We make no predictions as to the out
come of the state convention at Mont
peier Thursday as it will undoubtedly be
one of the most interesting conventions
ever held in the state. Dramatic scenes
are limited at by some newspapers, and II
they occur they will be only natural Sc
ouence to the most dramatic campaign
ever seen in Vermont. Tie friends OF each
candidate ought to be loyal to the man
they were chosen to represent until al
chance for his success in the conventlondis
appears.

Mr.. Clement, who is a gentleman in bust.
ness and society and ought to be in poll
tics. The attempt to influence voters by
appealing to their prtjudices is the lowest
motive and if the Clement supporters
throughout the state expect their cause
is helped by the dissemination OF such
literature they are greatly deceived.
When we play politics let US play
gentleman's game.

The Secret of the Maine

When Lieut.. Morris committed
suicide probably an everlasting
lock was turned upon the secret of
the Maine. He was the electrician
on that ill-starred ship when she
was sunk by an explosion in Ha-
vana harbor, and caused the Span
ish war. His intin,ates have been
sure that he knew the secret of the
cause of the catastrophe, and that
it was internal and not external:
but It's revelation involved respon-
sibility of brother officer, and so
Morris carried the weighty secret
until it could be borne no longer,
and took his life as the only means
of deliverance.
The failure of the Commission
of inquiry into the cause of the ca.
tastrophe to find a reason for it
has left it an open question, and
open question it will always be so
far as direct evidence is concerned.
The suicide of Morris, his occasion
al talk about defective wiring, and
the feeling of his confidential
friends that he knew the cause,
and that it was within the ship and
not outside, constitute circumstan-
tial evidence only, but such as it
is it acquits Spain of the response
bihty that only circumstantial evil
dence fastened upon her.
The consequences of that calami-
ty have been stupendous, for had
not the Maine blown up there
would have been no Spanish war,
nor the long train of vexatious
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1902-11-28

consequences, the further projec-
ton of which no human wisdom
can see. The President was OPP
posed to the war and relied upon
diplomacy to free Cuba and accom-
plish all that war could do, and by
better means. But the explosion
in Havana harbor was followed by
an echo of wrath in this country
which demanded that the Presi-
dent throw the issue to Con-
gress to be decided by the direct
representatives of the people. If
Morris at that moment had I'M
locked the secret it might have
stayed the hot tide of rage, and it
might not. Who can tell? Port

CONDITIONS REQUIREMENTS.

The condition necessarily, in my
opinion, both in the enunciation
of platform principles and the Sc
lection of candidates, requires a
study and determined march to
the goal of substantial and thorough
Democracy. In other words, be-
lieve if the Democratic party is
tempted, under mistaken appre-
hension of the meaning of the re-
vival of true Democratic sentiment,
to stop short of this goal, and tenn
porize by presenting to the peo-
pie platform principles and candi-
dates not entirely in keeping with
an absolutely changed policy, it
will not avail to convince the peo-
pie of its sincerity or to satisfy
them that it can safely be trusted.

the attitude of the people toward
his Cuban policy, has sent Gen.
eral Bliss to Havana armed with
all the powers of minister pleni-
potentiary to conclude reciprocal

there shall be no reduction of
Cuban duties on imports from the
United States, but that there shall
be an increase of all duties by fifty
per cent. on goods coming into
Cuba from other countries. This,
it is calculated, will give US a mo-

estY. There need be no fear that
a radical return to the true Democ-
racy is dangerous to Democratic
success. The history of the party
abundantly shows that it is only
departure from principle and
yielding to temptations of expe-
diencY that have brought disaster.
HOPE OF DEMOCRACY.
The hope of the Democratic
party lies in the inevitable discov-
cry by our people of its beneficial
aims and purposes. Already the
benefciaries of the high protective
tariff are so reduced in number
and the benefits derived from pro
lection are so palpably lessened,
even when applied to the selfish
interests of those who have here
tofore insisted upon it's contin-
uance, that they are inclined to re-
ceive with favor the adoption of
the Democratic doctrine of a tariff
for revenue.
AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION.
The popular apprehension of the
evils of aggressive expansion and
it's incompatibility with what has
always been regarded as safe Amer
icanism, is constant y growing, and
cannot fail to become in the near
future the most important factor
in the political thought of our peo
pie.
GROWTH OF TRUSTS.
The tremendous growth of trusts,
the immense business aggregations
and the manner in which they stife
healthful competition and throttle
individual enterprise, cannot pass
long UNDECIDED by the voters of the
land. The stupendous government
tai extravaganza that now prevails
must at length be appreciated by
the people as not only drain on
their earnings and accumulations,
but as a most pernicious example,
calculated to undermine the love
of wholes ONE economy among our
citizens.
NEED OF POSITIVE POLICY.
These topics, and others which
might be mentioned, and the abuses
connected with them, should be
bravely and uncompromisingly
dealt with by the Democratic par
ty, as they all involve Democratic
principles. We should have suf
ficient faith in the intelligence and
right-mindedness of our country
men to arouse a confident anticipa-
ton that will speedily confde the
treatment of these vital questions
to the party which satisfies them
of its intention to deal with them
in an honest, unequivocal and pa
triotic manner.
