THE VERMONT ELECTION.

A LIGHT AND SCATTERING yoTE-THE FALLING OFF
IN THE REPUBLICAN, MAJoRrTIEs OF lS72-sIIGHr
PROBABILITY THAT NO CHOICE FOR CONGRESS
HAS BEEN MADE IN Mr.. PoIAND's DISTRICT
DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS ELECTED IN SEVERAL.
OF THE LARGE TowNs-PECK PROBABLY ELECTED
GOVERNOR BY A DECIDED MAJORITY.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept. 1.-The vote to-
day has been light one except in the lid Congress
sonal District, where there is bolt. The returns
come in very slowly. At 10 o'clock reports of the
popular vote had been received from only ~ towns
representing about onethird of the vote Of the State
on full ballot. Not for or moro years have
the voters been so refractory the voting rregu
lar. The bolt in the lid Congressional District
IS serious one, and has probably resulted in no
choice at this ballot. The candidates are the Hon.
Il. L. Poland, the present Republican incumbent,
and regular nominee, and the Hon. ID. C. DennsOn,
boiling Republican, and the Hon. C.. N. Davenport,
Democrat. Besides these, Col }. b. Mead, Granger,
has small vote The upshot Of it is that 80 towns
give Poland 3,l56; Dennson, 3,49l Davenport aud
scattering 1,2C3.
BURLINGTON, Sept. 1.-The election passed off
quietly In Burlington, with the results curiOusly
mixed. The city gives the Republican State ticket
9s majority, and heavy plurality for the regular
Republican ticket for State Senators, but elects
Smalley son of United States Judge Smalley
Democrat, as Representative in the Legislature by
90 majority. This is the first time Democrat has
been elected Representative from Burlington since
1853. The regular Republican ticket for county
officers is probably elected in Chittenden County,
through heavy Temperance bolt on portion of
the ticket.
RUTLAND, Sept. Returns come in slowly but
the indications are that there will be but slight
falling off from the Republican majorities of 1872
the State ticket Several of tho larger towns in the
State have elected Democratic town representatives,
which effected by coalitions of the Liquor party
with the Democrats Rutland elects a Democratic
Representative by "a marjority. Brandon and
Burlington also elect Democratic Representatives by
small majorties. The Hon. Luke P. Poland,
Rep is reelected, without much doubt, from the
lid Congressional District. Col. Charles II. Joyce
(Rep.) is elected by very large majority from the
Ist Congressional District The Hon. G. w. Hendee
Qep Is reelected bv large majority from the lid
Congressional District. Joel O. Baker, the regular
Republican nominee for State Attorney for Rutland
County is defeated. There are 1852 towns in the Dis
tric and there still for hope for the election
of Judge Poland, but the indications are against
him.
This same refractory spirit has been manifested
to considerable extent in the counties and even in
the towns. In the latter, regular nominees have
been subject to the disregard, and compromise
or boiling candidates elected. The Governors vote
in the towns reported stands for Peck IA 339, and
for Bingham 5,l0l.
The straight candidates for the Senate are prob
ably chosen all cases except in Franklin County,
where Mr.. Leach is defeated by Victor Atwood,
Democrat
The House will be body Of considerable ability,
H. III. Powers Of Morristown, Park Davis of st.
Adams, W. w. Grant of Barton, and p. w. Hyde of
Casteton being among those elected
The following is the vote for Governor in the
TOWNS nampd.
