VOL. NO. 211. ESTABLISHED 1831. "1 uTr flit ft MEAT INSPECTOR, ONE MAY BE NEEDED HERE Compulsory Education Each Has Its Turn City Hall.

An ordinance has been introduced in both brandies of city Councils authorizing the Mayor to appoint a meat inspector, whose term, shall be three years. This ordinance makes it the duty of the inspector to inspect all fresh beef, pork, mutton, lamb, veal and other fresh meats and poultry, also all smoked meat and fish offered or exposed for sale at any place within the city or at the public markets. If upon such inspection! any meat, poultry or tisb shall be found to be diseased, tainted, spoiled or otherwise affected so as to be unwholesome or unfit for use it shall be the duty of the inspector to remove and destroy it at the expense of the lerson, firm or corporation having or offering the same for sale. The ordinance invests the inspector with all the powers and authority of a sanitary or police officer. Penalties are provided so as to make the ordinance effective.

It is provided that the salary of the inspector shall be $1,000 a year. This ordinance is endorsed by many of the leading dealers in meat and poultry and will probably go through without any r.erious opposition. There is no reason why it should not, inasmuch as there is not a department of the public health that should be so carefully guarded as that affected by the sales of diseased meat. Harrisburg is growing and this growth dangers arise to the public health which must be avoided by all the precautions that acn be legitimately taken. A meat inspector has been talked of in this city for several years and there is a public demand for such am official.

But he should be a man with good judgment and a back bone. The school authorities of Allegheny City have taken action on compulsory education which shows that the directors are business men and also that they mean business. The committee on compulsory education appointed a sub committee to formulate rules for the government of the truant officers, which officers are nominated by the committee and elected by the board of controllers. Under the rules the officers will be under the control of the committee and can be removed by the committee when deemed advisable. They will be on duty from 8 A.

M. until 5 and they will not be permitted to engage in any other occupation. They must rejHjrt to the parent and the principal of the district school the names and address of children not attending school or playing truant, and they will be required to report to the principal of one or more schools in their district, and perform such other duties as are required by law of them, under the direction of the superintendent, secretary or principal. No legal proceedings shall be instituted against any person standing in the parental relation without first consulting the members of the compulsory educational committee. The officers will be paid $2 per day for serving 250 days, and they will be required to make such reports as the superintendent may direct.

One officer will be elected for each district. The city has been divided into five districts, and has about 125,000 inhabitants. On one of the street car lines in Chicago one hundred trolley cars and two hundred old employes have been laid off lKic ause of the bicycle. The people who used to patronize the road to the suburbs and for the purpose of pleasure rides have purchased bicycles and unite travel with exercise now, so that the travel fell off so much as to compel the road towithdraw the cars and discharge the men. This is the first time the trolley has been driven out of the field.

First the stage coach drove out the pack horse, then the canal drove out the coach and it in turn was superseded by steam. Steam' is displaced by the trolley and now along comes the bicycle and makes the trolley hunt a hiding place. The next thing, we suppose, will be the cheapening of horseless wagons so that almost any man can keep one in his back yard and take his family out at a moment's notice, and then goodbye to the bike. Well, why not buy the ground and erect a city hall instead of renting places for a makeshift? This city should long ago have had a city hall, under the roof of which all the various departments could transact their business. This thing of chasing all over the city to find city departments is a relic of bygone days.

We are progressing, and we ought to progress in this matter as in other things. The city of Williamsport has a splendid structure devoted to the city departments, and Harrisburg can take an example from the Lumber City. Bicycle Feature. There's the bicycle face, and the bicycle back, With its queer, nltitudinous curve. And the bicycle tongue, in the middle hung, And the scorcher's bicycle nerve.

Harrisburg Gamblers lu County. Cumberland Communicated. 1 A number of Harrisburg young men nre in rue uinibit or coming to the Cumber land side of the Susquehanna on the Sab bath day, and going to the top of the hill above Wormleysburg to the old fort, and there they spend the day in playing cards, KiHMMiiig crap unu otner games or enunee.

