To the above paragraph it must be added,
since the receipt of this weeks Montpelier
papers, that the stories about the intention of
the Central Vermont company in regard to
the payment of its taxes are numerous and no
two of them agree. The Argus says that the
company does not concede its liability, but
that it will pay under protest so as to save
the penalties for delay if the courts should
decide against it. The Waterman, on the con
trary, says the tax commissioner has had no
notice of the intention of the company to
pay, but that sit is, however, generally un-
derstood that the company has no other in
tention, as soon as it shall have become the
legal owner of the property. 1t has been
waiting merely for the completion of the le-
gal formalties which will give it ownership
and comedies that the exemption privilege
which the old charter conferred will lapse
when the road formally passes into the con-
solidation." The Watohman further says
that the Troy q Boston road has been sued
for the collection of the taxes due on its FIVE
miles of road in this state.

Incidents of Republican determination in
the Massachusetts election abound One gen
tleman in Connecticut chartered locomotive
to carry him to point where he could catch
the express train and reach Boston in season
to vote Another gentleman ran the engine
while his engineer went to the polls, and then
looked after an elevator while the man in
charge took his turn at voting. Still another
determined voter came all the way from Ne
braska at his own expense to vote, arriving in
Boston late Monday night and starting back
Tuesday as soon as he had voted. In anoth-
er case captain held his ship in port for
four or five days, at an extra expense of 1925
to $50 day, so that he might be able to vote
against Butler. Taken all in all, it was case
where Massachusetts people of all respectable
classes were mad clear through" to some
good purpose

The result of the election in New York can
not be regarded otherwise than as a Republi-
can victory, taken in connection with the fact
that the Democrats carried the state year
ago by nearly 100000 and both branches of
the legislature. 1t now appears that the Re-
publican candidate for secretary of state has
been elected, and that the vote for the other
state officers is very close, with the indications
favorable to the Democratic candidates. The
legislature is surely Republican. This result,
at least, puts New York among the doubtful
states next year. Republicans, however, will
fairly claim that it gives them the advantage
in the national contest, as it shows that the
drift is Enthusiastically toward the Republican
party.

The Director of the Mint, in his annual re.
port just published, enters protest against
the further coinage of silver dollars, and
gives a few statistics which furnish the
thought and possible argument for the repeal
of our present senseless silver coinage law
Up to October l, there had been coined, since
the act of 1878 went into effect, 1854, 37O,
500 in silver dollars, and $81, 900, 600 in
smaller pieces. How much of this amount
is in excess of our requirements Mr.. Bur-
chard, the Director, says, should be immedi-
ately realized when it is learned that there
are now in the vaults of the treasury 80, OOO,-
600 standard dollars over and above the out
standing silver certificates. In addition $27,-
10000 in fractional currency also lies there

An answer to your question is easy to the cause
OF the result In Massachusetts. Last year had 1884,

Garfield election Of 1850: GARFIELD los 900, Hancock
10000; total 277 600 This year the vote 9l3
Of which have $4,000. This enormous increase has
been caused by the rees OF money fraud and the
corruption of my opponents. More votes have been
cast than Will be in the next presidential year. The
500 or 1000 plurality OF my opponent more than
lost In the city Of Boston. Massachusetts, is there

yass, without further gain, when has Increased
the Democratic vote from $4,000 to $4,000 in three
years is there any need Of answer to your ques
ton what my programme will be am pleased with
the result. would rather have my vote than to be
elected by 1885, OO0 In that 1t would be said Mas
sachusetts is Republican state; she has large re-
serve vote, which in presidential election will come
out. Now we have had them all out and measured
them, and in the next presidential election with ill.,
dicious platform and popular nomination, at least
we should keep all the Republican men aud money at
home to take care of Butler instead Of sending them
to Ohio and Indiana to corrupt those states.

A Coed nay for the Republicans and

Elections were held in ten states on Tues
day. In almost every instance the result was
unexpectedly favorable to the Republicans.
The outcome as whole shows that last years

most gratifying feature of the days work was
the burial of Butler in Massachusetts, under q
plurality of more than 10, 900 votes. In Vir-

Election Day.

The MassaChuaetts GOvernOr.RIect ON
Election Day.
Mr.. Robinson spent the day quietly at his
beautiful home in Chcopee. AT half. past one
he went to the polls and deposited a straight
Republican ballot. During the day there was
great activity among his townsmen, both of
those who opposed and those who agreed
with him politically. They succeeded in
bringing out liOi votes, the largest number
ever cast in Chicopee, aud Mr.. Robinsons
friends had the satisfaction Of carrying the
town for him by 81 votes, against Butler
majority last year of 2Gl The young Irish
vote of the town was given solidly for Mr..
Robinson. The news of his own town first
suggested that the turn of the tide had come.
Among the dispatches from all over the state
which came in during the evening, a very
pleasant one was from Bishop. last years

in the evening, by the urgent request of the

Washington despatch says that the re-
jocing in that city over Buffers defeat is
general among Republicans and Democrats
alike. Among Republicans the rejoicing is
caused by the feeling that the worst dema-
gogue of the country has been destroyed
The Democrats rejoice because freed from
the dread that in some way, If he had been
successful in Massachusetts, he would have
forced himself on their next national conven-
ton. The general result is accepted by Re-
publicans as an assurance that with good
ticket their party can easily win in the rext
general election. Dispatches sent by But
lers friends allege many reasons for his de-
feat One of them is that the Tilden inter
est was used against him in the fear that be
might become a prominent factor in next
years national campaign, Another reason is
named in the unexpected vote of the colored
men of the state. Butler expected to cap
ture seven eighths of that vote because of the
rejection by the Republican council of his
nomination of colored man for local
iudgeship, but the fact is that the colored
vote of Boston, nearly 1000, was cast solidly
against him.
The heated political canvass which has
been in progress in Virginia resulted, last
Saturday night, at Danvile in the southwest
ern part of the state, in riot against the ne
groes which is a strong reminder of the Ham
burg massacre and of the doings of the red
shirted chivalry at other points in South Car
olina not many years ago. The impression
given by the dispatches first sent out was that
the negroes at Danville had begun the row,
attacking the white men with arms and keep
ing itup through the night. The facts prove
to have been directly contrary. While the
streets were crowded, and blacks and whites
were doing their marketing for Sunday,
white man and a negro jostled each other on
the sidewalk dispute arose, and the whites
made the trivial incident an excuse for an in
discriminate attack on unarmed and inofTen.
sive negroes in which many were shot down
one account saying that the bodies of no
less than p dead negroes had been found.
Curiously enough it is added that only two
whites were killed and those "by accident +"
The riot and excitement continued through
the night. One despatch, which originates
in Democratic sources, admits that the whole
affair was only pretext TO keep the negroes
from voting on Tuesday. That such was the
case there can he LITTLE doubt

Connecticut.

The election was for an auditor general and
state treasurer. Returns are in from all parts
of the state, and Republican majority of
$4,000 to 20, 600 is assured. The Greenback
vote is insignificant, falling much behind that
of last year, when it was 23, 484. The pres
ent indications are that it will be scarcely
one-fourth that amount this year On the
contrary, the Prohibition vote, which was
last year ., 1876, will be increased considera-
bly,. The result as a whole gives unexpected
encouragement to the Republicans.
