Vermont is not such as to wnrrnnt Republican

There scena to haye boen in Vermont tl'is
dependant voting which surprised pa<tica 10 thsa
state last foil. Republican candidates for tho
Legislature havo failed Of election in districts
which wore thought to bo safe beyond perstf-
venture. Tho Republican, will hnve, as usual, q
largo majority, but tho pemooratic and 1nde-
rentcut nombore will number moro thnn In any

Tho Groen Mountain State has boom for Yenra

nothing legB than = political revolution 10 uke]y
to overthrow tho party; but tho result Of tho
election on Tuesday shows TINT even thoro tho
CAUSES Of dissatisfaction Which have boon Bbak-
ing the organization as II with 1nonaces Of deso-
luton have lad tllsir offcot. The pooplo will not
forever keep their confidence whorn they hayo
reason to bolievo that 1t La In any n1onsure be-
trayed. . Tho contests in tho Congress
Bional Districts more than anywhere olse havo
developed tho prevailing stato Of feoling. The
illscarding Of Nr. Willard, whose record
in Congross has a1Waya boon oloar and
honorable, for tho sake Of botter
subscribing certain party purposes, materially
affected the fullnoss Of the vote in Lis district,
md II Col. Joyce had not been a man who CON-
mandod vcry general Confidence tho OBJECT would
hayo boon still groater. Mr.. polApd has appar-
emily lost bis place, and his chance for it III an
extrn election will DO diminished rather than in
creased. No doubt hle connection with tho 3D.
called "gag law " has had considerable effect.
but only % confirming Lack OF confidence In
him which had begun to ho felt before. Ho has
been asscciatod With tho mistakes md corrnp-
tiona OF his party in CongroBs, which have dono
go much harm to tho Republicans IN other States.
The people arc becoming oxacting. They wish
their Representatives to 10 above suspicion, and
to bo absolutely worthy Of trust for tho future.
It Ia = wholesome fooling, too.
