Wisconsin is only in the doubtful list because of the internal dissentions in the Republican party of the State. Whatever advantages the Democrats may have there or hope to have come entirely from that fact and it is, there fore somewhat unfair to subject that S1ate to the mathematical process presented. On the other hand it may be said that if Illinois were put through the same process it would be shown that Illinois would give a plu- rality Of over 1000 and Ohio over G. coo to the Democratic ticket results anticipated by a few as to Illinois, and none as to Ohio.
 But the aboye figures are the logi- cal results if either or both the States, Vermont and Maine, are to be taken as indicative of the general result in the country. As matter of fact it is extremely doubtful if either is indicative or will exert any influence upon other voters. The cleo tions in other States will be determin- ed upon conditions now existing or
 mace between this and election day and not because of conditions in Yer
 mont or Maine in September
 The one significant thing-and it
 is the only indication of value-is that, notwithstanding all the cries to the contrary. there is apathy neither in the Democratic nor the Republican ranks that the disaffected Democrats of four years ago are in
 line with their own party, and that
 as a whole, they are interested in the
 success of their cause and this is all
 that is to be learned by the elections | in Vermont and Maine.

FIGURES TEND TO PROVE PARTIES ARE ACTIVE

, view be taken. then it's influence
 seems to have been to induce a heavy Democratic gain in votes and
 very light gain in Republican votes.
 The truth iS that both States are, and have been. so preponderatingly
 Republican that there has been little incentive for Democratic activity.
 The dominant party has been well organized. and its vote year after
 year has been brought to the polls. The gain of 4.7 per cent in four years
 merely represents the growth of the voting power of the party consequent on the growth of population and in each. 19Ue and 1904, the full strength of the Republican party has been voted. On the Democratic side the gain of 25.9 per cent includes the
 natural growth and as well indicates that Democrats have been deeply in-
 terested in the national campaign as shown in thei- coming to vote. What
 would seem to be the significant thing is that so far from being apathetic,
 Democrats are deeply interested and
 are voting their strength. And this
 will apply to Vermont as well.
 The intense interest which was felt in the Vermont election outside of
 the state was induced by a belier that
 such an election would have a power ful influence upon the voters outside that State. The first opportunity to observe in what way that influence
 was exerted was offered in the Maine election. which followed a week later. That influence is clearly a net gain
 of 5.2 per cent to the Democrats over Vermonts own net gain of 16 per cent. 10 the Democrats.
 In the table below are given the : doubtful States. the pluralities they
 gave in 1900, what they would give
 in 1904 if the percentages of gain in Vermont obtained ana what they would be if the Maine showing exert
 ed the same influence upon them that Vermont exerted on Maine in legiti-
 mate speculation if either or both of
 them are to be regarded as indicative of results elsewhere:

New York, Sept 2S.-Exultation over the returns from Maine ;n the last election and those Of Vermont a short time preceding has given way to marked depression among Re publican leaders.
 A. first flash the figures seemed to favo- the administration: they were interpreted as an indorsement of MT. Roosevelt, and messages of congratu- lanon were exchanged between the White House and Montpelier and Au- gusta upon the glorious victory which was to act as a political barometer for the entire country.
 A close study of the returns re- veals the interesting fact that if the percentage os gain in the votes of both parties in Vermont and Maine IS applied 10 the whole vote in the united States or to various States classed as doubtful, results are produc- ed which are far more encouraging to the Democratic hopes than to tsose of the Republicans.
 There was a disposition, even upon the part of candid supporters of Judge Parker 10 regard the Vermont result as something telling against the Dem ocratic cause and yet an analyses by means of what some have called the deadly percentage" tells quite diff terant story.

Cross Examination Of Judge Powers
Resumed Before the Smoot
Inquiry.

Judge C. w. Powers was on the stand
again at the opening of the Smoot in
vestigation before the Senate committee on
privileges and elections today. and At
torney Van Colt resumed cross examina-
ton. He questioned the witness In regard
to Mormon interest in educational affairs.
Judge Powers praised the people highly
for their application to trades. professions,
arts and the sciences Mining schols and
other scientific institutions were praised by
the witness, who said that Mormon schools
easily rank with the best institutions of
learning in the country. In regard to the
dissemination Of Mormons to inform on
polygamists, Judge Powers said that no
person likes to be called or considered an
informer Reference was made to the at
titude Of democrats, who were Gentiles, in
nominating Brigham H. Roberts. Nor
mon, for congress.
"Well," said Mr.. Powers, 1--WE thought
Roberts was going to be the Moses who
would lead US out Of our political diff
flculties. We thought he would take us
away from church domination in politics"
While Judge Powers commended much
of the educa tonal policy In Utah. he said
the admirable system was inaugurated be-
fore statehood.
In answer to a question by Senator Bailey
the witness said he understood that in
some sections the public schools were dis
missed early for religious instruction. The

regard to that. said the witness.
Apostle Grants Absence.


