The aggregate vote of these 1S2 towns is oo,539-
1900, or very nearly 80 per cent greater than The
official vote Of the entire State in 1874 The fun
vote promises to be considerably more than 10000
The nearest approach to this was in 1872, when the
total vote for Governor $500, with Republic
can majority of 25,333. In 1868 the Republican
majority was ~, ,l22 but the total vote was only
5o2l2. The reports from tho Representative dis
trcts are very meager. but from the figures at hand
il is evident that the Republicans have increased
their majority in the State Legislature. Last year
they had a majority Of % in the Senate and 40 in
the House. Their majority in the Senate this year
will be 90, the Democrats having lost their solitary
Senator. No additional reports have been received

from this place. on the occasion of Republican
MOLE raising The inhabitants of the place are nearly
All Irish Democrats. A Republican club Of 30 Irish
men was lately formed there, and much i'll feeling
between the two bodies has been the consequence.
About three weeks ago pole raised by the RepublI-
can club was cut down, and yesterday afternoon
Republlcan club of this city made an excursion to
Stony Holly to erect new pole and present the
club of that place with flag One hundred and
thirty persons went from this city, with Gen. Gates
and A. T. Clearwater as speakers. Arriving there
meeting was organized, and Gen. Gates attempted
10 speak but was silenced by howls, the ringing OF
COW bells, and other noises
The meeting was abandoned, but the pole was
raised and the company from this city started for
the cars All except two had got in the cars These
two-John T. Bond and Edward Clay-were on their
way when they saw Michael Lamb take hold of the
MOLE to pull it down. Lamb was intoxicated, and
Constable Hyiand and others say they tried to pull
him away Bond, however, thought they were rush
ing to help Lamb pull the pole down. and wildly
gesticulating and fouTlshing club he shouted to

were drawn by the from this city. most OF them
being thus armed. RevOlvers were also seen in the
hands of some of the Stony Hollow men. 1t Is
claimed that shot was fred by some one of the Re-
publican band but accounts differ, although mainly
supporting this statement
The fight then became general, about so shots
being fred, and stones were hurled freely. The Re-
publican party was finally stoned back to the cars.
Several Of them were wounded. Capt. Albert Tan
ners was badly cut on the head with a stone. r Il.
Montayne, a clerk in the Post-Ofce here, was also
cut ON the head with stone. Frank Harden and j.
I. Bond were wounded by pistol balls. Of the

Thomas HyIan1, Michael Lamb and boy were
shot Cornelius Bracket is believed to be fatally
wounded having been shot through one OF his

Others are slight. woman named Rafferty,, and
another woman, were slightly wounded in the face.
Some of the members Of the club from the city who
had escaped injury at the pole were hit by stones
when the train was leaving, for the Democrats
threw stones as the tram moved away. One of them
got pistol shot in the side of the head, but the
others escaped with bruises from stones.

COMPARATIVE VOTE BY COUNTIES.

UNOFFICIAL RETURNS FROM 1872 TowNs-A REPuB-
uCAN MAJORITY OF 19,675 IN TOTAL VOTE
OF $3.50.
The Vermont election returns received by mail,
while they do not many towns as those sent
by telegraph show the accuracy of the figures al
ready given. In the 1s2 towns inclnded in the sub
joined table, Horace Fairbanks Repl has majority
of 10, ,675 for Governor in total vote of 55,539.
The reports from 1876 towns yesterday morning gave
him 032 in total vote of 1874. There are about
80 towns not included IN the table which gave
q Republican majority of about 5000 III 1874.
Should the reports from these towns show even the
same vote as that cast two years ago. Mr. Fairbanks
will have majority of at least "a, 900 The proba-
bilities are, however, that gains have also been
made in the towns not yet heard from. If this
proves to be true, the Republican majority VIII be
nearer $4,000 than 24,O00 against majority OF
20,325 in 1874. The figures in parcntheses in the
