Vermont Legislature May be
Away From Nov. Is to Is
THAT is THE TALK JUST NOW
No More Appropriation Bills Will Be
Put Through Till the Last Part Of
Session--Republican Solons
Joked by Democrats.


ocratic success in almost every state
where an election was held were not
received at the State House, that strong
hold OF Republicanism, with that degree
Of gloom that the few Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature evidently deemed
BETTING the occasion, for they found
hard work extracting any satisfaction
out OF men Of the opposite political faith
who received the news with 80 much
cheerfulness. Very few there were 10
say they were not satisfied with the
result, and long faces were conspicuous
by their absence.
The Democratic club held sort of
jolliication meeting in the evening and
shook hands with each other over the
good news, and, take it all in all, the
State House was about as cheerful a
place politically as there was to be found
in the country yesterday. On top Of it
all came Gov Mead's Thanksgiving proc
lamation, which officially announced that
there we're many things to be thankful
for besides the Democratic success.
Adjournment from November Is to %
without pay is now being talked. and
State Treasurer Deavitt is making prep
arations to give the members part of
their pay before they go home. II his
plans are not changed, each member
will receive check for SlT5, to allow
him to get out of town for the Thanks
giving recess and possible leave him
enough to buy turkey for the festai
day.
Now that the bill carrying an appro-
priation for $4,000 annually for the
boards Of agriculture and forestry has
gone through. it is announced that no
more appropriation bills are to go
through until they can all be put in
the last week of the session, No one
seems to know Just why an exception
was made in favor OF this particular bill,
and it shows for one thing that the bill
was skillfully handled to slide through,
as il did, with absolutely no friction.
OF course, the governor has not signed
it yet, but there is no question but that
he will, unless some glaring error should
be discovered in the measure.
Men interested in the future welfare
Of the Republican party are bringing all
the influence they can exert TO induce
the senators to recede from their support
of the Cllshman bin and favor some sort
Of measure which will carry out to
the letter the pledges made by the party
platform. The election news of yester-
day morning has had wholesome ef-
feet, and it is thought probable that be-
fore Friday enough more senators will
see the matter in the right light. Sem
ator Archibald. the leader OF the adgo-
Gates OF the Cushman bill, says that
as far as platforms are concerned the
man who wrote the platform for the
Bennington county convention is the very
same man who drafted the Cushmau bill
and who is urging him to stand by it,
The calling OF the yeas and nays on
the question OF reconsideration Of the
vote passing the school bill yesterday
afternoon is an indication OF how time
is being wasted The bill was passed
by rising vote in the forenoon, the
vote standing 03 to l0l. This was so
close the opponents Of the bill could
not give up and insisted on call of the
House on the motion to reconsider Mr.
Dartt OF Springfield gave the House some
good advice when he told them that
il was foolish to Keep on reconsidering
votes, unless il was apparent some big
mistake had been made He said that ii
it was persisted in, the members would
be there the next Fourth Of july The
deeisiveness Of the vote and the remarks
that were made viii probably make re-
considerations more difficult in the fu-
ture
