VERMONT ELECTION.
THE STATE CARRIED BY REDUCED Ma,
JoRITY AFTER A SPIRITED CAMPAIGN
BY THE REPUBLICANS.

MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. "A Special to
the Chicago Daily Neaos. Says: The cit>
izens of Vermont to day elected gover>
nor, with other state officers, two mem>
bers of congress, and legislature, which
will choose successor to Senator j. S.
Morrill,. The campaign has been spir>
tied one on the part of the republicans,
but the democrats, realizing that the re-
publicans in the state outnumbered them
two to one. have taken little interest in
the campaign. Their candidate for gov
ernor, Lyman W. Reddington, a popular
young man,l has made many speeches,
however, and shown strong qualities of
leadership. The returns have been an
xiously awaited, not from any uncertains
ty as to the result, but from the effect
which the size of the republican plurality
would have on other states. In 1880
Ezra Farnham, the republican candidate
for governor, received plurality of 26,-
COS. Any falling off of that plurality
would fairly indicate the extent of the
republican disgruntlement over the defeat
of Edmunds at Chicago. and the nomina,
ton of Blaine. At II p. m. returns from
seventy towns give Pingree. republican,
for governor, $4,000; Reddington, demos
crat, 6,764; scattering, 119; republican
plurality, 1886. These towns in 1880
gave Farnham, republican, 16, 774 ; Phelps,
democrat, 1886; scattering. ia, republi>
can plurative, 8, 1877. The decrease in the
republican plurality of this year over
1880 in these seventy towns is 1,942
There are 241 towns in the state. and the
same decrease throughout all will make a
total decrease over 1880 Of G, ,497, giving
the republicans this year plurality of
90, 106-a falling off of something over 90
per cent, The total republican vote shows
a falling off of IA per cent and the total
democrat vote of 9 per cent.
| Col. George W. Hooker, of Brattleboro,
assistant secretary of the republican ma

legislature. His majority last year was
about $50.
Throughout the day the governor elect

ternoon he said at is my opinion that
that the vote in Vermont today will have
inconsiderable effect in other states
in November Although it is moi
improbable that Blaine will have
a very heavy majority here, it is useless
to deny that the republicans in this state
