THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Returns from all but about thirty
small towns show majority for the
Republican State ticket rising 1900,
One democratic and twenty-nine re.
publican senator's, with less than for
ty democrats elected to the house of
representatives. Edmunds will have a
large majority of the members elect.
Stewart and Grout are overwhelming
ly elected to Congress. This is the
verdict the republican party has rem
dered in answer to chairman Atkins
appeal to the freemen of Vermont to
endorse the new reform administra-
ton. 1t is rather dismal music for our
neighbor at Montpelier, but it will help
to let him down to the defeat of his
party in the nation which seems pretty
sure to come in 1888.
