valuable suggestion. Mr.. Draper tells of
it as follows:
"During the encampment in Georgia /

After the second ballot, Mr. faf-
tridoe withdrew Mr.. Proctor's name
IN the interests of harmony and tor the
welfare OF the state, and 'for similar
reasons" seconded the nomination OF
Gen. Mccullough.
This caused a tremendous outbreak.
The Mccullough men went wild as
they foresaw their tavorite's success
on the next ballot. The Clement men
were ..mad" and nearly all the Proc
torites were taken by surprise.

ance or rejection OF a license and
local option law regulating the sale OF
intoxicating liquors, and further pro-
viding that upon popular vote in favor
OF such law, duly ascertained, the
same shall be and become a statute law
OF the state in force"
The first resolution was exactly like
the one prepared by the Local Option
League. and the second one so very
similar that after some consultation
and explanation by Mr.. Stewart made
in response to inquiries by Mr.. Jones,
the latter accepted IL in behalf OF
Clements followers and 1t was passed.
Immediately. an attempt was made to
have it reconsidered, which was done
for the purpose OF offering amend
ments. Efforts to make it over into a
declaration for prohibition and to
leave il as a pure referendum tailed
and the platform was adopted as pre-
pared by the committee.
Clement had thus won signal VIC
tory and his followers were over-ioyed.
The nominating speeches for governor
were then made by DR.. c. W. Peck OF
Brandon Tor Clement, by Frank Z.

bv John b. Carney of Bennington for

speeches were made, in which queer
expressions and bad breaks raised

After the Clement delegates left the
hall. led by the Rutland band, they
proceeded to the private car OF Mr.
Clement and laid their grievances be-
fore him. asking him to head an indie
pendent ticket. He replied in speech
charging Mccullough with buying
votes and trying TO buy delegates, and
said that he was willing TO run indie
pendently if his 22I delegates request
ed il.
In the evening there was big mass
meeting OF Clement sympathizers az
the opera house. About 80 Of his
delegates were present. A number OF
them made speeches, generally in favor

told how an attempt to buy his vote
for $500 had been made in McCul-

At 1 o'clock the other morning a
well-dressed man strolled into one of
the uptown messenger offices, says the

tilt of his opera hat, the dinner had
been a success.

AN INTERESTING STORY.

The Wall Street Journal to-day will
publish story, the purport Of which
is that the stockholders of the South
ern Railway will extend the voting
trust of that corporation, and they win
do so for the reason that they will be
satisfied that it is for their interest
What the Wall Street Journal has
to say about the matter is based upon
information CLEANED from the firm of
Harris, Gates and Company. Accord
ing to that firm the plan is now to
bring the Southern Railway and the
Louisville and Nashville into close
connection with the two roads which
are included in the Northern Securi-
ties Company. AS is well known these
roads are the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern. 1t is claimed that a
Southern connection will be of the
greatest value to these Northern roads
and, on the other hand, the Northern
roads will be of immense value to the
Southern roads. The Wall Street
Journals opinion is that "the import
ant negotiations now pending to
Which, lhS NOlAAt6 bA0Sl VI thC OOdbh-
ern referred in it's recent circular to
the Southern's stockholders had ref
erence to negotiations with these
Northern roads. In the course of its
article the Wall Street Journal says:
I'VE are told by high authority that
an indication of the final destiny OF
the roads of the South is to be found
in the growing tendency to route cot
ton and other Southern products TO
the Orient over the roads included in
Northern Securities. That such rout-
ing has increased in volume tremend-
ously within the past few years is
clearly indicated by traffic figures.
These figures show the increase in
Oriental trade for Southern products,
and they also demonstrate that Puget
Sound is becoming more and more the
export district through which they find
their way to the Orient"
There may be considerable truth in
the foregoing. There is no doubt that
the exports of cotton to the Orient
have increased greatly within the last
two or three years. Indeed they are
increasing all the while. And most of
these exports reach their destination
by way of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways. Puget Sound
is getting to be the great export port
for freights Intended for the Far East.
1t will be known probably within a
few days what the negotiations"
are to which the voting trust referred
in its circular.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World Qnd. Dem.)
says: Even those who do not share
Senator Platt's optimistic expectation
of a prompt terpination of the coal
strike will hope that his prediction
may prove true. The contest has long
enough tried the patience of the pub
lie and the temper of those directly
engaged in it,"
The Washington Post 1nd.) says:
can obscure London editor declares
the action of the United States gov
eminent in the Gaynor- Greene case
has been most discreditable. We pre-
sumo it was rather "nawsty'' in Uncle
Sam to desire to punish pair of his
pilferers after they had taken refuge
on Canadian soil"
The Baltimore America Qnd. Rep.)
says: THE Secretary of Agriculture
is perhaps, the most ingenious states
man of the day. He says meat is high
priced because the workman is so pros
porous that he eats it tire times a
day, thus creating a demand in excess
of the supply. In other words, the
workman eats meat, and because he
eats 1t he cannot afford to eat it,"
The New York Times Und. Dem.)
says: THE plan of uniform legisla-
ton by the states in respect to trusts
and combinations is, as the President
truthfully says, difficult of application.
But no man can declare ii to be i'm
possible until the effort to apply il has
been conscientiously and earnestly
made. The President might as well
turn his attention to that plan, for
the constitutional amendment he sug-
gests will not be engrafted upon the
organic law of the nation until the
trust evil becomes much more peril
Gus and unbearable than it now is"
