be achieved by thorough and intelligent
discussion of the issues Of the day. The
Republicans of Vermont had a speaking
campaign under the lead of Senator Ed
munds, just as the Maine Republicans
are having under the leadership of Mr..
Blaine, and the Republicans OF this state
will have under the leadership of War
ner Miller. The great issue of the cam
paign, the Protection of Home Industry
has been brought home to the farmers,
the wool growers, the workingmen, and
the result is this splendid plurality.
Woodford balo'ted IA times, and NJ.
Il. Woodward, Republican, tied the
vote against his name, consisting of that
cast for two candidates, on seven bal
lots. This WAS nearly a Waterloo for
the Democracy in that stronghold.
Three candidates ran in SALISBURY, but
that dodge didn't work this year, and a
staunch Republican, II, NJ. Bottum, was
elected, SYNDICATE Democracy tried to
stampede the Republicans with two can
didates, but protection vas in the air.
Somerset elected Republican represen-
tative on the ninth ballot, by three ma
joriry, and Searsburgh elected one on
the eleventh ballot by three majority
while it required eight ballots at Reads
bore, with four majority.
Every federal office holder in Vermont
took part in the campaign both on the
stump and at the polls on Tuesday. In
Burlington where Collector Smalley got
in his fine work the Democrats suffered
disastrous lUsses, and in Montpelier
where "Hl" Atkins, who has the honor
to be Vermont's representative on the
Democratic National Committee, did his
pretties , the Republicans made aston
ishing gains. Verify the crack of doom
for the Democracy Is not far in the
future.
First, Oregon now Vermont next
week Maine. The popular verdict against
Cleveland and free trade is being regis
tered with considerable emphasis.
Il say, DAN" said Grover, 1.-THE people
Of Vermont don't seem to take a great
deal Of stock in me. What's the cause p
Your position on the tariff, fear, your
honor" replied Dan. Look in the
books, Dan, and find out coun ny
where they dig marble, and I'll see what
| can do" and the great man rolled his
chair around and wrote letters filled
with reproach to Smalley and Hi
Athens.
Only about Sl3, 900, 900 of that surplus
is left. The Democracy has absorbed it,
Reform is necessary.

THE Latest FIGURES.
BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. 6.-The Free
Press has returns from all but 10 of the
smaller towns in the state, giving Dill.
bingham 47,3O4, Shurtltff 1870, and
Seeley 1906. This gives a Republican
majority Of 27,Oss, and plurality OF
2S, 1893. The towns yet to report will add
about 45O to the Republican majority
and plurality.
OPINIONS ABOUT IT.
The result shows that this prediction
of an increased majority over Gov Pin.
gree's Of %, 704 in 1884 has not been
verified. The Republicans carry the
State for Governor by a majority esti.
mated at $1,000. This means nothing
New York World.
In Vermont the complete and over.

Democrats was entirely deserved. The