The good citizens of the vicinity having become tired or it they, will have a few arrests made in the near future, and see what effect it will have on the purlieu. They think that Harrisburg gamblers and roughs ought to stay on their own side of the river. There are often boys with these roughs, and it might be well for Harrisburg parents to know where their boys lire on the Sabbath. Trouble is ahead for somebody.

TUB ABCOFU, Tlie Financial Question lade Exceed lnfjljr Plain. New York Lumber Trade Journal. Let us not get mixed up with complex matters in connection with the free silver idea. Let us not befog our brain with arguments about the crime of '73, or bother with the many theories which the advocates of free silver are giving us. But let us take a common sense view of the situation.

Now, to start with. Suppose Bryan was elected and the free coinage act had been passed, and that free coinage was an actual fact. Suppose that silver could be taken to the mint and coined into silver dollars, at the ratio of 10 to 1. How would that affeect us? We haven't got any silver coin. A whole lot of people who own silver mines have it, and so they could have it coined into 16 to dollars; but, not having any ourselves, we could not have a solitary, single dollar coined under the free silver act.

Now suppose, however, that all the silver mine owners and others who had silver took it all to Washington or Philadelphia, or to some other United States mint and had it coined into lG to 1 dollars, and Suppose so much had been coined that all the silver in the world was made into 10 to dollars, and Suppose that every one of these dollars was piled in one heap right on the next block, and Suppose every single one of them was worth one hundred cents here and everywhere. What good would they do us unless we had something we trade by which we could get Well, we have something to trade; everybody has. Some have labor, so much tor a dollar. Some have lumber, so much for a dol lar. Some have sugar or potatoes or hams or coal or something else, all so much for a dollar.

We have advertising and subscriptions, so much for a dollar. When we want one of those silver dollars, we cannot go and take it; they don't belong to us; they belong to the men who took the silver to the mint to be coined. If we took one, it would be stealing. If we asked for one for nothing, it would be begging. If the owners gave us one for nothing, it would be a gift.

If we borrowed one. it would cost us interest, arid so Most of us, to get one. must trade labor, lumber, sugar, coal, advertising or something to get it. This is absolutely and honestly so, isn't it? Well, being so. why do we take any chances on the dollar? We can get gold now.

It is worth 100 cents on a dollar everywhere. So we have supposed the silver to be, but Suppose it isn't. What then? What is the use of taking a chance unless we can do better? A silver dollar won't be worth more than 100 cents, will it? We are getting that now. Let well enough alone. Some say duty compels a Democrat, to back up and vote for Democrat.

You have Bryan's word that he is no Democrat. Let him dare deny that he said it. Some say it is pretty bad now. We might as well take a chance. It can't be worse.

What kind of tomfoolery is this? When our baby lay at death's door, did we do any experimenting? We tried everything which could cure, but we did not experiment. Are things bad in a business way? Let us tell you something to try Vote down this crowd of repudiators. Tell the world in trumpet tones in No vemlter that we want the best money, that we will take no other, and business will revive. Let the capital out that Bryan and his followers have scared under cover and prosperity will come. Why Bryan Should be Beaten.

From Henry Cabot Lodge's Latest Speech. When I see the masters of a great nairty in a great national convention ap peal to sectional feeling, denounce their brother Americans, and even call from its grave the mouldering corpse of buried secession, I look upon those men as false to the principles of patriotism and unfit to be trusted. When 1 hear the candi date of one great party speak to a part of the united States as "the enemy's coun try," I know that he ought to be defeated as no candidate has ever been defeated before. When I read the letter of another ca ndi date and find that he denounced section alism: and looks with equal love on all parts of our country, and, swayed by political feeling, pleads for union and unity, I know that he is a patriot, that he will govern as he fought, nni that the next President of the United States should be, aye, will be, William McKin ley. Next to the unity of my country I hold sacred the power given to the nation's lhier Magistrate by the Constitution which has made that unity a fact and preserved it against all cornea's.

