Even the democrats of staid and conservative Vermont have seen the new light. Their convention the other day adopted the following:

The convention adopted resolutions congratulating the country on the restoration of home rule in the south, and the overthrow of military domination brought about in response to the demands of the national Democracy, and demand retrenchment and economy in federal and state administrations, the strict accountability of all officials, honest payment of the public debt, home rule, no federal interference in municipal or state elections, a just and equitable tariff, one currency for all, and a gradual substitution of greenbacks for national bank bills.

This don't sound a bit like the St. Louis platform of two years ago.
