VERMONT ELECTION
VICTORY COMPLETE.

Vermont has again done her duty up to
to the full extent of our largest expectations
Never has Loco-F ocoism put more strenu
ously in requisiion every appliance which
zeal, energy, art and intrigue could supply,
ard fought with more desperate resolution
than in the struggle which has just been clos
ed. The same may be said of Third-Party-
ism which has fought with an INSCRIPTIONS
fury, and spent its last effort in this hard
fought battle. But all has been in vain.-
The star that never sets is still in glorious
ascendency. Most nobly have the people of
Vermont again INDICATED their claims TO that
rigid and lofty patriotism which goes for the
country, the whole country, and nothing but
the country. They could not be blinked to the
great issues which were submitted to their
decision. They clearly discerned the truth
amidst the mis,s and receptions with which
their opponents attempted to smother it. In
every department of the government Loco
Focoism is completely waterlooed.
We have returns enough before us to show
that the Governor is ours. The Senate is
ours and the House of Representatives by
overwhelming majorities in both bodies
Three Congressman out of four likewise
grace the splendid victory. Last year Mat
tocks lacked about l3 hundred Of an election
by the people. Mr.. Slide will now be cleo
ted by handsome majority. In the only
Loco Congressional Districtin the State there
is no election. Paul Dillingham; has been
defeated for Congress, and by such Wing
force as to render his future election contin-
gent except by an union Of Third Partyism
upon him. Addison County Notwithstanding
the onslaught of the furious apostles of Third
Partyism upon her Just before election, has
nobly sustained herself. She has made three
Wing gains in the Legislature to the Locos
or Third Party one, and increased from last
year between four and five hundred on the
State Ticket. The Birney men have very
little to boast of in odd Addison and here
and elsewhere have proselyted more from
the Loco-Foco party who have attended
their meetings and cheered them forward,
than from the Wing ranks. The Liberty
Party through the State in the same way
have gained upon the State tickets a dozen
members Of the Legislature, and prevented
! many elections chiefly in Loco towns. But
their high anticipations have been blasted for
the present, if not forever hereafter. Last
year tho party polled 80 hundred and theil
increase vii, be about 1900. The Freeman
saws most of this increase is from the ''shdn
Democracy"
Windsor County has done nobly having
gained over 1000 to the Wing majority since
last year, notwithstanding the addition of l57
to the Liberty party. A few of her towns de-
serve notice. Cayendish has gained 70,
Hartford 109, Norwich 81, Rochester 43,
Springfield LAG, Weathersfeld sc, Windsor
l24, Chester which has been Loco since
1910 and last year a majority of I47 against
Mattocks has this year given majority for
Slade, gain Of 155.
On the Governor vote IL towns have not
been received they are in Franklin, Orleans
and Grand Isle Counties, g towns in Essex,
in Washington IN Addison. in Rutland,