Next. to the unity mnd power of the United States I set the authority of tier courts. The Supreme Court of the United States has commanded the admiration of the civil lzed world. For more than 11 JO years it has sat at the Capitol and held the bal ance between contending interests and battling passions. It has interpreted the Constitution and done justice between man and man.

It is human and not infal lible, but in loftiness of character and equity of judgment it has come as near completeness as any human tribunal can ever come. Respect for the court and acceptance of their decisions have been one of the mighty bulwarks of the Republic. Never before have they been openly and wanton ly a ssailed. Now comes a great party and denounces the courts.and proposes to pull down the Supreme Court and all the courts of the United States, drag their ermine in the dust and pack them to suit the whim of the passions of a fleeting political majority. A party capable of such a policy deserves the reprobation of all patriotic men, and should be beaten to the earth.

Tom Watson's Rehearsal. Thompson (Ga.) Special to Atchison Globe. A very pitiful scene was enacted here this morning. It was noticed at day break that Tom Watson's house was decorated elaborately, and while the people didn't know the occasion, thev reckon ed he did it for a political move. Judge of their surprise to see him aniear on his front porch at noon, dressed in a.

spike taiied coat, with a big rosette in his buttonhole. He made an elaborate bow. though there was no one In sight, and went through the motion of shaking hand with some one. After these motions Tom stood as if listening to a speech that pleas ed him. In a few moments he made si bow of acknowledgment and then delivered a most thrilling address.

The poor fel low had gone through the pantomime of receiving the notification committee, and his address was in the form of an accept once. After ho had concluded he went down into the garden, gathered a few nowers and, going back to the porch, began throwing bouquets at himself. The sight was so extremely pitiful that the few people watching him broke down and cried when, in conclusion, he threw a kiss to the hundreds he imagined he saw in rront or him, made a bow and retired The poor fellow had read so much of what had happened to Brvan and Kewnll that his mind has given way under the strain. The Populist and His Ode. 'Neath the shade of a hay stack a Popu list sat, And trying to lighten his mind of a loud By humming the words of the following ode: Oh, for free silver, and, oh, for a change Oh, to get Sewaii in howitzer range: Oh, for a cocktail to fill up the tank! Oh, for a crack at the national bank! And so he kept oh ing for all he had not.

Not contented with owing for all that he'd got. Congressmen Kulp llenonilnatrd. Shamokin. Sept. 2.

The Thespic dove of peace hovers no longer over the councils of the Harris burg Dramatic Society, and there is a blot upon its once fair scutcheon, instead of one band of artists for art's sake, with the calcium light of genius beaming alike over all under the manipulation of Prof. Dumont, there are two bands and like that of Casey they both proiose to play on probably on the Opera House stage this winter. There has been a rift in the organization and this, too, while the blushing honors of their recent West End performance were still thick upon them. This caused it all the blushing honors. They grew so thick that they curdled.

Yesterday was the opening day of tha squirrel and reed bird season and many Harrisburg gunners were out. They returned last ttvening reporting indifferent success, which they blamed on the dry ness of the weather, the breezes that were blowing and various other excuses. Prob ably an absence of squirrels may have had something to do with it. About the biggest report of the day came from Wesley Shoie and companion, who knocked over some thirty five fine gray fellows in the mountains back of Doubling Gap Springs. Another gunner, name un known boarded a Hoffmans Woods car last evening with a round dozen which he had obtained in the woods back of Lucknow.

Emanuel Kissinger shot one gray squirrel and other hunters were equally ill favored. Among those who spent the day in the woods with a gun in their hands were Herman Hahn, A. L. Knull. Josh Gross.

"I hope to get Penn sylvania included in it," she said this morning. She is a rather tall, slim young woman, with a broad brow, from which closely cut hair rolls back in waves. Her face is tanned by several weeks driving in the sun.

