For .SfUfeS -1UornCy,
JOHN w. STEWART, Middlebury
Position Of the Forces, and Prospects O
the Campaign.
The canvass is now fairly OPENED through
out the State. The several Counties, witt
tive or three exceptions, have complete,
their nominations, and We give our reader
the result Of hasty review Of the field.
Bennington County will give a good &C
ooant Of herself in September. Tn,
Wings have made satisfactory nominations
Present indications point to q coalition be-
tween the two branches of tho Opposition
but, we think, without special hazard to III,
Wing ticket. William, had clear maori
ty there, last Fall, of 1884,.
In Windham County, the Wings are en-
droly united on an excellent county tickle,
and the Opposition have coaiesccd on half
dnd-half nominations, with milk and water
resolutions Tho Wing minority 10 the
county last year was 72l, which will proba.
Oily DO Increased ms Fail.
Tho sterling Wings Of Rutland County
are sure Of succeeding, whatever tho course
Of tho Opposition, by majority Of about
1900. They have put a good ticket in nom
insion. What the Opposition are doing in
this county, is comparatively unimportant.
Tho Wings of Windsor County, as usual,
are harmonious and active, with standards
bearers acceptable to all sections of that
large district. Two separate tickets have
bcen put in nomination by the Opposition
parties, which will probably poll about an
equal number of votes. The majority for
the Wings in this county last year was ,4ss
which we expec, 10 be increased, next
September, TO nearly or quite 2ooo.
In Old Addison" the Wings as yoi have
tho field entirely to themselves-no Opposi.
ton ticket having been nominated, and no
Convention called for that psrpos.. Our
majority last year, over all. was l,osa.
Orange County has boon improving for
years past, though VIC hardly expect to sue
coed there quite yet. The Wings are united
on a good county ticket, and The Opposition
will probably be concentrated on the Ac-
commolalion ticket already nominated.
Psck's majority iu this county, last year,
WAS only s77, which, by determined effort,
tho Wings may overcome. ....-
In Chittcnden County, the Wings are in
tbs field with nominations that will receive
HEARTY support, and the Opposition arc d.
sided between two licke,s--Old Limo ard
Frss Soil There is no doubt Of the cleo.
zion Of tho entire Wing ticket. Our msjrr.
iv tharc last year was only As, but the plu.
reilly for Williams was SEQ, which will this
rear DO increased. The Old Line are likely
70 poll much larger vote than last year.
Washington County has always been hope.
}oosly against US. The Wings have not YET
nominated a ticket, while Tho Opposition
have two tickets, which agree only on one OIL
the Senatorial nominations, that of c. 6.
EASTMAN, whose views, Of late, have moi
been definitely explained. The vote of the
county is mainly Free Soil-the Old Line
vote last year being only 100. Majority a
gsinst the Wings, 1854.
Tho Whigy Of Caledonia County have
completed their nominations, and have com
menced The campaign in good earnest. Tn,
Accommodation Democracy have nominated
their ticket, and the Old Line have cslled ,
convention 10 nominate separate one. OF
The stth inst. AS tho Old Line vote vii
undoubtedly be considerably increased ih
year, only an energetic effort is necessary IL
overcome the small plurality of the Ere,
Democracy (4ss) at the last election. Thi
ia promising Geld which we hope will no
be neglected. by our friends in the North.
In Franklin County. the Whigs are thor
oughly united on good ticket, and the Op
position are dvided on all the nomination
except Sheriff and Judge of Probate. TIL
plurality for Williams last year was 73s
On tue entire vote, there wss majority a
gsinst Williams Of 1877.
FROM LamolIe County We have yet hear
nothing, in relation to tho approaching cleo
ton.
Orlesns County will elect Wing officer
Throughout Our clear majority there la'
ye~ was 3o--pluralty, l4s.
In Essex County, where the Wings hay
small but safe majority, we hear nothing
the movements OF the Opposition. TIL
Wing ticket we publish elsewhere. Ther
j, no doubt OF its success.
Grand Isle has given no sign" but wi
eeet Wing ticket if it chooses, by q Gle,
tosjori,y Of 100 or 200.
The indieat throughout, the State at,
an increase OF the Wing vote. an increase
the Old Line Democratic vote. and gre
falling off Of the Radicals. We hope
give CHARLES X. WILLIAMS at least 9, O(
majority, and to secure a strong ascenden'
in the Legislature. With pcrseveriDg al
active eilsrts on the part OF the Wings in 1
sections Of the State, such result, is beyor
question.
