The Farmers of Vermont Settle It. . a. The Vermont election on Tutsday, [more distinctly marked the beginning of the end of the Bryan campaignithan has ever been ' indicated in any of our past contests by preliminary State elec- tions. When’Vermont polls the largest vote ever cast and gives nearly or quite 40,000 majority instead of from 18,000 to 25,000, it means not only that the Republicans of that State are earnestly united in support of their national can- eidates and cause, but that the Demo- crats are disintegr'ated and demoralized, with a very large percentage of their voters deserting to the Republican ranks. The Vermont election is especially significant as It is, the first expression from the forming element of the country. Vermont is more distinctly an agricul- tural State than any other State between Maine and the Mississippi. Nearly or quite one-half the election districts of Vermont have a population wholly devoted to agriculture, and yet in not one of these districts did the Republi- can party fail to largely increase its majority. Not only the Republican farmers of Vermont, but the Democratic farmers largely as well, have made common cause to maintain the honor and in- tegrity of the republic. 'ihe lesson in Vermont will be most impressive tlroughout agricultural circles in the whole country. It means that along the whole line of the Middle and’ Northwestern States, where the farmers have been expected to desert their Own individual integrity for the purpose of destroying the integrity and prosperity of the nation, the Republi- can farmers will stand for horest money, and side by side with them will be hundreds of thousands of honest Democratic flil'mtl'ei who understand that the term can be prosperous only \when the nation is prl sperous, and that no nation can prosper that is stained with dishonor. The Vermont election isasettler, and it means that Bryan will be the worst defeated candidate for President who has ever been nomi- nated by any one of the two grett opposing parties of the nation. Magnanimous John A. Porter. Within, thirty minutes after the vote for Governor was taken in the Conven- tion Wednesday, Mr.Por‘. er’s 1 aper, the Hartford Post, was on the streets with the following ringing endorsement of the successful nominee. The. Conven- tion was treated to a flood of argument and oratory in support of Porter’s just .claims to the nomination but he falls outside the breastworks like a gallant knight as he is.- This is the style of man and Republican that John A. Por- ter is : . Nomination of Hon. Lorrin A. Cooke. “The nominee of the Republican party for governor, Hon. Lorrin A. Cooke, is so well known as to scarcely need introduction to our readers. He is a man of winning personality, who makes friends and holds them. Affable and approachable, he can be trusted to per- form. the duties of any office entrusted to him with excellence and tact. For many years he has been a prominent and loyal member of the party. His re-entrance into politics two years ago, when he-was named for lieutenant-gov- ernor, made him many new friends. Mr. Cooke lives in one of the largest counties of the state. According to the system of representation still in vogue 'in Connecticut, this has been a decided advantage to him in the contest just closed. The heart of the country pep- ple has just been divided in its loyalty toward the leading candidates but the' preponderance has been, as it proves, in Mr. Cooke’s favor. He ought to be as proud of it as he is, for no better constituencies dwell anywhere than in the country towns of this grand old commonwealth of ours. But what shall be said of the cities and large towns? Their loyalty, blended with the loyalty ofminy little towns, to the candidate of Windham county, will be long ap- preciated and gratefully remembered. If this loyalty was in opposition to Mr. Cooke in the convention, it will be for him to the very last with all the power at its disposal at the polls in November. We predict Mr. Cooke’s election by an'overwhelming maj ority—even larger than that cast for Governor Coffin two years ago. The majority then was over 17,000. It is confidently believed that it will be over 30,000 this year. . The campaign has now opened in earnest and every loyal Republican will urge on the column to certain and phenominal victory.” l Silver Won’t Catch the Farmer. No intelligent, honest American Far- 'mer will be caught with a Bryan ticket in his hand on Election Day it he has read or heard these words of Ex-Presi- dent Harrison: "It would work very well for the farmer if by the free coin-- age of silver the prices of wheat, hay, oats and rye would double, and nothing else would double; but if everything doubled who is the richer; who is rich- er than he was before? Only the man who bought when we had an honest dollar and paid in a debased one; only the mine owner, who uses this Govern- ment to add 50 cents to the value of every dollar’s worth of metal that he produces frdm his mine.” Lt In Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. — Li Hung Chang, his suit and the government’s representative, Major General Ruger, ar- rived here from New York today on a spe- cial train of six cars. The train was stop- ped at Germantovan Junction, and here L'i Hung Chang alighted. Great preparations ‘had been made for his reception. Broad street from Germantown Junction to Chestnut, a distance of three miles, was roped of! and the street kept clear by squads of police. Superior Mine, Burning. HURLEY, Wis., Sept. 4.—-The Slips ioi mine, one mile west of here, is burn 118.: The fire was discovered coming out of one of the shafts, which soon was completely destroyed. The fire is supposed to be near the fourth loyal and spreading both ways.‘ There is no way to fight the tire except to cover all the openings and smother it, which will take a month. THE lNSPlRATION OF" WM‘B’E‘RS.‘ "An Orator Rose to Apologize, but Pro- ceeded With His Oration. One of the peculiarities of the crater- ical temperament is that it is subject to what our grandmothers called “va- pors,” or depression of spirit. In such a mood at molehill seems a mountain, and a grasshopper is a. burden. Mental effort is impossible, and an engagement to speak in public as repugnant as the sound of the dinner gong to a seasick passenger. The only cure for such an attack of spleen is to get, by hook or crook, the orator before the audience, where the excitement will put him mentally and physically on his feet. In 1859 Thomas Corwin, Ohio’s most eloquent orator, had consented to de- liver the oration at the celebration of the Fourth of July on the Tippecanoe battle grounds. The night before the celebration Mr. Corwin called his son. in-law, Mr. Sage, to his room and told .‘him that he had been unable to sleep and. was much discouraged about. his address the next day. He had tried to think over his speech, but his memory had failed him, and he was afraid he would make a failure. His son-in-law advised him to dismiss his speech from his mind and go to sleep. But he felt so indisposed that ‘he announced his inability to speak. The mar- shal of the day finally per- suaded him to ride over to the” grounds and take a seat on the plat- form, whence he ”might explain to the people why he was unable to deliver the oration, and thus lessen their disap- pointment. \ At the proper time Mr. Corwin rose to make his apology; but as he looked over the audience of forty thousand persons, that “sea of upturned faces” stirred both body and‘brain. He made a few commonplace remarks; and then struck upon the first sentence of the manuscript he had prepared. “It is all right; he Will speak,” whis- pered Mr. Sage to the president of the day. , It was all right; the orator went on and spoke for two hours. The manu- script he had prepared was the intro- duction of a speech—a page and a half of legal cap—Which Mr. Sage had read the day before. The audience made the sick man well and an orator again. ,5, New Scheme For Prize Eights. Authorities on maritime law having given it as their opinion that the stat- utes of 'the United States governing prize ring contests do not extend be- yond the usual international three-mile limit, Mr. Brady proposes to form a club, under whose auspices all meet- ings shall hereafter be held, on the high seas. Brady suggests the building of a .special craft, very broad and strong, on which to hold these contests. The cost, he thinks, wil. be about $15,000. Such a boat would accomodate 1,000 persons at $50 per head.——New York Journal. rilla,“SalesTalk,”and I al k show that this medi- cine has enjoyed public confidence and patronage to a greater extent than accord- ed any other proprietary medicine. This is simply because it possesses greater merit and produces greater cures than any other. It is not what we say, but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story.