Then she wears glasses, which lend to the sharnly cut nose and month an intellectual look. Her eyes are good, and when she talks it gives one the impression, that the captain would be able to weather any emergency. There is firmness in it. Capt. Cox's age is 20, but she seems anywhere from hve to six years older than that.

She has been in America for five years, coming from England, and ikes it. Last evening she talked at Grace M. t. Church before hundreds or people. and the six soldiers with her sang and played.

The man we have with us is with us merely to take care of the said the captain. "I drive the wagonette myself, except in cities where we give street parades. Then I ride the single horse." She held out a photograph of the brigade taken at Summit Grove camp. It th(i Pnrtl.in. on horseback with "1 i1 J5nk, cruits grouped around her.

She the Salvation Army work in this city is not effective as It should be. and hopes to get Pennsylvania transferred to her division to improve things. Speaking of the BallingtoQ Booth withdrawal she said the best of reelinc existed on both sides. Of course, the withdrawal has hurt us to some extent financially, be cause wo have lost some wealthy mends, but we hope to have the breach healed in time," she said. The brigade will remain in the city over Sunday.

Arrangements have not as yet been completed for Sat urday's and Sunday's meetings, but they will probably be held at either West End or Paxtang Park. Meetings will be held to night and to morrow evening in Grace M. is. Church HARRISON ISVIXClBLl S. All Members and Those Desiring to Join the Club Invited to Krport.

BRAGG AND BUCKNER DEMOCRATS AT INDIANAPOLIS They are Having a Patriotic Con ventionBrainy Delegates. The weather adapted itself to the oc casion of the assembling of the sound money National Democratic convention in Indianapolis this morning. Streams of golden sunshine lit up the streets of the Hoosier metropolis, while pleasant breezes prevented the heat from becoming op pressive, ine national committee held a meeting this morning and approved the action of the executive committee in the matter of temporary organization. There was no further business.

Indianapolis, Sept. 2. The National Democratic party convention was called to order at 12:27 by Senator Palmer, of Illinois, cuairman or the national com mittee. Senator Palmer was greeted with cheers and delegates stood in their places and waved handkerchiefs and flags. Sen ator rainier saiu ne had the honor to preside for a moment over the first Democratic National convention held this year.

Bishop John P. White, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, offered the opening prayer. Bishop White referred to the grave questions with which the na tion, is contronted and prayed that the people be given wisdom to choose between truth and falsehood, honesty and dishonesty, and asked that all the people be united for the good of the country and that peace, happiness, piety and justice be established for all time. Secretary Joseph Outbwaite, of Ohio, secretary of the national committee, read the call for the convention. Frequent outbursts of applause interrupted the reading of the call.

Nearly all the delegates' seats are occupied. There are 700 of them. About 2. 000 spectators are seated and others are constantly arriving. There seems to be no weakening of the sentiment in favor of the nomination of Generals Bragg and Buckner.

There is some talk of atterson. but he has no united following and his name may not even be formally presented. Senator Vilas has put a stop to the talk of substituting his name for that of Gen. Bragg, by stating that he wul not accept the nomination under any circumstances. The body of delegates has the appear ance of being the most brainv set of men that have gathered at any convention this year.

There are fewer professional poli ticians and more business men probably than has attended any National Conven tion in many years. The programme calls for a recess until 1 P. M. and a sec ond session to day. In all probability the convention will complete its work at one session to morrow.

The mention of Presi dent Cleveland name in the call produc ed am outbreak or applause and cheers. At the conclusion of the reading of the call the roll of States began. When the roll was nnishedi Senator an nounced that forty one States were rep resented. The Territories were then called. Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico responded.

Senator Palmer called for the report of the national committee and Mr. Bren nan, of Wisconsin, made the report. Ex liovernor Slower, of New York, was nominated for temporary chairman, and on assuming the gavel was loudly cheered. May Adopt a New Kame. It may be necessary for the convention to appoint an extra committee to consider the advisability of giving the party a new name.

