Ross's
attitude, and it and the dgnifed, high
minded and unpretentious way in which
he lays the case before the people of Yer.
mont do him credit, and comport with the
the lifelong record aud character of the
man. The logic of his position is unas
sailable, and the spirit in which it is de.
fined BELTS the successor of Justin S. Nor.
rill in the United States Senate. 1t is en-
tirely within the range of possibilities that
the legislature of 1900 may be glad TO have

knew, that were the Democrats to triumph
in the election the only possible path open
to be followed in the Philippines or In
our other outlying possessions and respon-
sibilities, would be that which the McKin-
ley administration is following of
first establishing peace, and respect for the
authority of the United States, and then
to give the native population such measure
of elf-government as they are capable of
maintaining. This fact every intelligent
voter in the country will clearly see and
recognize before the campaign is over
1t is hot fight which we have before
us. The Democratic party knows, as its
action at Kansas City proves, that all its
hopes for the future are bound up in the
result of this campaign. It's leaders will
fight with corresponding desperation, and
their efforts and methods the Republicans
must meet with calm argument and a
clealy stated outline of future policy.
We believe the Republican party will
win triumphantly.

Where the Free silver Majority Came
From.

from.
The free-silver plank of the Democratic
platform was adopted by the committee on
resolutions after struggle lasting until
half-past in the morning, by the close
vote of 26 to "a. The Democratic New
York World makes an analysis of this vote
which shows that of the 26 free-silver
votes were cast by Arizona, Indian Terri
tory, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Hawaii,
that have no electoral votes. OF the 81
states having in all only 148 electoral votes,
which imposed 16 TO l on the party, eight
Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon, North Dakota, Vermont
and Washington-are concededly Republi-
can. These certainly Republican states
have So electoral votes. Sixteen to one
therefore got the representatives of only 95
electoral votes that Mr.. Bryan can plaus-
IDLY claim-about one fifth of the electoral
college.
The % states whose representatives
voted against IL to l have 297 electoral
votes-two-thirds of the electoral college
and they embrace all the doubtful states,
including New York, California, and the
states of the great Middle West.
"Only four rock-ribbed Democratic
states voted for 16 to Alabama, Arkan.
sas, Missouri, South Carolina. Sixteen tC
one was Overwhelmingly rejected by the
Democratic and doubtful states, and wa:
enforced upon the party by the represen.
tatives of Republican and Populist states
in conjunction with the delegates from
five territories"
A showing like this is certainly not ar
augurY of victory in November. 1t doe:
not indicate any help whatever for the
party from the states whose help it need:

No Help for the Democrats Here.

Senator Hoar delivered the address at
the summer outing of the Massachusetts,
club at Marshfield, the home of Daniel
Webster, last Friday, taking this occasion
to declare his intention to work and vote
for the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and to give the reasons why he
and other Republicans who think with him
on the question of ''imperialism" will take
this course. 81 propose to support the
Republican party this year." he said, ''be-
cause think it is right so to do, because
l think the welfare of the commonwealth
and the country and the future of justice
and freedom and righteousness lie that
way; because l know the mep, and in my
judgment they are the best candidates
and for no other reason whatsoever"
Senator Hoar has never been more ef-
fective and commanding than when he
drew up scathing arraignment of Bryan
and his party and their free silver madness,
and the black depths of business disaster
nto which their triumph would again so
surely plunge the country. With regard to
the issue of imperialism, so important in
Senator Hoar's eyes, he said: "For one
would rather trust the future of liberty in
the Philippine islands, if that were the
only issue before the country, to Judge
Taft than to any agency that Mr.. Bryan is
likely to command"

"There Is But One ISSUE"
A CIean-cut Statement of the Question
Involved In the Presidential Campaign

