MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. AIN to-day's
elections there were no prominent local or
State issues calculated to call out an IN
usual vote, but as the day dawned fine.
despite the lack of canvass made bv both
sides, it seemed likely that a pretty full
vote will be pOlled. The vote of to-day is
compared with the vote for Governor in
1880. That year the total vote was TO-
6S4. Of this the Republican candidate for
Governor had AZ, S48, and the Democratic
candidate 21,245, and there were 1878
Greenback votes and 13 strays. 1t is esti-
mated that each party has a reserve or
stay-at-hOme limit of several thousand,
the aggregate being nearly $4,000 votes.
The candidates in to-day's election were
as follows:
ReDu5LicGR-Governor, Samuel E. Pingree;
Lieutenant Governor, E. J. Ormsbee: Secre-
tary, Charles w. Porter; Trea, urer, Wm. H.
Dubois; Auditor, X. Henry Powell; Congress
man, First district, John w. Stewart: Second
district, VIM. W. GrOut.
DeaOcrdtic-GovernOr, J.. W. Reddington;
Lieutenant Governor, n. Z. BrOman; Secre-
terry, ii. f. Bigham; Treasurer, Henry Gillet;
Auditor, G. s. Noyes; Congressman, First
district, q. Ii. simmons; Second district, NJ.
H. Goddard.
Pingree is the present Governor.
OTHER TICKETS.
The Greenbackers had a ticket in the
field, but their vote was expected to be
small.
The Independents had within the last
month put ticket in the field, which was
identically the same as that of the Re
publicans, with the exception of the sub
stitutiOn of the names of &. NJ. Stone, of
st. Johnsbury, for Governor, and Charles
WaterhOuse, Of Rutland, for Lieutenant
Governor.
A new feature Of the present election
was that the Secretary of State and State
Auditor were for the first time elected
by the people, instead of by the General
Assembly as formerly. Two members of
Congress, members of the Legislature
and county officers were voted for. The
new Legislature will elect a successor to
United States Senator Morrill,. The last
Legislature had 1855 Republican majority
on Joint ballot.
