THE POOR LITTLE GREENBACK PARTY
GETTING CONsUMPTIvE.
CARRY THE NEWS TO THE SOLID
SOUTH.

The election last Tuesday resulted il
an utter rout for the Democracy, the
Republican vote and majority being
largely increased over that of the cor
responding election four years ago
We are unable to present complete re-
turns. The Rutland Herald and Globe
sums up the result as Car as heard from
as follows:
The tables we present herewith show
the following facts and figures: The
entire state, with the exception of 4
towns, gives Farnham 7,4Sl, Phelp,
81 ,2S1, Heath ,498, showinga pluraii
ty for Farnham of &c POP, and maiori
ty over all of24 ,7OS.
The Republicans lost largely in thu
third district by the Greenback vote
which, it is well known, was drawn il
a large degree from their ranks. TIL.
principal reason for this was the Bar
low contest two years ago. Thirty-on,
Republican votes were cast in Putne,
for John b. Mead. If the Republican!
had polled their full actual strength IN,
majority would be easily $1,000. Tht
only fair party test is between Farm
ham and Phelps, and even that is hard
ly fair, as 1t is estimated that three
quarters of the Greenbackers came from
the Republican party.
An Associated Press despatch give
the following summary, the day aftel
the election.

1904 and a Democratic gain of 1877 In
220 towns. The towns to be heard from
gave Fairbanks, Republican, in 1876,
65S, and Bingham, Democrat, 668; but
it the Republican gain in the remaining
towns is proportiOnate to those heard
from, Farnham's majority will be al
least 1886. On the entire vote of the
state in 1876 the Republican majority
was 20, 1925. In the first Congressional
