The result of the election on Treodo -

The result of the election on Tuesday in
Republican iron-clad Vermont is calculated
to send cold chill along the entire Rcpubli-
can line. The Republicans have carried the
State, as they have done for many years, but
their decreased majority on Tuesday is an
indication that thoughtful Republicans, who
love their country and deprecate partisan in.
justice in any form, are opposed to the Force
bill and the extravagant and wasteful man
ner in which the surplus that President
Cleveland left in the treasury has been dis
sipated. The Republican Encouragement
is bearing fruit in increased majorities in
Democratic States and a decrease in every
Republican State.