There is a disposition on the part of a large majority of the dele gates to retain the name "National Democratic Party" on the ground that they constitute the real Democracy of the na tion, but there are legal objections in some States which, it is said, will make its nse impossible. When Uhairman Flower hnished his speech he was cheered and the roll of State was ordered for the usual State Committee. At 2:10 P. M. a recess was taken until 4 P.

M. The Committees on Credentials, Permanent Organization and Platform meets during the Pennsylvania Delegations.

Arrangements are being made to have him. visit Baldwin's Loco motive Works, the Pennsylvania Museum and Cramps' shipyard. This will consume the time until noon, when he will be taken to the Hotel Walton.

The Governor's staff, Major General Snowden's staff and Gen. Schall's staff have accepted invitations. The Viceroy and his suite, with his cooks, culinary outfit, sedan chairs and 300 pieces of baggage, accompanied by Major lieneral auger and his start and others who will be with the party, will arrive at Germantown Junction' at 10:10 o'clock in the morning.

In addition to the committee on reception which Mayor Warwick has apopinted, there will meet the Viceroy at the station fifteen Chinese merchants from Race street, headed by Mayor Lee Toy. They will be arrayed in their most gorgeous costumes of green and white silk. He liecelves the Newspaper Jtlen New York, Sept. 2. Li Hnng Chang this morning received a limited number of representatives of the press in his oartments at the Waldorf.

The news paper men were presented to the Viceroy bv Mr. HXl'ward ts. urew, commissioner of royal taxes in China. The much de scribed yellow jacket was not in evidence during the interview, the Viceroy being ttired in a costume of plum colored silk. The Ambassador was asked a number of questions.

He said he had been charmed with his visit but rerusea, on tne grouna of indelicacy, draw a comparison be tween America and England. Chinese Law. When asked if he looked for a repeal of the Chinese exclusion law, Li Hung said: know very well that you are soon to have an election and perhaps a change in the Government. For this reason I have not mentioned or discussed the Geary act with your Government officials. 1 desire the assistance or the press in an effort which will be made later to do away with this law.

I know that the press is the most influential in stitution in this country. J.ne act is most unfair. Competition is good for any country lhe tjeary act was brought abont by the Democratic party and the Irish people because the Chinese are the rivals of the Irish laborers. Put aside the fact that I am a high othcial, and sneaking as a cosmopolitan, let me ask if such a law is in the interest of the American people Is it good policy to exclude cheap labor? Would you exclude cheap commodities? You are proud of your ingenuity; you Doast or your liDerry iind freedom, but there is no freedom of ibor. 1 cannot see the rruits and etrects of this liberty.

You make better ma chinery and agricultural implements than any other nation the world, but these manufactures are unrortiinateiy so ex pensive in foreign markets that their sale is limited. This i because your labor is so high. If yon let in cheap labor you can sell your goods more cheaply. The Irish people hate the Chinese because the Chinese possess greater virtue. he Viceroy declared that the Canadian route to the Paciihc Uoast was selected because he did not care to go through the States where the people had been most instrumental in bringing about the Chinese restricting laws, and that he had been informed that the steamers sailing from Vancouver are much more comfort able than those leaving San Francisco.

To the concluding question: "Has your visit to this country any political signifi cance?" The Viceroy declared he had no more time to devote to the newspaper men. and the interview was closed. Li Hung this morning gave a sitting to Prof. Ernest Tiichs, the sculptor, and another sitting will be accorded this afternoon. The sculntor Is making a lire sized bust of the Ambassador for the Chinese Consul at Washington.

VETERAHSIMST.PAUL GREETINGS ALONG THE LINE Novel Features of the Parade Old Soldiers and Sailors. St. Paul, Sept.

