FRANKLIN COUNTY COME TO
THE RESCUE!

It is with no ordinary degree of pride
and pleasure. that we have 10 announce to
our pol',cal friends, the triumphant success
o(the wing ticket in this senatorial district,
on Tuesday Of last week. The Wings Of
Franklin County have nobly done their
duty. They haze come to The rescue at
this important crisis! Important crisis
we may say; because in other portions Of
our state, through the remissness Of the
wings, the election has resulted adverse to
the triumphant success of The Wing cause
and had The election resulted in this county
as bad as it did last fall possibly the Van
| Buren, party would have had a majority on
joint ballot in the Vermont Legislature ! I!
But we trust the Legislature is now safe |!
Much praise is due the Wings of Frank lin
county They will be remembered with
gratitude by their brethren throughout the
state and the union.
Last year the Van Buren, senatorial
ticket succeeded in this district by about
$50 majority over the opposition or, in
other words. the highest vote on the for
mer ticket was 1888, and the highest vote
on the wing ticket was 1878. This year
the highest vote on the Van Buren, ticket
is about It'll. and on the Wing ticket the
highest vote is about 1922; thus showing
that The Van Buren, party have polIed but =
small number more votes this year than
they did last, and the wings have poled
more than 500 more-giving their ticket o
handsome majority. Last year the Loco
Focos elected 8 representatives. and the

THE ELECTION.

The returns for Governor come in slow,
and ore necessarily more or less imperfect.
Enough is known, however, to render it
certain that Governor Jenison is reelected.
but by reduced majority from last year.
This falling off, however, it is ve,y evident,
is not attributable to any disaffection on
the part of the Wings, for, in some SC, 900
votes returned. we observe that Smile g
vote is not materially larger than that of
Bradley in the same towns last year. The
truth is. three or four thousand Wings have
omitted going TO the polls, and the result
ia seen not only in the diminution of Gov.
tensions majority, but also in the election
of an unusual number OF Loco Focos to the
House. The withdrawal of an average Of
ten to fifteen Wing votes from each poll,
has enabled the Van Buren, men to elect
their candidates in most of the towns
where parties have heretofore been nearly
divided, and we shall not be surprised to
find the contest for Speaker in the next
House, a very close one. We are confident,
however, that there will be small Wing
ma ority-siX or eight. The Waterman
contains returns from all but twelve towns,
and setting these down the same as last
year, the parties will stand 1l6 Wings, 9
Conservatives, and 40 Locofocos. Nor.
tifyIng as this result most assuredly is, YET
it affords no ground for dscoura cement.
The cause is too obvious to be misunder-
stood, and the r,mady is at hand Another
year will set the matter rioht.
In the Senate, we have maintained our
usual majority of about two to one. We
have lost three Senators in Orange, one in
Orleans, and one in Bennington and have
gained three in Frank lin, and one in Essex.
Nineteen to eleven, will be the probable
standing Of parties III the Senate.
To our friends abroad, we say, give no
heed to the idle tales Of the Locofocos
about Vermont. We have indeed been
caught napng-but another year will find
every wing at his post, and prove, what we
now assert, that Termont is sound to The
core -'mmouabie as her everlasting hills
Not more surely does the morning sun
dspeI the mists of night, than shall the
first Tuesday in September next, scatter
to the four winds Of heaven the murky
vapors Of Locoiocoism, which. for the
time being, hover round our m pun ain tops.
