Montpelier, Vt, May 6.—The
democratic state convention here
yesterday nominated for governor
Hon. Bradley B. Smalley of Bar-
lington and George M. Dearbon
for lieutenant governor. The
other nominations were: Alex-
ander Oochran of Groton for
treasurer, John J. Enright of
Bnrlington for secretary of state,
Elisha May of St. Johnsbary for
aditor.
The first delegate at large to
Chicago and chairman of the Ver-
mont delegation was Dr. J. D.
Hanehan of Rutland second,
John Robinson of Bennington;
third, J. Henry Jackson of Barre,
and Ool. H. E. Folsoin of Lynd-
man, fourth. The platform was
adopted after which the conven
tlon adjourned.
The resolutions express a de-
termination to renew efforts for
tariff reform and insists that man-
ufacturers should have free ma-
terial, that nothing can justify its
conversion into money of more
silver than is required for circu-
lation as free coinage is forcing
the people to bny what Ihey do
not want at a fixed price much
higher than the market, that the
economy of Cleveland's adminis-
tration as compared with the
profligacy of the present admin-
istration shonld encourage all
honest citizens to renewed efforts
for the success of the democratic
party at the coming election.
The delegstes are unlnstructed.
CONGRESSMAN BAILEY STATES
HIS POSITION.
Bonham, Tex., May 6.—It is
stated that J. W. Yaughan, a
prominent farmer of Hill county,
and who it seems has been a life-
long democrat, has gone off with
the third party, and that he liberal-
ly quotes from Culberson and
from a private letter said to have
been written by Congressman J.
VV. Bailey, which first appeared in
the Southern Mercury. A re-
porter was handed the inclosed
letter, which was received by Mr.
C. H. White this morning, and
from its perusal one may conclude
that the third party people will
stop quoting Hon. J. W. Bailey
and claiming, as they have been
doing in Fannin county, that he is
almost with the third party. The
letter published in the Mercury
has been read at public meeting
I by the third party all over this
county and much capital made of
it
House of Representatives,
Washington, May 3.—Mr. C. H.
White, Bonham, .Tex: My Dear
Sir—Your very kind letter of re-
cent date stating that the third
party speakers are publicly pro-
claiming that I indorse their plat-
form, came duly to hand. I have
not answered it before this time

The Scarlet Letter"
By Nathaniel Hawthorne,
soon te published in these column3. If you enjoy something
frame of mind necessary for inak-
I would not
need to assure the people among
whom I live, and I am confident
that personally you do not need
my assurance, that any report
which impeaches my fidelity to
the democratic party is absolutelj
without foundation, but while I
could rely upon my reputation
among the people who know me
Catarrh, to vindicate me against such an
absurd charge, yet as I am not
generally acquainted with the
good people of Fannin county,
you have done me a great kind-
ness in calling my attention to
this report, so that I can make an
explicit and emphatic denial of it.
I am completely at a loss to
understand how the third party
leaders can assume that I have
any sympathy with their move-
ment All of their demands to
which I con subscribe are iudors
ed by the democratic party, and
such of them as are not indorsed
by the democratic party 1 regard
as entirely too visionary and im-
practicable ever to be adopted,
and if adopted they are calculated
to produce infinite mischief
among the people.
The letter, an extract from
whioh you send me, was a private
one and written without any
thought or purpose of its publi
cation. I do not, however, make
the least complaint that it has
been published, and I am ready to
repeat every word of it as often
M it may be necessary. Bat it is
a novel idea to me that when a
democrat complains against the
great abases which are admitted
to exist, and whieh we the un-
avoidable effeot of republican
legislation, he is, therefore, giving
aid and comfort to the third
perty.
That there are abases, and
greater ones than the people have
imagined, no candid man will
deny, and especially no consistent
democrat ean danv then, hms
to do so would be to contradict
all the charges whieh we have
honest men and as true democrats
is to point out every evil, conceal
ing nothing and magnifying noth-
ing, but taking great care to
place the responsibility where
it belongs. With the issue thus
presented I have no apprehension
for the result, because I believe
in the patriotism and intelligence
of the people.
The particular question which
was in my mind when writing the
"etter was the disposition to re
sent my action in insisting upon
he presence of a quorum for the
transaction of publio business
This is an indisputable require-
ment of the constitution and the
resistance which has been mani
fested against it argues to my
mind a decadence of that respect
which our fathers taught us to
cherish for that sacred instrument
This delinquency is not charge-
able against the democratic party
and I am glad to say that there
are bnt few individual democrats
who are guilty of it
You will permit me to say, how-
ever, and I say it without intend-
ing to wound the sensibility of
any man or class of men, that the
supporters of this new party are
the very last people in this coun-
try to distrust the future because
the constitution is not properly
respected; for certainly the re-
publicans themselves have never
proposed a more palpable viola-
tion of it than this vicious and
dangerous subtreasury scheme.
I have been since my boyhood
a democrat of the strides' sect—
without "variableness or shadaw
of turning"—and I feel today
more profoundly impressed than
ever before in my life that the
preservation of the democratic
party and the enforcement of its
principles offer the only hope of
rescuing our country from the
perilous situation into whioh the
republican party has led it These
indeed are perilous times and no
patriot ought to separate himself
from the only party which prom-
ises substantial, practical and per-
manent reform. Very truly your
friend, J. W. Bailby.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN.
Roanoke, V#r, May 6.—It was 3
o'clock this morning before the
republican state convention ad-
journed. A big fight was made
on the question of instructing
delegates to Minneapolis for Har
rison. Mahone and Langston op-
posed, and for awhile as though a
deadlock would ensue. A vote
finally taken and Mahone won by
a vote of 392J to 1731. Mahone
stated that if the delegates were
instructed to vote for Harrison
he would not obey the instrnc
Hons. The convention then ad-
journed.
The following were elected del-
egates at large: Gen. Wm. Ma-
hone, J. Brown Allen, A. W. Har-

ate action on the free silver qaes

long time, at a low rate of inter-
est, but it tends to keep the money
in circulation here among us. He
pays the $500 out to his neighbors
and the $20 interest that he pays
into the state treasury may come
back to his county in sixty dayo
and be paid for the tuition
of his children. But invest
this fund in railroad bonds and in
ess than one week from the
time they get the state treasurer's
ohecks it will be deposited with
some bank in Wall street. It is
contended that it is an injury to
the people to borrow money.
Whether this is true or not should
be left to each individual to de-
termine for himself. One thing
we must admit is, that many of
the people are in a condition
which makes it necessary to bor
row or be ruined, and the very
fact that they are compelled to
borrow is, I insist, the best reason
why they should have au oppor
unity to borrow on easy terms.
The policy of the iniser would be
to take advantage of the man's
necessities, the policy of the state
should be to lend a helpiug hand
to the needy.
One hundred million lent out m
sums of from $200 to $2000 would
accommodate a great many people,
and at 4 per cent would produce
unavailable school fund annually
of $5,000,000, an amount greatly
larger than is required to run the
entire state government How
important it is then that our legis-
lature should guard with zeaious
care this sacred fund.
In conclusion I would say that
it will be the duty of the next
legislature to elect a United
States senator, and I believe that
the present iniquitous tariff laws
are doing more to enrich the rich
and make the poor poorer than
any other one agency. And be-
lieving that the free coinage of
silver would in a measure relieve
our present financial distress, I
shall, if elected, vote for the
great tariff reformer, friend of
free silver and peerless states-
man, Roger Q. Mills.
