The Ohio Democrats have their
ticket in the field with Col. James
Kilbourne as the candidate for Gov
ernor. He is not known outside the
state. The convention completely
ignored Bryan by makingno allusion
to him whatever in its platform.
TIE Republicans some time ago re
nominated Gov. Nash and declared
for the reelection of Senator Fora
ker, Mark Hanna being as well
pleased as any one. The Democrats
have not carried the state of Ohio
for Governor but three times in the
last twenty-five years, in 1877, 1888
and 1889, each time by what is
known as "fuke" disaffection and
factional strife in the Republican
ranks. When it is so considered
that Gov. Nash had $4,000 majority
two years ago, and the party is well
united at present, Col. Kilburne is
not likely to get beyond the honor
of leading his party ticket.

citation is favored in securing the ser
vices of Mrs. Susan S. Fessenden of
Massachusetts to come to Vermont
for series oflectures, early in August
Announcements of dates later
Mary A. Livermore of Melrose, Mass,

Susan S. Fessenden is a woman Of
many and varied gifts, but she is
always at her best, when on the plat
form. She has a fine presence, a
clear voice that can be heard in any
hall, and perfect enunciation. AS a
temperance lecturer, she is most logi-
cal and forceful, and is in great de-
mand on temperance platforms. Nor
can she talk on any topic without
calculating it clearly, and winning
her audience to her way of thinking. "

One of the most important ques-
lions that is likely to come before
the next Congress, and to interest
the thinkers of all parties, is the
question how our protective system
should be changed to meet the new
conditions which have already ap-
peared, and which are likely to be-
come still more pronounced. The
Republican party can be trusted to
legislate wisely The country has
tried Democracy once and came very
near going to the "bow vows" by
the pratical working of the Wilson
tariff bill. 1t would seem that the
country would not soon again en-
trust it's government to a set Of in
competents as the Democrats showed
themselves to be in the Cleveland

On political and party questions it
is to be expected that the Vermont
legislature will be controlled and it's
action shaped by the party that con-
trolls the state. In non-political
matters there should be such a sys-
tenn of representation as would make
it possible to carry into effect the de-
sires OF a majority of the people.
Any system that fails at that point
is worng. To effect legislation in
Vermont it is necessary to convert
the towns it does no good to infu-
ence the people. Popular wishes,
popular desires, have no controlling
weight. The preiudices and iealousies
of some little town like Baltimore
may stand in the way Of desirable
legislation, may thwart the desires
of 100000 people and may prevent
needed reforms Montpelier Argus.

From the N. Y. SUM-

The Democrats have carried Ohio
six times in thirty years-in 1873,
1874, 1877, 1882, 1883 and 1889.
/ The plan of having a session of the
Legislature once in four years has
been seriously considered by the Con
stitutional Convention in Virginia.
The only states in the country in
which no brewers tax was paid last
year into the Federal Treasury as a
part of the internal revenue were
Mississippi and North Carolina.
Michigan is not one of the states
which has adopted woman suffrage,
but it is a state in which women
exercise a large influence in public
matters. In last years election the
Social Democratic party of Michigan
made the experiment of supporting
as it's candidate for the office of Su-
perintendent of Public instruction a
woman, Rose McBreaty. She receiv-
ed 2,706 votes the smallest number
on the Social Democratic ticket.
This years appropriation for the
diplomatic and consular service Of
the United States is 81, S45, 900 or
one-third of what the new AgricuI-
tural Department costs, one-half the
sum appropriated for the expenses of
the city of Washington, and one
sixth of the appropriation for the
nations wards, the surviving Indi-
ans. The United States expend less
for their consular and diplomatic
service than any other country Of
the first class.
In the Democratic National Con-
ventiOn of 1896, the mountain states
of the West represented either a di-
minishing vote, as in the case of Ne
vada, or new states admitted prior
to 1890. The Southern states at
that convention represented an cleo
toTal diminished either by law or by
local custom and the bination
between the two classes of states for
free silver gave it's advocates control
under the division of electors which
existed at that time. There has been
a new apportionment since and there
will be rearranRPment of the Electo-
raj College in 1904.
Coffee County, Ca, cast only 1000
votes at last years Presidential cleo
ton. An act of the Georgia Legisla-
ture passed in 1897 provides for a
license fee of $4,000 for dispensing
liquors in Coffee county and it is
soon to be tested in the courts. A
saloon has been opened in Douglas,
Coffee county, the proprietor of which
refuses to pay the license on the
ground that it is excessive. The
Grand Jury indicted him and if con,
victed he will carry the case to the
Supreme Court, which, he believes,
will declare such high license uncon-
stitutional. 1t is at the rate of SO
a head for every voter in the county.
