BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. g. 1872
To-day occurred the State election OF Vermont
and heavy vote has been polled. Both parties
have done their utm0st-the liberal democratic to
cut own the heretofore republican maJOrties ana
the latter to hold their own and even attempt
larger things than formerly. In this city the
canvass has been thorough and the excite.
ment in politics has run higher than
ever before, owing to the multitude
Of manufacturing establishments and their con-
slant increase, which attracts good number OF the
foreign element The liberal democrats have hoped
for better things this year, and some have even
been hopeful as to expect to elect their repre-.
sentative to the State Legislature.
THE CENTRE OF THE FIGHT.
The large share Of the interest has centred In the
contest over city representative Both parties
have been thoroughly organzed-the Grant party
with their Grant and Wilson clubs OF older voters
and tanners among the young men, and the
Greeley party with their clubs and young
woodchoppers. Every exertion had been made
to reach every voter In the CITY, and the rush to the
voting lists previous to the election for the regis
tering OF names, was as exciting as the election
ITSELF There has been some disafection In the re-
publican ranks over the nominee for Representa-
tive and portion of them had put up temperance
candidate (RusselD, which had given the liberals
some hope, but this morning 1t was announced that
Russell had withdrawn and the contest lay between
Ballou, republican, and Roberts, liberal democrat,
which encouraged the republicans.
THE VOTING.
The moment tho polls were opened the work
commenced and the voting was brisk up TO the
moment OF closing. Although there was the most
intense excitement no serious disturbance oc-
Cured during the voting, which was carried on
quietly and like clockwork from the fact that none
could vote except those whose names were regis.
