WINDHAM COUNTY RALLY.

Bellows Falls, Aug 9.-The Repub-
lican rally held here Friday night
was well attended and the speakers
received careful attention and plenty
of applause A flag raising preceded
the speech making and there was also
music by Wheeler's band
was the first speaker. He confined
himself almost exclusively to Mr..
Clements charges of fraud and bribery
against the Republican leaders and
produced affidavits to prove that
Clements claim of fraud was based
on affidavits fraudulently procured by
Clement agents Senator Dillingham;
was introduced by the Rev. L. o.
Sherburne and devoted his attention
almost entirely to showing were the
money has gone to in this State under
Republican rule His speech was
forceful one and left no doubt that
the $3.50, 900 which Clement claims has
gone into the pockets of party leaders
each year had been we'll and honestly
expended. He also gave figures, prov
ing that the State expenses were near
ly 800, 600 less than those in the State
of New Hampshire. He closed with a
reference to the work of the party in
the history of the nation and an eX-
hortation to all Republicans to stand
by the party which has done so much
for the State and nation and give Gen
eral Mccullough such a majority that
the whole nation should know that
Vermont still believes in the party S
ability to govern wisely and judicious-

OUTSIDE VIEWS.

The campaign in Vermont has been
formally opened by speech by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Shaw in behalf
of John G.. Mccullough, the regular
Republican nominee, and the unusual
furry caused in that State by the in
dependent nomination of Percival w.
Clement will subside from this time
on to the election in September. The
Democrats declined to indorse Glenn
ent, thus practically ending his
chances. But if he had any hope
left, the appearance of a Cabinet
officer who is native Vermonter, on
the stump for Mccullough would
have killed it. Party regularity is
held as sacred as orthodox theology
in that State, and Secretary Shaw
appearance with Mccullough will
bring the full pull of regularity to
the latter. Meanwhile the issue that
Clement based his campaign on, the
substitution of local option for pro
hibition, will revert to the Legisla-
ture. The feeling against prohibition,
as it works in Vermont, is strong
enough so that the convention which
nominated Mccullough put demand
for reference of the question to the
people in its platform. II Clement
should be elected, as good many Re
publicans in Vermont thought posi-
BILE when he first bolted, the same
movement would send many local
option men to the Legislature. If

This Vermont paper should revise its

and will not complete his seventy-sec-
ond year until the twelfth of next

much older, being in his ninetieth
year, and Gov Ramsey of Minnesota
will be eighty-seven if he survives
till the eighth of September. -Provi-

If these gentlemen can persuade Cuba !
to issue so large loan they will be
able to buy the bonds at a ruinous
discount, and, having secured con-
siderable holding, they will be in a
position practically to dictate in Cub
an affairs and if Cuba rebels against
their dictation, they will insist on
payment of the bonds and thus force
annexation to the United States,
profiting to an incalculable extent on
their investment.
In connection with the proposed
loan, a complicated question arises as
to the location of the power which
may prohibit the negotiation of the
loan, or which may pronounce such
loan in violation of the Platt amend
ment. There is no clause in the Platt
amendment designating the executive
as the mentor of Cuban finances and,
as the constitution expressly provides
that the executive branch of the gov
eminent shall acquire no power not
expressly delegated to it by the
Constitution or by Congress, it is
difficult to see how the power to
interfere with Cuba can rest with
anyone but Congress. Nevertheless,
the secretary of the tr easury states
unequivocaily that he believes full
power in the matter rests with the
President, acting by the advice of his
Cabinet. Whatever opinion may be
held now, it is clear that it will
become the duty of Congress, as
soon as that body convenes, to pass a
bill which will clearly define the re-
lations of Congress and of the execu-
tive to Cuba, and then to investigate
the conditions in Cuba which necessi.
tate or warrant the negotiation of the
proposed loan
No one believes that Cuba has any
financial resources which warrant the
borrowing of so vast sum. But 6
small portion of Cuba's agricultural
lands are productive at the present
time and her taxable area is severely
restricted. Where she can raise tho
funds with which to pay five per cen
interest on $50, 600, 900 is not easily
determined.

When a man sits down to game OF
draw poker and detects another play
er cheating, the time too 'holler" is
when he discovers the fraud. If he
goes ahead with full knowledge of
the deception and says nothing until
the show down reveals him a loser,
he is in a measure stopped from cry
ing cheat. For he was willing to
take the other fellows money if he
could win it, and gave his tacit con-
sent to the fraud. This is Mr.. Glenn
ent's position precisely, allowing that
all his charges respecting the i'm
proper use of money by Mccullough
to secure the nomination are true.
He knew as much before he allowed
his name to be presented in the con-
vention as he knows now, yet he stalk
ed his chances-and lost Had he
won, he would have made no scruple
about the propriety of his title It's
"baby" act to squeal now. The
time for him to have bolted, if at all,
was before the balloting began. -

PROPOSED CUBAN LOAN.

