THRICE BEATEN.

Bryan always was good stump speak
err, capable Of raising his auditors to a
high pitch of enthusiasm; but there his
power ends. He does not carry that
final conviction which makes the success
full politician. Once, twice, thrice, he has
assailed the Republican party, only to
fall without the breastwofks. To be
sure, he does not have the undivided
support Of a strong party organization
back Of him; but were he possessed Of
that capacity for carrying conviction, as
well as enthusiasm, he would long ere
this have rallied the remnants of once
powerful and successful party organiza-
ton Because he lacks the ability to
carry conviction and allay suspicion, he
has failed
Bryan never had a better chance than
the present to win the presidency so
far as conditions in the opposing party
were concerned. The Republicans were
loaded down with an incubus Of panic;
they were weakened by the Roosevelt
succession" idea; they were supposedly
damaged by the party attitude on labor
questions. All these things initiated
powerfully in aid of the opposing party
candidate; yet Bryan could not rise to
the occasion. He was beaten in his own
party before being roundly trounced by
De opposing party. It is now left for
lie Democratic party to cast about for
some other candidate.

NOTES AND COMMENT
ON THE LEGISLATURE

The House judiciary committee made
a favorable report yesterday afternoon
on the bill originating in that body TO
provide for the celebration Of the ter
centenary OF the discovery Of Lake
Champain, with proposals OF amend
ment, and these amendments were made
a special order for Wednesday afternoon
at $3.50. In the meantime the bill was
ordered TO lie. These amendments cut
the appropriation from $4,000 to $50 600
and provide that at least $4,000 Of this
sum must be expended in the erection
OF a permanent memorial In some Yer
mont town or city In the valley Of Lake
Champlain.
Judge Linus Leavens Of Cambridge. the
sole survivor Of the court of claims, was
in session yesterday in the court room az
the State House. Judge \. y, Finn OF
Springfield aud Judge 4. w. Gibson OF
Brattleboro, who were elected in joint
assembly few days ago, have not quail
fed, and Judge Ieayens is still the only
surviving member Of a body which has
already outlived its usefulness. Several
claims against the state that were in
the hands of the court win be turned
over 60 the auditor of accounts or will
reach the committee on claims Of the
two houses of the legislature through
bills to be introduced. Among these is
4 claim of the National bank of Bellows
Falls for $ll4.l6 for an error in taxes
paid TO the state, and another for S55.05
from Richard Beattie OF Maidstone for
services and money paid out in pursuing
Albert Kelsey of Victory, who was
charged with horse stealing.
The public meeting scheduled to be
held in Representatives hall last night
under the auspices of the interdenomi-
national comfy commission, for which
the hall had been granted by Joint reso-
luton, did not materialize, and the hall
was used for receiving election returns.
II. G. Williams OF Newport, chairman OF
the Republican state committee, had
charge and the returns were read as fast
as received by Representative Miller OF
Bethel Of the minority party. Chairman
Williams was also assisted by Represen-
tative G.. $. Kinsley and j. L. Bacon
and Col. j. G. Norton, members from
Rutland, Windsor and Franklin OF the
Republican state committee. The hall
was well filled although returns by the
Vermont Telephone company were
thrown on screen on State street by
Col. A. c. Brown and returns at the
Apollo club and the newspaper Offices
attracted large crowds. No work was
attempted last night in any of the com.
mittee rooms, as too much interest was
taken in the election.

The State Republican boasts that
the Republicans made heavy gains
in the "black belt," (among the
more ignorant class of negroes) even
though Judge Gibbs and other
leading negro politicians of the
state refused to vote for Taft, and
that ''it is question Of only a short
time until the Republicans will
again gain control of the state
government in Arkansas" I'm
mediately following this was an
announcement from Little Rock to
the effect that Powell Clayton had
arrived in town to distribute the
federal pie, and all the Republican
politicians of the state were called
in to consult with him about the
matter. Now, the question is, how
can the Republican party ever hope
to win anything in Arkansas so
long as Powell Clayton is at its head
and the ignorant "niggers" in the
black belt are depended upon to do
the bulk Of the voting. That a
majority of the white voters in
Arkansas, without regard to party
fealty, are in favor of a white mans
government everybody knows, and
that a great big majority of our
citizens will ever be found voting
against a party which is solely
dominated by old Powell Clayton,
every school boy knows. In the
face of these facts we fail to see
how the Republicans hope to ever
get back into power in Arkansas.
