OF the Democratic minority Of the
House. Thanks TO the untiring in
dustry, the parliamentary skill, the
brilliancy Of intellect and the honest
zeal OF their leader, the Hon. Sharp
Williams, the Democrats of the
House for the first time in a num-
Der OF years rose to the height OF the
political situation. But with all his
energy the leader could have accom-
plished little or nothing toward
maintaining the strength OF the OPP
position had he not made an army
out of mob and thus been most
heartily seconded by his party as
sociates in the conflict with the ma
iority. As one OF the results of this
harmonious action, the Democrats
are inspired with fresh vigor and
and confidence on the threshold of the
new struggle with the party OF tar
in spoliation, class rule and pater-
| uallSm In government.
In session brought to a prema-
ture close, with many important
measures unconsidered, the net re-
suit OF general Legislation lis null
save in the passage of the regular
appropriation bills, and those are
swollen beyond all precedent even of
Republican extravaganza In the
abandonment OF public duty, even
the Panama Canal is left to the
arbitrary will and pleasure of the
President.
For the barrenness OF the session
the Democratic minority of the
House bears no responsibility. On
the contrary, it is chiefly due to their
vigilance under the inspiration OF
their able leader that the Republi-
can majority in Congress precipita-
tely closed the session with their
schemes suspended in the air.
There were all the old bills, and
some new ones, for steamship sub
sides, restraint OF immigration,
modification OF the land laws, trans
portation of the Philippines, and
kindred objects. Some have passed
the House and some the Senate, to
hang up till the short session oi
Congress. when the Republican
majority will be relieved in large
degree Of the dread of public opin.
ion. Such but partially describes
! the condition in which the two par.
ties enter thepresidential campaign.
From mere party point of view the
Democrats surely have no cause te
complain of the situation presented
by the Republican, majority at the
close of the session of Congress.

A MORE THOROUGH ORGANIZATION

The suggestion has been made that the
republican canvass in Chittendcn county
would be materially facilitated, If those
towns in which town committees have
not already been chosen for the campaign
were to elect such committees at the
caucuses held for selection of delegates
to the county convention. 1t can readi-
~ be seen that with the exercise of care
reporting the election of town committees
to the county committee when the county
convention is held a thorough organiza-
ton OF the county would be effected,
where as at the present the committees
of some of the towns are not known to
the county committee.
In order to carry out this suggestion tho
call for the republican caucuses in the
respective towns should mention among
the business of such primaries the
election of town committees, and then
the clerks of the caucuscs when making
out credentials should hand to the chair
men Of the respective delegations a list of
new town committees.
This is the method pursued in some Of
the other counties in the State and it's
advantages are so apparent that it will

THE CAMPAIGN IN VERMONT.

The Importance of the State campaign
in Vermont as an influence in national
politics was never more fully apprc-
ciatcd than at the present time, and as
a consequence it is safe to say that the
canvass in the Green Mountain state
will be carried on with more than or
binary vcor and thoroughncss.
United States Senator Rcdheld Proc
tor was in the city for a short time
last week while waiting for train con-
nections and he made the interesting
announcement that Secretary Wilson of
the agricultural department, who has
already been heard in this state, has
consented to speak at different points
in Vermont dealing with national issues.
When Secretary Wilson spoke in eastern
Vermont he was very favorably received,
and orr people will appreciate the OPP
portunty to hear him discuss the great
questions of the day.
Senator Proctor says that United States
Senator j. c. Spooncr of Wisconsin has also
promised to speak in Vermont during the
State canvass. Senator Spooner is
recognized as ono of the leaders Of the
upper branch of Congress, being one Of
the best dcbatcrs as well as one of the
most eloquent speakers in that body
of strong men. Senator Spooncr's tits
with Senator Tilman of South Carolina
have become famous, and if he takes
part in our campaign, the people of Yer
mont will be certain to flock to hear
him.
1t is evident that the republicans of
Vermont are to be given every oppor-
tunty to set the pace for the nation
in the coming campaign. and it behooves
us to do well our part in every respect.
An old-time republican majority in Yer
mont in September will be generally
accepted, as Of old as an Indication of
republican success in the national cleo
ton in November. and nothing should
be allowed to prevent us from meeting
the expectations of the republicans of
ether States.
