which to us last night by telegraph. indicate
that the vote poed larger than was ever before
given, and that the Republican candidates have
gained over the vote of last year
The same two candidates ran Tor Governor at this
election, and, far as the result Is known, the ma
lority for the Republican ticket Is even greater than
it last year. Vermont can, therefore, continue
to claim what the radicals in that section consider
great honor that she has never gwen Democratic
majority. The vote for Governor III the towns of
BURLINGTON and Rutland as follows:
