4 NEWS AND CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER "13, 1894! News' and Citizen; MORRIS VI ULE and HYDE PARK. I. H. LEWIS, - EDITOR. For the great vietorj of last wet-k, much credit is due the Republican State Committee.. True, there were no sky rockets or brass bands, but there was a quiet active campaign, every movement on the political chess-board being skilfully handled by the committee and its excellent chairman. There is always a vast amount of work in the way of plan ning and directing which requites good generalship, and from the re sults obtained it is very evident that the committee performed every duty and that no mistake was made in placing Hon. Olin Merrill at its head. In this connection also we believe the work of the press thould not be over looked. The Republican papers throughout the State did a most excellent service for the ticket. From the day of the convention down to election day every one of them were etrong and hearty in their advocacy of the ticket, the party and its prin ciples. "While good work is always expected from the press it is seldom that its services are complimented, yet on this occasion we believe its good work has been heartily appre ciated. Another son of Vermont who has located in the West is giving a good account of himself. The person re ferred to is Geo. Edmund Foss, a ris ing young lawyer of Chicago,whohas just been nominated to represent the 7th district of that city in Congress. He was born in St. Albans 31 years, ago, but as soon as he completed his education, some ten years ago, he lo cated in Chicago and is recognized as one of the leading young lawyers of that city. As the nomination is equivalent to an election it is all the more evident that the young attor ney is held in high regard by the Re publicans of his district. The Inter Ocean says of him : He is another example of the new blood of the Republican party that is coming to the front. His standing among the Green Mountain State's representatives in Chicago may be interred from the fact that he is vice president of the Sons of Vermont So ciety, and is recognized by that or ganization as a young man with a very promising future. This week the G. A. R. national en campmeut is holding forth at Titts burg. While the attendance is not as large as on previous occasions the vets are there in goodly numbers. The occasion is graced by the pres ence of many of the old war leaders, and the reunion of the boys in blue, like its other gatherings, will be a memorable event. The Grand Army of 1 he Republic has seen its largest encampment and the ranks are fast thinnine: out, yet there is an abund ance of glory and patriotism left. Far distant be the day when these encampments shall end. The election last week was the first popular verdict on "perfidy and dis honor," Hnd not only rolled up a magnify ent majority for the gallant one-amied veterans at the head of ticket, but emphatically shows how Vermont stands on the tariff ques tion. With wool and lumber on the free list, the duties on Canadian farm products greatly reduced and the bounty on maple sugar abolished, the farmers of Vermont were dealt a hpavy blow, and in return they have severely pummelled the Democratic administration. The Democratic sugar planters of Louisiana repudiate the action, of Congress in wiping out the"sugar bounty and declare they will join forces with the Republicans. If this is carried out Beveral Congressional districts now represented by Demo crats will elect Republicans. Great interest is taken in the movement and the leading Democrats fear they will not be able to stop the revolu tion. Maine had its election Monday and followed the good example set it by Vermont. The State ticket is elected by the largest majority on record about 35,000 and all four of the Congressmen, including Tom Reed, by majorities ranging from 8,000 to to 10,000. Cleveland times, :free tttitfo and sugar trtste did the busi ness. The several States that hold elections in November will continue the good work. The Legisla ture should make pro vision for the payment of ballot clerks. They are required to work as hard as anybody about the polls, and ought to receive as mscb pay at hxistr as th town clerk. - Robert J., the noted pacer, lowered his record 1 eronds at Indianapo lis last Thursday making the phe nomenal t'me of 2:02V The two minuta horse is surely coming. For the first time in its history, the women of. Colorado will have the privilege of voting tor Governor this fall. The influence tliey will exert upon politics will be wiitclied with in terest by outsiders. Gov.