EASTERN DISPATCHES
Hurrah for Vermont.

New York. September s.-Ths Times
SAYS Of the Vermont election: The most
sanRuins OF the estimates which were
other than mere guess gave the Repub.
licans this year the majority Of 1876
between %. 900 and 24.0OO-but all the
returns so far received show that the
majority OF 1879 has been exceeded.
The Tribune says: II the Republicans
paiu in the l2l towns not fully reported
as they have in the towns heard from.
their majority will be 25.790. This
would exceed the widest anticipations
Of the mos, sanguins Republicans. and
would exceed the largest Republican
majority for Governor In the last decade.
The Republicans already have $1,000
majority in ITO out OF 23l towns, and
thew would have bssn satisfied with
20. 600 In the whole State. The result
in Vermont looks like the beginning OF Q
Democratic Waterloo.
BURLINGTON, Vermont, September g.
One hundred aud fifty towns have been
heard from, which give the Republicans
a majority Of 1900. On this basis the
Republican majority over all will be
about 22,600. and their plurality about
q, 900. The Legislature will have but
one Democratic Senator. The House
will be overwhelmingly Republican.

The Knights OF Labor.

PIrrsBuRo. September ga delegate
MEETING Of the Knights OF Labor has
been in progress here since Monday
evening. Over q hundred representa-
tives are present, and as many more are
expected. The order claims to have q
membership throughout the United
States Of over 8. 600. 900. aud in ALE.
gheny county alone Of $1,000. As the
proceedings are secret, the precise OBJ.
ject OF the gathering can only be o~onjso.
tured. It has leaked out, however, that
politics form o considerable part OF the
discussion. It 10 asserted by some that
the determination was reached to main.
tain an independent attitude In the
Presidential contest. and 10 form COM
binatiops wherever possible, in order to
secure OF least one e%lsctor. This, they
think, will give them the balance Of
power, or at least enhance their import
sncs as O factor in national politics. On
the other hand. 1t Is said In some guar.
tiers, that there 10 o strong probability
that the meeting will decide to support
Garfield because OF his ~well-known sym
patby with the labor principles Of their
organization.
