JUBILATION IN CHICAGO.
Vermont Returns BeIieUed to Fore.
shado5C Rooseuelt Victory.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUxE.l


Chicago. Sept. 7.-RepubIIcan managers ara
Iubilant over the election returns from Vermont
which they accept as an earnest of what may ba
expected In November. The Democrats seek to
belittle the result in Vermont on the ground that
the State does not contain a cosmopolitan popu-
lation. and that the Republican majority there
does not represent foreign born nationalists,
which are presumed to be hostile to imperialism.
militarism and territorial expansion
'The returns from Vermont are susceptible Of
only one Interpretation" said Harry S. New TO-
day, "and that Is that the drift Of public senti-
ment is toward the Republican party"
THE Vermont election foresaadows a Repub-
lican triumph this fan" said Director. Tawney
Of the Republican speakers bureau.
Senator A ]. Hopkins said:
The Vermont election IS forerunner Of what
may be expected ali over the country in No.
yember I have spoken at many political meet
ings lately, and I find Democrats who propose
voting for Roosevelt everywhere go"
The local Republican campaign will be for
mally opened on September IL at a rally 70 be
held by the Hamilton Club Senator Foraker
and George a knight, OF California, viii be the
principal speakers The county committee also
will bill Governor Van SAINT OF Minnesota for a
speech here on September Il. and the Marquette
Club will bring coterie OF Republican stars TO
Chicago for rally on October 8.
On the other hand, the bringing OF Martin W
Iittleton, ex-senator Hill and other New-YOrES
leaders to this State probably would have the
tendency OF estrangtng. rather than uniting the
Democratic factions in Chicago. It Is now gen
orally admitted that ". ]. Bryan win not speak
in Illinois.

THE pops" WAITING FOR BRYAN.

The Populists smiling at the dispatches from
Lincoln Neb, which say that William J. Bryan
is not going TO make campaign speeches IN New

going 20 do much work in doubtful States Is that
he has been told by the Watson men that In case
he comes to New-York the city or town where no
speaks will be flooded with circulars containing
extracts from his speeches critcisng Parker
Some of these circulars are ready One OF them

John W. DaIzelL member Of Congress from Pitts

The Significant thing about the Vermont election
Is that the people were satisfied; there

lar TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTsuNE.


Boston, Sept. 7.-Colonel william A. CASTOR.
national committeeman for Massachusetts,.
has informed the Democratic faithful OF the
Bay State that there will be no money from
the national committee for the conduct OF
the campaign in Massachusetts,. Congressman
McNary, who early in the game had hoped for
a disbursement In this neighborhood. which
would help his reelection to Congress- was
OF those informed, but McNary already
posted having made few inquiries OF his own.
The reason for this sudden change OF things
on the part OF the national committee is that
Massachusetts is hopelessiy Republican State
this year. and 1t would be waste OF good
money TO use funds here. This in spite OF Ne
Narys prediction that Massachusetts, will give
six Democratic Congressman and one hundred
Democratic legislators. There is weeping and
waiIing and gnashing Of teeth among the stall
warts working for Parker, but CASTOR is firm.
He Is still dallying with the GOveFnorship nCmi-
nation. and it will be given him by acelama-

Il MIGHTY SETTLEMENT.
ReserUed TIL Taggart Has Full
Returns.

Queer things keep right on happening at tho
Democratic national headquarters. Yesterday the
word was passed around that Chairman Taggart
would give out a statement of the views of him
self and his associates the Vermont election
The statement was to show that the voters in the
Green Mountain State were not OF character 10
grasp the issues OF the campaign as they are
grasped by the voters OF this State for instance
and that they had voted blindly and unreasonaoy'
being led away by their preudioes All this was TO
be INCORPORATED in the statement. The reporters
waited for ii until OF them nearly had curVa-
ture of the spine being cured up on the seats
in the Century Building
The clock licked of two hours. Mr.. Taggart
summoned two additional stenographers, and
another bulletin was issued informing the watchers
and walters that the statement would be compre-
hensive affair showing that instead or deIeae
for the Democrats the vote i'll vermont was III
fact brilliant victory, and unmistakaoly Iore-
shadowed the election Of Parker. This particular
exssesis of the problem prepared it was said
by the Hon. Edward NJ Shepard VINO oehVereo

planning anything.
Finally, Chairman Taggart, solemn and dignihed
and looking neither to the right nor the left, came
out and the reporters almost grabbed him in their
eagerness to get legible copies of his Vermont ex
position. Instantly his face took look which
said palmer than words: There won't be no core
to this appler' There wasn't.
II will not discuss the Vermont election until
the full returns announced" said Mr.. Taggart
We'll. don't you think, Mr. Taggart." asked an
anxious space writer ''that the returns, far as
received. are bad for Democratic success in No
vember?"
Cannot you see." said Mr.. Taggart, that for me
TO discuss a subject like that without the full re-
turns would be highly improper and ridiculous?
When the full returns are in may have omething

Taggart had in mind when he dictated eXplana-

come out for Roosevelt, wrote the Watson man
ayers in this city yesterday that seven hundred

AS for himself Mr.. Cawcroft says that he will
vote for Roosevelt the surest means of defeat
