The complete returns Of the Vermont
election received by the state committee

As All, or 1850 larger than ever before
cast by the party. The Democratic vote
is 1858, or 1867 less than the highest
The third party vote is 1880, or 2l7 less
than that party cast for Governor in 1856
and 1000 less than st. John received in
1854.
The figures received by the associated
press at White River junction are nearly
the same and are as follows: Complete
returns from all the towns in the State

954; majority over all, 1869 This is the
largest Republican majority ever given 10
Vermont, exceeding by 800 that given 10
1868, the largest heretofore. Republican
gain over the vote OF 1884 is 5S5S Ill |. 3
per cent, whereas the Democratic loss is
1874 2 per cent. The Republican net
gain over all is 5S0l % per cent The
Grcenback vote has entirely disappeared.
fhe Probibitory vote, although now em
bracing, besides its own distinctive adhe
rents, elements hostile to the two lsading
parties, shows gain OF 1899 over 1881.
when there was distinctive Greenback
vote. Compared with two years ago the
Prohibition vote shows loss Of 242 10
per cent.
Chairman Page Of the State Committee
summarizes the returns as follows; "The
last returns from our Vermont election
fully corrobate the earlier estimates and
show victory not only overwhelming but
absolutely unprecedented. Our entire
ticket was elected by the largest msjofity
ever given in Vermont to any State ticket.
Every county official. from Senator to
High Baiiir, is elected by large majorities
Ia every county in the State, giving us
what We have not enjoyed before 10 many
years, q Unanimous Senate. The Prohibl.

State, made thorough canvass. started
the Advocate newspaper as a party organ,
and seemed to be literally supplied with
funds, but it proved most thorough aud

less than 100 to the county, or coasidera-