2. The second day of Grand Army week opened with just enough clouds to make the weather wise expect rain, but the clouds served to make it more comfortable for the inarching veterans as they tramped to their quarters or participated in the pa rade of naval veterans and ex prisoners ol war. rserore noon tne sun Droke through the clouds and mildly bracing Northwestern weather continued another day. All night long the heavy trains rolled into the depot, and all niirht the lo cal accommodation committee and others delegated to see to the housing and com rort or tne visitors remained on duty. To day there seemed a decided increase in the size of the incominar hosts, the trains coming in three, four and five sections, all loaded.

The number already here and the number known to be en route to the encampment demonstrates that the conservative railroad estimate of 130,000 visitors, which was based on the number of tickets sold and contracted last week, will be short of the actual number present when the grand parade starts. Besides the more than 200 re unions of regimental and other organiza tions, tnere are continual reunions of comrades who had not seen or heard of each other since they pressed elbows together in the old war days. Many touching scenes were witnessed around the depots and various headquarters. Politics of the Encampment. So much time is given to greetines and getting settled that limited opportunity is secured for the politics of the encamp ment, but the various candidates all have friends who get in such words as possi ble.

Many of the delegates, however, will not reach the city till nearly time for the business sessions to begin Thursday, so that such a thing as accurate polling of the delegates is hardly possible. The num ber or candidates is still great and all may be voted for, although the three New Yorkers will not allow their names to be presented if by so doing they will any way interfere with the chances of the next encampment going to Buffalo. Columbia Post, of Chicatro. whose mar tial bearing and fine marching attracted so much attention when they arrived yes terday, are among those who are working tor tsutraio. ana as tne Uenver workers have not been so early in the field, it leaves Buffalo a great advantaee.

and most of the delegates now here seem to think that that city will secure the next encampment without real opposition. liansom post, of St. Louis, one of the most famous posts in the country, whose organizer and first commander was General Sherman, was serenading the various headquarters with the Alton. 111., band that accompanied them, and as they marched in straight line with firm step up the street it led the on lookers to compare them with the Columbia Post, and again the representatives of Chicago and St. Jxmis round themselves placed in ri valry, though very friendly to each other.

Novel Parade Features. Tuesday's parade consisted of the na val veterans, the ex prisoners of war and the Sons of Veterans, all escorted by the Third Regiment of regulars from "Fort Snellmg. It was a short parade, but novel in some of the features introduced by the naval veterans, and a decidedly popular one, although generally consid ered as simply a foretaste of the big parade to morrow. The streets were lined with people, who caev hearty ereetinsr to the marching old soldiers and also cheered their sons and army successors, the char acter ot the parade allowing a compari son not at any other time possible. icsterday afternoon was given up to the reunions and a meeting of the Min nesota old soldiers, who organized a Min nesota eterans Association at Fort Snelling yesterday afternoon.

The forth coming report of Mine Inspectors Stein, itoaericK and JSrennan, appointed by Governor Hastings to investigate the Twin Shaft disaster, ty which over fifty miners were buried on June 28th, is foreshadowed in a statement credited to In spector Roderick. The report will be ready about the middle of September. ine report will say that in the absence of proof that the operators knew of the exact condition of the mine during the squeeze," no responsibility can be plac ed upon them, however culpable they may have been in allowing the pillars in the gangway to be too small and irregular. Operators intrust the mine to their employes and they are responsible for its safety during such sudden, emergen cies. The report will come to the decision that Superintendent Langan.

buried in the mine with the other victims, erred in jiMlgment in aiolwing the men to work in the midst of the squeeze on that fatal Sunday morning. He probably thought it was only a local squeeze and under esti mated the danger, but' it involved acres upon acres. It was extemely dangerous. says the report, in the midst of this area, with the squeeze going on between the men and the foot of the shaft. Again, even though there was no squeeze, it was not safe to work in the mine on account of the dangerous bodies or gas that suddenly appeared.

The report will recommend that the number of inspectors be increased, or that there be assistance; that operators and the inspector confer as to the manner of working the mine: that the workinc of the mine should be from the foot to the head and not from the head to the foot; drive the gangways from the shaft into the coal and then start to work from the far end of the gangway into the shaft, The commissioner will insist that this last recommendation be embodied in law.

