The Local Optionists are protesting
that Clement is i'll no wise to be blam-
ed for the Brattleboro incident. Who,
then, is at fault? The southern orator
did not come to Vermont on his per-
sonal option or at the request of either
of the other candidates. In their be-
half he has not overworked that alb
normal nervous system. The Incl
dent at Brattleboro is the natural
effect of the Clement cause. At Brat
tleboro the inspiring cause had not
been kept in judicious subsection.
Hence the disastrous effect. Hence,
also, the delirium tremens of his adj
dress in this city.

There are 800 automobiles now run
ming on the streets of Philadelphia,
representing an outlay of $1,000, 600,
and the number is INCREASING at a rate
to Justify the prediction that in five
years there will be 10, 600 or more of
the machines in operation. Agitation
is beginning in the newspapers for
more strongly restrictive regulation of
speed and the imposition of consid.
cradle license charges for purposes of
public revenue. Springfield Republi-
can.
This is startling, but Vermont is
producing at the present time, witho ut
waiting five years more, a whir III the
political world greater than can these
10, 600 automobiles in the city of broth
erly love when their time comes.

DID NOT PROMISE RECIPROCITY.

1t has been stated by competent au-
thorlty that, contrary to the oft pub
lished statements, President Mckinley
never made any promise of reciprocity
to the Cuban representatives who ask
ed him so to promise in return for
their adoption of the Platt amendment
as a part of the Cuban constitution.
On the contrary, Mr.. Mckinley care
fully and patiently explained the con-
stitutional relations existing between
the President and Congress. He told
the delegates that he himself favored
reciprocity with the new republic and
that he would use such influence as
he might have with Congress to that
end, but he was extremely careful
not to convey an erroneous impression
of the facts and if such was gained by
the Cubans it was because they were
over confident as to the influence
which the Presidents recommendation
would have with the national Legis-
lature. In his efforts to secure reci-
procity with Cuba Mr.. Roosevelt is
carrying out that policy which Mr..
Mckinley believed to be best for the
United States and for Cuba, but,
whether the President is successful Of
not, no pledge made by President Nc
Kinley will be broken.

The Brattleboro correspondent of
the st. Adams Messenger, in giving an
account of the Clement seance at the
former town on Monday evening, said /:
"A member of the band rushed out to
Policeman Thayer declaring that
Small had drawn a knife on the thea
trical men. " That's small thing to
make rumpus over. Rev. Mr.. Small
had probably forfeited his salary for
that evening, not only by losing the op-
portunity to knife the prohibitory law,
but because he had knitted his candi-
date, also. He had TO knife something
to keep his reputation up, and the
theatrical men were the nearest OBJ
iects of his frenzy He came from a
country where roasting a colored man
alive, knitting or hanging, is considered
the proper thing. He was too drunk
to understand that he was not in the
sunny South.

p. w. Clement, in speaking of news
papers to Journal reporter, when he
was in Montpelier on Tuesday, said
the Mccullough papers of the State
were unfair and unjust in their state
ments regarding himself and his cam.
paign. He said the news columns of a
paper should publish the truth in full
about matters, and that he insisted on
this rule being follcwed by his paper,
Rutland Herald. Does he, indeed ?
How is this for specimen Of truth
publishing which appeared recently
in the Herald as a special from Brat
tleboro?
The Clement rally in this town came
to sudden end shortly after the
crowd assembled here tonight The
principal speaker, Rev. Sam w. Small,
who spoke at Putney late in the after
noon and tn drove ten miles to this
town, just in time TO keep his engage
ment here, was overcome by physical
disability while on the stage and had
toretire to his hotel. Mr.. Small has
been speaking nightly for about a
month and the tremendous strain has
told upon his constitution. He may
have to cancel his other speaking en-
gagements.

Vermont's political compass is in a
furry. No one knows which is the
true gubernatorial pole star in those
skies just now. Boston Herald.
Well, it may look that way in Bos.

folk have trusted the old Republican
pilot to guide the State to safe an
chorage; so it doesn't matter much
if the compass is a little off in it's
bearings and the pole star somewhat
obscured.

Editor Daily Journal Il wish to re-
flute one little error in your issue of
the 22nd inst. In the paragraph in
daily happenings you say: cit is
said that on occasions of rallies being
held in other towns by other than
Clement organizations, Mr.. Farrow ap-
pears with his stereopticon in some
conspicuous part of the town and be-
gins to throw pictures just before the
opening of the rallies in order to at
tract people away from them" l
hope that with your usual fair
ness you will give the space to
state that this is a pure fabrication.
Such a thing has never happened.
Moreover my dates and places were
assigned to me the first of the month
and have never in a single instance
been altered. Such tactics in my
judgment would be reprehensible in
the extreme and l do not think the
State committee of any party would
desire such a thing. Thanking you
in anticipation, l am
Yours sincerely,
