Senatorial Comment

The farmers and the workingmen, not
only of Vermont, but the nation, owe
much to Gen. Grout for his champion
ship of all those measures, many the
product of his own brain, many more
the offspring of the brains of the repre-
sentatives of other states, for Vermont
does not claim exclusiveness in the mat
ter of brains, that have had to do with
their uplifting and betterment, during
his long service in the house of represen-
tatives. His voice and his vote has ever
been with them and that the people and
the nation have progressed is due to the
fact that large and wholesouled represen.
tatives, such as Grout, have been re-
tained to watch after and care for their
interests.
With such a record, one of which any
legislator might be proud, Gen. Grout
comes before the people of the entire
state, asking for promotion to the higher
office of senator, something his due ac-
cording to every precedent, where the
service has been as long and as fruitful of
good works, and unless all signs fail he
will not ask in vain, for the farmers and
the common people need just such men
for senators, if they would continue in
the enjoyment OF the benefits vouchsafed
the fathers, "Iife. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, - Fair Haven Era,
Gen. Grout is not an aristocrat. He
claims no membership in the Four Hun
dred of Vermont. He is a plebeian of
plebeians. Throughout his long service
in the house of representatives he has
done more for the common people than
all the other Vermont senator's and rep.
resentatives combined.
His record is as spotless as the whitest
of white linen. He has always been
found on the side of legislation that gave
right to the greatest number. AS sena-
tor he will continue to represent the
greatest number in Vermont.
We do not believe the people of the
state desire to try experiments at this
time with men who are lacking in exper-
fence and who have already gone on
record as opposed to some of the best
interests of the state.
In holding your caucuses, voters of
Vermont, see that you select men who
will favor the election of Gen. w. w.
Grout to the senate Essex Junction

1t is no more than right to suppose
that Gen. Grout would proceed along the
same lines in the senate as he has in the

it is not out of the way to suppose
just that sort of thing. But the

This announcement Of Senator Hanna
was made after long consultation with
many leaders OF the party. He called all
the newspaper men into one Of the rooms
where the consultation had taken place
and read it from manuscript.
Just before the statement was given
out Chairman Odell of New York spent
few minutes in the room, and when he
came out he said: "The whole matter got

Hanna to arbitratc, and his decision is
that the vice presidency should 60 to

Immediately following Mr.. Hanna's
announcement of the withdrawal of all

nominate Governor Roosevelt for vice

MINNEAPOLIS. June 1.-THE Dem.
ocratc state convention yesterday was not
only one of the largest ever held by the
party in this state for merely delegate
purposes. but was the most harmonious
know II for years.
Charles A. Townc of Duluth. Populst
candidate for vice president, was given
the hc0rlicSt kind of an Endorsement, and
the delegates to Kansas City were in.
structed TO support him.
~: resolution Ionlainjas Ai- ~ mi r1t
through the committee on resolutions
with hardly any friction. only two mem

it would be- best not to 20 too far in the
matter. On the floor of the convention
the resolutions were adopted without II
dissenting vote. The threats TO bolt the
Towne. proposition ljI not materihlize.
The aIntis dis Covered in the day that they
were In hopeless minority. ~-s
The resolutions adopted favor the free
coinage Of silver at the existing legal
ratio, which virtually means 1G to /;
denogncc trusts, demand that trust arti-
cles be placed upon the free list. express
sympathy with the Beers, demand indc
pcndence for Cuba. ask the repeal Of war
taxes, favor postal savings banks. favor
the income tax, favor election of sena.
tors by direct vote and the system of the
initiative and referendum. The present
national administration is denounced. and
an alliance with Great Britain is laid ut
its doors.
The convention was warm in its ale

and wind np the proceedings before dark.
Again Governor Roosevelt carried off
the honors. Ills cutrnncc was the signal
for the most pronounced demonstration

finely p,isrl head, close cropped iron gray

lined as he faced the convention. Ills
voice. though resonant, has ! down east
raspiness, but his delivery is pleasing AMI
fnrccful, and his speech was the scholar
ly, clear cut effort expected of him.
The most striking incident Of the day
was the appearance on the stage of II Of
the survivors Of the original convention
held in Locust street. in 1886. in this city.
All the stirring memories Of the exciting
duys when the country was on the verge
of the great bloody conflict over slavery

faced II new generation bearing in their
hands til" faded. tatter"J flag Of II gencr-
alton that has passed into history.

only one of the II who still holds prom

THE PLATFORM.
Senator Fairbanks. chairman of the
committee on platform, presented that
