New York, 8-The Tunes says Of the
Vermont election: The most sanguine
of the estimates which were other than
mere guesses gave republicans this year
the majority Of 1876, between %, 900 and
$4,000, but all returns so far received
show that the majority OF 1872 has been
exceeded.
The Tribune says if republicans gain
in the 131 towns not fully reported as
they have gained in the towns heard
from, their majority will be %, 100. This
would exceed the widest Of the most
ssnguine republicans. 1t would exceed
the largest republican majority for
governor in the last decade. Republi-
cans have already $1,000 majority in ITO
out of 23l towns, and they would have
been satisfied with 10000 in the whole
state.
Burlington, Vt, S.-The $50 towns
heard from give republicans majority
of 1900; on this basis the republican
maiority over all will be about %, 800 and
their plurality about $1,000. The legis-
lature will have but one democratic
senator. The House Is overwhelmingly
rep" bican.