-elcct Woodbury will spend considerable time in visiting the va rious State institutions previous to his inauguration. The Governor in tends to know what he is talking about when he delivers his inaugural address. Stowe cast the largest vote of uny town in the State for the Populist candidate for Governor ,"4 exceed ing even Burlington and Rutland. The former cast 53 and the latter 45 votes. We do not believe either of these places will contend with Stowe for the distinction she has thus at tained. . Gov.-elect Woodbury in a recent letter concerning the election, says: "Lamoille county did very hand somely, for which I am gratified. I believe that our large majority will be very helpful to our brother Re publicans in every State. It is this, rather than any personal gratifica tion, that gives me satisfaction." In our list of Representatives pub lished last week we made a mistake regarding the member elected from Elmore. W. W. Delano was the suc cessful man, and a most woitby Rep resentative in him will Elmore have. H. II. Churchill whose name we pub lished is not elected a Representative, but is elected as an associate judge. If there is anybody who should feel esppcially grateful for the handsome vote given him at the last election, it is Mr. E. C. White, Lamoille county's efficient Judge of Trobate. The fact that he was endorsed by both parties is sufficient evidence that he performs his duties well and satisfactorily. He received 2,308 votes not one in op position. 1 The publication in the Argus for several weeks, at first in a garbled condition and then afterwards cor rectly, of an extract from Col. Wood bury's address at the State conven tion, proved a veritable boomerang. It did the business in correct thape. The Republicans of Vermont owe the Arerus a vote of thanks for the aid it thereby gave the party in the late campaign. The chief reason that labor in the United States has achieved the high position which it holds has been the protection of Ameiican industry against pcuper labor competition. Republican protection has built up American industrial independence and enabled American working men in every walk of life to earn higher wages than the workingmen of any other country. The result of the election simply shows that the Republicans turned out in force, in ref-ponse to the fren zied appeals ma'ie by their party leaders, while the Democrats in many instances stayed at home. Argus. And pray, why did the Democrats stay at home? Was it not because of disgust with the manner in which their party has managed the affairs of the nation since it assumed con trol ? , The Sweep In Vermont. Returns from all towns in the State received show the Republican major ity to be 27,310 and the plurality 28,350. Official returns will change these figures very little. , , analysis: ' 1894.

THE STATE VOTE. Corrected returns from all towns of Lamoille county give IT. A. Wood bury a majority of 1,302, an increase of 324 over the mojorityot twoyears ago. The increase iu total Republican vote over two years ixzo is 107, while the decrease in total Democratic vote is 15)1. The Prohibition vote is al most entirely wijed out there being but six votes cast while two years ago the vot was 58. The rnnin cause of this decrease iH probably ow ing to the fact that the Prohibition ticket was not placed on the official ballot, lift a use of the failure to file nominations with the Secretary of State. The Populiets had no St ite ticket two years ago, but this year they poll 100 votes in this county. For Representative in Congress Judge Powers has a majority of 1,445 327 increase over two years ago. The increase in total vote cast for him is 153, while the decrease of the opposition is 137. The Judge may well feel proud of the magnifi cent support given him by his county. Out of a total vote of 2,305 he re ceived all but 430. It shows that he is held in high regard by his home people. Taken altogether Lamoille county has cast a magnificent vote and coming as it does largely fr6m the farming people, it cannot be taken otherwise than as a rebuke to the Democratic administration. ' THE COUNTY VOTE. The county vote shows up just as finely as the State vote. Capt. Ken field's majority for Senator is 1,402, one of the largest we believe any per son ever received for that office. Sheriff Stevens, who received a ma jority of 99G two years ago, this year has 1,411 an increase of over 400. Nobody but a very popular and efficient person could receive such a vote. And so we might'go through the entire ticket and give comparisons, but as space forbids and as we give the entire vote in tab ulated form elsewhere, it is sufficient for us to say, All honor to the Re publicans of Spunky Lamoille for the handsome vote given your ticket from head to foot. 5CtL-,KCi:f -tnN g B o o - o C Han " "f 1 M N N C? r-. r-i r-i e4!'IA c- is c: k oi -t m cs MnnSK5lntl S? jf PUIKI l-fSS-CCMSS ' ' 8J00IATIJI e;ccisi-!r.r-o c: nMMSnnH ; simi m I-1? i.t i-i is es it x e: oe r-l 'i-r-cr.: i-c. .

