1t is clear that the apathy, of
which we hear SO much, is, as far as
Vermont is concerned, confined to
the republicans. The republican
vote, as it now appears, has fallen
off 10 per cent, while the demo-
cratic vote has increased 70 per cent.
And right here is the danger that
threatens the republicans. Such
democratic gains and republican
losses In closer states would be fatal.
LIZ the conditions that have prevailed
in Vermont should develop in Inii-
ana, the democrats would carry the
state by large plurality.-lndia-

MIR. OLNEY'S LETTER.

Undoubtedly the severest blow
that has been given to the republi-
can party in the present campaign
is the announcement of Mr.. Olney
in favor of democratic success. Ger
tain it is that Mr.. Olney's reversion
to the democracy will have a wide
influence.
Mr.. Olney was the strongest man
in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet. Four
years ago, with the rest of MIR.
Cleveland's encourage, he could not
see his way clear to voting for Mr..
Bryan on the silver issue, and
frankly announced that he would
vote for Mckinley. Following the
Vermont election, his detection is
almost enough TO make the republl-
can leaders anxiously inquire
whether Massachusetts, Connect
cut and Rhode Island can be relied
on as sure republican states.
But it is not merely IN New Eng
land that MIR. Olney's attitude will
be influential. Throughout all this
section there is a very large gold
democrat and independent element
that will seriously consider what he
has to say, and be inclined to think
that he must have had some strong
assurance that the election of Mr..
Bryan will not mean free silver be-
fore he would have consented to
make public India

The prohibition state committee
is depending much on the power of
literature to largely increase the
party's vote in November. Thou
sands of leaflets are being sent out
from the office of State Chairman
II. J. Hall, at Franklin. Gen. Cor
bin recently came out in letter
supporting the army canteen as a
temperance measure, and TO offset
this the committee is circulating
leaflets quoting Generals Miles,
Shafter and Wheeler to prove that
the canteen is curse to the army.
But the point upon which the pro-
hibitionists lay strongest emphasis
is the fact that law prohibiting the
canteen, which was passed by the
last congress, was nullified by de-
cision of Attorney General Griggs.

The Columbia City Post, thus
declares itself: The question OF
making the terms of the state off
GERS four years is again receiving at
tention in this state. The Post is
In favor of the proposition. II is
also in favor of extending the term
of all the members of the house of
representatives from two to four
years and all county officers for a
like period. There is certainly no
very good reason why treasurer
or sheriff should be elected for two
years while an auditor or clerk is
elected for four years, and it would
be only just to place all county Off
GERS on an equality in this respect.

pleaded, but all in vain. The girl was
firm. They returned 30 their homes

ANOTHER BOER VICTORY.

Wednesdays daily papers report another bat
tie between the Beers and the British forces, in
which the British lost fifteen hundred men,
killed, wounded, or prisoners, while the Beers
lost but nine men. OF course, the Beers have
no way of communicating with the outside
world, and we must depend upon British sources
of information. If we could get word direct
from the Beers, we would learn, doubtless, that
the British loss was greater than reported.
