DEMOCRATIC papers claim that Yer
mont republicans did not poll as large q
majority on the 9th inst as they did for
Garfield or Blaine. Nevertheless major
ity of 10000 In total vote OF 90, 600 seems
10 be q sufficient margin for all necessary
purposes. Besldes the legislature Is near
ly republican. Vermont leads the repub-
Ican column of 1885 with 20.590 majority
10 vote Of 64,772. The party prohibition
vote was 1889; greenback and scattering,
29S. The spinal column OF the republI-
can party remains stiff In spite of the union
OF prohibitionists and democratic SIN
ners. We don't banker after the earth and
all therein.
