Becausic of so rauoh tnisinformatlon tbat
hns been aent out regardlng bla attitudo
towards McKinley, Senator Proctor bas
written tbe Rutland Herald tbo followlng:
" Gontlemon, it seema unnoceaaary to dony
tho report in your poper tbat I telcgraphed
Mr. Manley tbat tho Vermont delegates at
Bt. Louls would voto for Mr. Reod, not
witbstandlng tbe action of tbo conventlon.
I boo tbe samo report in tbe Boaton Journal,
altbough I wired tbat papor from Mont
pelier tbat Vermont was now unltod for
McKinloy. I do not recall evor sonding a
telegram of any kind to Mr. Manloy; cor
tainly I bavo not for a yoar paat, and every
word I bavo wlrod, written or apokon slnce
tbe conventlon bas bcon to tbo sarae effect
of my dispatcb to tbo Journal. I shall do
my utmost to seouro tbe nomination of
Major McKlnloy at St. Louls. I atn bappy
to say, bowevor, tbat lt looks as tbougb not
mucb work would bo needod; tbat his notn
lnatlon is already socured."
As a samplo of tbe misleadlng Informa"
tion that bas been publiahod in tbe nows
papers of tho largo citics regardlng tbo po
lltical situation in Vermont, tbo followlng
from tbo Washington Post is a caaoin point.
J. II. Wilcy of Vermont, wboever bo may
be, profeased to bo on tbo cround lloor re-
gardlng tbo correct situation, ln reapect of
tho action of tbo Stato Rcpublican Convon
tion held last week, and in an intorview
vrlth a Post roportcr, laat Frlday, bo sald:
" To one conversant witb tbo situation
tbere, it would bave been moro of a aur-
Srise if tbe conventlon bad lnstnicted for
eed instoad of McKinley. Vermont haa
but little in common witb tbe rest of Now
England. Soclally and commorcially her
Seople are allied witb New Yorlc. Her
uaineas men go to Now York ten times
whero tbey viait Boston once. Henco tbere
was little or no sectional prlde for tbo fa
vorito son of Maine. It was known, too,
tbat Senator Proctor was not bowllng hluv
self boarso for tbe spoakor, and, wben it
comes down to tbo cold facts, whatever Red
fleld Proctor wants up thore is bls. Ho con
trols publlo sentiment, and bad be wanted
tbe conventlon to indorse Reod tbo indorae
ment would bavo boen fortbcotning."