Vermont has outdone the most suiiguine hojM s jf the party outside of the State, and her voice in Septem Iwr is a prophecy of what is goiujr to happen in November, wherever a free ballot and a lair count aj-e permitted. flU-a, X. Y., Herald. The emphasis with w hich Vermont has recorded its vote is no encour aeuieui to Republicans all over the country to continue the fight for pro tection with renewed vigor. It shows that the farmer, the manufacturer, and the wage earner, irrespective of pirty, are determined this fall to nave another change. Albany Journal. Vermont has 6pe)ken; and its de cision is similar to that ef New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and other States of the northeast in which the people have had an opper tunity to manifest their feeling siu.re the beginning of the tariff struggle at Washington last December. New York Press. Vermont has spoken, and her ver dict is worthy of her fame as a gal lant State, ever in the forefront of the Republican ranks and never fal tering in the Republican cause. Ver mont has triven the Cleveland-British cause its Ticonderoga.and New York will follow with another Saratoga. All hail to the State of Ethan Allen and the Ureen Mountain Boys 1 Burlington Daily News. The extraordinary uprising in Ver mont on Tuesday means that the country is tired of Democratic rule and Democratic methods. If the Vermont vote can be taken as an in dex the next Congress will be Repub lican and the strange wave which swept over the country two years ago will have spent itself. Itmust not be expected, however, that all the States will show the satne'pro portionate change as Vermont. This State has always been strongly for protection and now Bhe has waked up to rebuke the party office trade. Springfield Republican. Popular dissatisfaction with the delays and bickerings of the Demo cratic majority at Washington in acting upon vital public questions has unquestionably been intense all over the country; and it must have been particularly strong in Vermont, where the high tariff policy has the deepest root in popular support, and the wool tariff' policy in particular has been most strongly supported. The result t-hows, nevertheless, that the Democrats must do wonders in the way of justifying popular confi dence in that party if they are to escape an overwhelming defeat in the Congressional elections of November. Brattlehoro Tlia-nix. Whenever any national issue has been at stake Vermont has never failed to respond by lending the way in the fall elections with a majority which furnished an index of the sen timent of northern voters. This year is no exception. Not since 1872 has the vote of the State had greater significance. There is no need to dis cuss the reasons which have prompt ed the people of the State to giy a majority of 28,000 in round nutn beisto the Republican ticket. The size of the Republican voteas some thing to be expected. The ouly sur prise of the election is the almost uni versal indiffereuce shown by the Ver mont Democrats, who have always heretofore taken their medicine, no matter how drastic. But even Ver mont Democracy cannot counte nance or endorse the result of two years of Democratic misrule. ' Boston Journal. Vermont is a rturdy Republican commonwealth, but the nze of its Republican plurality is variable, and as its State election comes two months in advance of those of most of the other States, the result has al ways been curiously watched for by persons who are eager to observe the tendency of the political barometer. Vermont is a State of well-informed and thoughtful men, who Are proba bly far more familiar with national affairs than the bulk of our urban population. They read, study and decide for themselves. It was their privilege to render the first verdict upon the Thimblerig tariff .act. this year, and no community in the land could be found better qualified to perform that duty. Vermont's hand some Republican plurality, exceeding the average figure of "off years," is an emphatic warning of the coming of the November avalanche. New York Sun. The Democratic candidate for Gov ernor was George Washington Smith of Smithfield, on the Smith turnpike. Appeal was made, unavailingly, as the early returns from the seat of strifrt show, to the family spirit of the Smiths. This was, so to speak, the trump Democratic card in Ver mont in a year when, as everybody understands, collateral, unusual and unforeseen side issues are the thing to break up nud overpower the Re publicans. Here was a skillfully chosen side issue, quite apart from the tariff, the income tax, foreign re lations or the sugar trust the 'mui of Smith. But it didn't work. The Republican Smiths of Vermont held aloof from their family namesake, even with the patriotic prefix of George Washington. They did not vote for him despite the determina tion of the Smith ' family of the Unit ed States, in convention not very long ago, to hotd together; and so it happens that, Tike the light which failed, Candidate Smith, with the hol iViiHK-racy of Vermont back of him, was snuffed out. New York Tribune. The election in Vermont is always pronounced by Democratic journals "the UMial thing," but it is the fart that the rise and fall of the Republi can majorities in that State have corresponded closely w ith the force of public opinion in other Northern States. Full Republican majorities there have always indicated a state of feeling which has resulted in Re publican