Vic pOpmlnr Vote.

Ever since the result of the votes counted
ana returned for presidential electors became
known the democratic papers of the country
have been trying to extract some consolation
from the apparent democratic plurality of
about 100. 600, as against only about 10000
four years ago and have used this as an
argument for the abolition OF the electoral
college. Let us see how this plurality was
obtained. The northern States gave Mr..
Blaine in 1884 "A plurality OF 1|3,OOO; in
1883 they gave Gen. Harrison n plurality of
& COO This was loss for Mr.. Cleveland
Of IS. U0O In the States of Delaware, Mary
and. Virginia. West Virginia, North Caro-
lima. Tennessee. Kentucky, Missouri and
Arkansas. in the majority of which If is con
coded 10y republicans that there are fair
elections. and in the others that there is at
least an approach TO such elections MIR
Cleveland received in the aggregate li3,OOW
votes more than MIR. Blaine. At the election
in November these last named States gave
him plurality of only l45, 600 which show,
a relative loss of $4,000. 1t appears then
that in the Northern States, where the cleo
tons are free and in those Southern States
where there is an approach to such freedom.
MIR. Cleveland lost 80. coo a. compared with
four year, ago, or more than double his
plurality over Mr.. Blaine. The figures of
the vote in the remaining States show very
nloipiv how il happens that in the face of
mi, loss he still has an increased plurality
Of the total ponulnr vote. The state of
South Carolina. Florida. Georgia. Ala

self as the successor of the late president
Solomon, who abdicated the presidency last
August. One Gen. IIypolite, has established

gurated as president thereof on the 10th ult.,

there and elect him president. The deputies
of the northern provinces declined to join in
the election, and the question of place and

civil war which is now in progress in the re
public. Hypolite seems to have the larger
army, his poper. In in'rjc, claiming for it
strength of f. 900 men, which is probably
greatly exaggerated. Legitimc, however,
has an advantage in his control Of the Hay
tian navy. This numbers three or four
gunLoats, which amusa themselves by going
from one to another of the northern ports

These sentimental creatures never bring
their roses TO cheer up the cell of the poor
wretch who steals because he is hungry.
They instead reserve their attentions for the
drunken brute who beats his unressting
wife TO DEATH or the vile scoundrel who
shoots his mistress because she refuses longer
to support him. Frequently, too, flowers
are sent to notable criminals by actresses
and other persons who merely wish to get

Press despatch from Rutland announcing a
big marble deal, and stating that $500 900
had been paid by the Vermont Marble COM

The Associated Press made an error in the
amount of 500, 900, as the price paid was
only $500, 600.

The HaNtian Troubles.

Few of or readers probably, have been
able to keep track of the disturbances in
Hayti, or know much about that country
any way. The island Of Hayti, or San Do
ningo, is the largest of the West India
islands, with the exception of Cuba, and is
of about the size of Ireland. 1t has for the
last forty years been divided into the two
republics of Hayti and San Domingo. That
of HTayti occupies but about one third of the is
land at its western end, and has an area of TO-,
600 square miles. 1t is thus about the size
of Vermont. 1t is, however, more densely
populated than Vermont having a popula-
of so. 600, which is three -fourths of the
total population of the island, the Domini-
can republic having but $50, 600 OF the
population of the Haytian republic 800, 600
are blacks, descendants of the slaves intro
duced by the early Spanards and French
The language is corrupt French patois
The president of the republic is elected for
four years, and he holds Office as long rs he
can against the frequent instructions. At
present two rival colored chieftainS bear
sway respectively in the northern
and southern portions Of the re
public, each trying to establish him

Some of the Vermont republicans deem
that they have something of a claim on the
consideration Of President Harrison when it
comes to the distribution of cabinet port
folios. OF all tine state delegations at Chi
cago, that from Vermont alone cast its solid
vote for General Harrison from the first to
the last ballot Even Indiana did not do as
much for her tavorite son. Vermont del
egation had nothing to do with any OF the
various political pools formed at Chicago
did no swapping. made no special parade
about its action, bat II, often as the roll was
called quietly responded, Eight for Harris
ON. Vermont believed General Harrison
to he tie strongest candidate in the field,
and so just stucl; to him. There was no
more modest delegation at Chicago, and
Vermont maintained Il modest. diEniicd at
titudc during the canvass that followed.
Both in September and November she rolled
up unprecedented republican ma ioriti,~.
As to her rcpulloGniSm, there can be no
question about its orthodoxy on genuine
ness. she has never given her vote Tor a
democratic president and has never ~wcrNcd
in the l"as' from her republican principles.
1t will strike most people that should Yer
mont request a cabinet portfolio for one OF
her son. she might be able to make ont Il
pretty strong ease If General Harrison is
looking for New England member OF hi,
cabinet, why OF course Massachusetts, and
Maine and New Hampshire and Rhode Is
land and Connecticut are full Of statesmen
but at the same time there are Vermont re
publicans who would add strength to any
cabiuet. We do not understand, however
that Vermont is making any demands.

The Mortified Ncirs makes a strong plea
for district representation in our State House
ot Representatives, giving among the rea-
son. why such Il change would be beneficial,
abscntcci,n and Indifference on the part of
the members. growing out of the size of the
body. Ii believes. and with reason, that
NIFTY or sixty members would make better
laws and make them quicker than the 2i3
who now gather at the capitol, that there
would hc great saving in expense, and
that the wider field from which to make a
selection would, as a general thing result in
the choice of better men as legislators
There is obvious force in these considcra-
tions. But the subject has only specula
tive interest As long as House composed
of town representatives controls amend
mentS to the constitution, no amendment sub
shutting district Cor town representation is
likely to he submitted to the people of Yer
mont NJ least no such change can he cx-
p"ctod until some more serious trouble than
has been thus far experienced arises from
the retention of the existing system.