1t is said that the determination of
Cuba to negotiate a loan of S35, 900,
900 is causing serious anxiety to
the administration at Washington.
What can have operated to create so
unanimous sentiment in favor of
such loan is question frequently
asked, and there are many who be-
lieve that the same element which de-
feated the President S Cuban reciproc-
ity policy in Congress is at the bot
tom of Cuba's present intentions. 1t
is said, and not without reason, that

Essex Junction, immortalized by
the late Hon. Edward j. Phelps, is
said to be stragetic point, " where
upon the Montpelier Journal eulogiz-
es after this fashion: "When you
arrive at the Junction, many times
you discover, or it seems to you,
that the station has been moved; but
inquiry of the conductor reveals the
fact that you have been sidetracked,
and if the train dispatcher happens
to think of it your train will be shot
through the station to point half
mile beyond, and you won't be
charged anything for the privilege of
walking back; and if you miss the
train you want you are at liberty to
occupy the wreck of a station for
four hours without costing you a
cent. " Speaking fro n "age and
experience, many of our readers
will recognize the word picture, in
Guiding Admiral CLARK, who wa S
lost at that point last week, while
his wife and daughter rode gently
down Tor up to Montpelier An ex-
change wittily remarks that it is a
great locality which can lay claim
TO have "lost' Admiral Clark. Great

Doubtless the Banner does "recog-
nize the word picture, as would any
one who has ever had occasion to
travel over the Central Vermont rail-
road. The contemporary, however is a
trife mixed in the matter of Admiral
Clark. 1t was at White River juno

The revolutionary commanders in
Hayti desiring to prevent knowledge
of their operations and methods from
reaching the outside world, have
ordered the cable to New York sever
ed Although the company owning
the cable is largely French, many of
the stockholders are Americans and
a large part of the business done is
for the navy department of this coun-
try. Therefore, appeal is made to
this country for protection. 1t is fur
ther claimed that, in accordance with
the Monroe Doctrine, the United
States must insist upon making any
necessary interference with view
to preserving order, as the inter
ference by France might result in a
similar condition to that in which
the United States found herself after
the battle of Manila, when with
drawal was incompatible with the
safety of the foreign residents of that
city.

The proposition which Mr.. Clement
is against is revealed by the Montpe-
lier Journals figures in another col
umn, showing that if supported solid
ly by the Democrats he would still
have to gain one-third of the regular
Republican votes to win. The vote
in the Democratic State convention,
which was against Clement three to
one, may not have been a fair criteri-
on of the sentiment of that party
throughout the entire State, but that
lite band undiminished by death
and unrecruited by birth or CONVEX
sion, have way of sticking close to
everything which bears the party
stamp, and it is not probable that
Clement can catch majority of the
Democrats on a single issue. a
prominent party worker in Brattle
boro declares that Clement will not
get sixty Democratic votes in this
town. -Brattlebero Phoenix.

the Clement vote is large, there will
still be considerable demand for
local option among the representa-
tives of the larger towns, where the
pretense of enforcing the present law
is most farcical If his vote is small,
the matter will be left in pretty near
the hopeless shape in which 1t has
stood for years. The only gain would
be that it would no longer be strict
ly party question and the man who
stood for local option could not be
tainted with Democracy, which in
Vermont is quite as wicked as Uni
tarianism. Prohibition may and very
likely will be continued, but it has
met it's first serious challenge in Yer
mont. Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Shaw spoke. We do not know
how he came to be meddling in the
politics of the Stationary hundred
miles from his own-whose Republi-
cans are at variance among themselves
this year over purely State matter
having more to do with national
issues than with comic sections We
think it would have been wiser and
more becoming in the secretary of the
| treasury, under the circumstances, to
have kept out of Vermont this year.
We do not find in the newspaper
abstracts of his Tuesday night speech
word about reciprocity with Cuba,
or with any country. He denied, APP
parently, that any schedules or specific
duties in the Dingley tariff are afford
ing shelter land inordinate profits) tC
monopoly. and he solemnly warned
the party against making any conces
sions to Democratic clamor." Evi
IDENTIFY he is as displeased with this
years Iowa Republican platform az
he was the day the Iowa Republicans
adopted it. We remember gratefully
Mr.. Shaw's services to the cause o.
sound money we don't like to SCI
him going wrong now It's sigh
that cannot be agreeable to Presiden
Roosevelt.
Lockers on have thought all alonl
that it would have been better tactic
for the local option and high licens
Republicans of Vermont to refraii
from making nomination for tn
governorship and to concentrate al
their energies on the election of mel
of their own views to the Genera
Assembly. But that was matter TO
