Politicians who believe in early elections in presidential years as straws indicating the probable direction of the November wind are taking an unusual amount of in- terest in the balloting in Vermont tomor- row for governor and other state officers. This is a republican stronghold and the re- sult is therefore generally discounted, al- though enthusiastic free silver men have claimed a chance for victory there. The real matter of importance to be awaited is the size of the majority that the republi- cans will secure. If it should fall below 25,000 the friends of McKinley will be dis- appointed and his opponents will in all like- lihood claim that the free coinage idea has converted the republican farmers and la- borers into democrats, for this year at least. On the other hand if the majority should exceed 25,000 there would be good ground for belief that the voters of the east are not to be allured from pazty fealty by the promises held out by the Chicago Platform. In 189) Page was elected by the republicans to be governor by a majority of 14.16% votes. In 1892 Harrison carried the state by 21.667, and in 1894 Woodbury, republican, was chosen governor by 28,521 majority. A falling off from this last vote might be expected from the fact that It Was cast in a year of great republican vic- tories all over the country and the total vote was greater than in any previous year. The republicans secured 75% per cent of all the votes cast. This enormous pre- ponderance set a very high standard and a majority given to the republican candidate for governor tomorrow approximating that of 1894 would be a severe biow to the hopes of the free silver forces. The third-party vote in Vermont has always been insignifi- cant. Two weeks hence Maine will cast her votes for governor and again there will be a chance to peer into the political future, better than in Vermont perhaps for in Maine the situation is peculiar owing to the presence of a citizen of that state on the democratic national ticket. Georgia's Vote in October will not be of much con- Sequence as an index for there is no thought of republican success there and the fight Is really between the democrats and the populists. ——— Li Hung Chang does not seem to he greatly impressed by American simplicity.

If the demcerats now assembling at In- dianapolis cared to rest their case on mere precedent, or on deliverances of Mr. Bryan touching party fealty, they would be amply Justified on either score in the action they are about to take. A third presidential ticket, recording at most a protest, is hon- orably associated with some of the most notable efforts In our politics, and Mr. Bry courageous enough to state mon’ fore the Chicago convention was held that if it should declare against free ver he would not support its nominees.
