"THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS"
We have the satisfaction of announcing that To-
cofocoism ngnin bites The dust in Vermont. New
err were the leaders Of that party more active per-
severing aud united in their effDrts-never more
reckless in their means-never more confident of
success and we may add that probably there has
not been time for years when the Wings had so
much ground for disrnst. But grievOusy have
the hopes Of loeolocosm been blasted-and nobly
hnve the people Of Vermont proved the stability
Of their political character. They have withstood
The storm of locoiocoi>m, just as their own noun
tains stand against the blasts OF the east wind
There has been little futlering among the dry
Ienves-or, TO use the politician phrase, there has
been now aud then ga small screw oose"-but
that has only proved the invncibilily of The Wings
Of the Green Mountains
Nathan Smile is NOT elected Governor Of Yer
mont. Il. d. Barber cannot he even acting Gov
ernOr: his attempt TO ride two hobbies has been
treated by The Wing aboliIioniss with tho con-
tempt which it justly dcserves-and we honor
them for it, So far ms the votes for Lieut. Cover
nor have reached us, it is evident that the Wing
nbolitionisis hive erased the name Of Barber and
inserted that Of Ranney producing this result
Mr.. Ranney will run quite ms far ahead OF the reg
ular Wing ticket MS MIR. Barber will above Mr..
Smile. Judging from the complexion of the re-
turns, which embrace nearly all the strong holds
oCloco locoisnl. we think il certain that CHARLES
PAINE Is ELECTED GOVERNOR BY THE
PEOPLE. 1t is indeed, barely possible that there
may he no election, through neglect or 100 much
confidence, in Tie strong Wing countes-ye so
far MS the few returns received from those sec.
lions indicate, this canno, be Even in that
improbable event. there We, remains unquesJiona-
bly, n strong Wing majority in The Legislature.
The Wings in The strong ocotoco sections have
done well.
NORThFIELD,
the residence of Gov. Paine, is pre-eminently de-
serving of praise. Lust yenr there was majority
of % against Gov. Paine, and locofoco repre-
sentative: this year, The Wings have carried their
representative, and given handsome ma
lorlty throughout, an increased vote. Majority
for Paine over all, 6-gain &c.
.Mdntpeiier has done well. Majority against
Paine last year. 229---,hs year ls3: gan 49, On
town representative last year the locoioco major-
ity over all was l43 this year the majority is re.

The editor takes This occasion 10 tender his ac-
acknowledgements to the Wings of Montpelier for
the handsome vote which he has received. Ii is
a compliment unasked and unexpected; and de-
ference TO The Wings of Montpelier only prevents
him from ulding-undeserved May the day
speedily come when they can elect their man /; and
then their candidate for 1912 will show his g,ati.
lude by trying 10 help Them to another and bet
ter lnan.
Berlin has done nohly; grin on Governor 49,
and representative elected by an increased ma.
ioriry.
Durbury-Gain A, aud representative almost
carried Another vigorous onset will complete
the victory
Waterbury has given very full vote, and de-
serves NIL credit. Gain 81.
Others have done well, too, but our limits will
not permit us to parricuarize. The county shows
a Wing gain OIL the State ticket of nearly 800
votes.
Orange County shows gain of about 100. In
that county Randolph has come out of The fight
with high honors. Though fiercey bese she has
saved her member, aud given gain OF us on the
Stale ticket.
Caledonia has fought hard, particularly the
tern section, and deserves better success.
LamoiHe, the residence of Mr.. Smile, shows
handsome Wing gain l69 which will be increas-
ed hy the vote Of Enore.
The old Hhig counties, we trust, will speak for
themselves, aud loud enough to he heard without
difficulty.
Annexed arc the returns, us far as received.
