BOLT FALLS FLAT.
This is the General Opinion of the Vermont
Press.
NOT A FLArrERING START.

NOT A FLATTERING START.
If the Vermont Local Option league is
satisfied with the auspices under which
its state ticket is launched, the rest of
Vermont should be, certainly. To the
unprejudiced observer ii does not APP
pear that the entrance into the field of
politics of the Burlington ticket was un-
der most nsttering conditions or with
the brightest prospects; but that is a
matter which concerns the Local Option
league, Il. w. Clement and his coterle of
supporters more than it does anybody
else AS stated, if they are pleased the
IT st of us should be satisfied.
1t is noted that since the Montpelier
convention many of Mr.. Clements sup
porters have left him. They followed
him through the state republican con-
vention, but after that their ways part
ed. a large number of those who had
been his warmest and most influential
adherents could not conscentiously fol-
low him out of the old republican party,
particularly when they had received at
the state convention what they had
asked for and valantly fought for in the
way Of party resolves.
Furthermore, it is noted that con-
siderable part of his support that will be
WIFI Hln Ill HIS lIcStul CdhdludCN nave
not thought that the movement was
wise or eXpedient. They will support
him now, but their support will be given
despite the fact that their judgment was
against the candidacy. This, of course,
is not the most effective support in the
world
Finally, considerable element Ia the
Burlington convention were not in favor
of more than the one issue for their
campaign. They thought it mistake
to becloud the one paramount issue of
local option and license with any other
issues. But the resolutions adopted by
the convention, and the speech of ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Clement, put the con-
test on the grounds of too great state eX-
penditures, bribery charges against John
G.. Mccullough and reform in caucus
methods, in addition to the question of
local option. In fact, more stress is laid
by the league on the charges Of bribery
of voters than is laid on the paramount
issue.
With these various points of internal
disagreement, it seems as if the move
me1t of the league in placing a state
ticket in the field would suffer weak
ness at the outset ii would be difficult
for them to overcome. With their ranks
not absolutely solid and unserried, it
seems that they must be Ill fitted to
withstand assaults from withOut.-Rut-
land Daily News.

Admiral Charles +. Clark and Family at
Montpelier for Extended Stay.
Admiral Charles f. Clark and party
have arrived at the Pavilion, Montpelier,
for a stay of three or four weeks. The
admiral is accompanied by Mrs. Clark,
Mrs. 5. 5. Robson and Mrs. c. p.
Hughes, his daughters, wives of lieu
tenants in the navy, and by his four
years old granddaughter, the daughter
of Mrs. Hughes. Admiral Clark and
his party have pleasant suite of rooms
overlooking the state house grounds.
They left Philadelphia last Friday and
were in Greenfield Mass, over Sunday.
the guests of Commodore Davis, retired
brother of Mrs. Clark.
The admiral had to stand lots of
good natured chatting because he, Mrs.
Hughes and little Miss Hughes were
left at White River Junction and arrived
at Montpelier two hours later than did
Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Robson. The admiral
and his daughter and granddaughter
were in the lunch room at White River
Junction and because of the failure of
the porter to announce the departure of
their train for Montpelier they saw it
pull out without them.

HOW MONEY WAS SPENT.

Gen. Mccullough undoubtedly spent
thousands of dollars to canvass the state,
to circulate literature and influence vot-
ers. lie apparently had as great a desire
to be governor and more money to spend
than any other candidate who has come
before the people. He gave money to
certain lleutenants to be spent as money
is usually spent in campaings. Mr..
Clement dld the same thing. How Gen.
McCulough's lieutenants spent their
money, or how Mr.. Clements lieutenants
spent their money perhaps the principals
do not know positively. That Gen. Me-
CullOugh directed, cOuntenanced or had
knowledge of the buying of votes is not
believed by his friends or his supporters,
and the latter class at the present .time
includes many who were counted against
him previous to the Montpelier conven-
ton. There is nothing In his business or
personal life to lead to such a belief

national politics and as yet nobody but
Mr.. Clements followers are taking inter

republican managers will get started
soon, but it will not pay to get too con-
tident. We elected a republican gov
ernor in 1890 by only 1000 majority
