Of Vermont had exerted strenuous efforts
to cut down the size Of the Republican
plurality and there were very many who
expected to see that accomplished this
year.
This attempt to cut down the Republi-
lican preponderance, made largely for It's
effect on the national election next No
vember, resulted adversely and, it may be
said, inyersely. If the national Democrat
10 committee had made no effort TO work
up Democratic sentiment in Vermont,
the Republican plurality would have been
cut down and the ends Of the party gain
ed without the expenditure Of energy. The
Republicans Of the state were Indifferent,
careless and apathetic. The efforts Of
the Democrats stirred them from their
lethargy as no spell-binders could have
done and as no spell binders did They

THE SWEEPING REPUBLICAN VIC
TORY,

There was 10 mistaking the note In
deed there was really no chance for mis-
taking it. So loud and so clear a cry as
that Of yesterday has scarcely ever been
sent ont over the country by the Republi-
cans Of Vermont. So large a plurality for
the governorsbip has rarely been equalled
in the old state. and Charles j. Bell Of
Walden ia ushered into Office on the high
tide Of ballots Since 1872 but one Repub-
lican candidate for governor has received
larger vote than did the Walden man
have yesterday. The one exception was
Josiah Grout, who, in 1896, was accorded
a plurality Of $1,000, And with the ex-
ception Of Stickney's plurality four years
ago none has ever approached Bells
handsome showing in yesterdays fight--a
light which was conducted in all cleanness
By the supporters OF the successful candi-
date and which consequently makes the
victory all the more gratifying to the Bell
cohorts. A battle at the polls, conducted
without SANDER and without calumny, Is
Its own reward even II the candidate IL
not successful in receiving the election.
Sneh campaign was that Of G. j. Bell
and the Republican state committee. And
thedouble rewardwas theirs.
TO the farmers 81 Vermont must be as
eribed the magnitude Of the sweeping vic
tory The farmers came down from the
hills they came down In hordes and in
swarms and they cast their ballots for
the man Of their own interests. Had they
not responded to the call they probably
would not have been given another OPP
portunity 50 largely to their advantage.
But they did rise TO their opportunity and
BIZ their efforts rolled up one Of the largest
Republican votes ever registered in Yer

sunk to low level, for the reason that

Judge Parker Tenders Resignation as
Chief Judge Of Court Of
Appeals.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Alton B.
Parker ceased to be chief Judge Of the
court of appeals of this state at $3.50
p. m. Friday and became the untram-
meled candidate of the democratic party
for the presidency of the United States,
lacking only the formal notification Of
his nomination, which will take place
at Rosemount next Wednesday after
noon. Without any advance announce
ment or intimation of his purpose, he
came to Albany, took part with five Of
the other Judges in clearing up prac-
tically all of the cases which had been
argued before the court, and then sent a
messenger to file his formal resignation
in the office of the secretary of state, as
the constitution and public officers law
required. Whatever pressure had been
brought to bear upon Judge Parker in
the matter Of timing his resignation so
that his successor might, on the one
hand, be named by the governor, or, on
the other, chosen at the November alec-
ton, was effort lost, for the course our
sued Friday was the one the Judge de-
cided upon as soon as the st. Louis con-
vention nominated him for president.

PROVE A DRAWBACK.
Labor Troubles Seriously Affect Bust
ness-In Other Features Trade
Situation Improved.

New York, Aug. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Labor
controversies are the most serious draw
backs to recovery in business, most
other important factors tending toward
Improvement Despite some reduction
in the yield of wheat, crop prospects are
most encouraging, and the loss in guam
tity of wheat promises to be fully Offset
by higher prices, so that the agricultural
communities will be in position to pur-
chase commodities freely. Railway
earnings in July we're only "a per cent.
smaller than year previous, and at
many cities there is evidence of return
ing confidence, with a little improve
ment in mercantile collections. But sew
eral strikes in progress and others under
consideration initiate against a re-
sumption of normal conditions in trade
| and manufacture.
! Failures this week in the United States
are 23O, against 220 last week. 231 the
preceding week and 178 the correspond
! ing week last year. Failures in Canada
number 10, against 1S last week. 20 the
preceding week and 10 last year."
| Bradstreet's says: Business and in
dustrial conditions are still irregular and
render generalization as to the future
difficult. Dispatches to Bradstreet's in
dictate an appreciable enlargement in the
distribution of merchandise at western
points, collections show a slight gain
and southern advices, buoyed by good
crop advices, are optimistic. The iron
trade, too, is showing Improvement, and
even bituminous coal is looking up"