Stutzke. the East Seventy fifth street prophet, and his fol lowers, expect to go to heaven to day. The prophet and some of his followers sang and prayed together yesterday afternoon in his cottage, and early in the evening the faithful went to their homes, there to await the summoning signal. As to the occurrence of to day there is a dearth of definite information, even of definite prophecy. The hour at wbich the chosen are to be translated is not known.

After several conversations with the leader and his chief disciples it was learned tnat they expect the following events some time between sunrise and sunset: Ihe appearance of the Lord in elorv and ma jesty, visible alike to believers a ad unbelievers. The transfiguration and translation of those on earth who have been baptized in the faith, which is to be proved to day in all parts of the world. This entrance upon a reign of 1.000 years in tne summer paradise about the North Pole, which will come nearest to the sun by a change in the earth's axis. ine Stutzke prophecy recalls the Miller ite excitement of 1843, when a large num ber oi persons in this city, particularly in Division street, sold their worldly goods, robed themselves in white and ascended to the roofs to await the last trumpet of Gabriel.

Albans, Sent. 2 The Green Mountain State yesterday demonstrated its patriotism. It has emphatically de clared for the Republican candidates and Republican principles and set the pace for the sound money hosts to march to victory in the Presidential contest. The 00,000 voters of Vermont to day rendered a verdict of more than 39,000 majority in favor of the St. Louis platform.

The entire State, Congressional and county tickets were elected. Ma jar an tjrrout, xne itepublican nominee for Governor, stood as the direct representative of Major McKinley. Dr. J. Henry Jackson, the Democratic candi date, represented William J.

Bryan. The result speaks more eloquently than can be expressed in words. The cities and large towns united with the rural dis tricts in showing heavy Reombliean srnins over both the last State and Presidential elections, and the farming sections show gains, too. A Great Victory. The election was the most important one since the close of the war, and the glorious victory by the Republicans and the sound money Democrats over the allied forces of silverites and Popocrats will cheer and encourage the supporters of McKinley and Hobart throuehout the land.

The following returns speak for them selves: Burlington gives a Republican nmjonty of ol, against a Democratic majority of GO in 1892. St. Alban's cast the largest Republican vote in its history, giving Grout 439 majority. Montpelier gives tjtront 51 majority, a net gam of 307. In Brattleboro the Republicans gave Grout 1.111.

against 214 for Jackson, a net gain of 480 over 1892. Democrats Vote for Grout.

Benning ton increases its Republican majority 595. Baltimore casts a unanimous Republican vote.

Ripton, the home of Joseph Battel, Populist candidate, increases its Republican vote and gives him only 38 out of 120 votes. The Republicans elect the entire State Senate, more than 200 out of 245 Representatives, every county officer, and re elect Congressmen H. H. Powers and W. W.

Grout by increased majorities. Those elected are: Governor. Josiah Grout; Lieutenant Governor, Nelson W. Fiske: State Treasurer. H.

F. Field: Sec retary of State. Chauncey W. Brownall; State Auditor, F. D.

Hale. Voters have changed this year at any rate from the Democratic to the Repub lican party. The farming towns in which the Democrats hoped to do so much have disappointed them greatly. Indeed, so far as the returns have come in to night there has not been a single polling place which has not shown a decided Republican gain. That is the whole story of to day's election.

Among the callers was Senator Redfield Proctor, of Vermont.

He was overwhelmed with congratula tions, and when asked how he accounted for the result, said: The result came nfter a full and candid discussion of the issues before us this fall. That discus sion was largely upon the silver question, because with us the tariff quesiton is set tled. Practically, our people are all in favor of protection. The strength of the silver sentiment was an unknown quan tity, but from the day the discussion was fairly opened up to the day of election there was a steady accession to our ranks of those who had temporarily wandered away."
