YER MONT PHI GNIX.
Friday Morning, Sept. 81, 1888.

in this county again, incomplete. Is there no
man in the towns from which we have no re-
turns who can writer The town clerks We
hope at least can make their marks. Such re-
turns as we have, we give below.
1t will be seen that the Senate stands pre-
cisely as it did last year, two-thirds of that boz
dy being Wings. Our losses were by very
small maiorites, and from local causes, except
in Franklin county, where Canada affairs oper-
ated against us. In the House there has been
a tremendous Wing gain. Last year parties
stood Wings 1913, Locos SO, Wing maj 3d.
This year we have a majority of 80. Wing
gain 53!l The Wing Governor is elected
probably by majority 1000 larger than last
year and had it not been for the excitement at
the north in regard to Canadian matters it
would have been probably 1000 larger. In re-
gard to the Member of Congress from the 4th
District, it will be seen the Locos crowed too
soon. The Wings can elect their man if they
will but turn out and be united, and it is to be
hoped that the importance of the crisis will
lead them 10 do their duty in this respect at the
next trial.

Fourth District. We have what purports
TO be fall returns from this District in the ST
Albans(fed) Messenger which makes S. fall
behind A., b. and Scat. Is votes This is
positively too bad. Other accounts and re-
ports say that Smith is elected by small
majority-some say and others votes-
Nothing but the official canvass can settle
the question, the contest is so close. We
have not abandoned all hope.
JOHN SMITH. The Albany Journal gives
the following account Of John Smith, elected
by the Boston Post-but not by the people,
for there is no choice-to represent the fourth
Congressional district of Vermont =
Mr.. Allen believed it his duty to vote for
Mr.. Van Buren's Neutrality Bill, reported
by an Administration Committee and sus-
tanned by the whole force Of the party On
this vote an issue was made up against him,
and John Smith Of ST. Adams brought out
as a candidate. Mr.. Smith is an able man,
but gifted with singular versatility, or ra.
ther vacuty of politca principle He was
a strong Federalist of old, then an Adams
man. then almost Jackson man, then quite
an Anti-Muson, being leader and Speaker
of the House under their ascendoncy a
champion of the Banks and bitter enemy
in the Legislature lastly, a
very strong Patriot since he began TO
think Of running for Congress. He was
by the Van Buren, men along with
many who are not such but is said to have
declared himself decidedly opposed TO the
Sub Treasury and otherwise of no parity,
He was eectioneered for in the frontier jour-
nails expressly as a Patriot, and on the
ground that this was the Main Question:
AS for his own feelings, we believe he is for
John Smith primarily, and the border Pat
riots as accessory thereto, and no farther for
any party than he considers polite. St.
Adams, which is a Wing town, gave him s
three to one and Franklin county, which is {
essentially Wing, gave him 400 majority
We incline to the belief that the scattering
Wing votes ('Patriot0 have defeated an cleo
lion, that Mr.. Allen will decline a further
and candidate calculated TO unite
all Wings be presented