A CIeRn-cut Statement of the Question
Involved in the Presidential Campaign
ofI0OO.
From the New York Times conserv ative Demo-
cratic
Now that the candidates and the plat
forms of the two parties are before the
country, the people will instantly make up
their minds about them. There is no oc-
casion for a moments hesitation, no rea-
son for any change of opinion and inten-
tion during the progress of the campaign.
Happily all the trumped-up issue of impe-
rialism and the card-house structures Of
pretense erected by men seeking decent
occasion to oppose the reelection Of Presi-
dent Mckinley have been swept away and
demolished by the triumph of pure Bryan
ism and unmitigated 10 to l at the Kansas
City convention. Anti-imperialism, milit-
arism, and the trusts were altogether over
shadowed and forgotten, until the real
work of the convention had been done, and
the empty declaration that imperialism is
the chief issue cannot make it So The de-
cision must be made, as it was made in
1896, between National honor and National
dishonor, between ruin and safety. There
is but one issue, and it is sharp and clear
We have full confidence that the American
people will decide this question as they
decided four years ago. For what he is
and believes and for what he would do
Bryan deserves and will encounter terri
BILE defeat. For his record and his achieve
ments, for the qualities of character that
make him an eminently safe president, for
the PROPERTY of the Nation, for its continu-
ed maintenance of the position it has taken
among the nations of the earth during his
administration, Mr.. Mckinley deserves and
will receive vote of renewed confidence
and reelection to the Office he has we'll
administered.
The Times will use its influence to bring
about that result.

Guessing Again.

The Barre Times, which labored indus
triously but Intellectually during the Con-
gressional campaign to show that Bellows
Falls men would fall on Col. Has
kins's neck with knives in their hands,
blew the following blast Saturday, less
than "a hours after the Windham county
Republican convention:
If any unusual sounds are heard from
Bellows Falls during the next few days
they may be counted murmurs of satisfac-
tion over the fact that Bellows Falls stood
by Haskins Of Brattleboro so firmly in the
Congressional campaign and in return
Brattleboro showed its appreciation by
promptly slaughtering the Bellows Falls
candidate for senator in the county con-
vention yesterday.
The Times is guessing again, and is
wrong again. A large majority of the
delegates from Brattleboro supported the
Bellows Falls, or Rockingham, candidate
for senator in the county convention.
This candidate lacked only seven votes of
securing the nomination. Although Mr.
Divoll is an avowed Dillingham; man he
does not have a large personal acquaint-
ance in the county. The anomaly of sew
eral Grout delegates supporting a home
candidate who was Dillingham; man was
an important factor in Mr.. Divoll's defeat,
particularly after the aggressive speech
which one of these delegates made in at.

ment which, before 1896, were supposed to
mean something. Blu: with party given

terms.

of about $4,000 early Wednesday, two
miles south of Wickliffe, KY. The train

The Campaign which 1. Before u.

The issues of the presidential campaign
of 1900 are made up. To speak more cor
rectly, the issue of the campaign is made
up, for there is in reality only one issue,
and that is Organism. In spite of all
efforts TO cover up the fact, this issue is
just as distinct as it was in 1896. Mr..
Bryan dominated completely the action Of
the Kansas City convention. Notwith-
standing the opposition of a strong
majority of the Democratic states he com
PEELED bald 10 to plank TO be put in
the platform, with all the financial heresies
and possibilities which this idea represents.
Through a piece of cunning political clap
trap the 16 to declaration is relegated to
a comparatively obscure place in the plat
form, and there is put in front Of it the
anti.imperialism plank as the paramount
issue of the campaign" But it is entirely
clear that this means nothing beyond an
attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the
mass of voters. Mr.. Bryan knows, and

The Decline OF the Democratic Party.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