Chairman Burrows ascertained from the
witness that he knew Apostle Heber J.
Grant. who was now In Germany attend
tion and asked: Apostle Grant Is a great
educator. Is he not?"
I'm some lines" said the witness laugh
ingly. He then detailed speech before
a Utah university made by Grant. at which
he contributed $50 for the school. Ac-
cording to the witness Grant said $50 was
for himself and $50 for each Of his two
wives. and said that he was only sorry
that the law would not permit him to have
more wives.
Chairman Burrows desired to ascertain
where Grant was now. A subpoena has been
issued for him. but he has not been reached.
Is there any special reason why Grant
left so SUDDENLY" asked the chairman.
Yes. understand that warrant was
issued for him and he went to Germany"
MI. van Colt asked Judge Powers If It
was not well known that Grant was going
TO Germany before the warrant was Is
sued. "
oh. yes" was the answer. IT do not
mean that he went to Germany on account
of the warrant. but that he left town in
the night on that account" .
Moses Thatcher Called.
Moses Thatcher was then called to the
stand He was an apostle at the time of
iiAo caHuiudcy 1Or pOutlcal ONCE, and a
great deal Of testimony has been given In
regard to his differences with the church on
account of politics. Mr.. Thatcher said the
controversy with the church was in 1896
and 1876, and gave an explanation of his
study Of politics before he became active in
any campaign. He also spoke of his duties
as an apostle of the church. Thatcher
minimized his trouble with the church, and
said he always recognized the power of a
majority. ~
The first friction, according to history,
followed speech which he made in 1892 In
which he criticised the republicans and q
letter was issued by Joseph F. Smith and
John Henry Smith protesting against his
remarks Mr.. Thatcher read from letters
and speeches which appear in pamphlets
and other records. Among the speeches
was one at Salt Lake, in 1891, in which
Thatcher declined to take part in politics
on account Of his ecclesiastical position,
but In which he counseled the democrats
to instruct the people 50 they would be I'M
derstood in their position in favor of divorc-
ing the state and the church In political af-
fairs.
The committee adjourned until 1870 to-
morrow, when Mr.. Thatcher will continue
his story.

THE CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSIONER GREEN'S REPLY
TO MR.. GROWERS CHARGES.
Why the District Has Larger Ap'
portionment Of Appointments Than
It Is Entitled To.

The civil service commission. through
Commissioner Green, made a statement to-
day regarding the charges of Representa-
tive Cromer Of Indiana, rejecting on the
apportionment of the appointments in the
classified service. The charges to which
special notice Is given are:
l. That "A per cent Of all positions in the
departmental service at Washington are
occupied by legal residents Of the District
of Columbia. and that residents Of Virginia,
Maryland and the District Of Columbia 90.
cupy more than "a per cent Of all such po-
sttions.
2. That fifteen states, with q population
OF 2e.546. 600 people. are credited with fewer
appointments than is the District of Co
lumbfa with q population OF X8.O00.
3. That Indiana, with q population Of
Z.516Q00, had on July 1, 1903, only 542 ap-
pointments, white tho District Of Columbia
Mr.. Green's Reply.
The statement Of Mr.. Green covers a few
lines more than eight typewritten pages,
and discusses the charges in their entirety.
He goes over the entire ground. carefully
explaining the duties OF the civil service
commission with regard to maintaining the
apportionment and the difficulties met with
In that direction. giving a number Of sta
cludes as follows:
Appointments charged to the District
Of Columbia are In many cases those Of
persons who are at present residents of the
District, but who have always up to q
recent date lived In other states and whose
residence In the District Il rather tschnl-
cal than actual. OF the LIB appointments
during the fiscal year 1903, charged to the
District Of Columbia, stxty-one were born
In the District, fifteen in Maryland and
Virginia, thirty-six In other states, and
sixteen were foreign.
