Vermont Election.

appears from The returns OF our
state election that the republicans
have again carried the state, though
by q reduced majority, Tho vote OF
both tho democratic and republican
parties are not as large as two years
ago, Two other state tickets we're IN
the field aud voted for-the Green
back and the "independant or tie
form" They did not, however poll
but few votes, and those mostly by
republicans On the whole, We think
that the democrats have done as well
rs could DO eSpaled, The total vote
of tho state Il smaller than In 10,
while, comparatively speaking, the
democratic vote has not decreased as
much as the republican, No Our vote
Ia larger really than It was two years
ago. We have elected more members
to tho legislative than wo did then
as IL looks now, The republicans elect
Congressman Joyce and Tyler from
tho first and second districts, though
by reduced majoritles, In the third
district there Is no election, Barlow
leads Grout Waterman, tho demo
cratic candidate, leads Gen, Grouf, the
republican candidate, also, for which
We arc thankful, Barlow will prob
ably DO elected at the next election.

The Democratic Congressional COM
mittee is sending from Washington
great amount of campaign literature.
Let us hope it will have a good effect.
But the true way to keep party men
faithful, to make converts, and to pro
mote party success generally, Is to en-
courage and support the local party
papers.
That's the practical way. Support
your own local democratic papers and
the vote of the party will more than
hold its own. As we increase the
subscription list of our local democrat
ic papers we shall increase the vote Of
the party. So, brother democrats of
Windsor county, increase the sutscyip-
tion of the AGE, and we shall be
blessed and prospered. Don't forget
