THE VERMONT ELECTION.

liar law in that state candidate must

opposing candidates NOR governor.
There were two republican candi-
dates in the field. John G. Mccullough.
: the regular nominee, was opposed by
Percival w. Clement, who was named
1t mass convention after the regular
republican convention had selected the
ticket, from which the Clement sup-
Bporters bolted, charging fraud against
the main body. The boiling delegates
represented the high license, local OPP
gt1on faction of the party. Gen. McCul-
Eiough stood midway between prohibi-
Etion and license. having promised, If
felected governor, to approve any
measure on the subject the legislature
might pass. The indications are that
the prohibitionists have elected enough
members of the legislature to control 1t,

THE DEMOCRATIC FLcp.

The democrats of Iowa, in their state

Without struggle in Which nearly one
half the delegates clung to the old idea
In voting it down they took an affirma-
tive position against free silver. and
thus made the blunt confession that
they We're wrong and that the republic
can party was right in adopting the
gold standard. 1t was blunt confess
sion. also, that all their predictions of
evils that were to come upon the coun-
try thru the failure of free coinage We're
false and misleading. 1t was step
forward for democracy that will tend
to reconcile the alienated faction, and
at the same time will make enemies
of the uncolnpromising silverites. If
they fail to fell into line with the party,
or any considerable number OF them re-
fuse to vote the ticket, it will make a
see-saw change that will avail Moth
ing
The platform was written by an
adroit hand. 1t is a very mild dose Of
democracy as hitherto enunciated by
the party in Iowa. Its tariff declaration
is yelled to conceal and yet assert the
old tariff for revenue only" position of
the party. It's congratulation to repub-
licans that they are willing to acknow-
ledge that the. tariff may shelter q mo-
nopoly is coupled with the statement
that the party is unable to remedy the
difficulty. It's anti-imperialism is shell
tered behind denunciation of the
Spanish war and an appeal for the Fill
ipinos.
In fact 1t IS the old democratic dom
key trying to conceal itself in the lions
skin, with It's we'll recognized ears
sticking out. 1t brays very mildly to
conceal its voice, but retains it's old
characteristic OF stubborn opposition,
to be revealed more fully when occasion
requires it.

Washington, May 6.-In vindication
of the administrators policy IN the

Long before he began to speak the
galleries were thronged with people.
and the attendance on the floor of the
senate was unusually large. Mrs
Cowles. the presidents sister. was an
interested auditor His review of the
situation in the islands and of the ut
terances Of the minority in criticism
of the conditions there was notably
interesting. forceful and effective. lie
spoke with deep earnestness, and at
times became eloquent
Mr.. Lodge warmly resented the i'm
putations cast on the president. the
secretary of war and the army for the
alleged cruelties and atrocities said
TO have been practiced in the Philip
pines. He said every effort had been
employed by the officials in authority
to prevent such cruelties as had been
referred TO. and measures had been
taken to punish those guilty of them.
Such things. however. were incidents
of every war, and could not be pro-
vented absolutely He had no defense
TO make OF many OF the cases OF tor
ture which had been cited, but the
men Of the American army had been
provoked almost beyond human endur-
ance. He cited scores of instances Of
cruelties and tortures practiced by the
Filipino insurgents on American pris-
oners. Men had had. their ears cut
Off; had been disembowelod; had been
driven into streams, and while drown
ing shot 70 death; had been tied TO
trees and stoned to death by women
and children, and buried alive. Others
had been shot and bOloed treacher-
ously while succorlng the wounded. In
the face of these horrible atrocities
some OF the American troops had
been guilty of administering the "wa-
ter cure" but the instances of this
Kind were isolated and no part OF the
general policy in the Philippines He
warmly defended General Chaffee for
his conduct of military affairs in the
islands, and paid a brilliant tribute
TO his heroism and patriotism. AS he
concluded. his defense of the Ameri-
can army and the American admins
tration drew cordial applause from the
galleries.
In a brief reply, Mr.. Rawlins. of
Utah, declared that the charges that
had been made were not against Gen
eral Chaifee or the American army,
but against the senator from Massa-
chusetts (Mr. Lodge) and others who
were responsible for the present Phil
