 New York, Sept. 7.-Concerning the result of the Vermont election, the fol- lowing was given out at democratic na- tional headquarters tonight:
 "The following statement concerning the result in Vermont was issued by Chairman Thomas Taggart, of the na- tional committee, and was concurred ill by William F. sheehan, chairman of the executive committee. and Delaney Nicoll, viee-chairman:
 The result in Vermont Is not sur prising in view Of the unparalleled if IOfLS maQe Dy the TepupHcdns anu lAe quiet campaign conducted by the dem ocrats. The administration concentrat- ed all it's forces and resources upon that state, holding in the last week two han dred meetings. The candidate for vice. president, the secretary of war, speaker of the house of representatives, sena- tors of the United States and repre- sentatives in congress, assisted by ! host of lesser lights, made urgent ap- peals to the republican farmers to go to the polls. Moreover, 1t was proclaimed throughout the state that the president had promised the candidate for gover- nor to attend his inauguration in case he obtained a majority of 4O,0OO.
 "In view of these efforts, never made before by any party in a September election. it IS remarkable that the ad- ministration did not succeed in incrcas- ing the republican majority. Indeed. it did not even increase the republican vote That does not exceed 4S,O5O, while in 1896 it was 5S,426 and in 1900 it was 4S,441."

Representative BabcocIs on the Result
 ia Vermont.

New York, Sept. 7--Although mem bers of the republican national com- mittee would not comment on the Yer. mont election. other republicans who visited headquarters were not So reti- cent.
 Representative Babcock, chairman of the republican congressional commit tee. said:
 'Hurrah for the farmer. He's the fellow that made that big vote in yer- mont. Ever since the campaign started have been hearing doubting Thomases in our own party and out wondering whether, in view of the abundant crops everywhere, and the general satisfac- tory condition of affairs, the farmer could be sufficiently interested in the coming election to get out and vote. I am delighted to see the vote in Yer mont because it shows that the farmer is willing to vote his approval of ex- isting conditions. There is no doubt in my mind that the farmers everywhere are going to do just what the farmers in Vermont have done"

ALABAMA MOB LYNCHES
 NEGRO ON COURT LAWN
SET FIRE TO JAIL TO SMOKE
 HIM OUT.

Two Thousand Enraged Citizens of
 Huntsville Hold Fire Department in
 Check-Impassioned Speeches Made
 to Dissuade Iob but the Speakers Are
 Hooted Down-Victim confesses AIur-
 der and duplicates Others.
 Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 7.-After set ting fire to the jail and smoking out the prisoner while the fire department was held at bay with guns, and the sheriff, his deputies and the soldiers outwitted, a mob estimated at over two thousand persons tonight lynched Horace Ma pies. a negro accused of murdering John Waldrop. Naples was hanged on tree on the courthouse lawn.
 This action of the mob was taken not witnstanding strong protests made by Solicitor Earle Pettus and H. Wallace. jr., in stirring speeches in which law and order were pleaded for eloquently. The crowd began to gather this after noon and tonight as soon as the details of the crime spread throughout the county, in which Waldrop had a num- Der of friends, and before the militia which was ordered from Birmingham by Governor Cunningham arrived the mob had swelled to enrmous propor- tions. The sheriff and his deputies Ipluckily stood their ground, but they were powerless before the mob and the fire. The local military company was called out, but it was outwitted by the men who conceived the idea of smok- ing out the prisoner. At 1925 o'clock the jail was set at1re in the rear. A dense smoke spread through the upper stories and cells of the building. The lire department was not allowed to ap- proach within block of the scene, and was driven away with bullets.
 The crowd on the outside would allow nobody to enter or come out until the person of Horace Naples was surren- dered The sheriff and his guards would not give in, but in some manner the negro got through window and jumped out of the building into the crowd. He was caught, a rope thrown around his neck and taken to the coun- l ty courthouse. There was an immense crowd on the lawn. While Naples was confessing his crime and duplicating a white man and two more negroes, John H. Wallace jr., and Solicitor Erie Pet tus delivered impassioned addresses trying to dissuade the mob.
 They were hooted down in turn but finally when Solicitor Pettus called on all who were in favor of the law talk ing it's course to hold up their hands, but half in the big crowd of several thousand did so. There was cheering for moment, but the men with the rope pulled the negro away, threw the end of the rope over limb and drew him up. The negro was dead in a few minutes. A crowd will make an effort to capture the negTo's accomplices, but no more disorder is feared tonight During the>attack on the jail United State District Judge Shelby issued an order to the deputy marshals to protect federal prisoners in the burning build ing and obtain the names of all parties engaged in endangering the prisoners | lives.
