1t was the boastful prediction of
the prohibition stumpers who pretty
thoroughly stumped this state before
election that the third party would elect
a president of the United States in
1892. In the November election,
1884, when the prohibitionists made
their first appearance in voting for
St. John, they cast 1,752 votes: at
the election in 1886 they cast ,541
last Tuesday, according to the best
figures and estimates, they cast but
1915. Taking these figures as
basis Of calculation, how long will it
take them in Vermont to reach a
majority and place this state in the
column of states that shall cast their
electoral votes for prohibition pres
ident?

cordially in accord with the national
ticket, and while his health, and
more particularly his voice, forbade
his making campaign speeches, he
made handsome contribution to the
campaign fund, and took the trouble
to go home to vote. The largely in
creased republican majority in Yer
sll6nt has settled all anxiety here
about New England, and about the
active interest of republicans every
where in the success of the national
ticket. 1t satisfies them that the
presidents sudden change of posi-
ton in regard to our relations with
Canada has mislead no republicans,
and that his belated message has
had no effect.
BURLINGTON, W., Sept. 6. The
republican plurality in the state prom
Uses to exceed 2S,50O and may reach
$4,000. Returns have been received
here from 227 out of 243 towns,
which makes the total vote in the
towns heard from as follows: Dill
bingham, 1904; Shurtleff, 1881
Seeley, 1906; Dillingham's plurality
28,373. The 16 towns to be heard
from gave Pingree four years ago
791 and Redington 40. If the
same percentage of gain is made in
the republican vote in these towns
as in those reported the plurality for
Dillingham; will be increased 400,
which will make his plurality in the
state 2S,773. The republicans elect
ed 211 representatives and the dem
ocrats 16 in the 227 towns reported.
The House Will probably stand 224
republican to Is democrats.
The House will contain quite a
number of strong men, among the
most prominent members being Red
field Proctor of Proctorsville, Josiah
Circuit of Derby, Henry Ballard of
Burlington, G. A. Prouty of New
port, Hosea Mann, Jr., of Whining
ton, L. d. Eldredge of Middlebury,
Walter E. Howard of Fairhaven, n.
L. Boyden of Randolph, Henry f.
Field of Rutland, Edwin Z. Palmer
of Waterbury, Charles P. Marsh of

Bennington, j. III. George of Hard
wick, @. l.. Chaffee of Rochester,
Dwight Tuxbury of Windsor, DR.. j.
A. Perkins of Bakersfield. H. G..
Cleveland of Coventry, and Charles
Dole of Northfield. Speaker Grout
is returned from Derby, and will
probably be reelected to the speak
ership of the House without serious
opposition. Bolton sends a repub-
lican to the House for the first time
in fifteen years. In 1886 the town
elected a democrat by "a majority.
This year Stevens, republican, was
elected by majority of SO. North
field, Rutland, Burlington and Fair
field were also redeemed by the re-
publicans electing republican repre-
sentatives by handsome majorities.
The democrats were confident of
carrying Burlington and electing L.
G. O'Sullivan city representative, and
in anticipation of victory at the
polls in Burlington some 500 torches
were sent up here from Montpelier
by the local democracy for the use
of their brethren in the Queen City.
1t so happened that this city gave
Dillingham; a majority of 500, and
elected Henry Ballard representa-
tive by 1915 majority. Consequent
ly the torches were shipped back to
Montpelier the night of election day
without being used.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. Republican
congressman have been looking with
some solicitude for the election re-
turns from Vermont. There was
little apprehension that the result of
over-confidence would be reduction
of the republican majority that would
have some effect in portions of the
country where the republicans have
not quite so much advantage over
the democrats. Senator Edmunds'
declination of an invitation to make
speeches was thought by some who
do not know him to be an indication
of Indifference. Senator Edmunds has

Among the most gratifying things,
locally, in regard to the election is
the defeat of John W. Currier of
Troy, who, by means peculiarly his
own, has been able frequently to car
ry the town. The republicans woke
up this year and ''cleaned him OUT
most handsomely. The customs of :
ficials and other Cleveland pap suck
ers were intending to have a big
wake over the defeat of the republi-
cans of Troy, but the entertainment
is indefinitely postponed.s

The election of Major Grout to the
legislature makes it probable that he
will be again chosen Speaker of the
House. His experience in the chair,
and his popularity and ability are
such that he will be accorded the
honor without particular opposition.
The Rutland Herald, Burlington Free
Press and other journals have already
conceded the great strength of Maj.
Grout. 1t is needless to say that he
will be heartily supported in all the
northeastern section of the state.

Washington county gives Dilling-
ham 4133 votes, Shurtleff 2162, and
Seeley 70, making Dillingham's plu-
rality 1871 and his majority over all
1892. This means the largest re-
publican vote, the largest republican
plurality and the largest republican
majority ever given in a September
election.
The following figures of the vote
of the county for governor in former
presidential years show how the re-
publicans of Washington county have
beaten their former records. In 1884
Pingree had 1926 Redington, 1914 !;
all others, 1852; republican plurality,
AL; majority, 1853. In 1880
Farnham had $500; Phelps, 2,094 !;
Heath (greenback), 1928; republican
plurality, 1872; majority, 1889. In
1876 Fairbanks had 1908; Bing-
ham, 1896; scattering, 4; repub-
lican plurality, | ,2O7 majority, ,2O3.
These figures show republican gain
in the majority in the county of 633
over that of 1884, or 500 over that
of 1880, and of $50 over that of
1876.
Moretown is the banner town in
percentage of republican gains. Its
vote in 1876 was 80 republican and
$50 democratic now it is 1872 re-
publican and 90 democratic on the
state and county tickets. In 1880
the republicans were in a minority
of 80 and in 1884 in a minority of
81; now their clear majority for the
republican state ticket is 50.
Duxbury is almost neck-and-neck
with Moretown in the race for the
largest proportional gain.

She touched, and 10 each silent silver wire
Won soul and music from her finger tips,
And trembed like some convent maiden's
lips
Pallid with holy passion and desirel
The evening shadows gathered, and the fire
Flickered and struggled on unseen with
death;
Yet still Il sat and hushed my very breath
To cat, the palpitaiions of her Tyre.
Dead pictured eyes smiled strangely from the
the wall
The lyres wild chords with dead lips were
so loud
That every shadow seemed to grow shroud.
Low echoes fell like voices from above,
And ever and anon there came the call,
All tremulous with triumph, love love
