THE STATE ELECTION.


The result of our State election speaks for
itself Tie vote is a light one. but the ma
jority is fully mp - the old-tine standard;
and the figures will give but cold comfort to
of the party in other States, the Republicans
Of Vermont are as far as National issues are
concerned, as united rs ever and as constant
to the political faith they have so splendidly
maintained for so many years. Our candi-
dat, for State officers were men thoroughly
deserving of the confidence of the people
which found such gratifying expression +;
and altogether the result is creditabc to the
Republicans OF Vermont.
In the First Congressional District Hon.
John ". Stewart is elected by the usual over
whelming majority-a majority SO large that
it couldn't be overcome by anything short Of
Il cataclysm Of nature

This is due 10 two causes first, the old op-
position to Judge Poland, which ii was idle
to suppose could die away and leave no echo :;
and second, TO very general conviction
that Gen. Grout has been very hardly
treated, The second cause operated strongly
in these counties which belong TO Gen.
Grants old District, and the result is shown
in the heavy vote he received and the way
Judge Polands name was cut 1t is to be
said that Gen. Grout in no way countenanc-
ed Il bolt, nor did he use any effort TO defeat
The regular ticket the failure TO elect can
not be laid at his door.
\ result OF the election which is really
Notifying is the number of Democrats
who have crept into the Legislature

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Mr. Blainc's Ideas Upon the Much

Misunderstanding fth Accident.

Our dispatches have given brief account
of a terrible accident near Iiughstetten, on
the railroad between Freiburg aud Colmar,
by which at least fifty persons were killed
and many injured. Later dispatches place
the number of killed at one hundred and
state that about three hundred others were
injured. The train which was wrecked was
an excursion train and was made up of

caused them to sink. The number Of per-
sons smothered in the deep mud of the
swamp has not yet been ascertained.
a despatch from Berlin says The train
wrecked near lIughstetten was special Sun
day excursion train. Some of the suffering
survivors were taken TO the University build
ing ut Freiburg, where they were carefully
attended to. Some of the dead were mutiaed
beyond recognition. 1t appears tina, the train
was ovcrtaken by heavy Of wind and rain
One account ascribes the disaster to the
washing away of part of the enbankment
by an overswollen brook, and another by the
fall Of telegraph pole across the track

GARDINER.


Tuesday afternoon about 3 80 o'clock Hon.
James Nash, aged 6S, one of our oldest and
most respected citizens died very suddenly of
pneumonia. After an illness of several
weeks he was becoming convalescent, and
while out in the open air caught sudden
cold which again Frustrated him. The lungs
were severely affected and after suffering
acute pain for several days he succumbed.
Mr.. Nash has for 80 years been one of our
leading citizens, and has for long time
been one of our most prominent business
men, He was extensive manu-
facturer of furniture, and had large and we'll
filled warerooms. To all appearances he had
realized a competence from his business. He
was a republican of the most decided stamp
and firm principle. His fellow citizens have
honored him with the highest Offices in their
gift. he having repeatedly served in the city
council and as Mayor. He was several times
elected to the State legislature where his i'm
pressive speeches and ability in debate Sc
cured him the attention of the house. Aside
from his leadership in politics he was man
of liberal views, firm convictions and
unimpeachable character. He was
charitable, and contributed literally fer
any worthy object. He had pleasant
disposition, winning conversation and man
uers and smile and pleasant word for every
body. so that his social relations were most
pleasant. For many years he has been prom
inently connected with the temperance cause,
and had identified himself with nearly every
temperance order in the city. where he was
an efficient worker and effective speaker
Several other organizations in the city were
bonored with his membership, among them
the Odd Fellows. Probably there was no
man in the city who would be missed more
than Mr.. Nash. He was emphaii-
..,,v A man of the people. In him
tho citv has sustained great loss. while his
family mourn a devoted husband and loving
father. In their great affection they have
the sympathy of host of friends.
The funeral will be held Thursday at three
o'clock. and will be under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows. The subordinate lodge and
