THE ELECTIONS.

The republicans OF Vermont have
lone remarkably well on their state
ticket. There is falling off in the
aggregate vote of both parties as
with presidential years,
but it is some four thousand larger
than in 1882. The aggregate guber-
Material vote cast this year is 56,479,
Of which Ormsbee received 1861;
Shurtleff, 1901; Seeley, 1852
greenback and scattering, 275-a re-
publican majority of 1878 and plu-
rality of 2O,59O. The prohibition
vote was drawn mostly from the re-
publican party. In 1882 the aggre-
gate vote was 81, 1889, divided as fol-
lows: Barstow (republican) 35, S39;
Eaton (democrat), 14,446; Martin
(greenback), 1856 scattering, eight
"a republican majority of 1929
and a plurality OF 21, 1878. The as
sociated press report says: ''The re-
publican vote this year exceeds that
of 1882 by 1872; the democratic
vote this year exceeds that of 1884
by 2,525, and the prohibition vote Of
this year is about equivalent to the
greenback vote in 1882. The differ
ence in the gain made by the demo-
Gratis and republicans this year IS
685. Add this to the difference be-
tween the scattering vote in 1882 and
that of this year, 267. and it makes
952, which represents very nearly
the difference between the republican
majority this year and in 1882" 1t
is apparent that the greenbackers
need not go to the trouble of holding
another state convention in Vermont.
The vote on congressman is as fol-
lows: One hundred ten towns, COM
prising the first congressional dis
trict, give Stewart 5000 and Brig
ham 5 ,691 scattering ,24O-Stewart' S
plurality, lO,299, and majority, 49,
O59. One hundred thirty-one towns,
comprising the second congressional
district, give Grout 1904; Folsom,
1921; and scattering sixty-six-
making CIRCUITS majority 1,O19 and
his plurality II ,OS3.
The senate is republican with g
single exception. According to the
associated press report the represent
atives are divided politically as fol
lows:
Edmunds republicans 155
Anti Edmunds republicans
Straight republicans 45
Prohibition republicans
Straight democrats Y
Edmunds democrats
| Total 239
| In TWO JOWnS-Onelnelu anu UrdHVLle-nO repre-
| septatives were elected. Anti Edmnnds repubG,
ans represent the towns of Bethel Milton, Ricl
| ford, Middlesex, Bakersfield and st. Adams. EC
munds democrats represent Burlington, So, Blu
| ington, Peru and Brookline. Washington an
| Chelsea send prohibitionists.
The democrats are much puzzle
to account for their reverses. The
had boosted that they would hav
from sixty to eighty representatives
and some republican politicians ha
conceded to them seventy-fve.
Seventeen towns represented b
democrats in 1884 are now reporte
republican eleven towns representa-
by republicans in 1884 are now repr,
scented by democrats. The only den
ocratic senator elected IS pledged
vote for Edmunds, and it is elaine
that some of the democratic represen
atives will vote for him. 1t is we
known that large number of dem'
cratic voters in Franklin, Chittendel
Rutland, Orange and other counts
supported Edmunds candidates fl
representatives.