The Decline OF the Democratic Party.
From the Philadelphia Ledger
The Kansas City convention, in the
character of the men and the forces they
represent, has reached the low water mark.
At Chicago, in 1896, even though the con-
vention was swept off its feet by a social
istic outburst of frenzy, there were present
tried and able statesmen and safe, con-
servative Democrats. The Kansas City
convention was mob of erratic, untrust-
worthy and dangerous men. 1t was more
than that. In addition to the singularly
obstinate and perverse cranks who insisted
upon reviving the 16 TO ! shibboleth, the
next most important element was the ma
lign Tammany Hall contingent, which rep
resents the political highwaymen" of the
country and the semi criminal political
gang" The descent of the Democratic
party has been swift and complete, if the
Kansas City gathering may be taken as its
representative. Democrats of character
and stability were conspicuous by their alb
sence, and the corrupt and foolish were in
the saddle. The whole country was in a
state of suspense for two days, in the hope
chat sanity would prevail and that David
b. Hill of New York would succeed in res
cuing the party from the silver slough of
despond. David B. Hill was hailed as the
representative of the best element in the
convention, and it is only a few short
years since David B. Hill was universally
distrusted as tricky politician of a dan
gerous type. Hill has given no startling
evidences of change, but he shone by con-
trast with the wild fanatics in control and
in comparison with Boss Croker, who tri-
umphed over him.
Bryan, Towne, Bonanza Clark Croker,
Hogg, j. K. Jones, Shively, Van Wyck,
Pitchfork Tillman, Altgeld, George Fred
Williams, Stone of Missouri, Thomas of
Colorado, Elliot Danforth and Carter Har-
rison are the persons who now represent
the Democrats, and they form a strange
and discouragiDg contrast to Thurman,
Bayard, Cleveland, Gray, Villas, W. L.
Wilson, Carlisle, W. G. Whitney, W. E.
Russell of Massachusetts, Sterling Morton,
Gen. j. NJ. Palmer, Donelson Caffery,
Lamar, Olney, Gresham and men of like
type and calibre, who but recently guided
the great Democratic party, which then
was useful instrument for good govern
ment, but has now become menace to the
Republic. The issue, as Senator Edmunds
says, sis question of men and of entrust-
ing power to party" Neither the men
of Kansas City nor the party they repre-
sent invite confidence.

A wine and liquor store is doing big
business in Somerville, Mass, city which
voted no-license, and the temperance peo-
pie are greatly agitated, as they cannot
close the store. The company owning the
store has United States license to manu-
facture and sell liquors, and as the goods
are sold in sealed original packages and are
not opened on the premises the business is
not unlawful. The same company oper-
ates similar stores in Lowell Waltham and
Maiden. In Lowell there was long con-
troversy over the matter, but the court
finally decided that the business could not
be stopped by the city officers. The ques-
tion naturally arises: Will not the same
scheme be tried in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont?

Picked Up $500 to 5000 In the street.

Tim Collins was crossing Union street

be advertisements. He picked up hand
full and showed the bills to Hartley Brooks,
who pronounced them genuine. Mr.. Col
Inns and Mr. Brooks went back and gath
ed up the remaining bills. They found a
total of between $500 and 5000, mostly in
five, ten and twenty dollar bills. The
money was given to the selectmen of
Claremont, who deposited it in a bank.
Where the money came from is unknown,
and no claimant has appeared to give a
satisfactory explanation.

A state Caucus Law.
From the Barre Telegram.

The Randolph Herald and News echoes
the call for state caucus law. Good !!
Let the cry go all along the line; and if
the project finally succeeds then both the
Republicans and Democrats will have the
honor of nominating their own candidates
for the interests of their own party. A
Democrat has no more right to vote in a
Republican caucus, or vice versa, than
have the citizens of neighboring state to
stuff the ballot box at a Vermont state
convention. True, an effort has been
made to pass this law in the legislature,
and it was unsuccessful, yet some of the
best laws in the country have suffered
many deaths before they were firmly estab.
lshed. Follow the advice then of our
Randolph friend and try it again.

Here is the advice given by Col. Albert
Clarke of Boston in his address before the
Orleans county Republican convention:
"If any young man is troubled to know
which party to join, let him do two things:
First study the history of the parties, and
second, look about him and see which has
the greater number of the good men of the
community. Measured by either Of these
standards, the Republican party stands
above any other"

Mckinley and Roosevelt Formally No.

President Mckinley was formally noti-

Canton, Ohio, yesterday. The special
train bearing Chairman Lodge and the
other members of the notification commit
tee arrived at II o'clock and was received
with the firing of cannon and other deni-
onstrations of welcome. The committee
were escorted to the Presidents home
where Senator Lodge made the formal
speech of notification. President McKin-
ley's answer was brief, but it was point
ed, lucid and strongly-phrased statement
of the way in which the Republican party
has redeemed its promises of four years
ago, and an answer TO the threats and dec
larations of the Democratic platform of
this year. The speech was one of the
abl est and most felicitous which any NOM
inee has ever made on such an occasion,
and it will be one of the strongest and
most convincing documents to be used in
this campaign. On the same day the for
NAL notification of Gov. Roosevelt took
place at his home in Oyster Bay, N. Y.

who were brought in contact with him,
know that he had the measures of the ses-

duties. The experience then gained will
be of great value in the work of the coming
