week or so the name of Col. w. II. Morri-
son, of Illinois, has been frequently men
toned as probable candidate on the Dem.

injured himself otherwise in his party to
such an extent that he is generally consider.

As briefly announced by us last week, the

by tomorrow night the locomotive will be
run to Branch bridge (Williamsville station
1t is hoped that the rails may be laid to Fay

London as fast as it can be used.
Four of the passenger cars for the road
two regular passenger cars and two excursion
cars-were received yesterday. The passen-
ger cars for ordinary use are very elegant and
complete in all their appointments and will
seat Is persons. The people on the line of
the road are sure to be pleased with their
handsome appearance. The excursion, or
observation" cars, are admirably adapted
for the purpose for which they are designed.
In their general manner of construction they
resemble the cars which were run on the
narrow gauge road on the centennial grounds
at Philadelphia. To such as remember those
cars it is unnecessary to say that they have
open sides and ends, with seats running
crosswise the full width of the car These
open cars will seat 81 persons each.

The Central Campaign Club Chorus of
New York rendered serenade to the Nation
al Republican Committee aud Col. Geo w.
Hooker, its Assistant Secretary, on Friday
evening last, in honor of the splendid victory
in Vermont. The New York Tribune in
speaking of the pleasant event, says;
"Amid loud cheers for Vermont, Colonel
Hooker of that State, and secretary of tho
National Committee, came forward and thank
ed the club in the name of the State which
always went to the front when needed The
Republican soldiers of Vermont, although
closely identified with General Hancock, he
said, did not cast single Democratic vote.
N. l. Hawley of Vermont (Brattleboro) fol-
lowed briefly, saying that the Democratic
statement that the party made no effort
against the special efforts of the Republicans
in Vermont was not true The Democrats
worked as hard as the Republicans did, but
the good sense of the people caused them to
give the large majority-greater than was
asked for"

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, AND RECORD FARMER, FRIDAY


The complete returns Of our State election,
as given elsewhere fully justify the hopes
and expectations Of Republicans throughout
the country, and we have reason to feel be-
coming pride in the example which Vermont
has set her sister States. The staunchness of
Vermonts republicanism can no longer be
questioned Harangued by Democratic ora
tors Of every stripe, advised by rebel briga-
diers, instructed by statesmen of Tammauy
procliyities, appealed to by patriots of foreign
BIRTH rebuked by home-bred copperheads,
and bosought by would-be reformers of un-
savory record, the sturdy common sense of
Nermont's yeomanry has enabled them to see
through it all, to detect the chafI to under
stand the hidden purpose, and to maintain
their ranks absolutely unbroken in the face
of the enemy. Vermont has once more
spoken; and she gives the South to under
stand that the results of the war in which she
engaged and suffered are not to be ignored
that the guarantees then established are not
to be inperilled; that the blood then shed is
not to be in vain aud that the government
which she helped to preserve will not by her
consent be entrusted to the keeping of the
traitors who sought to destroy it, Just so
long as the North is confronted by a solid
South-just so long as the Southern
States maintain their policy of excusivenoss
Just so long as liberty of opinion and ex-
preston are denied to white or black, North
erner or Southemer Republican or Demo-
crat-just so long as the ex-rebels of the
South refuse to accept in good faith the re-
suits of the war in which they were defeated
just SO long will the people of Vermont re-
fuse to be ''conciliated" into an abandonment
of that party which stands for loyalty, equal
rights and honest government, or swerved
from her purpose by false cries Of reform :"

Last Monday, and on Tuesday, when the
first returns from the Maine election came in,
the indications were that the Fusionsts Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers) had won the day
The Democrats were greatly elated over the
prospect roosters were brought out by the
party papers, and in some cases powder was
burnt to celebrate the great victory" This
rejoicing was premature, however, for later
returns have steadily put better look on the
case for the Republicans. Up to this Fri
day, noon, it is still doubtful whether Davis,
the Republican candidate will have a clean
majority over all, but the towns remaining to
be heard from cannot wipe out his plurality.
The latest despatch says:
Four hundred and seventy-two towns give
Davis, Republican, 2,GG1, Plaisted II, 1888,
scattering 23G. The same towns last year
gave Davis GS, 47S, Smith a. ,5G7, Garcelon,
l,04O, scattering 2G3. Daviss plurality is
SIS, against fusion plurality last year of 1920
The 80 towns not received gave Inst year Da-
Wis G3S, the fnionists 1907, scattering SO-a
fusion majority of 572. If they come in the
same as last year, Davis will have left 3O3
plurality.
The "a towns remaining to be heard from
are mostly situated in the lake and wilderness
region of the State. If they come in with
the same Republican gains as have been
shown by the other towns in these remote dis
tricts, Daviss plurality will be 3GG, and he
will be 80 votes short of a majority. A de-
spatch from Mr.. Blaine on Thursday evening
says "the indications now point to the cleo
ton of Gov. Davis"
The Republicans elect three of the five
Congressman, and the legislature is strongly
Republican. Mr.. Blaine openly charges that
within four days preceding the election 5000
votes were turned from the Republican ticket
by the use of $1,000 TO 500, 900 by the
Democratic leaders-al of which money came
from beyond the State.

Atkins and the Defamer boy vie with
each other in their efforts to belittle the size
and effect of the Republican victory in Yer
mont This is very good in consideration of
the braggart claim made by them, up to the
very hour of counting tho votes, that the Re
publican majority would be reduced to H.
900, or 10000 at the outside. If Republi-
can gain of 3, 1876 votes against gain of l22
for the Democrats, Republican plurality
of 2G,G9l, and a clean majority over all of
25,O3O, against 20, 735 in 1876, isn't hand
some and effective Republican victory, we
should like to have Atkins and his Brattle-
boro quotation mark tell us what would con-
stitute one.

with which Vermont was appealed to by the
friends of the "Solid South" She responds
by hurting the watchword back into their

bosom, then will it be time for her to appeal