vietories in most of the doubtful States and districts of the North, while Republican apathy or general discontent with the Republi can policy has been manifested in Vermont with equal clearness. The election this year indicated no such feeling. The early despatches show that the majority is not far from JJ0, 000, which isextraordinarily large and for the last 20 years unprece dented, although in 1872 and 1808 somewhat larger majorities were given w ith the w ar issue predominant. Since parties have taken their pres ent form the Republican strength has never been relatively greater in the Green Mountain State than it seems to be this year. In this there is noth ing surprising. The people of Ver mont have king been strongly de voted to the protection of American industries, and their close acquaint ance with Canadian wages and con ditions of labor and living have pre pared them intelligently to resent a change of policy which the Canadians hail with elelight. A Johnson Boy's Success. Gov. Sheldon of South Dakota is a native of Johnson, this county, lie began life a poor boy and by per severance and pluck has been very successful. He is the present Governor and is a candidate for renomination. He tells the ttory of his life as fol lows : "I was born in the village of John son, Lamoille county, Vt., on Septem ber 12, 1850. My father died when I was four years old, leaving my moth er and four little children, one older and two younger than myself. Loss of property immediately after his death left us very poor. I lived at home until I was eight years old, at tending school as a child in a New England village would. Then I went to live with a farmer; lived with him eight years, attending school two months, sometimes three, in winter. When I was 14 years old I wanted to attend one term at the academy in the village where I was born, and asked permission of the farmer with whom I lived. He told me 'no,' and Faid to me, 'you are a better scholar now than I am. I am good enough for all practical purposes. If .-ou will stay with me until you are 21 years old I will give you $100 and a tuit of clothes. If you go away you will never be worth $100 in your life.' "I went away and went to work in what was known as aunionstore,one of the co operative stores at that time in New England. Worked a year for my board, two months' schooling in the winter, and $20. My mother made my clothes. I suppose I bought some part of the material. I bought what 1 wore on my feet and on my head and outof the $20 saved exactly $12, which I gave to my mother. After that 1 worked on fams in summer, sawed wood for the people in the village in the spring of the ytar, attended school two and one-half terniH at the academy, and when I was 17 years old taught my first school in the winter for $1G per mouth and boarded aiouud through the district so many days for each scholar. 1 then went to work for a merchant in the village where I was born for three years, then went into the employ of a merchant in a neigh boring vijlage. From his store en listed; was mustered into the service as a private in E company, seventh Vermont volunteer infantry, and was mustered out as Captain of I com pany, after neaily four and one-half years' service. ' "Alter the war I lived for eleven years in southern Illinois: married the daughter of the Hon. George W. Waters. Two children were born to us, we were prosperous and happy, but eighteen months stripped me of my wile, both children, and every cent of money I was worth. I was married asat'n in 1875 to my present wife. In 1877 we moved to Paducah, Ky., and lived there three years. Came to this State in the winter of 1881. Served in the council of, the Territory in the winter of 1886 and 1887. Attended my first State con vention at Mitchell in 1800, of which convention I was permanent chair man. Canvassed the State that fall in the interest of Republicanism; again the next fall for Mr. Jolley.who was candidate for Congress to fill the term of Hon. John R. Gamble, de ceased. Was nominated for Govern or at Mndisou in 1892, and am now a candidate for renomination." Economize.

A Plea for District Representation. Bihtor News ami Citizen: Dear Sin: I write to KueHt bnt nnefTort lie made at the cominn oeKHion of legislature to have the bams of representation changed from towns to districta. That would, in a meanire, do away with the idiotic equabble enacted in some towns at every election of reireeiitaive. The principle Keems to pre vail that without regard to n'tnecs, if only some one will lend himself so that a few can beat someone ele, that is all that is required. A few will have their way by hook or crook. Sometimes the bolting candidate gets left after all, and then he is politically dead, kill ed by so-called friends who have no fur ther use for him. Serves him right, we say. Sometimes the Democratic candidate gets elected by want, of union in the Kepubli can ranks. Serves them right again. Such management is demoralizing to our youth, and the intelligence of our Legislature is de terioating. The Inst one wag a laughing stock. What will the next be? Themunage ment at the election reminds one of nothing so much as the late Congress, who legislate like a lot of boys, what one wanted the other wouldn't Lave on any condition, and two or three run every thing to suit themselves. Let something be done to preserve the Ver mont Legislature that it may be kept on a par with other states. Oiiskrver.
