~ VERMONT ELECTIONS.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, September
j.-Appearances indicate that the exciting
canvass of the past few weeks will culmi-
nate to-day in bringing to the polls nearly
every voter in the State. Free conveyance
is furnished to every voter. Reports from
all quarters show that no such enthusiasm
has been manifested since Lincoln's first
election. The Republicans consider there
is strong probability Of an increase of $4,000
votes over their majority OF 1874, while the
Democrats are sanguine that the election
will show reactionary sentiment in favor
OF their party.
MONTPELIER, YT., September 5.-The
voting Is very spirited. The polls for town
representative close at P. NJ, and for the
State ticket at P. n. Polls opened here at
10 A.. NJ. A full canvass Of Montpelier
shows that there are 1,025 males over
twenty.one years Of age in the town. OF
this number the selectmen threw out 1873,
leaving on the voting list 1872 names eligible
to vote. Both parties are hopeful OF ma
jority. The Democrats charge that the Re
publicans are bringing many persons from
their strongholds to Montpelier to vote for
Fairbanks as Governor, and thus make
good show ut the State capital. BY law
person having legal residence in the State
can vote in any town, and for county Off
GERS in any town Of the county il residing
therein. The same rule holds in the con-
gressional districts. .....
