SHAW OPENS THE CAMPAIGN secretary of Treasury Support Regular Republican Homines, in Vermont REVIEWS RECORD OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY niseasaea Hot hi a a; kat national tsaaea Deals Largely with tha Tarl , Ihowlag BeselU ? mt ri-ateetloa. MANCHESTER, Vt.. Aug. 8. Tha politi cal campaign In Vermont, which Is con sidered an extraordinary one by reason of a bolting fsctton In the republican party by Perclval W. Clement contesting agalnat General J. O. McCullough. tha regular re publican nominee for governor, was opened here la Genera McCullough'a behslf to n!jfit. The chief speakers were Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, a native of the state, and ha dealt entirely with na tional 'questions, largely that of the tariff. Congressman J. Q. Foster, of .this district, presided and United States Attorney J. U Martin of Brattleboro and Congressman Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey were tha other sneakers. Secretary Shaw, In the opening, reviewed the record of tha democ ratio party, saying In this connection that the leaders of tha party always appear to be In search of an Issue which will appeal to voters and give them victory rather than making an effort to formulate a policy under which they may ba safely entrusted with tha affair of tha nation. He aald that the tariff Issue Is always resorted to by the democratlo party to provide an issue except In those years Im mediately following an experiment with tariff for revenue only. In those years, he said, they had been driven to other Issues to bridge over tha period between the date of their experiment and the forgetfulness of tha American people. He doubted If the democratic party or any member of it would venture to predict what would ba tha paramount Issue of tha present cam paign. Dr-naaerats and Moaey Qaestloa. Secretary Shaw then referred to tha dem ocratic party's attitude toward free ellver and tha greenback Issue, and continuing said that now the democratlo party lays great stress on tha trust question. It Is iterated and reiterated that tha tariff la the mother of trusts, and tba democracy again promises reform. 1 ' He referred to arguments advanced by parties in 1882 and In succeeding campaigns until the McKInley bill was passed. Secre tary Bhaw aald ha was doubtful If any tariff schedule had been devlaed satisfactory In every particular to any person. The re publican party never attempts to defend a tariff achedula, but does defend tha protac- Ums cf tha present tariff schedule should be modified, ut no modification could ba made that would not still leave many Items In dispute WT.son's bill passed In 1884 was so uni(rSeUry that President Cleveland refund t sign it. The question Is not w.-Hh(jr Jere are Inaccuracies. Inequali ties or imperfections In tha present law, but whether It Is wise to attempt a revision at thii) time. It la Idle to suppose that sny re vision will be satisfactory to tboss who hava no revision policy of tbelr own. No policy of legislation, no Insular poliny, no expan sion policy, no Philippine policy Is or aver will ba devised that will satisfy tha opposi tion. In concluding Mr. Shaw aald: "Let ths republican party go forward doing that which It believes to b wisest for party and people. When this baa been dona and no concession made to democratlo clamor the people have never failed to vindicate tha re publican party, the party of progress."
