Burlington, Sept. 4.-Ihe :" star that never
sets in the political horizon of the Union shines
brighter than tonight the brilliant Re-
publican victory won in the State election to-day
by Dillingham; and Woodbury. and the whole
State Congressional and county ticlSets. This
sweeping triumph of the Vermont Republicans
over the frec-tradc Democracy is most emphatic
Endorsement of Harrison, Morton and protection.
The State has gone Republican by largely
increased majority over that given the
Gube,natorial ticket in 1884 and the Senate
Will probably be solidly Republican.
The efforts exerted by the Administration
through its hundreds of olicc-holders to rally the
Democratic voters to the polls, and thereby secure
an Endorsement of the Free Trade policy OF the
English Democratic union, proved abortive and
the election is Il sharp rcbukc to England and the
Solid South. The frecmen of Vermont have in
this election recorded their verdict on the tariff
issue Enthusiastically in favor of protection to Amer
lean industries. The wool growers of Addison
County. the marbc-workers of Rutland County,
the employees in the woocn mills OF
Bennington County. the lumbermen OF
Essex. Orleans and Lamole counties
the granite workers Of Washington County,
and the farmers and wagc-carners of agricultural
and industrial Vermont have responded at the
ballot-box to the Presidents tariff message and
Judge Thurmans frcctrade arguments. Tho
half million Of sheep upon the hllsidcs of Yer
mont send greeting to the 100000 sheep that
voted for protection in Oregon last June.
The rout Of the Democracy in the Green Noun
tain State is colhplcte and thorough. The party

publican ballots in the State at large, but it is
dethroned from power in n number of local strong
holds. Franklin County has been redeemed by
the Republicans, and elects three Senator's by a
handsome majority. In ss4 the regular Repub-
lican Senatorial ticket was defeated
in Franklin County by majorities rang
ing from 395 to $50 Three Democratic
Senators elected in 1886 Powell, DEM

Senators. The Republican Senatorial ticket is
headed by Colonel f. Stewart Stranahan of ST.
Ahans. His associates on the ticket are W. II.
Gddings, Of Bakersfield, and f. r Bell Of
Franklin Colonel Stranahan handsomely
indorscd by st. Abans, receiving 1000 votes out
Of 200 cast. The election of Colonel Stranahan
10 thc senate from FRANKLIN county Is assured
by at least 1900 majority. Mcssrs. Giddings
and Bell are also elected by good maiortics
The Republicans have redeemed Rutland and
Burlington and several other large towns and
elected representatives from many towns which
went Democratic in 1884. The city
Of Burlington elected Democratic
